Shot of espresso and a refreshing sparkling flavored drink is an amazing afternoon refresher!
Christina C.

Cute coffee shop with the sweetest ladies! Had a few shots of espresso and a refreshing sparkling lemon drink.

a variety of pastries
Nazanin S.

Amazing coffee, lots of space, very friendly baristas who patiently explain what's in every drink and how to accomodate people's different dietary preferences, and fabulous vibe and ambience! I couldn't love this place more. I tried their café nordique which was excellent and quite strong. They have an eclectic array of desserts and drinks with great names (like Parisian Mist which is just a London Fog) but no food! They also have plenty of space and outlets if you want to bring in your laptop and get some work and studying done in a cute coffee shop. The wallpaper in the coffee shop is also so bright and radiates such positive, refreshing energy!

Such a cute spot! The interior was amazing and had so much charm and character. The tile floors were amazing! The service was great and the coffee was so good. I just love the cups too. Highly recommend!

Oat Milk Cookie Latte
Ranji B.

One of the nicer coffee shops in Kingston. The atmosphere is very welcoming with rustic decor and the coffee tastes great! There are a few winter options that you can try the Oat Milk Cookie Latte. There are two sides to the shop - one side that is busy and bustling with noise (also where you order) and a quieter, more intimate side which is perfect for studying or a coffee date!

I am a huge fan of this business. Coffee is great, menu is succinct but manages to cover…read more'everyone', like gluten free, vegetarian, meat eater, etc. The best part, for me though, despite the great food, is the airy uncluttered decor. It is so easy to relax and simply enjoy a conversation (or get your Yelp review done ) in this relaxed space. On top of that, waitstaff are excellent, from seating thru to service.

We visited for takeout: two breakfast sandwiches (one as a combo with a coffee). The cafe has…read moregenuinely lovely vibes and beautiful decor, especially the abundant live plants. Unfortunately, our experience was tarnished by very poor and rude service. We were told the order would take 5-10 minutes, so we sat at an empty table. After a few minutes, a server approached us, abruptly asked we move to the 'communal table' because we had ordered takeout, and literally held out her hand to take my partner's coffee, stating no outside drinks were allowed. She took it and placed it behind the counter literally without any courtesy, please, or thank you. The person who took our original order never mentioned either the no-outside-drinks rule or any restrictions on where we could sit. After forcing us to move, the same server didn't even bring our food to the table, she just told us it was sitting on the counter. When we collected it, we only received the two breakfast sandwiches. The coffee that was included in the combo was completely missing (we didn't realize till after we left). We waited just under 25 minutes for a simple takeout order. The combination of uncommunicated rules, being demeaned and moved like we weren't welcome, the confiscation of the drink, and the incomplete order made the whole interaction feel disrespectful. The atmosphere is nice, but the rude service left such a bad impression... won't be back unfortunately.

Airy bright decor makes it a very pleasant spot for a coffee break or brunch stop.
