Cafe Ah-Roma

Staff is friendly and remember you. The breakfast sandwiches are the best I’ve ever had.

This place is great for a quick sandwich and coffee beverage. I real like their egg salad sandwiches or wraps. They are pretty flexible and also have Greta catering services.

Coffee was very hot, but weak. Cranberry orange muffin was delish! Feels like an older student center turned into coffee/​sandwich place. Plenty of places to sit, easy parking.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been in, but I found the coffee to just be ok and the prices a bit high. I was a little disappointed as this was a favorite place of mine in high school. I’ll have to give it another try next time I’m in town and see if things have changed.

Weak coffee. Had bagel and it was greasy. Place was a little dirty. Not bad prices though.

Great local café! Quieter and cheaper than Starbucks. Better food options too… great sandwich and soup/​salad combos for lunch!

Great place to stop and relax. My boyfriend and I stop here in between class and work when we have the chance. Nice to just to sit and chat with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. The drinks have always been great, the food on the other hand– not the best. Always nice to have a local coffee shop around instead of the hustle and bustle of a chain store!

Used to enjoy this place. Gone way down hill based on today’s visit. Way over priced, food has to be redone as it was wrong, tasted bad and ice tea was very old. Plus, people behind the counter were making jokes to each other about Ebola while people are trying to eat. Probably not coming back.

It’s a cool fall day, So I wanted a hot cup of coffee. I got their French apple flavored coffee for the day and It was actually surprisingly good.

I’ve driven by this place many times and yesterday a friend pointed it out to me. I got an egg & bagel sandwich made with extra love and a vanilla latte. My no foam latte was made correctly (most places just add less foam) and it was –dare I say it– tastier than my usual Starbucks latte; not as strong, but tasted better.
Parking is limited on Bridge, but you can swing around into the Giant Eagle parking lot.

I really like this place. The vegan bar was delicious. I detected cranberries, oatmeal and cinnamon in the bar, among other ingredients. I also had a caramel-​vanilla steamer which was tasty.
The best reason to come here is the people though. The three individuals who were here when I came to Café-​Ah-​Roma were Brian, Matt and Sarah. They were all very kind and willing to help me when I got lost and missed my Hebrew tutoring session.

This is an excellent small local business. The coffee is excellent, the location in downtown Berea is perfect for a great little coffee shop like this. For a coffee shop the food is simple and delicious. I am from Berea originally, and happy to see a place that serves the community and be highly successful along the way!!!
Don’t skip this place if you are in Berea.

Café Ah Roma has become a Berea institution with an interesting mix of patrons. You will find everything from high schoolers to octogenarians here with a smattering of BW faculty and students.
The food is above average for the money (it would be hard to spend $ 10 for a meal) and a few items are consistently very good. Try the chicken salad either as a salad or as a sandwich or wrap. A half wrap is as much as I choose to eat and with a bag of the excellent Miss Vickie’s chips and a cup of coffee you are at about $ 6. The cranberry turkey wrap is also very good. If you want anything with roast beef, ask to see it first.
The coffee is Red Cedar and very good if not very strong.
If you sit outside, it is very easy to meet people and fall into conversation about nearly anything.
The wifi connection is faster than most.
All in all, good value and as pleasant an atmosphere as can be expected in what was originally built as a Marshall’s Drug store, morphed into Manhattan Bagel and then Café Ah Roma.

A decent coffee-​house, tucked away behind the Giant Eagle where it’s a little hard to find. Good place to grab a quick wrap for lunch, and a cup of the coffee-​of-​the day. If it’s summer, you can sit at the tables outside with the smokers.

This place is ok. It’s not somewhere that I would go out of my way to visit, especially since I reallyyyy like the option of being able to plug in my laptop. The coffee was super pricey, the food is decent, but the wait for everything is forever and a day.

Have enjoyed this place since it opened many years back.
Food is Generally good.
They changed coffee brands a few months ago, the present one is not nearly as good.
Service usually good but many new staff now and old manager Brian has moved to a new location resulting in less friendly and warm service.
Now they often don’t get the order right, don’t seem to care much, and don’t know their customers.
Disappointing changes

I meet a co-​worker here for one of my jobs about once a month. All of the employees have always been friendly and assisted me in what I have a taste for. There is usually a decent lunch crowd in there, however I’ve never had to wait in line, or wait long for my drink. The food looks and smells good, however I have never gone for a meal.
I’ve always thought of it to be comfortable, but I also just like Berea a lot, especially their little downtown area. The mass of windows on two walls is a plus, especially if it’s one of those days where we see sunlight.

Most of my friends in college worked here at some point. If it wasn’t for that, I would not go here. I think a lot of people have a dream of opening a coffee shop. People like to think about how chill and cool they would make it. (Think Bela Dubby or shit. Starbucks). But Café Ah-​Roma looks like a cafeteria. I don’t know how they screwed it up, but they did. I never felt like I was hanging out in a cool coffee shop here. It sort of reminded me of B-W’s Cyber Café.
