There are Some Great Coffee Shops in Kingston, Ontario!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wandering around downtown Kingston, there are a few great places for you to grab a hot drink – whether it’s coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or otherwise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s no secret that Eric has lived in Kingston for many years (and LOVES Kingston). That said, the coffee scene has changed quite a bit in recent years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the day, coffee downtown was just a handful of places and a few classics like Tim Hortons and Starbucks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, the coffee scene downtown has developed with a few more great places for you to check out. Also, there are obviously a few more coffee shops that we left out. Don’t worry, we will add to this post as we check them out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, below are a few of our favourite coffee shops in Kingston. So you know, we’ve left out Tim Hortons or Starbucks – but can find them on Princess Street if you’re in a pinch. For this article, we wanted to highlight a few more local places to grab that perfect Kingston coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Author’s Note: We haven’t yet been to Elm Cafe<\/a>, SENS Cafe<\/a>, or Coffee & Company<\/a> (surprisingly) – but they are other great places to check out if you’re looking for coffee in Kingston!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located right across from Springer Market Square (the public square behind City Hall), Kingston Coffee House<\/a> was a place that Eric always walked by but never ventured into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, that has changed! Inside, you get these great vibes of red brick and cozy tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The staff were super nice and the beverage menu is pretty big – including more artisan coffee blends if you are into that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa got a hot chocolate which was quite sweet but she loved it. Lacking caffeine, Eric just got a standard Americano which was pretty good! It was nice to just sit for a second since we had been running around doing errands downtown.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the summertime, you will see students studying there at the front tables by the window. They open the wooden window panels to allow for the air to flow in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That makes it a great spot to check out in the summer if you want to be around all the downtown Kingston action. We would recommend it!<\/p>\n\n\n

They also have an “uptown” location in a plaza on Princess Street near where Princess meets Sir John A MacDonald Blvd. It’s near the Loblaws at 1046 Princess St, Kingston, ON K7L 1H2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We went there once for sit-in drinks and it was a really nice atmosphere. It’s also handy if you have errands to run in that area\/plaza!<\/p>\n\n\n
