Wow, it has been a while since I have such a good cup of coffee like this! African blend of beans, perfect temperature, latte art, great service and the sun was out! I think this has now become my favourite coffee shop.

Such a great atmosphere and packed! Clearly very popular amongst Kingston-ers. If only it was closer to home :)

A very cool coffee shop with gkos service its a small space cosy and good lighting and decor.

Its good for couples, singkes or small families.as the vibe is good.

The coffee ia very good, a bit strong so you may want to have more hot water. It isnt cheap... £3.80 for coffee and £6.95 for a smoothie so dont look at the price when ordering.

I enjoyed it and would return

Nice place for a lunch. Unfortunately they don't make eggs on toast anymore, but the sandwiches and smoothies were good.

I have been visiting this shop regularly as a local. The coffee quality is superb, and the female staff lovely! However most of the male staff I have encountered seem not that willing to help and give the impression of being too busy to deal with more customers. That is a put off for me unfortunately.

Good coffee, poor food options and 50/50 staff.
Smoothies and toasted sandwiches were great, but according to the manager they don’t do food/brunch anymore which is a shame.
Girlfriend tried to ask for some butter for her banana bread, but was advised they didn’t even have this.
American barista was lovely and super friendly though.

Amazing coffee texture and healthy eggs benedict. Super decor and friendly staff today. First time in Kingston but won’t be the last time to visit here 👊🏼 …a local hero is right

A lovely place, perfectly located near the busy centre of Kingston but in a small, quiet street. Ideal for times when you need a little break, even or especially alone. The coffees are always excellent and there is a choice of various "free from" cakes that are mostly made in the premises.
Although always very busy, the staff are kind, patient, friendly and warm. The only thing that could be improved is the food menu; offering vegan sandwiches and/or simple salads would be welcomed by many of us, I am sure. Some home-made yoghurt and dairy-free pots with fruits and other toppings would be fantastic too.
