Melbourne-inspired downtown Kingston cafe for all-day brunch, third-wave coffee, seasonal baked goods, cocktails, and a walk-in Princess Street rhythm.

Pan Chancho is Kingston's bakery-cafe institution: a Chez Piggy-born bread shop that grew into a Princess Street cafe, gourmet store and online bakery. Come for El Chancho, French levain sourdough, Chicken Bacolod, smoked-salmon rye and a pastry case with real pull.

A Kingston waterfront cafe at the Tett Centre, Juniper is strongest for house-made breakfast, sandwiches, salads, baked goods, high tea, local suppliers and patio time.

A west-end Kingston cafe from the Days on Front circle, Nora's leans on coffee, pastries, and a schiacciata sandwich board. It is strongest as a daytime stop: espresso drinks, almond croissants, and Prosciutto or Mortadella sandwiches without a full-service restaurant rhythm.
