I bought a variety of things. We loved the chocolate covered pretzels, strawberries, and lemon peel! I'm the only one that tried a chocolate covered Thai chili. It was so good that I bought three more! My mother in law loved the caramel chocolate pretzels. Everything we ate was great, and the rest looks delicious. The prices are also very reasonable. I will definitely be hitting up this shop again!

However, with many of the photos pictured, the business page is not one through which most families would want their children perusing.

Mostly canned/packaged goods, with some delicious local fresh cheeses near the back of the store. They also sell their own coffee (try the Kingston blend) and custom or pre-made gift baskets. They carry a huge selection of unique imported food items from legit Italian pasta to local hot sauce to candy from England. I always stop by when I am in town to pick up a neat goodie to take home ;)

I personally go there whenever I want to find a sweet gift for someone. You never know what you'll find. What makes the store really special is the antique feel, especially the floors that are creaky old wood (that's a good thing!) Also, the aromas when you first walk in of coffee and chocolate are amazing.

They have absolutely 100% scrumptious bread! And baked goodies. I love their dinner buns. They are made in this pull-a-part style and absolutely delicious to accompany soup, or toasted with butter, or, Pb&J, or cheese. Almost anything really, you can't go wrong. I was in Kingston recently and really wanted those dinner buns, unfortunately they didn't have them. Not on Sunday, not on Monday. I settled for their mini olive and rosemary dinner rolls. They were good too. Service here is pretty on point. There was a question I had asked the lady behind the counter and she came out from behind the counter to help answer any questions I had and serve me. She was really awesome! They have a catering menu, a cafe for brunch, they have fresh breads available and they do specialty cakes. They are totally the real deal. AND they sell Neal Brothers' cheese puffs. Havent been able to find these bad boys anywhere. They discontinued them in grocery retailers and health food stores don't seem to carry them. I'm in Toronto and havent been able to find them for a couple of years. They are a pretty penny, yet worth it for the sheer pleasure. Their store front is spacious and inviting. Certainly the place to be, everyone seemed to be walking in when I went. It is very well known. They can for sure accomodate a large amount of people. I would most definitely revisit when Im in the city next.

Well, we didn't expect this experience when we went to Kingston! We were on our way to a hardware…read morestore, but got lead astray (yes, Yelp can still do that to us on occasion! the location noted had closed or moved! Ok, COVID doesn't help, as this is happening more frequently these days!!) Needing to recharge and regroup to figure out where we are going and make it to the hardware store, we were hungry and needed better sustenance than is usually provided in a coffee shop. After looking around a bit, we ended up on Kingston's Princess street, and chose to try this place out. First of all, it's deceiving from the outside: it looks way smaller than it really is, like a bakery outlet with a reasonable variety of baked goods on offer. However, there's a back portion where customers can eat in the store. Being that we're still getting used to the "new normal", we weren't ready to dine in, and wanted a seat outside. **Note: to get a seat on the patio, you actually have to go outside to find the hostess and request a table. It was a Sunday afternoon, and they were doing a booming business! But the wait was not long. We had a hard time choosing from the menu; there are a LOT of options! I was expecting a beautiful bakery selection but it was more sandwiches and other unusual, eclectic meals. We eventually chose a burger for hubby, and a shrimp sandwich for me, with a regular coffee for him and Café au lait for me. The Café was great, and even came with a wafer cookie. The wait was not long for our meals. OK, to be honest, I was not expecting to have my sinuses cleared out while I ate, but the food was so spicy to me, also with an after bite, that I was blowing my nose throughout the meal! Not a good look during COVID (sad face!) Worse, I picked up the great big sandwich to take a bite and a shrimp rolled off the top and fell to the ground! Very sad! These shrimps were lightly breaded and quite tasty! No wonder they gave me a fork and knife! Note to self: use cutlery! Here's the great part: one of the servers, went over and above, beyond the call of duty, and got me another shrimp!! It was so prettily laid out on a lettuce leaf, and quite hot - so fresh! Kudos for that!! I will have to bear this experience in mind for next time we visit Kingston, when we are looking for somewhere different to eat.

Located in Kingston, Ontario this is a tapas style restaurant. The interior is dark and cool making…read moreyou think of a wine cellar. Full bar with extensive wine options. They have a private party room downstairs which is also where the restrooms are located so the restaurant isn't really accessible. They recommend 3-4 dishes per person. This can be expensive as most dishes are in the 20 dollar range. The steak with chimichurri sauce was excellent!!! But was also $44.00 for about 13 small slices. We also ordered a Thai green curry cod that comes with cashews infused in the sauce. We had a nut allergy at the table so they were able to remove the cashews to make the dish nut free. Service was decent but this is a dining environment where you are not rushed out the door. Dishes come out sporadically so you are meant for slow dining. This is a good place to celebrate a special occasion or if you just want something different while in Kingston.

The flavours were spectacular. The cone was a dark chocolate dipped waffle cone. Mmmmmm! For someone who originally said no thanks ,not for me. I was not disappointed.

You can also stay inside the eat because they have a stand up table section on the side. You can order almost any flavour gelato and they make it so well here in my opinion! I didn't get to get the pistachio I wanted sadly because we spent a little too much already in here for everyone. The small scoop is two scoops and they are BIG scoops for $7.70. The best part is you can split them into separate cups per scoop. Huge plus! I will be coming here again and recommend everyone who enjoys ice cream to come here!

The store was very cute and the staff behind the counter friendly. They have vanilla based flavours and chocolate based along with other items. I ordered what I believe was called the White Knight. It tasted milk chocolate with white chocolate pieces. I had been to Mio Gelato a few steps down, so of course your brain is going to compare. This place didn't have benches outside or anywhere to sit as the gelato place did, so I had to walk down to the water and find a place, but it was nice to sit in the little park area under the trees in the shade. The ice cream was good, but it did have a very slight 'freezer' taste at the beginning. The white chocolate chunks were very good. The service wasn't as friendly at this store as Mio. Just basic, but good enough. The ice cream taste is creamier than the gelato, so it's always nice to have something new and different on a different day. One of the better ice cream shops I've visited, and I would definitely stop in again to try another flavour.
