It is so easy to relax and simply enjoy a conversation (or get your Yelp review done ) in this relaxed space. On top of that, waitstaff are excellent, from seating thru to service.

We visited for takeout: two breakfast sandwiches (one as a combo with a coffee). The cafe has…read moregenuinely lovely vibes and beautiful decor, especially the abundant live plants. Unfortunately, our experience was tarnished by very poor and rude service. We were told the order would take 5-10 minutes, so we sat at an empty table. After a few minutes, a server approached us, abruptly asked we move to the 'communal table' because we had ordered takeout, and literally held out her hand to take my partner's coffee, stating no outside drinks were allowed. She took it and placed it behind the counter literally without any courtesy, please, or thank you. The person who took our original order never mentioned either the no-outside-drinks rule or any restrictions on where we could sit. After forcing us to move, the same server didn't even bring our food to the table, she just told us it was sitting on the counter. When we collected it, we only received the two breakfast sandwiches. The coffee that was included in the combo was completely missing (we didn't realize till after we left). We waited just under 25 minutes for a simple takeout order. The combination of uncommunicated rules, being demeaned and moved like we weren't welcome, the confiscation of the drink, and the incomplete order made the whole interaction feel disrespectful. The atmosphere is nice, but the rude service left such a bad impression... won't be back unfortunately.

I first would like to comment on how poorly designed the parking area is for this location. The…read moreparking lot is really small and really hard to get in and out of, especially since the lane also connects to the drive thru and becomes and issue if the place is busy. The place was busy for the holidays but the service was as good for being busy. My Seriously Strawberry Frappuccino was made deliciously. Sadly, their debit and credit machine was working but most people use a Starbucks card anyways. There was a decent amount of seats and chairs and the interior was clean considering how busy it was.

The drive-thru is efficient, as well. Parking here blows, though. There are only about 5 spots (one is wheelchair accessible) and they are awkward to park in. It's a small space, so I guess its set up as best possible. The other compromise evident here (and at all drive-thru Starbucks locations) is that the in-store service is sometimes compromised by the drive-thru promptness. However, I'll take Starbucks over Timmie's any day so I'll keep coming back here when I pass by.

We got the Turkey Focaccia, peach bbq pork buns and Mediterranean eggs. Everything we had tasted was super fresh and delicious. The soup of the day was tomato, and you could really tell it was made fresh and not from a can. Their bread and focaccia are also made in house, and the focaccia was soooo good super light, fluffy, and super flavorful. The staff was super quick and everything came out fairly quickly. Overall, everything tasted fresh and yummy, and I would definitely come back. I also want to try their coffee next time. They have a cute little shop connected to the café where you can buy their fresh bread and jams too.

They were willing to switch the bread out on the sandwich for a focaccia, which came with no additional cost. Our glasses of water were always filled, and the server was friendly and checked up on us throughout our meal. On a weekday afternoon, the place was still relatively busy with diners, but it wasn't loud or crowded at all. The space is large and well decorated; they even have a shelf with ten different toasters on it as decor! I've been here before and I would definitely come back again. The sandwiches are always fantastic.

I saw a…read morereview saying that it was far from the downtown core, but i chanced it anyways because the weather was nice and lets face it, everyone needs a walk. The walk was actually quite short, if you consider where the farmers market is located, its only about a 5 min walk away, 10 minutes if you're a really slow walker. The people behind the bar, i assume are the owners spoke French (and English), so it was fun to try an get my son to practice some of the French he's learned (he saw a sign that said Je parle Francais). But he was shy and said he forgot all his French even though school just ended the week before. I ordered a latte, and waited for my drink to be made. Things move slowly in the relaxed Parisian way (the only way I could describe it). So it took a bit of time for my coffee to be made. But hey its vacation time, what's the rush. On the bar, there was cocoa powder, cinnamon, liquid cane sugar, and honey for you to add to your drink. My latte was made well, nice and smooth with no acidic after tones. If anyone is in Kingston in the downton core, make sure to stop by here for a coffee. Prices were reasonable. There was plenty of seating, decor was rustic charm with exposed beams and exposed brick/rock work.
