    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.

    BSE is a Skateboard & Apparel shop with an amazing coffee shop to boot. They have the most…read moredelicious savoury & sweet treats for any time of the day that always taste fresh. 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!

    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. :)

    I'll never step foot into trail head again. While discussing with the manager why the store refuses…read moreto take a visa debit card (he insisted that the bank charges too much although I haven't been refused in any other stores) I over heard the a sales clerk try to sell bear spray to a lady who was afraid of dogs. I found the staff & management unhelpful and unfriendly and the prices high. I go to Bushtaka now for more reasonable prices and friendly customer service.
