Almost too much atmosphere. Busy decorations. But good food and service. Prices were very good also

The service was slow. We were the only two customers in the place, and yet it took quite a while to get our orders taken. The food was mostly mediocre, expect for my French toast, which was horrible. Overcooked on the outside and soggy on the inside. I did not eat it. I showed it to our waitress, who did apologize, but did not take it off of my bill. The atmosphere and decor was interesting, though very cluttered.

The website hours listed are incorrect or they may have had special hours on Mother’s Day. The door was open and music was loud but we were greeted by a “we’re closed”. Hope it was just a fluke and that’s not normal.

Great food, great service and friendly people. My first time there, you order your food and pay at the kiosk or with the cashier. I really enjoyed it and kids will to because they can paint while waiting on food

I’m putting a one star for service. When I walked in I was stunned at the atmosphere it’s soooo whimsical and I loved it and was so excited at my find. I was looking around in awe when I walked in. The lady that greeted me was not very nice. She expected me to know what to do. She was asking me if I was placing a to go order and wasn’t offering me to sit down. I said “I’m here to check this place out” and she didn’t offer me to sit down anywhere just said “Ok feel free to walk around” at this point I was lost because I wanted to be seated like a normal place. This is not a normal place I was confused. So then she pointed to a sign way above our heads and said “The sign explains everything you can order at the kiosk” —- instead of telling me how it all works since they are obviously not following normal standards. It just felt rude, and the excitement I felt at the atmosphere vanished and I left and will never come back. I put a one star for food because the service was so bad I didn’t get a chance to taste the food.

So I went to this place to meet my friend and his girlfriend, and sitting there I heard someone complaining about how long they were waiting, at least half an hour. Then next thing I know I hear their name was "X" (name removed for anonymity), but they had already served their food to another person named "X"! Needless to say, the guy was pretty upset! He started arguing and cussed out the person at the counter, asking for his money back and he said he would never come back and he and his wife left the place. (I don't know if he got his money back, it might have been no refunds.) So that was just after I placed my order, and I had to wait half an hour to forty-five minutes... for a simple breakfast sandwich. 3/5, would probably not go again anytime when they're busy because they serve to-go orders over sit-down orders and even then it's a pretty long wait. Sorry to say but needs better management and workers in general.

Had breakfast this morning and it was fantastic! The decor is fun, food was delicious and our waitress was great! The Big Boy Breakfast was a plus! Will definately swing by again when we visit Akron!

Prices are excellent--we spent only $20 total for coffee, a specialty latte, two breakfast sandwiches, a side of regular hashbrowns, and loaded hashbrowns (they come with bacon and sausage gravy). I loved that we could order and pay on the kiosk. The vibe is really cute inside! My only constructive criticism is that it seems like they should have numbers or something you can take to your table so it's easier for the waitstaff to find you when they bring out your order. Other than that, we loved this place and will definitely be back! Shoutout to the hashbrowns and the breakfast bagel--everything was really really good.

Awesome little breakfast spot! We've never been here and just loved the whole atmosphere! I took both kids and they got to paint before their food came, which was fantastic. They would probably say their favorite part was that they got to have french fries with their pancake dippers, haha! Highly recommend!

Awesome atmosphere, fair prices, generous portions. Had a breakfast quesadilla, watching my weight so I opted for turkey bacon and sausage, WOW that was good. Side order of gravy and bacon loaded hashbrowns because I cant be *too* healthy(it didnt stand a chance 🤤). Fiancee got a big boy platter that I was too full to help her finish after having not been able to finish my last slice of quesadilla. To drink she had gotten an iced strawberry cheesecake coffee with a double espresso which had the perfect balance of coffee to strawberry being able to still taste fresh espresso with a smooth sweet strawberry cream finish. For my beverage we had a Hot cinnamon toast crunch double espresso coffee having the same smooth balance of flavor that the strawberry cheesecake presented. If you're considering giving them a try, know what you're there for. A local coffee shop with great food, kind staff, and a fair price for what they offer. All with a relaxing artistic environment. What it is NOT is a McDonalds that'll have your order ready before you place it. Plan to spend a little time enjoying a good meal or a refreshing pitstop to-go. I know I'll be back for mimosas and smoothies on the patio this spring.

I tried to make a order one time they told me they are not taking nomore orders, I tried to give them another try I wanted 4 eggs they couldn't just let me pay for the other egg and told me I can't I have 4 I have to get 3. I am customer, customers needs should always should be cared for. Order from another place 4 eggs 🥚 eggs was not an issue!!

It's one of the coolest and most unique restaurants I've ever eaten in! If you love art, creativity, and a phenomenal burger, you have to stop by and check out this gem. This is an affordable spot to have breakfast, mimosas, or lunch and hang with the kids, or by yourself, and get creative.

Eclectic and wonderful. Place an order on their kiosk and they'll bring it to you in no time. Good coffee, great food. Got their bacon egg and cheese biscuit and loved every bite.

Other than the area, this place could be the next Central Perk from the series friends. The food was great. However, my wife did find a dark colored hair in her eggs. The only reason we did not send our food back is that she has dark hair, which could have been a possibility. The waitress was friendly and attendended to our needs. The ambiance is very nice, the decor is a bit too much, too busy for me. Too much decorating could spoil the presentation.

Food is fantastic and the staff even better! I'd HIGHLY recommend the biscuits and gravy. I will be back! Revised: They no longer have servers and you order from a kiosk at the front door, sit down and then they bring your food to you. I really did not enjoy that experience. The ordering system was not intuitive, I would have liked to have made some substitutions or asked some questions. The food was still good but I likely won't be back.

Very very good! My girlfriend and I both got cheeseburgers and fries. We both agreeed it was the best burger we’d ever had. I honestly felt like I was having and out of body experience— the burger was that good. The atmosphere was awesome as well. I highly recommend them!

Food quality has tanked. You’ll be hard pressed to find a worse breakfast in Akron. Last three orders had major items incorrect. This time I ordered an Asiago bagel with American. Got an extremely burnt everything bagel with a quarter sized piece of cheese on it. Tasted like licking an ash tray. Bacon was nearly raw. What really stinks is this place used to be amazing and I’d recommend it to everyone. Now they like to remind me of how bad the place is I recommended.

Terrible attitude of the staff. My friend wanted a quesadilla. Was told they can't because it was nearing close time and the kitchen wasn't gonna be happy with that order. Instead she could get waffles and chicken. This order took 45min to get done, her coffee drink wasn't brought to her until her food was and it was wrong. The waitress had the worst attitude and was shutting down everything early. Basically waving patrons away from their tables and out the doors. Whole situation was odd and we know it's a lot more work to make waffles and fried chicken than to make a darn quesadilla no matter what.
