I will definitely be hitting up this shop again!

Mostly canned/packaged goods, with some delicious local fresh cheeses near the back of the store. They also sell their own coffee (try the Kingston blend) and custom or pre-made gift baskets. They carry a huge selection of unique imported food items from legit Italian pasta to local hot sauce to candy from England. I always stop by when I am in town to pick up a neat goodie to take home ;)

I personally go there whenever I want to find a sweet gift for someone. You never know what you'll find.

Also, the aromas when you first walk in of coffee and chocolate are amazing.

A gem of a bakery and cafe in downtown Kingston!…read more My review is only for the bakery and store portion of Pan Chancho. I haven't had the chance to dine in the cafe yet, mostly because it gets extremely busy, especially on weekends. That said, the bakery/store has so many great finds. Their bread is excellent quality and a great value for the size, at around $5 for a small loaf and $8 for a larger one. My favorite is the olive rosemary sourdough, which is absolutely delicious. The saucisson sec is another great local find. The baked goods offer a nice rotating variety, with everything from Québec maple chômeurs to Italian maritozzi. On my last visit, I tried the Vietnamese coffee panna cotta, which was excellent. There's also an large gluten-free selection, ranging from breads to fresh-baked goods. The gluten-free scones are a particular standout. Beyond the food, Pan Chancho also has a great selection of kitchen and pantry-related items, including spices, pasta, sauces, hand towels, reusable bags, and more. It's the kind of place where you can go in for a loaf of bread and easily leave with a whole bag of interesting little things. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in downtown Kingston! The bakery alone is reason enough to visit, even if you don't get a chance to sit down at the cafe.

We scoped out a few places and landed here for a change from the typical pub vibe, Italian pasta joints around the corner, or chains like Jack Astor's. We beat the lunch crowd, arriving just before 2 PM. Service was great--we were seated immediately and ordered a few tapas: some roasted Brussels sprouts and a selection of meat options including Persian BBQ lamb, achiote grilled chicken, and sticky pork ribs. The chicken was my least favorite, though it wasn't bad. Everything else was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I'd really like to come back another time for proper drinks--they have an impressive wine list and a nice selection of sangrias that caught my eye. Definitely worth a return visit if you're passing through Kingston.

We were in town for a day and had just enjoyed the best dinner nearby along Brock. How lucky were we to find out there's a gelato spot down the street! They had multiple staff taking orders ahead to keep things moving, which was super smart! The fruit sortbettos are amazing. Lots of fresh ingredients used and a lovely refreshing flavour. We got the pear and also tried the mandarin flavours. I missed the pineapple one sadly but it sounded so good. We did get black currant but that one was a bit too sour for us. I love that they have fun fruit options other than the usual berries or citrus. On the gelato side, we got the maple walnut and earl grey. There were SOO many choices - it was hard to narrow it down. But wow was I really happy with the decisions we made. Honestly all so yummy, it's hard to just pick two. Best earl grey gelato I've ever had! Such a great, strong tea flavour. It's a super popular spot and it seems like they swap up the flavours once in a while. We're excited to stop by again next time we're in Kingston.

We didn't stay in so we wandered the store side a bit. There were a lot of ready-made meals like pies and sausage rolls and ice creams. You could pick up a tasty sweet treat, some freshly baked breads, and a lot of lovely dessert options. They also had some local goodies like County Bounty sodas, jams, teas, and others. I picked up a few local goodies and then a cinnamon bun (which was massive!) and a ginger cookie. The ginger cookies were delicious. Soft, molassas cookies with that chewy texture. The cinnamon bun was huge and more bread-y than sweet, which I really liked. It had such a great flavour. We wanted to grab some pies too but we couldn't bring them on the road with us. Definitely gotta bring a cooler next time we're heading into Kingston. The staff are also so friendly here and do their best to get through the crowd in an organized and fast way.

The store was very cute and the staff behind the counter friendly. They have vanilla based flavours and chocolate based along with other items. I ordered what I believe was called the White Knight. It tasted milk chocolate with white chocolate pieces. I had been to Mio Gelato a few steps down, so of course your brain is going to compare. This place didn't have benches outside or anywhere to sit as the gelato place did, so I had to walk down to the water and find a place, but it was nice to sit in the little park area under the trees in the shade. The ice cream was good, but it did have a very slight 'freezer' taste at the beginning. The white chocolate chunks were very good. The service wasn't as friendly at this store as Mio. Just basic, but good enough. The ice cream taste is creamier than the gelato, so it's always nice to have something new and different on a different day. One of the better ice cream shops I've visited, and I would definitely stop in again to try another flavour.
