| - A swell little coffee shop (and then some!) conveniently located in downtown Kent, Tree City boasts a vast assortment of pastries, peanut butter sandwiches, coffee drinks, and alcoholic beverages as well--the latter quite the surprise to this reviewer, but certainly welcome. The ambiance is modern without being too cold, just don't expect to have a puffy old chair to cozy up in with a book. Tree City ain't about that life, apparently. The coffee is great--try the maple latte--not overly sweet and properly caffeinated. The alcohol selection is limited to a few craft beers and a small cocktail menu (the chai tea old fashioned looked intriguing). For only $5 a pop, the cocktails are perfectly priced for thirsty college students, one imagines. The true stars of the show, however, are Tree City's PB sandwiches, which are made to order and come in cute brown bags with chips and baby carrots. I tried the honey nut crunch: a toasted, soul-warming delight comprised of PB, granola, and honey. A perfect snack, and a real steal for only about $5.
