Our Story
Founded with a love for great coffee and even greater people, Tree City Coffee was built around a simple idea — to create a cozy, welcoming space where everyone feels at home. Our name pays tribute to Kent’s nickname, “Tree City,” reflecting our deep roots in the local community and our commitment to growth, sustainability, and connection.
Every pastry is baked with care, every latte poured with passion, and every guest greeted like an old friend. From early mornings with a warm cappuccino to late-night study sessions fueled by our signature cold brew, Tree City Coffee & Pastry has become a gathering place for Kent locals and college students alike.
Our Coffee and Pastries
We proudly serve high-quality, ethically sourced coffee that’s roasted to perfection. Our baristas are trained to craft your favorites — from smooth lattes and bold espressos to rich mochas and refreshing iced brews.
Pair your drink with a selection of fresh-baked pastries, breakfast sandwiches, and locally inspired treats that capture the flavor and spirit of Kent.
Community and Connection
At Tree City Coffee, we believe coffee is about connection. That’s why we host community events, support local artists and musicians, and offer a friendly space where conversations begin and ideas take root. Our café reflects the heart of Kent — warm, creative, and always growing.
Only the Best Ingredients
At Tree City, we pride ourselves on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. We source our coffee from Akron Coffee Roasters, ensuring that each coffee bean ground is only of the best quality. We believe in using direct-trade, organic coffee beans in our coffees, and that’s just one way we leave your coffee tasting better. All ingredients used are sustainably grown and ethically sourced, that way, your coffee is just as good as it tastes.
Tried and True Recipes
We carefully crafted each of our recipes while keeping family, friends, and comfort in mind. As your home away from home, we want flavors that will bring you enjoyment, familiarity, and the option for customization so that your drink is exactly how you imagined. Our delicious roasted coffee beans are just one key ingredient that supports that mission. Consider trying our espresso to see why our coffees are unrivaled, or one of our mochas for a delicious chocolatey experience.
Everything by Hand
We believe in the importance of authentic recipes. For that reason, hand-made drinks and sandwiches are one of our specialties. Our coffee beans are ground fresh daily, and our teas are brewed to perfection to ensure your drink is warm, refreshing, robust, and most importantly, well-balanced. Our sandwiches are made with the same level of care and attention–you deserve breakfast that is so good, it reminds you of home.
We hope to hear from you soon!
