Ambience, menu, vibe are all great at the spot. Parking is a little bit annoying, but well worth it once you find it and get in. You order up at the counter and they call your name to serve your food. The pastries and breads are my favorite. They also have a solid matzoh ball soup. read more

Came in after the shamrock run and it was a healthy flow of people. There were yummy baked goods for sale along with a variety of locally sourced alcoholic beverages and non alcoholic beverages. I bought a coffee cake and a raspberry sour- both were super good! I'm assuming it was towards the end of their day because the coffee cake wasn't as fresh as I was expecting. still really good just a little stiffer than anticipated. The dining area was clean and welcoming and the staff were all friendly and efficient. I certainly plan to come by again next time I'm in the area! :) read more

What amazing bread and baked goods!! With all transparency, I didn't physically visit this awesome spot but I can personally say that their baked goods are fabulous!! Guests came over who had just come from Kingston's and they brought croissants, an entire loaf of sourdough bread and more. Everything was extremely fresh and basically we all devoured everything!! All were fresh hours later and we literally wanted more. A must try if and when in the area!! read more

Excellent!! I would return just to get a nice fresh chewy bagel again. This place is a hotspot in the area. Line got long soon after we arrived. They have to-go libations too!! Open area with large high top tables for fam and friends to gobble down delights. They have vegan options so my vegan cream cheese with smoked salmon and salt bagel it the whole spot!! My wife had a traditional breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon on a bagel which was superb! Go and go again. Highly recommended! read more

If you haven't been to Kingston Bread + Bar yet you are missing out. Upon walking in the front door, you are instantly transported to a cafe in lower Manhattan or Brooklyn in the best way possible (beanies included). Honestly, probably the best baked products locally. The bread is crusty like it should be. The house made rolls are soft for the sandwiches and the pastries flakey. Coffee is great and safe to say the same as Rough Draft (same owners). This breakfast sandwich with pastrami and a latka on board is next level delicious. Pistachio baklava pinwheels and almond croissants for all. Intriguing Za'atar and Mumbai bagel flavors with whitefish salad. They are closing those doors by the end of year and moving, but haven't announced where to yet. So get your sourdough before it's gone. Above Photography https://www.instagram.com/b.overly_delicious/-- in Kingston. read more

Kind Staff and marvelous selection! I love their sourdough baguette so much, and they make a "healthy" cookie which is so original and delicious. I've eaten it only twice but writing about it now, I crave..... read more

Kingston Bread+Bar on Front St. seems like it's consistently busy and packed the few times hubs and I have walked past. So it was finally worth coming here on a Sunday for Brunch and checking out the hype. Indoor design has an industrial-ish style, light cream color walls+white subway tiles, metal stools, varied hi-tops in a designated 'laptop' area, standard tables, bar seating, and window stool accommodations. Take your pick. Kingston B+B's offerings could probably save my life on a hangover and sort me out in seconds- but it's also fab on several other accounts. The menu has beverages, charcuterie+cheeses+ sandwiches, booze, etc- you won't go wrong. And, the folks make their own bread. The energy is super relax and it's a chilled-out cafe. After all, it's Kingston. Kingston B+B is renowned for bread and among other things. My 'Zay Zay' Smoked Salmon open bagel sandwich was heaven. The bagel has a light crisp on top and chewy inside- not the gummy-sticky type. Comforting and fantastic. Hubs liked his go-to BEC. Mimosa's needed a few more splashes of bubbly to make them pop. Other than that, expect great service here as the staff seem to love their job and I personally always find it makes a difference. read more

This place is legit! Food is great! Ruben was not soggy and on house made rye! 4.5 out of 5. In da club was stacked high and had great flavor! 4 out of 5. The hot cider with bourbon was spot on 5 out of 5. Service was good. You order at the counter then find a seat if available. Service is fast. 4 out of 5. The inside is cute and small. Not much seating especially on a busy day. I'm looking forward to getting more breads from here and trying other menu items. read more

One of my favorite local spots! The space is on the smaller and but can accommodate a group of 2-4 depending on what time you get there. Their espresso has a lot of depth and flavor. The maple latte is my personal favorite! The pastries and food items are quality and fresh! The lemon ricotta loaf and the cinnamon roll were some of my favorite pastry items! We also tried the lil lou sandwich with lox. It was a little overwhelming with the flavors. My biggest critique is they do not accept espresso orders over the phone or via online ordering. Food, drip coffee and tea can be ordered over the phone. I would give them 5 stars if it weren't for this inconvenience. read more

Delicious milk bread sandos -- we got the housemade corned beef and the smoked salmon and cream cheese, both of which were delectable! The moment you sink your teeth on these, you're thinking oh yeah, so glad I got this, it's that good and filling! We also got a yummy pumpkin spice latte made with housemade syrup as well as a smooth cortado. Come early. This place gets packed! I'm docking 1 star for the bathroom situation. After we were done eating, my mom needed to use the restroom, but was stopped by a female employee -- didn't catch her name, but she had short dirty blond/strawberry blond hair -- she told my mom someone was in there even though my mom had just seen someone leave the bathroom. So she waited of course until this employee told her she could go. My mom came back and told me there's only one bathroom in the back for all genders. When I tried to use the restroom, this same female employee told me someone was in the bathroom, which was a flat out lie as my mom literally had just come out of it. The employee didn't know my mom and I were related. So the employee told me, "Oh it's open now. You can go." When I asked her if there was a code or anything I needed for the bathroom, she said, and I quote, "Oh no, I ALREADY PUT THE CODE IN FOR YOU. YOU'RE GOOD." When I reached the bathroom, there was no place anywhere to punch in a code. In fact, the bathroom had a sliding door with a hook to latch on in order to securely lock the door in place. Why she said there was a code, I've no idea, but obviously this was a blatant lie. WHY was she being "bathroom police"? We were still customers at the time of use. She was even blocking the pathway from cash register to the point where you needed to pass to get to the bathroom. I understand no public restrooms to non-patrons, but hello, we were clearly customers who had sat and dined on breakfast sandos and coffee. If they don't want you to use the restroom, then put up a sign and make that clear. Otherwise, that female employee needs to take a chill pill. read more

I love cookies from Kingston Bread Bar. My partner and I come to/through Kingston a few times a year and always look forward to their cookies. The classic chocolate chip is very good but we always look forward to the miso tahini. It's on the top of my favorite cookie of all time list but unfortunately they don't always have it. I also really liked their lemon pistachio. The staff seems friendly, the space is a good size, they have a small selection of local goods, and there's a bathroom. read more

Food was alright, staff was friendly. Would have tried a cookie but a grilled cheese, fries and a an iced chai latte was already pushing $20. Could have been better for the cost. Curious about the no laptop policy when everyone in there was on their phones anyway. read more

Great bread, fantastic service! Always with innovative breads and their amazing Borekas to die for!! Kudos to all !

The pastries are super good. I got a pistachio baklava, almond croissant, and black sesame croissant roll thing. I appreciated that they weren't overly sweet. A friend purchased the sourdough pizza dough to make homemade, wood burned pizza and it was a hit! Sooo good! The egg sandwich was smaller than I expected but still good. Drinks wise I only tried the chai. It could be more chai and less milk. All in all. Good place for pastries and bread Oh! I noticed a sign that said "no laptops please" so not sure if it's a co-work friendly ambiance read more

The one star is just for their Matcha, which is way below par. Instead of u mixing the powder with hot water as is the normal custom, I saw her pick up a squeeze bottle full of Matcha that was already mixed with some liquid and pour into a shot glass and put that in my drink. Ugh read more

I woke up today anxious and covered in sweat the way I normally do. I decided I wanted coffee, breakfast, and to see Brett so I made a trip here. It was my first time here and the place was beautiful. I didn't know they had beer so I decided to get beer. Then I kept doing that for a couple hours. I'm depressed and the beer selection is fantastic. I got two sandwiches to go and I just ate them in bed and they were delicious. I love it! read more

I'm giving them an extra star. They seem to have found their footing and the last few times I've visited they have been more consistent. Their croissants and baked goods are the best in the area and believe me I've tried them all. I make the 30 minute drive here even though I have a new Artisanal bakery only five minutes away. But KBB is better. Their breads especially- they have the best naturally leavened breads around. Their baguette, upstate Levain and buckwheat and einkorn rounds only available on weekends are my favorite. I also love that the sell top quality French butter from Normandy, which is obviously the best pairing for their breads! They have also been able to improve and keep up on their ordering system, so I am able to place an online order and pick up the next day easily. Will continue to buy their breads and pastries! read more

"Hey this 9 dollar loaf of bread, can you slice it"? Wait what? Did they just say "no because it's too humid out today"? "Nope just stop talking. The pure audacity of the matter of fact attitude you have in your tone and statements really sums up this experience. YES--I am clearly the stupid one in this scenario for asking for such a ridiculous request" During covid a lot of places stopped slicing bread. I have gone into bakeries and the slicer has been broken. I have gone into bakeries later in the day and they have already cleaned the machines. -these are all legitimate and understandable reasons. But can't slice bread because of the humidity? @*#+=wtf?!?!?!! Now this isn't my first Rodeo. I am aware of the various processes and procedures with baking an artisanal bread and the moisture content in certain conditions will yield a result that is a high moisture and doughy or softer loaf of bread. In the rare occasion this happens the bread can get stuck in the machine or just not slice it correctly at all. But somehow the rest of the bakeries in high humidity regions of the world including New Orleans and France somehow figure a way to slice their fresh baked bread. But let's not compare them with national or intentional places because that's not really fair to this establishment. Let's compare them to another local bakery on the other side of Kingston with bread in its name as well. They somehow figured out a way to slice bread in high humidity. Must be some sort of Elon Musk SpaceX technology going on with that bread slicer. Now if this was just some random coffee house or cafe that thought it would be easy to start baking bread as a gimmick I can understand them not figuring all this into the equation. But "BREAD" is in the name here. Imagine a pizza place not slicing the pizza because Steve called out sick. False comparison so not applicable? Is there a comparison for not being capable of slicing bread in high humidity? Anyway ....the bread and pastries are good but overall it's a touristy Brooklyn wannabe hipster place that always has an excuse for why they can't do something normal restaurants do everyday. Btw this nonsense wouldn't last a second in actual Brooklyn. Try telling your landlord rent won't get paid because of the humidity. Just another side effect of global warning I suppose? Fortunately for Bread + Bar in places like Kingston this sort of ridiculousness is plausible. However gentrification is in pure bloom in this part of town and eventually this type of BS won't be acceptable much longer because rents will continue to rise and rise and rise like over-proofed sourdough. Maybe I am being harsh and my expectations of an establishment that prides itself on quality in its artisanal bread comes from privilege? ...........NAH!!!!! Y'all just wack! Find a way to slice the bread and in the rare occasions you can't. Be apologetic or sympathetic. Don't act like the customer demanded some ridiculous request by asking a bread place to slice the bread they bake and sell. I do however recommend this place. Just expect some sort of bizarre wtf nonsense to occur, so sit back and enjoy the show. As for this review: it's not about sliced bread. It's purely a metaphor for the type of experience you will have at this "bread bar". ...but also it's about not slicing bread. read more

Another time I really want to leave 3.5 stars.... 4 is just too much.... Ok, so actually if I could leave this review based solely on heir croissant, they would be more like 4.5 maybe even a 5. Haven't had a croissant like that since the old neighborhood favorite closed during the pandemic and it's hard to find a decent croissant. KBB makes a really really good croissant. I also have a thing for their milk buns. Especially in breakfast sandwich form. So good. Their coffee is fine, adequate. Their lowered than 4 star rating is only because of I wanted to burn my bread, I would burn it myself. Buying pre-burnt bread isn't my thing. Why is this a thing? Who told hipsters that burnt bread is delicious? They need to be dragged into the street and beaten in front of their mothers with stale burnt baguettes. (I am not implying that my baguette was stale, just using that as an example of punishment for a crime against humanity). Anyway, again, please don't pre-burn my sour dough or levain or anything else unless I ask you to. Please. Service is interesting there as well. Depending on the day one person is very happy to help you and another person blames me for their poor life choices I guess? I dunno. Odd. Have never been there in Bar format. Perhaps that is worth trying? Dunno, seems strange but I believe there is some kind of association with the book shop around the corner that is also a bar so there's that.... Toodles read more

The breads and pastries at Kingston Bread + Bar could hold their own among the best bakeries I've had the good fortune of visiting in New York City, San Francisco, and Paris. Having a bakery of this quality in the area makes a real difference in my household's quality of life. We haven't tried their dinners or beverages yet, but we've sampled most of the bakery items and their sandwiches. Everything has been delicious, though I feel that the breads (our favorites include the sourdough, levain, kamut, baguettes, and milk bread buns) and the croissants are the stars of the menu. I also really appreciate their safety-oriented COVID policies and their online preordering and pickup system, which we have often depended on for safe shopping. The staff has also been lovely. A family member of mine emailed them with a special request about pickup, which KB+B staff kindly accommodated. Check out the additional products in their small but meticulously curated pantry and fridge, which is the stuff of charcuterie dreams. The house-made country pâté, and the labneh and zaatar dip, are sublime. Just one request: please put the canalés on the preorder menu! read more

Fresh, tasty, clean, knockOut sandwiches. white tile. Good attitude. Eager to be. KingstonGood. Laughter drifting about.... Yes please.

Did not expect to find this gem in upstate NY! They offer fresh bagels on Saturdays and was fortunate enough to come on a Saturday. Bagels had a nice crisp shell with a chewy and delicate crumb on the inside with a wide variety of topping selections. Cream cheese spread selections were also amazing and made in house. My particular favorite combination was the everything bagel w scallion cream cheese. Croissants were amazing as well with a butter and flaky outside and soft inside. Personally I prefer the darker crust the majority of their pastries had as I believe the browning imparts more flavor. Highly recommend stopping by for breakfast if you happen to be driving by the Kingston area! read more

Love the fresh an rotating menu- easy and safe location with friendly staff. Excellent lunch and coffee/chat location!

Usually offers good bread. But is very wishy washy on their "old bread sales" prices. If it's a day old it should be discounted - period. (I have worked for almost four years in a bakery) This is being aggregated by the fact that I was not notified of this pricing structure when I asked for day old bread (with the specific intend to get a discount for something that is not fresh and won't last me as long). Had I been informed about this, I would have just bought the same bread *fresh* - for the *same price*. I feel that the omission of this fact is even done purposely to mislead customers. read more

Favorite upstate bagels. Sourdough and perfectly chewy. Wish they opened earlier in AM.
