2. Café Pamenar
About
There is a new addition to Kensington Market’s coffee scene with the opening of Cafe Pamenar on Augusta Avenue’s northern edge. But despite the abundance of cafes in the market, we have a feeling this one will perform well due to its thoughtful design, front and back patios (which will open in the Spring), and dedication to artisanal coffee of the highest quality.
