College students basically have coffee running through their veins. Luckily, Kent has several coffee options downtown for students to get their fix.

There are a number of locally-owned coffee shops that offer unique drinks, but don’t worry. If you need your Starbucks or Dunkin’ to get you going, we have that too.
