Best breakfast greasy spoon in town and only a 2 minute walk from our house. Get there early on the weekends before the college students wake up and create a line out the door.

Our favorite restaurant in Kent hands down. There burritos and daily specials are the best thing to get on the menu. Good local craft beers on tap. Not a lot of seating though so consider doing take-out and enjoy your meal in a near by park or picnic table outside.

Cheap and decent movie theater. Mondays night all movies are $5 and they give you a free small popcorn.
HOT TIP: Don't take the free popcorn they give you that is pre-scooped in the bag. Ask for a new one to be bagged or else you'll get a bunch of kernels in the bottom of your bag. I think they recycle their old popcorn in the free stuff they give away.
