Amazing Cafe. Love visiting here with friends here weekly. Great coffee and teas as well as a cozy feel.
Delicious coffee and pastries, and the servers are very friendly and attentive. This place is very popular and it can be difficult to find an open table.
The staff working today were SUPER friendly and helpful. Big shoutout. Great coffee and snacks as always.
Honestly the best coffee and so happy to find one in Kingston! Winter blend is great and if they have any of the Muramba beans…buy them!
Excellent in every respect. Always delicious coffee. Top notch service. And tasty treats.
Prettiest coffee shop in Kingston with lots of seating. Love the retail coffee options. Hot apple cider is amazing, as well as the sparkling lemonade drinks (to which I wish they had all year round). Espresso is most often really good and balanced. Sometimes I find it might be pulling a little too long or short but that happens everywhere. I want to say 5 stars but the missing star is for the service. There are maybe 2 baristas that have been consistently friendly and welcoming, and you can tell who the managers are because they are always very friendly and kind. But about half the time I come here, the service is unfriendly and even bordering on rude and miserable, which is unfortunate because that sometimes makes me want to go somewhere else.

Washrooms are gross and the place looked a bit dirty.
Best coffee this side of Cuba! The almond croissant is incredibly addicting, consider yourself warned.
Great lattés and great atmosphere!
