Kines

Kines pairs thoughtful house fermentations and Wood and Co brews with a comfortable Brunswick loft feel. Slip past the blue roller door on Hope Street into a worn-in indie living room where vinyl turns on the turntable and bookshelves frame vintage sofas. Regulars park here on quiet mornings to hammer out admin tasks or take over the street-side patio tables with dogs in tow. The kitchen leans hard into funk and acidity, building grilled sandwiches that go well beyond ordinary cafe staples. Orders tend to center on the spicy kimchi toastie melted alongside sharp cheddar, or the garlic-loaded mushroom melt packed with hazelnuts. For a change of pace, hot Colombian Sonido arepas come griddled alongside warming bowls of spiced pumpkin soup.
