They're open for both breakfast and lunch with a menu that contains plenty of food and beverage items - classics, unique creations, and seasonal items too! The interior is warm and inviting with plenty of tables and cozy spots to sit. During my visit, I was intrigued by their Apple Crisp Matcha which was both refreshing while maintaining fall vibes. But my snack stole the show! Their Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal was 10/10 and I have been thinking of it ever since. I can't wait to go back and try one of their coffees and a breakfast sandwich! read more

Porchlight coffee is a very good space for working. There's plenty of seating and even a back room with a large conference table. The chai was really lovely. I tried the breakfast sandwich which tasted good but was a little sparse in terms of the filling. A plus is that they have gluten free bread available. read more

Porchlight Coffee feels like it's having a bit of an identity crisis--it's not totally clear if it wants to be a true coffee shop or something else. The vibe is a bit off and the environment feels somewhat strange, which made it hard to settle in. That said, the space does have some charm. The tables are beautiful, but not very functional if you're using a mouse or trying to get serious work done. The coffee itself is decent--not quite my preferred taste, but I can see how others might enjoy it. It has quality, just not the flavor profile I personally look for. read more

We always enjoy the coffee and atmosphere at this hidden gem. Sometimes it can be too busy to get a seat but we chance it anyway.

Top 3 coffee spot in the area! To top it off the food is amazing and fresh every time. Workers have all been great and the setup is really cool. read more

I purchased a macchiato here. The presentation was OK and the flavor was just OK. A little acidic if I was basing my review just on my Cortado. It probably would be a three. However, I feel like I need to try different cups of coffee here and this is my first experience here. The atmosphere is amazing. The workspace is amazing. They have free Wi-Fi. The woman that works at the counter was super friendly and engaging. She also let me know that they make all their simple syrups and HOUSE, which I think is a huge plus if I was basing my review on that it would be a five. Atmosphere would be a 5. They also offer some food and sweet treats. Parking is easy. read more

Always am pleased with my visits here! To come with friends for a book discussion or by yourself to work on some things over the weekend, it's the perfect environment for so many things. They have both small and long tables for small or large groups. Staff is always friendly and the drinks/food are great. This peach burrata toast was a delightful, summery treat! read more

The avocado toast, cold brew and draft vanilla latte were all wonderful. The wait time for the food and the fact that it all came out at very different times was a little frustrating. We ended up waiting 35 minutes for a burrito. They did offer us a free drink card for a future visit and apologized for the wait though. Only other little frustrations were paying $14.50 for 2 pieces of toast because we ordered 1 of each flavor instead of 2 of the same flavor (which would only have cost $10.50), and the peanut butter toast was not like described (it had 4 small slices of apple on it with a lot of peanut butter and a drizzle of honey; there was no spiced apple compote or granola on it like was described on the menu). We also tried to order a nitro cold brew as it's listed on their website, but the person waiting on us said she didn't know what we meant by "nitro" cold brew and that they didn't offer that. All in all, the experience was OK and we will likely visit again for drinks and the avocado toast. read more

Really love this place, it's perfect for sitting in. The coffee and pastries are amazing!

Cute place. Limited menu on food, with high prices, and takes a while to get, but was delicious and fresh ingredients. The drinks were quick, beautiful, and delicious! The place was busy with people and spacious enough to hold everyone without feeling cramped. I'll be back for sure when in the area! read more

I decided to try something new this morning so I went here and got avocado toast with fried egg on top. My egg came out green. So I asked the employee working and he said that it was normal. I've never ate green eggs before. Sadly I ate the first egg before I noticed this green mess. Now my stomach is in knots and I definitely won't be coming back here. read more

Nice open space with great coffee. This is a review for the pour over and apricot pastry I got. Both were excellent. The pour over was made on a V60 and was lightly roasted which was a pleasant surprise. Service was friendly and quick. Probably the best coffee shop in Akron. read more

Making the rounds on coffee shops, the next stop on my list was Porchlight Coffee. I ordered a 16 oz iced vanilla latte. Price was cool at $5.50, which is what I typically expect to pay at most places. The latte was great - nice balance of the espresso with just the right amount of vanilla. Chef's kiss. 10/10 Ambiance: light, bright, spacious, with plants in the windows. I showed up two hours before close, and I was able to find a table near an outlet. Music has a bit of an indie folk vibe. I like that I see an ethnically diverse crowd. I was able to park in the lot next to the cafe. I appreciate that. First time here, won't be the last time. I definitely plan on arriving earlier than later so I can get some good work time in. There also seems to be a meeting room with a dry erase board, where folks can gather and close the doors. I don't do meetings but if I did, this is good to know. Caveat: this cafe has more of a "community gathering" vibe than a "work from home" vibe so unless you are sitting at a table near the walls, you won't have access to an outlet. To maximize your visit, charge your laptop at home if you plan on working here for a few hours. Anyways, come on through. I know I will. read more

We stopped by for breakfast and coffee. Awesome place! Delicious breakfast sandwiches. Very happy we came here.

Stopped in to grab some coffee and food after our workout and I love every time we come in the place is decorated so nicely. The baristas are so friendly and helpful as well when it comes to my fiancées gluten sensitivity. The food is absolutely delicious and I highly recommend stopping in for a quick cup of coffee and a snack. read more

A brand new coffee place in Akron with long roots in the Akron coffee scene. In a fabulous looking space and meeting a niche in the Akron coffee scene Porchlight Coffee is serving up some excellent coffee and service. Menu. The menu is intentionally minimal focusing on a classic coffee menu. Porchlight serves coffee from One Line Coffee roasters out of Columbus that is responsibly sourced. Their tea comes from The Tea Dude in Medina, Ohio and is excellent. Currently they have bagels from the best bread company in Ohio, Brimfield Bread Oven. Equipment. Rancilio Espresso machine, Mazzer grinders, and Fetco coffee brewer. Decor. Minimalist coffee shop decor. Simple wooden furniture, classic white subway tiles on the bar and the wall behind the bar, ornate ceiling, beautiful tan crafted benches, and wooden bar countertop. An assortment of beautiful local art is hung sparingly on the walls featuring several local artists. Bios of each artists and a blurb about their work hang with their art. Hip music fills the space with a cool, relaxing vibe. There is a meeting space that has a whiteboard and tv and seats about 8-10 people. An assortment of seating meets the need for just about any person or group. Leather chairs and benches accommodate the small to larger groups. There are tables for four and six. Porchlight Coffee is serious about coffee and so you will always get a coffee that is meticulously prepared and tastes great. I can see myself relaxing by myself or friends and enjoying great coffee. read more

I mean it when I say that this was one of the best coffees I've ever had...maybe even the best! I got an iced oat latte with Akron honey, and it way beyond delicious. The space is clean, giant, and beautiful. Lots of study space including private meeting spaces! Come for the coffee, stay for the nicest owners and barista ever. This place rules! read more

Just off of downtown Akron and in a very unassuming area sits this gem of a coffee shop. There is free parking in a lot to the right of the building. Once inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and we were greeted by a very friendly and knowledgeable barista. I ordered the cafe miel (a latte with local Akron honey and cinnamon) with oat milk and my husband ordered the rose latte. We chose to stay in and sit a while and our drinks came in cozy mugs. Also ordered the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious! Brought right to us at our table, it included souffléd egg, bacon, arugula, and a lovely Dijon sauce. Everything was great (I am still dreaming about that cafe miel) and we so support the mission of the business. Thank you, Porchlight! read more

The inside is very spacious. It's a good place to study or a first date location. The service is also amazing (all the staff members are super kind and caring). My friend and I ended up splitting the breakfast sandwich, grilled cheese (it was so good I forgot to take the picture), and a side of seasoned potatoes. The breakfast sandwich was pretty good, but I wasn't the biggest fan since I didn't like the sauce they use as much. The grilled cheese was to die for (highly recommend this to everyone). The potato's were also crispy, and the seasoning was good but slightly overwhelming. Coffee is also top notch (highly recommend). It's relatively cheap for how much food you get, but the coffee is fairly priced. Overall, great experience and I would recommend. read more

I cannot recommend Porchlight enough! I have become a frequent flyer-- no seriously-- twice a dad visits. I love the convenience of their online ordering in the morning and their great cafe space for lunch. There is no wrong answer when it comes to their variety of flavors for your lattes. Truly a skillfully crafted coffee menu along with flavor-packed food options. My absolute favorite menu item is their harvest Cobb salad. I CAN'T GET ENOUGH! Dried cranberries, grilled chicken, feta (I think), walnuts, roasted squash, topped with the to-die-for maple vinaigrette on a bed of lettuce. Seriously, there is NO reason NOT to go to Porchlight. Cheers! read more
