Coin De Paris

You'll find Coin De Paris tucked away on Fife Road, that pleasant stretch between the town centre and the river where Kingston's quieter side reveals itself. This is the kind of place where regulars know the staff by name and the espresso comes without any faffing about. The vibe is authentically unpretentious—all mismatched chairs, reasonable prices, and a no-nonsense approach to doing breakfast properly. It's the café you'd stumble into in the 11e arrondissement, not some Instagram-ready pastiche of one. Perfect for catching up with someone over a proper coffee, or just sitting with a newspaper before heading into town.
