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.

They use very good espresso and make a great latte. You can order drinks to go, very good ambiance…read moreand vibe s?

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.

Staff was attentive, the restaurant could seat plenty of people and had a combination of booth, tables, etc. Even though it was a Friday afternoon, they had patrons come and go, and you can tell that some were regulars. We ordered: - Hot Honey Chicken Benedict: Shaved crispy chicken tossed in hot honey; the chicken was a bit dry, but lots of protein - Pancake Stack: 2 eggs served with 2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 pancakes & home fries; the pancakes were thick, fluffy, and large Overall, great local place, everything came out hot and fast and exactly to order (eggs). The location is also great, right near the highway. Will stop by again in future when heading to/passing by Kingston.

There are 3 entrances to this place, and it looked very small from the back entrance we took. We…read moreinitially thought there were no seats, but that was wrong; further inspection lead us right inside where there were 3 or 4 tables around the cash and serving area. Further inspection showed that there was lots more seating upstairs, if you can handle climbing up. And if you walk around a bit, there is more seating, along with another entrance, in front of the bakery side. So it's much bigger than it looks from the outside. Apparently they also have seating outside in the summer. The coffee we had was tasty enough; they sell you the cup and you fill it yourself. And the service was pleasant enough. The big downer for me was the single toilet - in the basement!! And the soaked lonely roll of TP - the only roll available :-( Thank goodness for the PSW who was with the disabled person waiting for me to finish up down there! She got him downstairs and took care of him, and then back up. Some heroes don't wear capes that you can see!

I was looking for a coffee place for a mid afternoon pick me up and i found Sens on Yelp. 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.
