Herbal Essence Coffee

One of Kent's independent coffee shops, with a cozy atmosphere that makes it a natural choice for students looking for somewhere to spend a few hours. Good espresso, local pastries, and enough space that you can actually sit down without feeling like you're in the way. Popular enough during the academic year that it can get crowded in the afternoons.

A reliable stop for coffee before or after visiting the May 4 Visitors Center or wandering downtown.
