One of my favorite coffee shops in Kingston. Better than the chains that are everywhere. Decent coffee , yummy and healthy salads and great egg breakfasts . Would stay away from the red velvet cake ..

Timothy Ball

Best coffee in Kingston . Food selection is always fresh, consistently good and delicious. And the fact it's an independent makes it the best cafe in the area in my opinion.

John Barnham

Nice environment with really friendly staff . I had poached eggs and bacon and it was really well cooked. One thing I'd change is having sea salt rather than table salt - lifts eggs to another level.

Stephanie Muzzall

Knowledgeable staff and great vegan and gluten free options . It's small though so get there early!

Phil Clamp

The mocha here is excellent. Felt the cake was a little overpriced so avoided. Nice little coffee shop which is worth dropping in if you can find a seat.

Cori Olson

Love this place for the honey lattes the fresh salads and the lovely eggs Benedict .

Jamie Barnard

Siobhan Cockram

Best breakfasts in Kingston! Great coffee too!

Andrew Reid

Quirky. Super friendly . Best coffee outside Chelsea Market in NYC. And quality organic food . But tight on space sometimes.

Chris Hutchinson

The best poached eggs in town !

Steve Bailey

Their poached eggs and bacon on toast is delicious. Mind, it's not actually on toast . It comes next to the toast . But it's dead easy to lift it onto the toast yourself.

Tim Bush

Love the Matcha Latte !

Hawk GT

Nice to find a decent cup of coffee and breakfast options.

Gary Gale

Great espresso and it’s an independent too.

Steve Rudland

Great coffee and rightly hugely popular, but 20 minute wait for a sandwich is a bit frustrating.
