It has simple menu , 2 breakfast set to choose, lunch with different sandwiches. I chose apple bacon and it is delicious. The scone is flaky and texture is between scone and pastry. The tea is serve with fancy plate which I like it a lot. Lots of bakery I like to try . Since it is self-service , the price is around $18 - $20 with sandwich plus tea.

Both were decent for a quick snack and drink. The outdoor patio is lovely with the vines and a few small tables. However the air conditioner (or some other type of machine) is quite loud, which impacts the ambiance. Would definitely pop by again!

What a cute little place! I ate here late morning on a Saturday during my birthday trip to…read moreKingston. I was seated right away. If you are a solo diner, this is a safe place. They don't treat you as if you matter less or try to stick you at a bar. The restaurant was busy but I was seated right away. There is a bakery attached, but I didn't go over since I'm gluten-free and hate looking if I don't know in advance they have goodies I can eat. I always vet my restaurants in advance with the dietary restriction and there were excellent options for those GF. I ordered the Peach, Pineapple and Coconut mimosa. I HATE peach, but she was able to make it with just the other two. They put coconut cream around the side of the glass. EXCELLENT mimosa. One of the best I ever had. I also ordered the Pork & Tomatillo Tostada. This came on these crispy corn tortillas. I'm a huge texture person...that was amazing. The pork was delicious. There were also scrambled eggs, this delicious sauce, cheese, herbs and tomatoes. Absolute yum. I would eat this every day of the week! There were also potatoes on the side, which were very tasty. Service was perfect. Brenda was my server. She made sure I had everything I needed. She did forget I was GF and brought me a cookie from the bakery. It wasn't GF, but the gesture was nice. They also had a colourful sign over the front window advertising local vendors, which was that nice, small town touch. Very cute place, convenient location. Good service and delicious food. I will definitely return when I visit Kingston again.

There are 3 entrances to this place, and it looked very small from the back entrance we took. We…read moreinitially thought there were no seats, but that was wrong; further inspection lead us right inside where there were 3 or 4 tables around the cash and serving area. Further inspection showed that there was lots more seating upstairs, if you can handle climbing up. And if you walk around a bit, there is more seating, along with another entrance, in front of the bakery side. So it's much bigger than it looks from the outside. Apparently they also have seating outside in the summer. The coffee we had was tasty enough; they sell you the cup and you fill it yourself. And the service was pleasant enough. The big downer for me was the single toilet - in the basement!! And the soaked lonely roll of TP - the only roll available :-( Thank goodness for the PSW who was with the disabled person waiting for me to finish up down there! She got him downstairs and took care of him, and then back up. Some heroes don't wear capes that you can see!
