Last week marked one year since Lori Tilden-Geiger and her husband DeLynn opened their doors at The Grounded Coffee House at The Depot in Akron.

Inspired by her experience while serving community members at the local drug store as her first job in high school, Geiger says the opening of the cafe has been a dream come true. 

 

 

Currently open Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m , the Geiger's run the store as a team of two. As time goes on and hours at the Cafe are extended, Geiger said more employees may be added in the future. 

 

Although the Geiger's have started their coffee shop at their current location, the plan is for The Grounded Coffee House at The Depot to relocate to the former Akron train depot. With Akron's recent nomination to be on the national register of historic places pending on the federal level, Geiger says once things become official, the coffee shop can start transitioning to the next step.
