Meaning to write about KC Peaches for ages, when it came up on the Le Cool list last week I finally did it. I had even taken a photo of their lovelylovely coffee machine. Beginning life as a whole foods caterer, KC Peaches canteen-style restaurant popped up in pastel blue and mint green on Nassau Street early this summer. Occupying what used to be Fred Hanna's bookshop (note the lovely original mosaic on the threshold) it has rapidly gathered a devoted and apparently ravenous following. The idea is simple: queue up, pick a size, and cram your plate or take-away box with as much deliciousness as it can handle. The reasonably priced and generously sized portions bring to mind that slightly disturbing childhood adage "your eyes are bigger than your belly." The food is comforting, healthy, and very filling. This, and a prime location opposite Trinity's Nassau Street gate, makes for a noisy and bustling atmosphere, cafeteria-like and somehow American. Also, coffee obsessives will be pleased to know that the coffee is good, and their coffee machine is nothing short of beautiful. Our good friend OhGaz works there, if you see him say Hi!
