Yes it’s raining, raining, raining and a North Kitsap resident’s fancy turns to COFFEE! I have frequented all of the coffee businesses in Kingston and like them all. They all have special attributes and all work hard at what they do.
The Cup & Muffin has absolutely the nicest people who always greet you, are upbeat, and concerned about customer service. They serve Caffe Vita coffee and breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Their menu is listed on their website, www.cupandmuffin.com. I especially enjoyed having lunch with friends under the umbrellas on their patio, plus they were well-mannered doggie friendly. What wonderful summer fun!
Just across the street in the shopping center is another town favorite, Cuppa Bella Espresso. This time of year it is warm and cozy inside usually with several other customers which is great for conversation, all in addition to the great lattes and baked goods.
The Cuppa Bella has been owned for the past 2 years by Marcus and Tonya Croman who previously donated to the community with their Kingston Rescue Mission. They have an amazing life story which you can read about at www.indiegogo.com/cuppabella. Thank goodness we have people in our community who believe in doing business a little differently.
If you only have time for a “coffee on the go” then Jumpin’ Java makes for an easy stop. It is located in front of the Arco gas station.
