Nestled in downtown Kingston, you can try classics like their Avo Smash (a whole smashed avocado with feta, mint, lemon + thai chilli on grilled sourdough) or branch out and try something new like Spiced Steel Cut Oats (served warm with sweet potato + white cholocate puree, topped with seeded muesli, cacao nibs + nashi pear).
