This is a really cool little spot seeing it’s a bookstore and a coffee shop. The staff was friendly. However, when I ask for a refill on my hot water for my tea, they told me they don’t refill hot water. I am a coffee shop girl. I got a coffee shops all over the place and have never had somebody told me that. That would be enough to make me not come back.

Cozy little bookstore with a nice selection of used books and records. They have some used CDs too but not a whole lot. Book selections include fantasy/sci-fi, drama, and classic novels along with some old cookbooks. Coffee is strong and reasonably priced. Expect the barista to verbally ask you if you want to tip and how much. Because they don’t have the little tablet that you typically see at coffee shops. The barista asking me that caught me off guard.

They harass customers for tips and if you do not tip them they will not put actual expresso in your coffee. Went there multiple times to test this theory, even took my friends there to see and sadly its true. They ask you to tip before making your drink then depending on if you do or not depends on how strong your coffee will be.

This place is a great addition to this little slice of shopping heaven. Record store has tons of vinyl to shop. Then right over to the book shop to find some great used books that are priced to sell. Then right into the coffee shop for an amazing Danish with whatever kind of coffee you you want at a very reasonable price. I could spend hours in this place!!!

Love almost everything about Last Exit. It has been my go-to place in Kent for a cup of coffee and an hour change of scenery from my home office a few times a week. Books, music, cafe, and a unique ambience that is fantastic. The owner is super friendly as well as everyone else who works there... with one exception.There is one regular employee who is rude, gets orders wrong, and often charges the wrong amount. He talks loudly and often, usually debating some philosophical topic. But if I try to order something at the cafe, say hi how are you, or any other normal customer interaction I won't even get a grunt out of him most of the time. And he isn't really listening when I order which is why it's often wrong with the wrong price (I'm talking black coffee here).All of this hasn't deterred me so far. But my youngest daughter and her friend (both 23) went there recently and this same employee followed them all around the store standing directly behind them without saying a word the entire time. My daughter is interracial and her friend is arabic, and they are both attractive. I assume his behavior was related to the latter, but it's very creepy and not ok regardless.

The atmosphere, interiors and general vibe of Last Exit is unparalleled. Not to mention the amazing book prices. But the food & drink are a bit lacking.

Cute book and coffee shop. We stumbled on the bookshop after eating dinner at a local restaurant. Reasonable used books. Great selection.

The atmosphere is great, the books are great, the drinks are fantastic. I just can't figure out why the barista seems to instantly and absolutely loathe my wife and I, despite having never met before.

Wide selection of books, records and apparel. Plus, the coffee shop smells great, haven't had coffee there but definitely will go back for that and the well priced books

Went in today and tried to use my merchandise credit for selling books to them a few months ago. They told me that they couldn’t accept my $35 merchandise credit because it was ripped from being in my wallet for the past few months. The guy at the counter said that they rip the merchandise credit after it’s used so he couldn’t be sure I didn’t already use it. I don’t understand why they would write out merchandise credit on a piece of thin receipt paper if they expect it to not get ripped… Been selling my books to this place since I was a kid and I’m super disappointed… :(

A great coffee shop with a bookstore of used books inside. A place to read, meet people, and get a hot drink.
