Steps from the waterfront, Pan Chancho is a beloved bakery and café in downtown Kingston. A true Kingston gem, everything is made from scratch and baked fresh daily, with thoughtful options for everyone: vegan, gluten-free, sweet or savoury! Take a soup to go, or take a seat in their cozy café for brunch. We recommend one of their house‑made cranberry scones. The atmosphere is inviting, and it is a popular spot for a warm brunch or a quick bite to go.
