The range and quality of food on offer here is incredible. Up one end is a well-stocked deli, with cold meats, pre-made sandwiches and a range of pre-prepared dinners (from 'cook and eat' to simple 'heat and eat'). The fruit section is small but filled with the most delicious local produce; the strawberries in January are particularly recommended. The general groceries section is small but contains all the basics. Of special interest is a fantastic cake section, selling whole cakes, slices thereof, tarts and other delicious treats - all handmade and fresh. The prices are higher than a standard grocery store, as you'd expect, but the quality is more than worth it, and for those living in Lower Sandy Bay or beyond, it's nice to have a convenient one-stop shop for quality eating.

In a small, unassuming shop right off the main road, a few seats inside and a few seats outdoors. They have a few treats in a case, nothing particularly substantial but yummy none the less- muffins, tarts, that sort of thing. You can grab some specialty coffee roasts from small, boutique batch roasters and some other at home coffee brewing items, plus lots of helpful advice and to get you going. They also do barista and coffee training... and it shows! Now the main thing you're going there for is the coffee. And it doesn't disappoint. Two sizes, usual options. Nice and strong without being bitter and immediately drinkable- it comes out at the perfect temperature. The staff remember you and what you order, and always greet you by name. Easily the beat coffee in Kingston.
