Such a GREAT find while strolling Princess Street in Kingston. We had a busy afternoon of exploring and walking all over Kingstong and after hearing about the Lemon Drop coffee from our friends Andrea and Jonny. We HAD to make BSE a definite stop to check out.
Surprisingly when we got there this was more than a coffee shop for sure, it was such a time to see the concept of this place; a hybrid between Skate Shop + Coffee Shop. Definitely a creative merge of two different concepts and what a VIBE! They have an incredible collection of skate boards, clothing and foot wear... as well as a SICK little coffee shop in the middle of it.
Make sure if you are here to try their Lemon Drop. This was our first time having a drink like this and let me tell you the idea of Lemonade and coffee together have never crossed my mind, but WOW! It was so refreshing, yet a great deal of energy boost. Enjoyed better with their delicious matcha cookie and nutella tart.
Service was superb! It felt like meeting a new friend for the first time and hitting it off naturally. What a great way to make someone feel welcome to their establishment, also ask for their recommendations! Some of us tried different drinks too, like their Thai iced coffee and we were so pleased with the recommendation.
After we all grabbed our coffees, we noticed they had a patio in the back, so we decided to chill there and take a break before continuing with our day. It was such a quirky and cali warm vibe there, we almost wanted to stay all afternoon!!
We loved this place so much, we had to come back again before we headed back to Toronto on Sunday for a second round of their Lemon Drop! I still think about it to this day. Greg and I tried recreating it at home, so from now on this drink will forever remind us of BSE. read more
