Such a GREAT find while strolling Princess Street in Kingston. We had a busy afternoon of exploring…read moreand walking all over Kingstong and after hearing about the Lemon Drop coffee from our friends Andrea and Jonny. We HAD to make BSE a definite stop to check out. Surprisingly when we got there this was more than a coffee shop for sure, it was such a time to see the concept of this place; a hybrid between Skate Shop + Coffee Shop. Definitely a creative merge of two different concepts and what a VIBE! They have an incredible collection of skate boards, clothing and foot wear... as well as a SICK little coffee shop in the middle of it. Make sure if you are here to try their Lemon Drop. This was our first time having a drink like this and let me tell you the idea of Lemonade and coffee together have never crossed my mind, but WOW! It was so refreshing, yet a great deal of energy boost. Enjoyed better with their delicious matcha cookie and nutella tart. Service was superb! It felt like meeting a new friend for the first time and hitting it off naturally. What a great way to make someone feel welcome to their establishment, also ask for their recommendations! Some of us tried different drinks too, like their Thai iced coffee and we were so pleased with the recommendation. After we all grabbed our coffees, we noticed they had a patio in the back, so we decided to chill there and take a break before continuing with our day. It was such a quirky and cali warm vibe there, we almost wanted to stay all afternoon!! We loved this place so much, we had to come back again before we headed back to Toronto on Sunday for a second round of their Lemon Drop! I still think about it to this day. Greg and I tried recreating it at home, so from now on this drink will forever remind us of BSE.

The coffee is also amazing and it's served by some personable and friendly baristas that are very knowledgeable about the store's products. They treat customers with such love and respect that it makes such a difference. The backyard patio is a lovely space to sit and enjoy your coffee & treats when it's warm out. And don't forget to check out their collection of shoes & apparel that tends to sell out pretty quickly!

All the sporting goods any outdoorsmen & women need in one location- fishing, hunting (bow or long…read moregun), archery and even target practice with a large air-soft inventory. Lots of selection - brand names incl Canadian products. Additional equipment and gear including various size and types of knives. Value is competitive with and sometimes even better than Canadian Tire (the fishing stuff is all I have experience with). But its the service you go for, everyone is knowledgeable & friendly. I didn't like the 2 fishing combos presented to me, so they switched the reel I liked onto the rod I liked- no price change charged even there was a higher difference. A hidden gem in plain view in Kingston.

Trailhead is one of the BEST Kingston businesses on Princess street. I'm not a frequent customer…read morehere, probably because I like to think I'm outdoorsy, but really I'm a outdoorsy-wannabe, but every time I do visit Trailhead I have such a great experience. First off, the staff are extremely helpful. They don't get all up in your business when you browse, but when you need help or want to ask questions, they've got the knowledge and they love to share it. Everyone who works here is a clear sporting enthusiast, and it shows through in product knowledge and passion for where they work. Second, they really want their customers to love and enjoy the outdoors as much as they do. Case in point, I was with a friend who wanted to rent skates recently, but we arrived at the store at the exact time they were closing up shop for the day. Defeated, we stood outside, wondering if there were any other solutions nearby (nope). One of the staff members noticed and came out saying, "I know exactly what you need - Skates! - and we're going to make sure you can go skating today!" We had rental skares within 5 minutes and were happily off to the rink. Taking the time to serve us even though they were close is a small gesture, but one that I won't soon forget. I will however try to make it there during operating hours. :)

Mike is an extremely good boot fitter and knows more about ski equipment than just about anyone I've met. The quality of advice you will receive at a big chain stores doesn't even come close. Perhaps some of his staff should have had more training in the art of customer service before Grant M. and Lorra D. walked in. But Lorra D. could not have been speaking to the owner because Mike is not a "she". There are a couple of ski shops near Jay Peak that I can recommend. But if you want to stay close to home, Sepp's is the place.

When--after a few days--something new already showed significant wear, they would not entertain the idea of refunding or replacing. This man was rude, unhelpful, and arrogant. I will never shop here again. I also second the other reviews about not setting things up or being helpful in any way. After buying a new bike, they still expect you to spend $100 fitting it! Ridiculous. I think the only way they stay in business is by overpricing everything.

This place will sell you a bike and but does not setup the bike for you properly. Spending this…read moremuch money on a product, you would figure that they would properly check and adjust your equipment. It is just get your money. We bought a child seat, had them install and it was incorrect (just sitting on the rear wheel???), then they go on to say that maybe they don't have the correct mount but aren't sure. Let's be clear here: They are selling equipment for kids under 3 for bikes and don't know how to properly install or which bikes they work on (and I bought the bike from them at the same time!). This is unprofessional and not safe for kids.

I want people to know that the founder of this company has stated that the unacceptably 'sheer'…read morefabric of recent products is merely a sign that the consumer is too large to fit into them (he says the same of the recent pilling of fabric that never happened when the company first started). [The company has come under fire lately for the poor quality of its products]. He also has stated that he is not interested in selling to anyone who is larger than a size 12, clearly sending a message to the majority of Canadian women (the average size is 14) that they are 'not fit enough' to wear clothing to supposedly get 'fit' in. So, in essence, if you shop here, you are supporting a company whose founder blames his own mistakes in judgement on women who are larger than a size 12 for his products' inadequacies. Guess what? Women who are size 14 can read and we also can stop shopping at his stores. I have certainly made that decision. SEE: http://bc.ctvnews.ca/lululemon-founder-blames-women-s-bodies-for-pants-problems-1.1531351 If you care about women's rights and about body image issues, shopping here is like shooting yourself and your values in the foot, so to speak. In the past, I have purchased products from this local retailer because my daughters wanted them. I once asked a woman there to hold a $150 jacket until I could come back a few hours later and get it for my daughter, who was with me at the time. It was to be a Christmas present and I didn't want to spoil the surprise. The cashier was snotty and said that they did not 'hold' things for people. The way she said it made me feel like she didn't think I was really going to buy it. Nice! :( I did come back the next day and buy it, but have NEVER shopped there again. There are a lot of great sportswear companies to buy from in Canada. Lululemon is no longer a positive store, or a positive company. [Shopping nearly anywhere else would be better than Lululemon.] Do you really want to spend your money at a place where the founder states that they are not in the business of selling to women "whose thighs rub together"(as if our thighs are the REASON his clothing sucks). Insulting women's bodies is the wrong way to counter complaints about products that have been recalled due to quality problems. Don't give them another dollar of your money.
