"An adorably charming cafe located in Kingston’s heart (downtown). This spot offers a massive seating area for students, workers and best pals alike, with a vast array of scrumptious treats including sandwiches, salads and baked goods. We wish you luck in your journey to fight the ‘CRAVE-ings’ for sweet treats while you order yourself a warm cup of java."

"Located right on Princess Street about halfway down towards the water, CRAVE opened not too many years ago and has left its mark on Kingston coffee culture. The place is massive – making it a hub for students to study in. Don’t be scared of them, though – they just need a hot drink, a plug, and some WiFi and they will generally leave you alone!"
