For brunch I ordered the vegetable omelet. I assumed the vegetables or egg would be seasoned, but it literally tasted like someone just mixed boiled vegetables into the eggs. I chose to add cheese, but some bites didn’t have any, and other bites were overwhelmingly just cheese flavored. The cheese was not mixed into the egg well.
My partner had hashbrowns that were burnt at the bottom.
If ordering here, I recommend the toast. I enjoyed the mandarin jelly. The hot chocolate was also fine.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to time travel back to 1986 and pay gourmet prices for summer camp leftovers, look no further — Café In Stow has you covered.
Let’s start with the décor: the furniture is a lovely teal color, but looks like it was bought during a Reagan administration clearance sale.
The food? Imagine taking the blandest thing you’ve ever eaten, then stripping it of flavor, hope, and seasoning — and charging triple for it. If this had been a legitimate childhood Scouting camp experience I would have expected to earn a badge for “Survived This Entrée” when the plates were cleared.
The clientele created ambiance — by ambiance, i mean awkward stares straight out of a small-town thriller: everyone glaring at the brown man and other outsider . I wasn’t sure if I was dining or auditioning for a “Get Out” sequel.
The staff added to the mystery — vanishing almost immediately. My waitress took my order, disappeared like a magician, and was never seen again. Slowly the front of house staff all dropped off the radar as well. I started to wonder if the Rapture was real and happening in this very moment in small town Ohio.
In short: Café In Stow has teal furniture, beige food, and white energy. As much as I love Halloween, I was not a fan of the ghostly service, slasher-film camp’s food at couture prices, and being stared at like I would be the next victim. Save yourself, your stomach and your wallet from this horror- Get Out.

Went there at lunchtime with a friend and ordered their beer batter Fish and Chips, which was supposed to come with 2 pieces of fish, but I only got one little piece of fish. Secondly, they sold me a small antipasta salad for the price of a large $11.99. The salad literally had 7 black olives, 8 pieces of pepperoni, eighth of a cup of cheese, 7 red onions, 4 small square slices of salami, didn’t see any ham, in a serving dish, that was one inch tall $11.99. The manager came out and apologized and offered to bring me another piece of fish, which took up the rest of my lunch break. The food was bland, and the service was just bad. My waitres seemed as if she didn’t care at all, and she offered no apology. The place is old and outdated, and I felt as if i was not want there. I will not be returning to that restaurant.

Well it needs updated decor for sure. Some of the food is good and some just ok. Prices are higher and portions are smaller than other places. Never had any issues with service or staff.

Draws in a lot of ancient people since their food is centered around brunch items and it’s been there forever. Food really isn’t that spectacular. Largely forgettable. Perhaps one of the better places to eat in Stow, but that’s not saying much.
