Love it here! My girlfriend and I are regulars and they make the best matcha in Ohio for sure. The staff are super friendly and make you feel at home in the shop. We also buy the ground coffee and the earl grey, super delicious and makes a great gift for loved ones. If you live in kent or are visiting... going to Bent Tree is a must. read more

This was my first time stopping into this coffee shop, and I'll definitely be returning. The coffee drink I had was very tasty (cold brew) and nothing fancy. I did ask the barrista a few general questions that she answered with a warm big smile. It's very cute and cozy inside. Due to the limitations of size, there was a long line trailing nearly outside of the entrance door, but that really just speaks to the popularity of this spot more than size constraints I believe. read more

Favorite cafe in Kent. Love love love their orange mocha and cold brew, just depending on what I'm feeling. Staff is super knowledgeable about the beans they roast in house and easy to chat coffee with. The quality of beans served hits every time, never burned or over roasted. Retail beans have a stellar variety for roast level and bean origin-- everything I've tried has a unique flavor profile and is roasted to compliment each bean for what it is. Most recent bean I took home was a light roast Colombia Juan Puerta mango co-ferment, and it was perfect for a Chemex pour over. Dude behind the counter helped me choose a good bean that day to fit what I was craving, and helped me learn more about the what a co-ferment bean was. read more

Love their coffee! I'm regularly stopping in here for whole roasted beans for my daily home brews. All of the drinks I've bought during my visits have been on point. I've treated myself to a few of their baked goods and always enjoyed them, too! Baristas are always attentive and friendly! read more

Coffee presentation average. Flavor was smooth not strong average. Staff friendliness average. read more

Cool little coffee shop and roasters. The place is tiny with very limited seating. The parking lot has a nice aroma of coffee probably because they roast in house. The staff is friendly and the service is very speedy. They offer many latte flavors and coffee types. They also sell their roasted coffee beans and plenty of merch. This is a great option for a quality coffee fix! read more

This place is amazing. I had a blueberry muffin and a chai latte and they were both so delicious. There were two guys working one was taking our order and the other is making the order. My latte was ready seconds after we payed and it was amazing. I also love the way this place is decorated and the mascot it's totally cute being a turtle. And the wall of t-shirts is very pulling and I want one. read more

Stopped here in the morning for coffee before heading out to Canton. We needed our morning fix. Place is pretty small, maybe like a table or two to sit inside. They do have a section where they are roasting the beans, it smelled delicious walking inside. They have plenty of merchandise and bags of beans for sale. Barista was friendly and very helpful. We tried a seasonal peach nitro cold brew, a Cappuccino and an iced latte. My sister wasn't a fan of the cold brew which I was already expecting. I thought it was fine, nice subtle peach flavor. My sister did enjoy the other two, very good coffee. Would definitely return. read more

Stopped in on a local place in OH, Bent Tree Coffee Roasters. The smell in this place was magical. The atmosphere really chill. The coffee... delicious. I usually don't order flavored lattes but tried their lavender latte and...wow, this drink really embodied this roaster. Staff were super friendly. Grabbed these beans and I can't wait to grind em' up for a brew. If you're in the area, these guys are a must try. read more

I'm not a fan of leaving negative reviews but I hope this helps them in the long run. The venue itself is in a good location with ample street parking. The store is nicely decorated and cookies are yum. But Coffee was not flavorful or robust and the small is SMALL. The biggest issue we had is one of our group members had to leave because the seating is outside, with stairs and not handicap friendly :( read more

Great little lunch spot in Toas right off the Main Street. Service was excellent. Food very good.

Very disappointed. The atmosphere was great, food was good, but it all comes down to the coffee. I bought 2lbs of the espresso blend and the black squirrel blend. These are two of the darkest roasts they have. I made up my espresso shot and they both tasted very green and under-roasted. Also, the beans were not shaken properly to remove the skins. Extremely disappointed. read more

Cool vibe inside ....my main roasted coffee bean for about 3 years steady now Staff very nice read more

Small coffee shop in Kent. Good selection of coffee, tea and assorted drinks. Beans for sale and they'll grind if you wish. Many tasty goodies also available. I enjoy their house breakfast blend - a tasty medium roast with a smooth chocolate and nut flavor. Staff is helpful and quick. read more

Easily the best coffee shop I have experienced, period (and I've experienced many!). My husband and I stopped in during a rainy day respite from hiking nearby. I prefer local coffee shops that roast their own beans, source organic coffee, and above all, have knowledgable and friendly baristas. Bent Tree checked all those boxes! I was blown away with the barista's ability to make personalized recommendations for my two dietary restrictions and customize a beverage for me that was absolutely delicious. The space is cozy, eclectic, with a most friendly vibe. We enjoyed our beverages so much that we got a second one to go, and have changed our plans for tomorrow to include another visit! I hope that the local population realizes what a gem they have in Bent Tree Coffee, and that travelers like myself do themselves a favor and drop in for a visit! read more

Great coffee. Love the college town coffee shop ambiance of this establishment. Wonderful combination of coffee menu, ambiance and service. All the elements important to me. One of my favorite coffee shops in the Kent area. read more

My wife and I stopped in during our visit to Kent and today and found this gem of a coffee shop where they roast their own beans on site. A beautiful eclectic spot in the downtown mill area of the city. The baristas were extremely knowledgeable and patient with us. We are going to re-route our hiking trip in Cuyahoga Falls Metro Gorge tomorrow to stop in here again. read more

Great little coffee shop! Love their coffees...both made to order and I buy beans to take home. Always nice and helpful! The everything bagels are yummy! read more

Love love love this place! The coffee is always great and the maple scones are delicious too. My go to is an iced raspberry latte but their seasonal menu is always so fun. The inside is so cute and I love that they have an outdoor patio area. Best coffee near campus!! read more

Get the 'Earthquaker' coffee this is one of our favorites! It's close, prices are good, but parking is sometimes a hassle, but that is Kent. read more

Been coming here for 10+ years and hope I can keep coming for 10+ more. I have yet to find better coffee in the area. There are so many good roasts to choose from and they bring out new roasts occasionally. The shop is quaint and cozy. It can get busy at times, but if you visit at a slower time the baristas are extremely friendly and happy to chat. If you love coffee watch out because Bent Tree will become the standard and makes it difficult for other cafes to compare. Thanks for keeping me caffeinated! read more

Surprised to find I've never written a review for Bent Tree! A cozy lil spot just north of downtown. While I've never had their roasted coffee in-shop, a decent amount of places around serve it and I've always enjoyed. When I stop in, I almost always get a seasonal drink. They've had some truly creative & yummy gems. Recently, a peppermint mocha. In the fall, a harvest maple latte (maple latte with additional spices). Before that, a latte made with fruity pebbles cereal milk. One of the first places around to have oat milk, I used to regularly get a maple oat milk latte -- tastes like breakfast! Like many have mentioned, this little stop doesn't have much seating, but I'm typically grabbing their drinks and going anyway. I also love the cake pops they sell from a local vendor too! I've also really respected all of the covid precautions they've taken the entirety of covid's existence. They should really be applauded for keeping their customers and staff saf Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping in & supporting local always! read more

I stopped into Bent Tree a few weeks ago to buy some Christmas gifts for family, and I had a really good experience. I know that most reviews are for the great drinks and snacks, but this one is for the customer service. As somoene who is not a coffee drinker, I set out to find some coffee to give as gifts to family members this holiday season. Having truly no idea what I was looking for, the employee who was definitely multi-tasking during a busy Saturday afternoon took the time to help me select different beans for each person. I wish I knew his name, but I didn't see a name tag (and it was hard to give a description because he was wearing a mask). Nonetheless, I'd have to believe that he is one of many kind employees at Bent Tree. While I'm sure all the beverages and treats are great, I will definitely be back for the customer service alone. read more

So I am not a wordy person and I only leave limited reviews. I fricken love coffee. This place is awesome. Ambiance amazing, service outstanding, selection great. Just come and you will agree. Oh and the scone was really good also. Not too dry read more

The coffee was very acidic and left us all feeling rough the rest of the day. The service was fine. We got our coffee to go so I can't speak to the atmosphere. read more

Best coffee in Kent! Whether you're looking for beans to take home and brew yourself, or a morning cup of Joe this is the place! Staff is amazing! Patient, friendly, helpful, and kind! They have delicious seasonal drinks that are well crafted and always a good choice if you want to branch out (haha tree pun). If you're someone who knows what you like, or sticks with the basics, they also are the place for you! They have house-made syrups to add to your drinks, and a variety of milk alternatives. They also offer a variety of different coffee roasts prepackaged to take home with you. They have different French presses and pour overs for sale so that you can become a master of the different ways to brew your coffee at home! Cute mugs, hats, and other merch too! Pretty much, whatever you need Bent Tree has with a smile! read more

Amazing coffee and fun atmosphere, even during COVID. Highly recommend the Brown Sugar Oak Latte. Probably the best latte I've ever had.

I really enjoy a good London Fog but haven't ordered one in a long time because I feel like some other establishments never steep the tea enough. If they advertise it as a lavender London Fog, there's also never enough lavender. I was a little apprehensive about ordering a London Fog here but something told me to do it anyways. The two aforementioned problems did not exist here. I could smell the lavender off of my drink when I first took a sip. It was absolutely incredible and they steeped the tea perfectly. My partner got a drip decaf and he was really impressed with their unique flavors. Definitely will be back to try more drinks from them when I am back in town! read more

My daughter is thinking about attending Kent State in the fall of 2024, and I'm really hoping she does, because this is an awesome coffee place that I would like to frequent often. I came here yesterday for just a drip coffee, but the two men who were working there made it fresh for me and it was one of the best cups of coffee I ever had. Definitely the best drip coffee for sure. I had the Brazilian light roast and it was phenomenal. So much flavor. The two men working were hard workers, very nice and friendly. The establishment is clean and cool. Love all the brewing supplies, Bent Tree merch, and the huge coffee roaster to the left when you walk in. I absolutely loved my visit here. Great job, Bent Tree! read more

We come here to buy their beans. Great locally roasted coffee. I also found my favorite loose leaf tea of all time here. If you are a fan of teas look for their selection! I can't drink caffeine really so I am always looking for good decaf tea and coffee options. I was delighted to find a caffeine free loose leaf tea that I love. Really enjoy their decaf coffee beans and my husband loves their regular beans. Cute shop in Kent. read more

The BEST coffee place in Kent! I like trying different types of coffee but don't like if they are horribly sweet... so Bent Tree is my go-to! Matcha lattes - They really use matcha powder and not matcha syrup that's why I love this place because I have never found a place so far in Kent that does that!! Seasonal flavors - Changes seasonally but always SUPERB!! LOVE the orange mocha. Legit tastes like orange peel + mocha that's not overly sweet. LOVE the lavender lattes. Omg, this is my second go-to if I don't get the matcha latte. read more

Excellent macchiato- nice dollop of foamed milk strong but not burnt coffee flavor . Two.

Nothing fancy just delicious coffee. A little hippyish but it is a coffee shop after all. The staff is very nice.

Little coffee shop we stopped by yesterday during our walk. Menu is pretty small, and that might be due to the situation. They had 2 tables for sitting outside, but in full sun when room was available on the shade (it was over 90F). We asked if we could move them and told no. Food menu was not having many options available and none of you are lactose intolerant or not into oatmeal. read more

I enjoy this place, the informative baristas, and their coffee. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. They have a wide assortment of single origin coffees that they roast in-house. You can even see the roasting equipment in the same room you sit in! They also have a ton of brewing equipment for sale, to which I purchased a Hario glass server. They only have high top tables and bar seating. Take the following more as constructive criticism Bent Tree, I love your place and Kent in general. I will warn those who enjoy legit light roasted coffee though. Bent tree claims they have light roast coffee, but in reality it's medium roast coffee. Every time I go there I pick up bitterness in my coffee, caused by over roasting their beans. It's not just the taste that tells me this, but the color of the roasted beans themselves: too dark. This is why I only gave four stars. Five stars if it wasn't for that. They are still 1000 times better than Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts though, so please don't misunderstand me here. Best coffee in Kent without a doubt! read more

Really good coffee! And I consider myself a coffee snob lol. Decent hours, parking and the staff is nice. She even opened up a little early for us, although the internet said 6:30. They have a nice selection of coffee related items, beans and some cups and clothing. I highly recommend the scones too. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops in the Kent area. If you catch them at the right time, you'll get to see and smell them roast beans! I love their maple lattes, golden milk lattes, and iced teas! The peach oolong tea is my favorite, but it comes and goes on the menu. I've tried their bags of beans that you can purchase and they have all tasted great! Personally, I am a fan of their light roasts. They'll even grind it to whatever device you have at home. They consistently deliver good service here, and I have even become well acquainted with some of the staff just from stopping in for a drink! It can become a little crowded and loud at times, so depending on when you come in it's not always the best environment for a date or studying. read more

The blends just get better and better... the latest... PB&J! No oils or flavors added... a variety with a fruity taste... one with a nutty taste... and a third with the aroma of bread... an amazing cup either hot or cold! Worth the trek to Kent to get a fresh brewed cup... but super easy to pick up a pound at Heinens now! read more
