The Blue Door Cafe & Bakery is an award-winning brunch spot located close to Akron, Ohio that made…read morenational news when it was named the #6 Top Brunch Spot in the USA by Yelp in 2023. It has been on my list for ages but it isn't close to my house and the wait is always long! But in March 2026, my bf and I braved the wait so I can finally check this place out! Overall, it is clear why Blue Door is always packed - the food, while overpriced, is delicious and made by a team of talented chef and bakers! I'll say this was a 4.5 star experience. We were quoted a wait for about 45 minutes but we were seated after 30. The case of baked goods were enticing me the entire time but I resisted! Our waiter, Steven, was funny, helpful, and had a great personality. The place, obviously, was packed, with little room in between tables. We saw quite a few patrons order the incredibly indulgent horchata French toast ($24) and I don't think I witnessed anyone finish it! To start, I got a coffee from local coffee roasters, Angel Falls, for $3.50 and my boyfriend treated himself to a fancy hot chai $6.50. It was pretty good local coffee! I wanted to try their famous croissants so I ordered the croque madame croissant sandwich with breakfast potatoes ($21). The croque madame was incredible! The breakfast potatoes could have benefited from an interesting seasoning. My boyfriend wanted everything on the menu but decided on getting the "special menu" loaded baked potato breakfast burger with salt+vinegar brined house chips (aka fries) for $24. The potato inside was a large potato latke. This heavenly creation kept him full for hours. In the end, our bill was pretty pricey for a brunch but we enjoyed every bite. I'm not sure if I will be able to come here again since we got lucky with our wait, but they keep changing their menu and something might entice me so much, I'll endure any wait!

I was really back and forth on whether to give this place four or five stars. Some of the food was…read moregreat. The chicken and sauce part of the chicken and waffles were amazing the corn beef hash dish was great. The waffles lacked real flavor and tasted odd. The coffee was great. Service was awesome but slow (took us 40 minutes to get our food). The restaurant is really cute looking and the pastry's look amazing but we only had the croissant which was great. The food was pretty expensive. We spent 70 bucks as a party of two. They definitely had large portions which is nice for the price however after moving here from Columbus, we've just had better for less for brunch/breakfast so that's why I needed to knock off a star. Still a good place but now where that we'd go to regularly because of the wait times and the price not making it feasible.

Service started out friendly but we were pretty much ignored after the onset. Our waters were empty and never refilled and we had to get another server's attention in order to get a refill on coffee. The food itself was just okay...not bad but nothing remarkable, in our opinion. Our party got a western omelet, a pancake and slice of French toast, and the beef tenderloin and egg special. My pancake was good but I did not care for the French toast and the syrup it was served with was just a packet of Smuckers. My husband said his omelet was just okay and the hash browns were pretty greasy. The others in our party liked the special but it didn't sit great with them afterward. Not a horrible experience at all, but I'd choose another spot for brunch next time.

I ordered the steak (medium), eggs and hashbrowns. It came out fast, but a little too fast. The steak was more rare to medium rare and bled into the eggs and potatoes. Yuck. I had to flag down the server but she took it back and returned a few minutes later with the steak redone. Now it was too done. The potatoes were okay, but neither the eggs or the steak were seasoned at all. Since this was a pricey breakfast ($14) that I basically couldn't eat and I did t want to waste the food, I took it home in a box to make stew out of. A disappointing visit, but since I was taught to say something nice or not say anything, I will say their coffee was good. Maybe they were just having an off day, but since it wasn't that busy and a Sunday, I probably won't return. There are too many other small diners who excel at their food and service.

UNACCEPTABLE! My order should have taken priority. Management is incompetent and needs a refresher course in customer service and logic. Logically my order should have taken priority.
