Velo Republic
Velo recently switched off their free WiFi, so Im dropping a star. Bittersweet, round the corner, is a good alternative.
Consistently great cappuccino. They also do wicked things with their brownies on cooler mornings.
Velo uses Grinders coffee, and does the best double shots in Kingston. It is also less popular than some other cafes, so its often easy to get a table. Good opening hours, free wifi, and a stylish bike shop are all it favour.
Ok coffee. Free wifi. A couple of power points. And a bike shop.
Really great cappuccino. Good place to go on a Sunday to avoid the crowds also.
Had a lovely, smooth espresso this morning. Design mags and bicycles abound. Minus one star for using Papyrus for their logo.
First time I tried this place it was diabolical, but they’ve upped their game and the espresso is smooth, medium strong and served with good cheer. Recommended.
This cafe has only been around for a few months but has superb coffee, great atmosphere and friendly staff! Very cool antique bicycles and design magazines.

Coffee was very good. Hot chocolate much less so. Also, no cakes :(

Pretty acceptable espresso, served in one of those wire-handled glass cups, although the wait was long and the coffee was losing its crema by the time it arrived. Perhaps a better choice when it’s not busy.

Nothing to write home about and a little on the cold side.

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 …

Square Mile Cafe

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.
