Kent Cheesemonger -- Kent, OH

By -

I've wanted to do a write up about the Kent Cheesemonger since they opened in 2015. Dave and I were still living in Ravenna and visited the Kent Cheesemonger frequently before we moved to Green. Every time we stopped by the Cheesemonger, it just didn't seem like a visit worth writing a review about -- we stopped in here and there to buy a light dinner or to create a cheese plate for a party. Now that the Kent Cheesemonger has an outdoor patio, it seemed like the perfect time to stop in for a glass of wine, cheese, and to write up a review.




The Kent Cheesemonger is located in Acorn Alley, just follow the sandwich sign up the stairs to a little square -- the same square also contains Popped! which sells ice cream, popcorn, and other confections.







The Kent Cheesemonger is a great place to go if you're putting together a cheese platter for a party, there are so many new and interesting cheeses to choose from -- our favorite discovery has been the Wensleydale with Cranberry, it's always a hit at our parties.




You can also pick-up specialty beer, wine, and cider to go along with your cheese as well as dip mixes and other items that will help make your cheese tray a success.





If you'd like to stay awhile you can order a cheese tray with cheese, crackers, almonds, and charcuterie (we left that off, but it's an option!). You're able to choose your cheeses from an assorted list provided by the Cheesemonger, you'll see in the bottom right corner of the plate our favorite Wensleydale with Cranberry. We also purchased two bottles of wine to split among us and our friends. 




If you follow the Kent Cheesemonger on Facebook they post about various events that they host. We've also seen them out and about at the various Main Street Kent Events. While we enjoy visiting the Cheesemonger, now that we live further away we don't get to stop by as much as we like, which is why we've not been able to attend any of the events they've hosted. 

I love to support local businesses and the Cheesemonger has a much wider variety of products than any of the grocery stores in the area. The Kent Cheesemonger also strives to be constantly bringing in new products while still maintaining a high level of quality. 

My rating for the Kent Cheesemonger:

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
