My wife and I are always looking to support new locally owned businesses and restaurants here in Ward 8, and a friend recommended Little Blue Pastries and Cafe in the Merriman Valley. It’s right next to Sal’s Gelato in what I still call the Brueggers Bagel plaza at 1827 Merriman Rd. Melissa and Kevin Salmon are the owners , who had started their journey with a food truck and moved to their new location the Valley in July.
Little Blue Pastries specializes in scratch made small batch pastries, amazing breakfast sandwiches and crêpes. They also offer a display with goodies from local makers and bakers, including Akron Honey. They have expanded their dining room to include a meeting room and are open Wednesday through Friday 9:00 -3:30pm and Saturday and 9:00- 1:00 pm.
Everything on the menu looks delicious, and I’m certain I’ll be stopping by again soon. My only regret is that I missed the day with mini coconut cream pies. Stop by and welcome Melissa, Kevin and Little Blue Pastiries to our Ward 8 neighborhood!
