  KT's Coffee Talk 218 N. Main St. Hubbard , OH 44425 Friends of ours shared some exciting news with us. A new coffee shop was opening up in Hubbard, Ohio at the beginning of March. We had actually talked about visiting the shop for their grand opening, but we changed our plans as we wanted to be fair and allow them a few weeks to work out any kinks. It was well worth the wait.  The coffee shop is located right on N. Main St. with parking on the side of the building, between Woodland Cellars and Sigaro Cigar Lounge . Woodland Cellars is located behind KT's Coffee Talk. The parking lot is motorcycle friendly. KT's Coffee Talk is a small, intimate coffee shop with limited seating. They have  several options with a paltry amount of signature drinks. But don't let that stop you from indulging yourself. John and Bea ordered a medium iced chocolate covered strawberry latte (Strawberry, chocolate sauce). What did we think, you ask? We both agree that it was a chocolate covere

Open Door Coffee Company 164 N. Main St. Hudson, OH 44236 Open Door Coffee Company We found ourselves heading out to Macedonia, OH for dinner when we were reminded that we needed to stop in Hudson to pick up some hot sauce at Heather's Heat and Flavor . Once we parked, picked up our bottles of heat, it dawned on us that there was a coffee shop that was a quick walk down the road. Feeling a bit down on this week's coffee blog we decided to make our way up the road. On the corner was Open Door Coffee Company. Overcome with excitement we walked up to the counter. An employee greeted us, and when we told her that it was our first time there she pointed out some selections and explained their coffee options.  Bea ordered a hot Peanut Butter and Honey Latte. What can be said? Delicious! John ordered himself a hot Peach Latte. This was quite a unique drink. So you ask yourself what did John have to say? "Freakin' amazing!" Like any other coffee shop we ordered ourselves

Bent Tree Coffee Roasters 313 N. Water Street Kent, OH 44240 Bent Tree Coffee Roasters This past Saturday we made a stop in to Bent Tree Coffee Roasters in Kent, Ohio. Locals stores in the area are known to carry their products. One of the products often seen is their Snapchill coffee.  "What is Snapchill? The Snapchill process involves hot brewing coffee to develop the best possible flavor and instantly chilling it to 38* to prevent oxidation. The coffee is then immediately canned to preserve nuanced flavors." ~Bent Tree Coffee Roasters Last week, we had the opportunity to try a can of the Black Squirrel Blend and the Ethiopia Lalissa. Both are worth a try, but we preferred the Black Squirrel Blend.  This busy location has very limited space. There is plenty of parking in the front and on the street. We need to add that it's biker friendly. The menu is limited, and the staff is knowledgeable of their product. Bent Tree Coffee Roasters roast their own coffee. Bea ordered

Hallowed Grounds Coffee Co. 13.5 Sycamore Drive New Middletown, OH 44442 Hallowed Grounds Coffee Co Calling all horror fans! This week's location is the place for you. Several people that we have spoken to all suggested this location. So...this past weekend we piled into the car and made our way to New Middletown, OH. Home of Hallowed Grounds Coffee Co.  We were greeted by a staff member who was quite friendly and helpful. Bea ordered an Iced White and Dirty (sweet Vanilla and Cinnamon Latte), John ordered himself a Hot Double Chocolate Caramel Macchiato and an Asiago bagel with cream cheese. She informed us that the bagels were from a company called New York Water Bagel Co.   Our order was not complete until we tried a small cup of their Indian (dark roast) coffee. The coffee that they use is from Caruso's Coffee Roasters .  We were quite happy with our signature drinks and John enjoyed his bagel and cream cheese. The small coffee that we tried of the Indian was not to our lik
