This location is always busy, full of people sitting in the café either catching up with one another, studying or even just casually surfing the internet and enjoying their coffee and food. This is extremely convenient for students who go to Queens because its so close to campus that most likely you will walk pass by on the way to school. The appearance of the Starbucks is very old school, mainly out of brick on the outside. The greyish color fits into Kingston very much. There’s a few parking spots on the side of the building as well as a patio for you to enjoy in on sunny days. The staff inside are very friendly and always carries a smile with positive attitude. Mostly it’s students that work at this location. They’re service is fast and quick to accommodate the amount of people coming in to order. The interior overall looks clean and all necessities are stocked. The drinks they make are up to par, except maybe once in awhile they give you funny names. I’ll be coming back to this one, especially on a sunny day sitting out on the patio.

Great location for this Starbucks. The building gives it an awesome and vintage look! Parking spaces on 3 sides of the building and a lot of seating. If all the tables are full(usually) there is 2 counters with bar stools to sit. Usual fast and friendly service that you expect from Starbucks. Very nice voyage look inside with exposed brick and big windows with 20 foot ceiling, really nice old building converted to a coffee shop.

I probably go to this Starbucks most often. It’s never empty when I visit and I’m not surprised because it’s always a good experience when I go there. The atmosphere is very warming and comfortable. I’m not one to sit down in a Starbucks because I’m always on the go, but this Starbucks makes me want to sit down. The interior of the building is beautiful because it’s limestone. As for the staff their always pleasant and helpful. If you don’t know something they are more than happy to help, which I find absolutely great. Overall, this is my favourite Starbucks in Kingston by far. I have nothing bad nor constructive to say!

Though it is a little overpriced, at this location, the service is friendly, quick, and the products are always delicious. You know what you’re getting yourself into when you go to a Starbucks. Sometimes it’s just little extra treat that I need when I’m walking to work.

Love this location, don’t always love the speed of service. The patio is fantastically situated. It’s on a busy intersection, but off the road so you can enjoy a breeze, people watching and get some work done if that’s your thing. The interior is gorgeous with the exposed limestone and the staff are all very friendly. As I mentioned above, it’s not the fastest Starbucks, so just be aware of that going in — it’s also a very busy Starbucks, too. Parking is limited and there isn’t a bike rack, which is too bad. But, there are a few spots to lock up that work out in lieu of a rack.(I get that’s more of a city issue, but it’s worth a mention to those on their bikes!)

This is a nice Starbucks, great staff, cozy. when it’s not filled with all the students. Come at quarter after or quarter to and it’s not as busy: P. This morning I got a sample coffee while waiting for my coffee, how awesome.

Pricey, but when you need coffee STAT, you really can’t go wrong. The convenience of free Wi-Fi makes it all the more appealing. The baristas here were friendly and accommodating and they accepted American currency.

Of the three downtown Starbucks, this one is perhaps one of the busiest and open the latest, 11PM everyday. Free parking, a couple patio tables out front and a constant stream of University students makes this a great place to meet friends and enjoy the crowd. Being busier, you’re likely waiting in line a bit and limited in terms of seating. There is a comfy couch for lounging indoors. Overall, the best local of the three to relax and enjoy the campus feel.
