Constance Fromagerie & Café, located in Northwest Akron’s Pilgrim Square, offers a unique dining experience with its make-your-own charcuterie boards and seasonal beverages. The cafe is owned by Rachel Balko, who was inspired by her love of charcuterie boards and European cuisine.

Creating a Charcuterie Board

Customers can choose from a variety of cheeses, meats, and dips to create their own charcuterie board. Balko recommends selecting a variety of textures and colors to create a visually appealing board. The cafe also offers a range of seasonal beverages, including an iced strawberry rose matcha.

The charcuterie board is a wonderful mix of salty, sweet, sharp, and creamy flavors, with a variety of ingredients such as cured meats, nuts, olives, and fresh fruit. The iced strawberry rose matcha is a refreshing and springy drink that complements the charcuterie board nicely.
