NORTHSIDE espresso + kitchen

From the moment we walked in, I was impressed. The service is fast, thorough, and so friendly, we felt so taken care of.

The coffee is incredible, we got the grapefruit coldbrew and a flat white and both were delicious and beautifully made.

We got a ton of food and if it weren’t for how full we were (the portion sizes are great) we would have ordered even more.

Thank you for a wonderful experience, what a gem :)

The new location is great. Stopped in for lunch last week when in Kingston and OMG the steak sandwich which was the special that day was amazing! Anything I have ever ate here has been delicious. One of my fav places to enjoy a meal at when in Kingston. The staff are always amazing as well.

A modern twist on Eggs and Benedict with hollandaise sauce on latkes that failed to win over the taste buds of my palate. I evaluate a breakfast/ café establishment based on how well a classic Eggs n Benny is presented and was surprised with the poor flavouring. The paired hot chocolate came with little marshmallows. While a nice touch and served as the preferred mid-sweet beverage it should taste like, it lacked heat: a hot chocolate should be hot, not barely luke warm when served to the customer.


Return visit: unsatisfactory for return
Other Highlights: friendly service, street-side patio, dog friendly if eating on the patio

Best Italian sandwich this side of Roma!

Attended a small business seminat of 10 or so folks that had lunch catered by these folks. Wow., is the word to describe it.

Selection of deserts/pastries were outstanding.

Highly recommend.

The decor was modern and fresh. Acoustics were not great making it very loud inside. No guest wifi which I’ve become accustomed to at any cafe. Tried to order poached eggs cooked to medium but was refused. They only offer soft or hard poached - citing subjective inconsistency for medium eggs. Imagine going to a steak restaurant and they only offer rare or well done. Toast had nice texture but on the greasy side. They did however set the hollandaise sauce on the side as requested. No Americanos, only long blacks.

They told us a 25 minute wait for food, and it was 45 minutes. There was no communication around the delay. My meal (Tim’s Benny) was very mediocre. Other food looked great, but I would not order this meal. Overall not a good experience.

My favourite - iced mocha. Northside's new location is bright and beautiful. The food is delicious. The poached eggs were done perfectly on sour dough toast with halloumi and sauted cherry tomatoes and side of garden greens. Totally 5 stars!

Unusual, flavourful breakfast, delicious. Lovely airy setting, Scandinavian style with wood and light, Aussie coffee combos.
