Tree City Coffee & Pastry -- Kent, OH

By -


Our favorite coffee shop is Tree City Coffee in Kent. We frequent Acorn Alley and never get tired of their coffee. We stopped by this past weekend for some coffee and treats as a way to jump start our Sunday morning.

Tree City has a blackboard out front which rotates quotes, drawings and coffee specials. 




The decor inside is pretty industrial, we've never actually sat inside Tree City to drink our coffee, because the tables are usually full by the time we get there. Don't worry though, there's plenty of outdoor seating nearby if you don't want your drink to go.



You place your order after the delicious case of pastries. 





Like most coffee shops, you pick-up your order in a different place to keep the line moving. There is fruit/vegetable infused water available for sipping at this end of the bar if you're parched while waiting for your coffee.



Just after Tree City there are steps which lead up to an outdoor patio, this plaza contains Popped! and the Kent Cheesemonger (soon to open). There are plenty of benches and tables in that area and it's a nice quiet place to enjoy your coffee.

Dave ordered the White Chocolate Frappe (contains no coffee) and I ordered the Iced Vanilla Latte.



I also ordered a Vanilla Cheesecake Pop. 




Dave got a chocolate chip cookie.


As per usual, we were very pleased with our visit to Tree City Coffee, although the tables in the coffee shop are always filled, we never have any difficulty navigating through the line. The chocolate chip cookie was pretty big and filled with chocolate chips. The vanilla cheesecake pop was perfect for someone, like me, who just wanted something a little sweet. The White Chocolate Frappe was the drink that we liked the best, but the Iced Vanilla Latte was good too. Tree City has a lengthy list of flavor syrups if you'd prefer to customize your own drink. They also make their own peanut butter and have several peanut butter sandwich options available (cooler than it sounds, think gourmet peanut butter sandwiches) if you're stopping in for a quick lunch or dinner.

My rating of Tree City Coffee:

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha
