Muggswigz Coffee & Tea — Restaurant in Akron

We came here as part of Akron's Drip Drive. This was our 14th stop so we had a lot to compare it to. On the plus side, when we walked in all the patrons either smiled or said hi to us, which was unexpected and nice.

On the minus side, there was really no selection of baked goods due to some sort of problem, the barista told us. It wasn't their fault, but it was still disappointing. But the WORST part was that the mocha was really, really bad. Like by far the worst we ever had. It tasted like chocolate milk made with water. There was really no point in telling the barista we weren't happy with it as we were really hungry since we didn't want one of the few items they had that weren't vegan and/or gluten-free and just wanted to go back home.

BTW we went to the one in Barberton and enjoyed both the mocha and the cinnamon...

i'd love to give this place another chance but unfortunately my first time was not stellar. i didn't realize we were entering shortly before the business closed and that's on us, we should've checked, but the employee taking care of us made it so obvious how much we were inconveniencing her by how she kept loudly sighing and slamming cups around. then when i ordered a biscotti she told us we'd have to take it to go because they close in 3 minutes, to which i then apologized for not paying attention to the time. i work in the industry so i understand how frustrating it is to have to take care of customers when you're trying to close but it was an honest mistake and we wouldn't have ordered if we knew. definitely did not leave a good taste in our mouths but the coffees were delicious even though they were...

This is just an update to my initial review. Every time I go in there I expect something to go wrong, because isn’t that what we all expect from a business we enjoy. That worry that something is going to go wrong eventually. Instead, I had the most delicious sandwich today and it made me realize that this place is just utterly and unapologetically fantastic. I’m probably moving to Cleveland soon and I feel like I’m probably gonna come down here some coffee, and a sandwich here and there.

If you’ve ever been to a proper rural coffee shop then you will like this place. It is the right balance of city choice and rural quality. And the espresso will last you without being so strong you’re heart blows up and creates new...
