Okay, this is a review solely for the new bald manager. Every barista who works here is so so lovely and makes the coffee incredible, my espresso is never burnt and I hope all of their pillows are always cold and their coffee always warm because finding non burnt espresso in this town is a nightmare.
BUT ever since new manager came in, it is obvious that they are fighting for their lives to maintain quality because he continually punches in orders wrong, not to mention that he under fills the drinks by a really noticeable amount. Sir, if you stopped getting drinks wrong and dumping them out and instead filled people’s lattes all the way up you would still have the same profit margin 🫶
Anyways, I know the employees there can’t say anything because he’s their boss so consider this my contribution to the good fight. Sincerely, a regular.

Popular spot with a nice atmosphere, friendly service, decent food. Never been a fan of their coffee though.

Great Coffee, Nice Ambiance. Super Location on Princess Street, Downtown Kingston. My favourite is their cappuccino, so good!

Ayaka

Amazing staff, ambience and coffee quality (more on the chocolatey espresso side of things here). Would really really like to have an afrogato in their menu.

To store owner/manager:
Please teach your baristas to pull a normale espresso shot. I was told they can only pull ristretto or lungo.

Friendly, warm, kind staff. Wonderful hot beverage suggestion to get me through the day. Beautiful "latte" artist (not just a barista)!

막사는거야??

The atmosphere was good. The soy latte felt bland, but it probably wasn't the original taste...

A cosy spot in downtown Kingston!
Very bright & lots of spots to sit & people watch
A bit on the pricey side for an Americano, hot chocolate, muffin & scone
Scone & muffin were dry & not very flavourful
Great service!
