A local cafe, the way they used to be
“I decided to visit the best rated cafe in Kingston and I am so glad I did. I sat outside in the sun and was greeted by Peter, the owner, who was lovely and knew all the locals by name! I ordered a flat white and a full English (which Peter altered to get some hash browns on the plate). The food came quickly and was spot on for a Friday morning in the sun! This little gem gives off the vibe of the local cafe that has been replaced by so many charmless and overpriced gentrifying chains. You can tell Peter cares about his regulars and newcomers alike, but I for one can’t wait to become a regular here!”
