Ordered my large, strong café latte first and received it last - after people who arrived and ordered 5min later. Coffee that was delivered was wrong and had to be made again, incurring an extra 5min wait. Latte that was finally delivered was good, but couldn't erase the bitter taste from the poor service and $2.90 price tag for the Babycino (not listed in menu, and 6 times higher than you pay in Melbourne for the same).
Like • Share • ReportThis was my morning coffee stop before work for quite some time in 2008/09 and even though it's out of my way now, I still return quite often. The product and service is consistently top notch, run by people who obviously take a lot of pride in their business.
Kingston Grind was the original store and has since spawned siblings Tonic, Group7 and most recently Harvest over in the city. Of all of them though, Kingston is still the only one that could be called a cafe rather than a mere coffee shop, featuring a kitchen and rather extensive breakfast-lunch menu.
The coffee seems to be the ma...
Been a while since I last visited. Still good, still fast, still friendly.
Coffee was better than I remembered, but I think it was just better textured milk.
I'm glad Canberra has a place that is so reliable.
Update - dropped down a notch.
Over the past few months I have been consistently underwhelmed by my once favourite haunt. I'm not saying the coffee is bad - its not! It's just not as good as it used to be. The coffee is not as rich as I remember.
I still go here for coffee but now I'll try a few other places as well.
