Great wood fired pizza! Right in town only 2 minutes walk from our house. Open every day until late. It's a great go to when other food spots are closed mid week . Also serves breakfast. Pro tip- try a slice of cake from the cake cabinet at the back- they are decadent and delicious!

Located in stone building on oldest existing street corner in the US! Delicious craft beers, great coffee drinks poured by expert baristas and baked goods amidst a spectacular array of books for sale. Outside seating. This was once home to the Kingston Academy. Pro tip- try a meat or vegetable pie or sausage roll created by the famous Brooklyn based Down Under Bakery (DUB). I'm from New Zealand so maybe I'm biased but I love a hot crusty meat pie.
