But sadly, their matcha is genuinely terrible. I'd get it if it was cheap matcha, but it was $7.25 just for very poor quality matcha. They don't have bagels. It did take a while (over 15 minutes) for just a bacon egg and cheese and a baguette with cream cheese... I've gotten it at places a lot faster before. It also wasn't much sandwich for the price I paid, and I had to put the ketchup on myself bc they wouldn't do it... the sandwich itself was good though, and I really liked the texture and taste of the bread they used. I won't be coming back but I can't say this place is *bad*.

They had a good amount of seating (including both in the coffee area as well as surrounding the books). The service was friendly and they had a really good variety of books to choose from. I'd come here all the time if I lived close by.

I fucking love this place…read more The service is decent usually, but the 5 stars are for their food and environment. I wish they had more separate tables and chairs bc it gets packed but this is a nice place to kill some time, come w ur partner, or just do some work. Their drinks are amazing! If I lived nearby I would come here every week to get their matcha's. Their food is just as good! I LOVE their hand pies!! I have not tried one that wasn't good. Their pastries are good quality too. If you've never been here idk what you're waiting for.

Little options: no decaf, only one alternative milk choice. I opted for the mocha and I will say it was delicious. I ordered a small and was given a large cup but she explained she ran out of small cups so it's a small size in a large cup. Not an issue, but all of it together left an unpleasant taste. Mocha was yummy, but not sure it was tasty enough for me to return to this unwelcoming space.

I asked for a bowl and she very abruptly expressed that she was only doing a limited menu today, no bowls. She could make an egg and cheese sandwhich and it would be 10 minutes. I said I was willing to come back and ordered the sandwhich. As I stepped away, I watched the woman behind the counter go back to her phone. No wonder the place is always empty. There was NOTHING welcoming about the experience. If I wasn't so darn hungry, I would have said "forget it." The sandwhich itself was really good, and a great price (compared to the rest of uptown Kingston), which I appreciated. She thanked me for coming back for the sandwhich and that was that. Really too bad the place isn't more welcoming. They'd have more customers from nearby offices, I'm sure.

Their handmade drinks are quite good, and the coffee is well pulled. Strong without any bitterness. I haven't tried the food yet, but they sounded good so I'll have to go back. Oh, there's a bathroom in the antique shop. It's clean. Should I just go around reviewing public bathrooms lol? I was told that you can use the U driveway up front as a kind of drive thru? But there is parking on the antique shop side. It's a great location because you can walk around the shop while you wait for your drink - they have a cool selection if a variety of antiques. The only annoying thing is if you're going southbound, and you want to get back on the southbound side after. That left turn sucks.

For quick in and outs to grab coffee, you can pull into the wrap around driveway, or there is additional parking in the back. Every single drink on the menu is made to perfection and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients used. Some ingredients are made in haus! Anthony is the heart and soul behind the carefully curated Arios Coffeehaus. He is always welcoming and very friendly. We also love when his mom is filling in for him! The vibe is very classy, easy going and makes me feel like I'm in a little Italian cafe. My favorite drink is the midnight coconut. Collectively between myself, my boyfriend, and cousin we have tried every drink on the menu and every one of them hits the spot every time. We love the loyalty cards and make sure we always have ours in the car. This is my favorite coffee spot ever so far. I love the emphasis on local here. You can't help but to be aware of all the love and care that is continually poured into Arios. The key to your success will be to always remember that love and intention are the secret ingredients to anything good in life. Thank you for every wonderful visit!
