I have watched this place grow and evolve, always offering something to come hang out for; I can honestly say this is the place I spend most of my weekends. The culture here is inviting, fun and filled with good people, good music and fun games. It’s a gem that shines in the area and I can’t wait to see this place see the attention it deserves.

I really enjoyed my meal! It was refreshing and healthy! It was nice to be able to get a cold coffee drink and take it over to the Linda Theater (next door)! There's more to this place than just a restaurant. There's a lot of room to hold parties, business meetings, concerts, shows, and arcade gaming. I expect great things for Cafe Rewind in the future! There's parking spots out front and more than enough spaces in the back.

Of all my reviews this is probably my favorite. I live right by this place and it is definitely the coolest place by us in my opinion. First the design. The main them is retro gaming. It has a lot of really cool artwork in and out. There are many various sectoral I’ve pieces inside such as swords posters and cool lights. Also I was told by one of the staff that the owner did a lot of the art themselves. The food is amazing they have ramen and sandwiches. The ramen is very delicious and the ingredients seem very fresh. They have a good variety of both though they do not have a choice in noodles. They only have the more puffy doughy noodles though. The sandwich’s are amazing, I’m talking moaning while you eat good. They also always have good tea which I appreciate. Finally if you are a retro gamer this is the place for you. They have arcade machines and three computers set up to play a whole catalog of retro games. All the systems are free to play at no extra charge. they also have a pool table which I usually come for that is themed red with my favorite light. It’s a great place that I very much recommend. I’m enjoying having the place to myself when I go but also can’t wait for it to get popular because it definitely will.

I was so excited to try this new place. I was not disappointed. It smells amazing as soon as you walk in. I do wish they had soda. I’m not a big fan of tea or coffee with my meal. I will be ordering again.

have been waiting for this place to open!! super cool venue space, free play arcade & pool table as well as a good variety of different food options. have been back a few times since the grand opening, the sweet heat sandwich and tropical green iced tea were very tasty, very different compared to anything else in akron would highly recommend!

This spot is a great addition to the Goodyear Heights neighborhood. It's got good food, cool decor & fun video games to play for free. I look forward to seeing some entertainment there in the future, such as live music or art shows. If you're in the area or live in the area, stop in to try the food or play some old games.

So fun! Great lookin' sandwiches and the BBQ pork belly is amazing! Haven't tried the ramen yet, I was still on a full lunch when I visited. Next time, though! Update to follow. Update! 03/22/24 - Been back a few more times now and have tried a few ramen bowls [I really love The Moon Beam! Just add a lil soy sauce and salt]. The Roast Beast is really good and that bread is O-M-G good 👍 We played Final Fight on the arcade and Connect 4 at our table while we waited on our food. We've gone weekdays and a Friday evening at 5 and pretty much had the whole place to ourselves. Maybe people come in a lil later and I hope so because this place deserves the love! The waitstaff said they plan on expanding events a bit in the near future! Added more pics of food. Update! 02/21/25 - We went on a Wednesday evening and the place was closed with a sign outside that said they were only open for events. Sad they can't keep open daily for the food bc it's so good!

This is an incredible new treasure in our neighborhood! That food is just amazing as is the tea. Chimera Raman bowl is a hands down winner and the brisket is perfection. Can't wait to bring friends back here. So fun! Arcade, atmosphere and food a repeat for sure!!

It wasn’t what I expected from the street. Thinking it was your normal type of cafe or coffee shop. Background music is heavy metal, it’s great for gamers. Plays or 80’s movies in the TV. Staff is friendly and helpful. I have an allergy to bell peppers and they left out the sweet peppers to be safe. The Ramen was soooo good. I got the High Noon and my mother got the White Night. The cold black tea is very good. Will definitely try it again.
