the Spot in Akron, Iowa is a northwest Iowa treat

The Spot Espresso Bar and Cafe is THE spot to go for a treat in Akron, Iowa. I got to stop by the Spot in September, and I'm excited to spread the word about it! Here's what you should know about the Spot next time you're going to or through Akron:

Where is the Spot

The Spot Espresso Bar and Cafe is located at 351 Highway 12 in Akron, Iowa. It is right across the street from the Akron City Park where community events like the Great Akron Scarecrow Festival is held ,and shares a building with Rise Fitness. There is a large lot with free parking for customers at Rise Fitness and the Spot.


Drinks at the Spot Espresso Bar and Cafe

As you might guess from the name, the Spot Espresso Bar and Cafe has an extensive menu of espresso-based drinks, but also other coffee and tea drinks, smoothies, and energy drinks. I had a mocha frappe and also tried a sample of their cold brew coffee with foam, and they were both well-made, but very different. If you have a sweet tooth like me, I definitely recommend the frappe, which was very sweet and cold and flavorful. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, you will love their cold brew!
I also ordered strawberry smoothies for my daughters, and I tried a sip and thought that was delicious too. My girls definitely agreed! You can see their full drink menu on their website, and watch their social media for their seasonal flavors.

Food at the Spot Espresso Bar and Cafe

The Spot also has an extensive menu of sandwiches, plus a nice assortment of the pastry type fare you expect at coffee shops. It wasn't a mealtime when we stopped by, so we decided to just try their chocolate chip cookies, which were nearly as big as my face and which tasted delicious.
