Best bookstore in Kingston! I'm not a coffee drinker but I do love their hot chocolate. I order the same thing every time I stop by ( Small hot chocolate and a cookie) .This place is super cozy with an awesome selection of books. If you can find a seat on a less busy day your in luck! It's a chill place to meet up with friends or get some work done. Staff is always friendly and helpful. If your new to Kingston definitely check it out it's one of a kind.

Make sure you leave a tip when ordering take out coffee or the cashier will make a clear and verbal expression of frustration at you. And the coffee was water-y too

Great space, great vibe and yummy offerings. I went with a beet latte since I was driving through the area. My teen son had a peanut butter and something concoction and loved it. I loved people watching, and there was going to be a bit of live music. The bood selection looks fun and laptops are welcome. I will definitely come back with more time and intentions. Parking in this area is a tight and roads can be tricky, feed the meter or get the parking app. Lot's of other shops to check out as if you park at a distance.

They offer books for sale, but they don't actually support free speech. In my experience.
Pretty hip bookstore that has beer and coffee! Highly recommend the iced mocha, it's made with chocolate milk. The beer list is pretty good as well. Definitely has something for everyone to include sour beer. Staff is really friendly and happy to answer questions. They have tons of books in all genres. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you are in Kingston.

This place is so great. like so great we went back the next day kinda great. I highly recommend trying to go as early as possible as the afternoon hours on saturday proved this place the most popular spot in town. So many people in one space! and it's not small! The pastries were fantastic, cappuccino and tea were both delicious and well made. They can get backed up because they only have one cash register for food/drink - so prepare to wait a little. But there's no better place to do it since you are surrounded by interesting literature, ambiance, and a little cards/games selection to browse. Overall a cozy spot and a must see if you're in the Kingston area! Dog and kid friendly! :)
