Kingston Food Diaries | Eat Happy Even When Busy

✅ UNION ⭐⭐⭐ Almost all 3 stars are for their Fish Taco! The fried fish isn't crispy in the traditional way, but it's fresh, non-fishy, and paired with a light, tasty sauce. Skip the Crispy Tofu (too tough) and the underwhelming "mini dough lumps" dish. ✅ Burning Grill ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A hidden Korean gem slightly outside downtown! Their cheese hotpot is a must-try—think chewy rice cakes + tender chicken smothered in savory sauce, then dipped in molten cheese 🤤. Also, don’t miss the crispy seaweed-wrapped fried balls (stuffed with glass noodles)—uniquely delicious! ✅ CRAVE ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The hottest cafe in downtown Kingston (and my happy place)! Lines get long, so go early. Coffee: Solid but leans sweet Pastries: Almost all hits (except the overly sweet yellow tart) Must-tries: Cinnamon rolls (even non-cinnamon lovers are tempted!), hefty bagel sandwiches ✅ Balzac's ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My secret study spot (if you snag a table—they’re tiny!). Drinks: Matcha & chai lattes are winners Sweets: Less sugary than Crave’s, just right 📍 All in Kingston, ON #CanadianEats #KingstonFoodie #CafeHopping #StudentLife #FoodieFinds
