| - This is the Sybyl of coffee shops. One personality provides a nice selection of coffee and reated drinks and simple, delicious selection of sweets. The other proffers expensive and uninspired lunch fare.
Don't bother with lunch. $5.50 gets you gummy, store bought bread and cold cuts. The "tuna salad" was tinned tuna with a touch of mayo. Snore. You could make a better one at home. Or you could hit the Subway next door. No chips, no pickle, nada.
The coffee, however was fresh and high quality. My cafe au lait was great. My daughter's muffin was dense with a lot of flavor, as opposed to mere sweetness. My cookie was rich with the taste of brown sugar, vanilla and chocolate. They also have scones, bagles and biscotti.
They say that they bake their own muffins, scones and cookies daily. This is mostly true. They get the batter ready made from an Akron company, and bake a fresh new batch every few hours. So yeah, num! They were better than the cookies and muffins at Starbucks or Carabou.
Atmosphere-- eh not really. It's a small, mostly take out place. The owner and staff are really nice, and all their customers seem to be regulars.
I would stop in again before work to get a scone and a cuppa.
