This is by far my favorite coffee shop in kent. The coffee is never too sweet, and the Asiago bagels are to die for. However.. there is one barista in particular I truly cannot stand. He is rude to staff, customers, and honestly just seems like he hates his life. He has long curly brown hair. I've seen him multiple times so I think he could be a manager. I have seen him on multiple occasions be rude to other baristas. Today I went in, and he just seems so judgemental towards anyone he talks to. He never smiles and barely talks. I watched someone tip him today, and he didn't even smile or say thank you. Overall, the baristas here are great. There are two girls in particular I always enjoy seeing, but when he is there the whole mood changes.

Such a fun place! Delicious coffee, friendly service, lots of students, but also locals. I love the fact that they have a library/bookstore, and all the old vinyl records and movies from the past. You can definitely spend some time and money here.

One of the last great independent shops in Kent. Extensive book and record inventory, both used and new, and a great little coffee shop that draws both students and old hippies (I use the term with great reverence and respect!) in equal measure. Knowledgeable, friendly staff, too.

They have a great selection of vinyl, especially new ones. They also have a nice selection of used vinyl that is always changing, so you never know what you might find there!

Probably one of the better selections of Vinyl around the Kent area. I wish they had a little bit deeper selection, but I'm sure it ebbs and flows based on what people bring in. It's also connected to the bookstore, which is great as well. I also enjoy the coffee shop and listening atmosphere here.

went in here got coffee then went to go look at the movies with my bf and we were talking in a whisper because it's a very studious place and this lady racially profiled me assuming I was stealing when I didn't even have a bag or anything on my person, I had no pockets. we told her we didn't have anything and haven't even touched anything. and then she proceeded to check the shelves to double check. I then asked her why she thought we were stealing while I was purchasing something and she got defensive and made a point to call out my annoyed demeanor when my boyfriend was being sweet and understanding with her. and then she stopped talking as soon as another worker walked in when all we asked for was a simple answer. i didn't appreciate being talked down to as well as the profiling while just trying to have a good night and it ended up being ruined. we have gone there multiple times in the past week and spent over a hundred dollars in this past week. I do know we won't be giving them our business anymore.

While vacationing at Cuyahoga Valley National Park, my husband and I looked for places of interest in the nearby city of Kent. Being book lovers, we ended up at Last Exit Books. What a gem!! The space is huge, housing a coffeeshop/bakery in the front and the most amazing collection of used books, records, DVDs, comic books, souvenirs, puzzles, vintage t-shirts and much more in the back portion. The owner was very friendly and spoke to us about how the store came to be. The books are organized much like a library (the space is as big as some branch libraries in our town!) and the non-fiction topics are wide and varied and of course a vast amount of fiction. There were also young adult and children's sections! Tables/seating are available throughout the space, and on a ledge above the retail space. I did find the rather loud country music a bit off-putting for a book store. I would find it hard to sit and enjoy a book or study in the space. If I lived nearby this would be a place that I would visit often!

My wife and I got Lost in the Last Chance Bookstore in Kent, OH during a rainy day respite from hiking in the Cuyahoga Falls National Park. This place was huge and had countless volumes of books and eclectic materials from our musical past to peruse (e.g. record albums, CD's, cassettes, used T-shirts, souvenirs, puzzles). The myriad of books were well organized and displayed. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Although we didn't take advantage of it, the place also had an attached coffee and bakery shop.
