For the last five years, Kingston Bread + Bar (KBB) has nourished locals and tourists in Uptown Kingston, with lines sometimes snaking out onto the sidewalk during peak hours. On Sunday, the business announced on Instagram that they were closing their 43 North Front St. location in January 2025 to enter a new chapter in the popular bakery’s story.
Originally founded by technologist-turned-baker Aaron Quint as the Kingston Bread Lab in the kitchen of Rough Draft, KBB is known for its mouthwatering artisanal baked goods, coffee, booze and do-it-yourself baking supplies. “We have come to believe there’s a bigger and better future for KBB, in a new space that highlights our strengths and lets us provide an even more welcoming and gratifying experience for everyone,” the post read.
“No, we’re not leaving Kingston,” the post continued. “No, our business isn’t in trouble, nor are we being pushed out. Yes, we’re doing what we can to transition with our current staff whom we (and you) love. Yes, we will still be baking for our wholesale partners and farmers markets. We don’t yet have all the answers, but we will do our best to do our best for our people, and yours.”
