Silo Bakery
Always, and still, my benchmark for good cappuccino. And pain au chocolat! Not quite 10 though, because sometimes you inexplicably get a wooden paddle pop stick rather than a teaspoon…
New barrista. Took ages and when I finally got my long machiatto it was a flat white?! Spewing cause the guy who normally makes coffee there served me and he’s a total champion :(
Amazing pain au chocolat, warm and busy atmosphere inside, but unpleasant beans and surly wait-staff left me reluctant to return.
Where Cornucopia fails, Silo excels. Kickass bread and pastries backed up by creamy coffee—make sure you make the old Italian guy make it for you.
On top of having awesome crème brulées and great bread, Silo serves a very wicked cappuccino. Nice and frothy and quite sweet. Delicious.

One of several cafés looking out onto green square. Plenty of outdoor seating for enjoying a nice day. Decent enough coffee and a mean foccacia.

Don’t bother. Terrible service, cheerful enough staff but slow slow slow. We waited 25 minutes for our 2 coffees to arrive and 35 minutes for our food. I won’t be going back.

Nothing to enthuse about, but nothing to complain about either - a decent flat white. There are other places in Kingston I’d rather go, but no need to fear for your tastebuds if there are no tables or too long a line for take-away elsewhere (which was …
