Margaret's 1440 Franklin Ave Salem, Ohio 44460 Margaret's After several weeks of being off due to other commitments, the Java Highway called out to us. This past weekend our journey landed us at Margaret's in Salem, Ohio. We heard about them recently opening a few months ago and wanted to give it some time for them to get settled in.  There is some construction going on, but don't let that stop you from visiting Margaret's. Their parking lot is quite generous with plenty of spaces.  The first thing we noticed is that they recently opened a drive thru, which makes it quite convenient for those that don't want to go inside. Walking through the doors of Margaret's we were met with two employees that were so kind and helpful. Since this was our first time visiting they gave us some suggestions, and wait until you hear what we decided on.  Bea ordered an Iced Honey Bear Latte with Oat Milk. It was good, but the cinnamon overpowered the honey. When we come back an...

Yada Yada Coffee 1884 Front Street Cuyahoga Falls, OH 44221 Yada Yada Coffee We discovered Yada Yada Coffee Co. while visiting a local brewery in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio called Missing Mountain Brewing Co.  We added it to our Java Journey list of locations we needed to visit.  Yada Yada Coffee Co. is located right across the street from Sheraton Suites Akron Cuyahoga Falls  . There is plenty of parking for vehicles and motorcycles.  Walking through the front door it appeared to be very small with just a few tables by the window and a couch. Don't fret, there is an entrance that opens up to a more spacious seating area. The decor in the shop is like no other place. Not only did they have good coffee, but the artistic twist was different.  Since this was our first visit we were not sure what to order. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of their product. We both ended up getting an iced Black Agave Latte (espresso, milk, and black Agave syrup). We also order...

Cellar Door Coffee Co. 8138 Water St. Garrettsvillle, OH 44231 Cellar Door Coffee Co. After a bit of revamping and gathering our thoughts, we ventured back out on the Java Highway. This week we found ourselves at Cellar Door Coffee Co. in Garrettsville, Ohio.  This was our first time visiting this location. We did check out their website prior to arriving to try and get an idea of what they had to offer. We will do research on locations prior to our arrival. Cellar Door Coffee Co. had quite a few items to choose from, including food, bakery, drinks and even ice cream. Their ice cream comes from  Cockeye Creamery  a local creamery from Warren, Ohio. One important piece of information that needs to be mentioned is that Cellar Door Coffee Co. has prices that are reasonable.  The coffee shop is quite busy and has a constant flow of people. Be patient. There is plenty of seating so don't worry about not having a place to sit. The parking is generous and you shouldn't have...

  Tree City 135 E. Erie St. Ste 101 Kent, OH 44240 Tree City We took the weekend off, but wanted to make sure that you got a new blog from us this week. Tree City was a location we visited last weekend. It was quite a busy location and things were a bit hectic when we were there. Don't fret they do have many tables for seating. They had quite a few items on their food and drink menu. Their Spring menu had many options for those that may be undecided. We asked the employee a few questions on their menu and unfortunately he couldn't answer. His response was "this is my first day back and I'm not sure what everything is." So we just went with the first things that jumped out at us. Bea ordered a iced Chubby Bunny Latte (marshmallow, toffee nut and white chocolate) and John ordered a hot Spring Fling (lavender, blueberry and vanilla). On our journey, we visited several locations and this was the only one to have wine for purchase.  Tree City is located downtown Kent, ...

Nova Coffee Co. 112 N. Park Ave Warren, OH 44483 Nova Coffee Co.   Saturday morning we got ourselves up, got dressed and made our way into Warren, Ohio to visit a coffee shop, per two recommendations. The location we stopped at this past weekend was right in the heart of Warren. Nova Coffee Co. is located in the square. We were fortunate to find a parking spot close to the shop. During the work week we could imagine how difficult it might be to find any kind of parking. We didn't see any public parking locations, not to say there isn't any. The parking spots can accommodate motorcycle parking.  First, walking into the coffee shop we were met with a crowd of people. This is a busy location with limited seating. There was no place for us to sit, so we decided with it being a gorgeous day that we would take a walk around the square. It gave us a good view of the center of town.  Since both of us had never been there we were able to speak with an employee. She was able t...

  KT's Coffee Talk 218 N. Main St. Hubbard , OH 44425 Friends of ours shared some exciting news with us. A new coffee shop was opening up in Hubbard, Ohio at the beginning of March. We had actually talked about visiting the shop for their grand opening, but we changed our plans as we wanted to be fair and allow them a few weeks to work out any kinks. It was well worth the wait.  The coffee shop is located right on N. Main St. with parking on the side of the building, between Woodland Cellars and Sigaro Cigar Lounge . Woodland Cellars is located behind KT's Coffee Talk. The parking lot is motorcycle friendly. KT's Coffee Talk is a small, intimate coffee shop with limited seating. They have  several options with a paltry amount of signature drinks. But don't let that stop you from indulging yourself. John and Bea ordered a medium iced chocolate covered strawberry latte (Strawberry, chocolate sauce). What did we think, you ask? We both agree that it was a chocolate covere...
