Kienna Cafe is just what the Kensington Doctor* ordered. It's a social space for getting together for conversation over a cup of everyone's favourite caffeinated beverage. Unlike Higher Ground across the street, Kienna is a local roaster so they're a little more into the coffee side of things and a little less into the food. They currently have a small selection of muffins and scones, but a good chat with the very friendly owner, Rob, has told me that they will be including some tasty takeaway items very soon.
There's a sunny window bar along the front which is perfect for people watching or plunking down with your laptop for a few. Some couches toward the back make a comfortable setting for some leisurely chats.
The Kensington Doctor is purely fictional. If there is a real "Kensington Doctor" he/she did not actually order Kienna Cafe, and does not necessarily endorse this review... Although they should!
