NOMZ - Restaurant & Bar - Akron, OH

Shi was awesome as a bartender. Great happy hour. I had the Mexican 75 and Sparkling Paloma. Excellent and price was only $7 for each. My husband enjoyed the local bourbon. Didn’t eat there. They have happy hour food.

Trying this Restaurant NOMZ for the first time and ordering the Vegan BLT on gluten free bread was a major disappointment and for the price. The bacon was nil, one sliver. We ask the preparer if we were ordering a regular BLT how many slices would they have used, the responses was 3. Being that it was made of rice paper, it should have been an abundance of vegan bacon. We may as well have ordered a lettuce sandwich with an added price of $4 for a sliver of avocado. The high tables we not clean, the preparer was apologetic but the bar waitress looked passed us and didn't ask if we wanted anything. We will not go back to this place. We left hungry.

Nomz is such a gem in Akron! I was so impressed by their plentiful vegan menu options—so many delicious choices that it was actually hard to decide. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I also loved that after eating, you can wander around and browse the surrounding shops filled with unique items from local artists. It adds such a creative, community feel to the visit. The location itself is really nice too—perfect for grabbing a bite and then exploring a bit. Highly recommend Nomz if you’re looking for great food, warm service, and a cool spot to spend some time!

We came from out of town for a sporting event and stopped here for lunch. First, the whole environment is super cool; shops, food, drinks, and snacks. Second, Nomz was delicious! I ordered 3 different tacos, it’s so hard to pick my favorite! For me, it’s a tie between the chipotle chicken and the broccoli black bean. Do yourself a favor, stop in for some great food!

I LOVE this place. I’ve invited quite a few people for their first times and they have come back after. The drinks are always great, there’s a lot of food options and I love that there’s vegan options. I always recommend this place to clients while in the area as well.

The vegan bacon is plastic. Can’t even eat the sandwich and they only gave me two slithers ridiculous amount of price for the food and the food is trash. The fruit and yogurt was watered down and terrible. Never have I ever experienced this before. You can actually see me trying to stretch the bacon and you can see through it. Eww

I had a very tasty gluten free grilled cheese! My smoothie was just alright, and my husband's cappuccino was a little weak. Overall, very good though! Atmosphere was chill and service was quick. We'll be back.

I have been to NOMZ twice now and both times the food was amazing! It’s in this super cute market district area with other vendors/shops and it right next to a few other restaurants. Everything is made fresh to order and I believe it is also locally sourced. The other great part is their bar! We came on a Saturday and were luckily able to find seats (normally packed). Cheyenne was our bartender, and she was nothing but nice, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My sister and I ordered the blueberry lemonade, which was amazing! I highly recommend it! We also ended up having a round of mimosas because they were buy one get one free. I ordered the egg and cheese croissant breakfast sandwich with bacon ($14) and It was probably the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had, hands down. My sister ended up ordering the baked Brie, which she loved! All in all - NOMZ has a great atmosphere, amazing food, top notch workers and overall just a fun vibe. I highly recommend it if you haven’t been yet! I recommend going when it’s nice out so you can also walk around.

One of the best sandwich places in Akron. I remember getting lunch here often when I worked downtown, and having their special Thanksgiving sandwich again after all these years was amazing. They're still up to the hype! Shop around the marketplace after a hearty meal and explore all the vendors inside! This Turkey Mostado has an amazing, crunchy buttery toast with mashed potato, cranberry sauce, turkey and arugula. Definitely a must try before it goes out of season!

Went to Nomz for a Saturday morning breakfast and 40 minutes later we still had not yet received our breakfast. When we approached staff we were told "it'll be 15 more minutes, I just clocked in." As cool as the environment is here, we will not be returning.

While I appreciate Nomz having a wide vegetarian/vegan selection, it just wasn't a great experience dining here. The wait was over the 45 minutes they quoted us, and the food came out lukewarm/cold when it did. The food was lacking flavor, and both our sandwiches were very dry. We put some of their Dill Dip on both, which did help and that dip is delicious. Overall, we wanted to like Nomz as it is right by the maker space market that was very cool and convenient. The place was clean as well, but we're hoping for some improvements before going back.

Love the concept, but the prices are bit high for what you get. I got the vegan chipotle sandwich. It was good but not very spicy for being a chipotle sandwich. It came on a hamburger bun with lettuce and pickles. The vegan chicken didn't have a chicken flavor. It appeared to be some type of wheat gluten. For $15 sandwich and adding a small bag of chips would have made it more reasonable. When I ordered my sandwich to go they charged me state taxes. Confused by the extra cost I asked the person taking my order about it but she had no clue and told me it was only a dollar. FYI you shouldn't be charged taxes on to go food. No purchase of beer or sodas so no tax. The place is in a smaller market warehouse setting with some other shops. Looks like they may host summer events.

Sunday they are not open until 5pm. Their sign on the door, Apple, and Yelp all say open until 5. But I walk in and the lady up front was crabby and short saying "well I know Google is right"

This is an honest review. Trying NOMZ for the first time and ordering the Vegan BLT on gluten free bread was a major disappointment and for the price. The bacon was nil, rubbery with one sliver. We ask the preparer if we were ordering a regular BLT how many slices would they have used, the response was 3. Being that it was made of rice paper, it should have been an abundance of vegan bacon. We may as well ordered a lettuce sandwich with an added price of $4 for a sliver of avocado. We left hungry.

Just ok. Stopped by Nomz while staying at the Courtyard Marriott Downtown Akron. Unfortunately, it was just okay. The space itself has a nice vibe, but the experience overall was disappointing. Service was lacking -- slow and not very attentive. I ordered a macchiato, which was listed as 12 oz on the menu, but what I got was a huge 16-20 oz cup filled mostly with milk. It completely missed the mark if you're looking for a traditional macchiato. For food, I tried the Citradog chicken sandwich. Loved the idea behind it -- the ingredients sounded great -- but the execution wasn't there. The chicken was dry and not seasoned well at all. Nomz felt more like a place of convenience than a destination. I wouldn't go back.

Overpriced, poor food, poor service. There were 6 of us and the sandwiches came out one at a time after waiting 30 minutes. 5-8 minutes in between. Roast beef was shoe leather with sauces glopped on it. Everyone's food was absolutely disgusting. Most of it thrown in the trash. One person in the kitchen. Poor execution in every way possible. It appears that this has been a constant problem. Definitely avoid this place.

Bartender recommended smoking my old fashion! It was so fun!!! The kitchen was out of a few things and the chef came out and made us a veggie sandwich which was so good!!! We cannot wait to go back and have the broccoli sandwich and bean tacos! Fun environment and beautiful view!!!

Great gluten free egg sandwich. They had a lot of people there on Sunday afternoon. It's in a shared food spot.

This is not a place that I would recommend when in Akron. The service was lack luster. They were just going through the motion of doing their jobs. The food was not very good. The atmosphere and the shops were just ok. Not a memorable experience or one I like to repeat.

Food was great but 47 minutes to receive it is unacceptable. We saw 4 other costumers complain about it, while we were there

update: I appreciated the appropriate good response from what appears to be the business owner or manager of this restaurant so I updated my rating. Way overpriced at this entire facility. Our chipotle chicken tacos were so dry and bland. There was very little in them. What appeared to be in them was some chicken cheese sprinkle, raw onion, and a dash of cilantro, not even enough to really add any flavor. They were supposed to come with a sauce, but that didn't happen. They were so dry and unenjoyable. We arrived at the facility at 8:40 PM. We had no idea that they close at 9 PM. When we ordered, they asked us would we like it for there or to go? We decided to eat there and have it fresh and warm they indicated that they were closing at nine we would've gotten it to go. The cashier person for the entire facility which I believe is not related to this restaurant. Resturant came over to tell us that they were closing when we were looking around at some of the items for sale. When our food came out, I apologized and said sorry we would've gotten this to go had we realized you were closing at 9 PM. She then said oh would you like me to take it away and put it into go packages, absolutely not. I already paid to sit here and eat it and you've already brought it out. Why would I do that? We should've been told that the place was closing at the time we ordered.

Highly recommend they went above and beyond making me an off menu dish of delicious veggies for me on the spot! Great food and they're super nice too!

The menu is great. Not everything was available due to delivery schedule-Ok with me. My sandwich -grilled cheese-was delicious. Came un-cut-eh not a big deal it was too far to walk back and request cutting (we sat outside-where tables were dirty next to the table with the cleaning supplies someone left outside). Soup was not great. I would Expect that anything I get in a boutiquey restaurant will knock my socks off. My chicken tortilla soup I make from leftovers is way better. Would not order again. Just not sure worth the price to eat here again.

Wow! The options of food they had for us were amazing! We got two sandwiches and a salad and then their croissant sticks. They had it ready and made fast and have really big portions! This is a great place to come for a healthy meal and that will fill you up. Oh and they have tons of seating and a full bar!

45 minutes and still waiting and they're not even busy. Staff pretty clueless and unhelpful. Menu says gluten free bread available, but they don't have any. If you're thinking of eating here, don't Food finally arrives and it's cold

Across the street is a parking lot which was packed when we arrived around 5pm, however we managed to snag a spot. The space is like a cafeteria with the bar having separate seating. My boyfriend and I both got the black bean tacos, which he liked and I didn't. I'm not a fan of flour tortillas for tacos, there wasn't a lot of flavor, and they were cold. I feel like the menu leans more towards the natural raw vegan taste, which just isn't for me when it comes to tacos. We didn't wait long for our order and the women working there were very nice.

Pleasantly surprised absolutely delicious! Staff warm, friendly and welcoming. I will most certainly be coming back. Cozy graT for day trips.

Came here on a night out with the girlfriend on my vacation to the Cleveland area. I was highly referred to check this place out. My only issue here was that parking was a bit of a hassle, especially since the rest of the strip is busy. We both placed our order and we knew it was going to be a while, so we had a great opportunity to explore the gift store within the place which was freaking outstanding. A great way to kill plenty of time and feel like a tourist in the area. Food was outstanding! Staff was friendly and courteous! I'd love to come back here when more of this place opens up because this place is a hidden gem of Akron!

Charging .75cents extra tomato's .50 cent for onions and then don't put any one is crazy af!!! That avocado toast is delicious if they lay off the everything bagel seasoning omg! Pretty expensive for sandwiches served without sides and adding toppings they clearly charged you for but won't get!! Akron gotta do better these so called restaurants trash but want tips for carry out and gratuity for so many sandwiches door dashed smh

Took my granddaughter for lunch. The service was extremely slow though there were only 4 people there. Our lunches were served about 8 minutes apart instead of together. The food was lukewarm and lacked any flavor. The price was totally unreasonable. Will not be back.

While I hate to diss a place with vegan options, my sandwich was $19 (I added the *bacon which was a pro tip - here's an even pro-er tip, the vegan bacon tasted like burnt matter) and zero sides. Wow - isn't this Akron? The same sandwich in NYC or LA would be more delicious and include some sides (and prob $15 or less). It was "good" for an $8 sandwich, but nothing memorable. Won't be back.

Great lunch spot located inside of Northside Market! We stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday and although there weren't too many people sitting down, there were guests who came into and out of the market. It was a busy place! I ordered the Turkey Mustrado and an iced Cereal Milk Latte and it was such a wonderful decision! The sandwich was so crunchy and the ingredients paired so well together. The Brie and cranberry were a perfect pair and Hartville potato chips added a nice salty flavor to the main focus. The iced Cereal Milk Latte was what really caught my eye on the menu. The milk is made from soaked Fruit Loops, which I thought was so neat and different. The Fruit Loops flavor is light and subtle, but it was present! I loved the 2 items I've tried and I can't wait to go back to Nomz!

The service is ass this place sucks we have be waitingg over a hours They have so much sad

First time dining here. Ordered a gluten free sandwich, and my partner ordered two tacos. Twenty minutes after ordering, a cook came out to let us know that he could not find the correct protein for the tacos. They offered to make a different one, and we agreed, we're flexible. Food comes out, it's delicious. Cocktails are excellent. I'm taking the last bite of my sandwich when the cashier comes up to me frantically and lets me know that there are new cooks in the kitchen and they missed the gluten free modifier on the ticket. She was very apologetic, gave us a refund, and asked if I needed medical attention. I promptly sped off to the bathroom to attempt to exorcize the allergens from my system. Not a great first experience. I appreciated the customer service after the fact, but I will not be returning. Would not recommend for those with serious dietary restrictions or allergies.

Well, if anyone ever asks me where to get the best nachos in Ohio, I now have an answer. So much freshness and quality. Authentic Mexican flavors with balance and perfect pinch of guilty pleasure. Loved them, can't wait to have them again. Very elevated and fun.

Service here comes and goes... Depends on time of day and THE DAY. Been here a few times, not impressed.

Really excited about this. But really understaffed. Took over 45 mins for two sandwiches. And they weren't really busy. This could be an amazing spot for vegan options....but do better.

Honestly, not a fan, but I might've caught them on a bad night. I had the Turkey Mostarda and I don't know if I just picked a sandwich I wasn't a fan of, but it made me very nauseous and sick. The staff here were very nice, but extremely overwhelmed with a private event. I was told to place my order and shop around then return for my meal. So I did as I was told only to return and find out that my sandwich wasn't done or was lost in the mix or the chaos. I feel as if this could have been organized better, but the staff member I worked with was very apologetic and helped me get my sandwich. Not sure if I will be back, but definitely think they should figure out how to balance the food service with a large party.

I really like this little spot located in the Northside Market! If you've never been, this market has a great central area to enjoy food, relax, study, or even play games with friends. And surrounding the dining area are a couple different shops and spots to eat and drink. I really love the variety that Nomz offers. Great options for vegans and vegetarians as well. I haven't absolutely loved everything I've gotten here but I appreciate the uniqueness of each dish and the quality of their ingredients. Today, I tried their seasonal pancakes with banana and chocolate chip. It was absolutely delicious so Nomz gets 5 stars in my book. They also have a bar area with coffees, iced beverages, and more. Definitely check it out!

Beer + cocktails = fantastic Quality of the ingredients = above par Portions = generous Instagram page/profile = will always make you want to come in and eat or drink what they're serving up. Cool spot! Not your normal restaurant. It has more of a Reading Terminal Market feel where there's more than one restaurant in a shopping center. You can go just for Nomz or to try out another place in the market. There's also some clothing stores and shopping you can check out.

I would like to start off by saying I love the location of this place. It has plenty of space for sitting and a couple of shops to walked around in while you wait for the food. The staff was also really friendly. The food on the other hand, was not that good. The regular food might be good, but the vegetarian and vegan options were so bland. They definitely need to had more flavor. I ended up getting the Vegan Chipotle Chicken. It mainly lacked flavor, but they were also stingy with the sauce. I also got the queso and salsas. The tortilla chips were average, the salsa was pretty good (wish it was a little spicier), and the queso was below average. It was cold with no taste. Overall, if you are a vegan or vegetarian, I would not recommend this location. However, if you aren't, I have heard a lot of good things!!

Such a such vibey place. Food tasted great. Everyone was super friendly. I'm def coming back

If you need something semi-quick and are close by it's okay but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. The girl that took our orders clearly wanted to be anywhere but there. They were out of so much stuff, none of us were able to order our first choice. Breakfast sandwich was greasy and the salad was dry.

An interesting development complex with a wide array of food and shop options. It's a smaller, communal food hall primarily catered towards University of Akron students (Go Zips!) who reside above. That features a smoothie bar, an alchoholic bar, a creamery/churro stand, then some jewelry kind of place. It is a really unique place to visit for an overnight trip. Due to Luigi's, which I hear constantly about and their "cheese salad," only accepting cash decided to go here since it's next door. I got the Ckikka chicken sandwich( a small breast fillet on a brioche bun toasted) which was kinda dry. The bun tasted exquisite. The lettuce was very crunchy. Sliced tomatoes were perfect, too. Should've explored a BLT or something like that. So made to order but still was ready in less than 10 minutes.

I always love the location I attended the hop holiday event the people who work here are always helpful and willing to assist and make your food with the upmost care! Their salads are what I crave the most especially the Mediterranean mmmm with the lemon wedge and dressing just the right tartness I want some right now haha! As I said in the hop review they also sell kombucha which is super tasty and tart and just so bubbly ! Can't wait to visit again thanks for always having great service and offering that military discount!

Delicious vegan food! Need I say more? They have so many options for vegans. I've only been there once so far but I will definitely be going back. Must try all the vegan options.

We had theater tickets at 1:30 and thought that 11:30 would be plenty of time to allow for lunch for a party of 5. Not so much. The restaurant was only half full, but a large table of about 12 or so people ordered just ahead of us. Apparently, they can only cook one meal at a time. We saw that earlier table get served one meal at a time every 5 to 10 minutes. We ordered at 11:40, and then at 1:00, we had to give up and leave without our food. They were still bringing meals out to the first table while the first served had long since finished their meal. At least they refunded what we paid without any arguments, but I had the impression the staff was used to customers walking out. This is not the fault of the very few people on staff but the management and organization of the restaurant. If you can only cook one meal in 5 to 10 minutes, I don't know how you can handle any lunch rush. The menu looked great, and the vegetarians in our party had been looking forward to all the choices. Extremely disappointed. It might be OK if the place is empty, but we won't be back to find out.

This place is tucked in an alcove or its building. Come inside first I got the bbq sandwich with jackfruit. It was exceptional. All the ingredients were fresh and the sandwich had great flavor. It comes with a little bag of chips and the have drinks to buy Don't expect a high end experience. It's a tiny place with shared public seating. The five stars don't mean high end. It means high flavor. I loved it and will likely come back during my visit

Nomz is a hidden gem. Close to the towpath trail and like coming here after morning runs to get the farmer's breakfast. Best coffee in town which keeps bringing me back.

Service was slow - waited 45 minutes for an egg croissant with no one in line in front of me.

NOMZ..... if you're going to go, make sure Shelby serves you!! She makes the best Bloody Mary. I asked her for a spicy one, and asked her to add horseradish. It was delicious!! I never drink more than one drink, but I ordered a second! Give this blue-haired wonder a raise!!

We have been here twice over the past two years and every time it is perfect! The food is fast, and yummy! Loved the seasonal cocktails! Fun little stores located in the same building which makes it perfect for shopping and eating all in one!

Wow! What a gem. Great service and atmosphere, not to mention amazing food. You order at the counter and they deliver it to your table. The menu is bigger than I expected. They have breakfast and a nice selection of vegan dishes. My daughter and I got the first two chicken sandwiches on the menu and split them. The first one had Muenster cheese and was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The other one had balsamic on it and it was also amazing. If I could, I'd come here once a week and try something new each time. So, so good.

An excellent place to pop in for lunch! Due to supply shortages, they were out of some key ingredients which limited their menu options, but the food we chose was excellent! The Tuscan Chicken sandwich and Vegan Pesto Chicken sandwich kept us full all day long. The pasta salad and potato salad were a bit bland, but overall, it was an excellent dining experience! Plus, the coffee and smoothie bar produced a delicious Green Goddess smoothie and a cappuccino with soy milk and lavender flavoring. When you're all done, there are a lot of local goodies to peruse on your way out!

This used to be one of my favorite places in Akron where I could grab a great Vegan sandwich and have a nice cocktail! Unfortunately this morning I was disappointed! Place was empty at 10:30am which I thought was a little odd but it is a work day so no biggie! Ordered a Mimosa and my normal favorite, The Vegan Brioche with breakfast potatoes. The sandwich was skimpy and thrown together and the breakfast potatoes were cold and not fully cooked! Hopefully they were just having a bad day but I can say that since the new owners took over Nomz has not been the same :(

i really had no idea what to expect from a broccoli sandwich, but i figured i'd give it a try, and oh my god it was so good. i loved this sandwich so much.

At first a bit confused with the open market style where to order etc but wow the food and service was amazing. I had the croissant with egg and vegan bacon and might be the best breakfast Sammy ever and coffee from local Akron Coffee Roasters was delish. The only downside was price. Very expensive at almost $50 for two sandwiches and 2 coffees but the end product was amazing. Cheers
