    Immmm baaaaack! This time I tried the BEC on a bagel and I think that will forever be my order! The bagel has a perfect crunch while also being soft on the inside. We tried the berry smoothie and this time I got an iced caramel with oat milk and we really enjoyed both. Again I'll add that I hope they come up with a rewards system as I am a frequent costumer!

    Avocado toast

    Once I started to eat this avocado toast, I decided to take a picture! Delicious, different combination of flavors that worked well. Extremely fresh and flavorful. Will order again sometime soon.

    Menu up above and specials on a separate board.

    Just what the town needed. Completely on point with how people want to eat these days in the type of ambience people appreciate these days. A popular school lunch spot as shown in the photos. Know that lunch options are offered with sides. On your first visit you may not know you will be charged extra for the sides. Even so, the additional $2 for the Brussels sprouts was definitely worth it. Weekend brunch crowd is more families, albeit chic weekender families. Baked goods made in house. A great spot.

    Good coffee. Delicious bread. Outdoor tables. Charming town. Clean public bathrooms.

    Wilson's is on the other side of House of Books (opposite JP Gifford), where an antique shop used to be. It is unrecognizable, the ceilings are very high and the ambiance is very woodsy. There's a large fireplace, and seating inside and outside. There are baked goods from macarons to savory scones available in the two cases by the register, but they have a kitchen as well. You do order at the register. My savory scone was delicious - great flavor, and not too crazy crumbly to cause a mess. I look forward to going back to try their breakfast all day!

    Wonderful lox and chikve cream cheese on a bagel.

    This is a wonderful new addition to the restaurants and cafes available in Kent, CT. I have watched from the outside during the past two years as the renovation of this historic building has transformed the space. Walking into the cafe, the high ceilings are awesome and provide an airy but welcoming atmosphere. The coffee is great. I enjoyed a cappuccino that had beautiful frothy milk and a lovely rich body. The quality of the food is outstanding. We had bagel sandwiches and they were chock-full of ingredients. The bagels were light on the inside and generous with the spices and flavors. The mission of the cafe is laudable. I was surprised that it wasn't mentioned on the menu but on the website there is an explanation. When I asked, one of the waitstaff explained that the cafe is designed as a place for those in recovery to be able to work. It was started by High Watch Recovery Center, which has been in operation in Kent since the 1940s. Online one learns that alumni of High Watch are being employed to "gain valuable work experience and learn to live free of addiction while supported by other employees who have lived through and are conquering the same challenges." I can't wait to go back and enjoy more of the baked goods. The breads look fantastic. My hat off to the decision to open early (7 am) and stay open until 4. Some of the town's other establishments aren't so generous with their availability.

    I thought this place was so cute! Last time I was in Kent this place was not here. There are not too many cafe food options in Kent. We ordered the turkey club panini and it was delicious. A little on the smaller side. The cafe is very cozy. I liked all the wood. There is not too much indoor seating. Just 2 tables that can fit about 2 couples each. And then there is a large couch with 2 side chairs with a table. Great stop for quick food if you're in the area.

    Herb Roasted Chicken Panini
    Ken S.

    Really good food! We got the Grilled 3 Cheese sandwich and the Herb Roasted Chicken Panini. Both were hot, fresh, and delicious. I would have given 5 stars but the prices are a little steep. But, as they say, you get what you pay for. Definitely recommend this place.

    Egg salad sandwich on rye toast with a side salad and an unsweetened ice tea...delicious!!

    Took about 30 minutes to get two iced coffees and two egg sandwiches but they were yummy.

    As an Elite Yelper, I really enjoyed our first visit to Kingsley Tavern…read more From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming. The side entrance leads to a cozy outdoor lounge with couches and string lights that immediately set the tone. We were greeted warmly, seated quickly, and our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The food was excellent. The stuffed squash blossoms were absolutely delicious, I could have ordered another plate! I also had the meatloaf with veggies and mashed potatoes , which was flavorful and perfectly cooked. My husband ordered the Kingsley Burger and loved it. The only miss for me was the watermelon drink. It looked refreshing, but it tasted more like sparkling seltzer water than the fruity drink I was expecting. My only criticism is something I wish all restaurants would change: calculating suggested tip percentages after tax instead of before tax. It can make it seem like you're tipping less than you actually are. Overall, the food, service, and ambiance were wonderful, and we'd definitely come back. Worth the drive to Kent!

    My first visit to Kingsley came this week during a two-day off-site business meeting in town. A…read morefriend who was a former employee had been urging me for years to try it, however, I'm typically only in Kent for lunch, and too anxious to get home when the tavern opens at 4pm. I am thrilled to have finally had the opportunity! The feel of the place is precisely what you would imagine in Kent. Traditional old-style dark wood, a sense of community, perfect decor to harken back to the days of stage coaches and taverns being the center of a town's social scene. Service was excellent. We never wanted for anything - but yet were not bombarded or crowded in the quaint dining room setting. The best and most important part of our meal was - well - the food. The menu is suitable for literally any dietary need without compromising their spin on elevated tavern/comfort food. Ample appetizers, interesting salads, tacos, meat/non-meat and even vegan options abound - all with terrific portion size and execution. Our entire group was pleased (and some are persnickety). Very much looking forward to returning and grateful they are in our great town.
