“Wanna meet at Kingdom?” Having hit such heights of popularity among Adelaide’s foodies that it’s scored Adele, Elton and Shakespeare one-name-fame, My Kingdom for a Horse now has three cafés for lovers of its multi-award-winning bites and bevvies to choose from.
Kicking off with its spacious, retro-infused Wright St café in 2015, its second café, “My Kingdom for a Horse Coffee”, was opened on Waymouth St in 2020. Also named “My Kingdom for a Horse Coffee”, the Pirie St cafe presents another delectable option to the “Absolutely, but which one?” selection.
Situated at 185 Pirie St, a few steps away from Hindmarsh Square (within easy reach of all the retail action and a comfortable distance from the crowds), Kingdom’s latest café strikes the perfect blend of award-winning flavours, retro aesthetics, and new, savvy tech that’ll switch the dial on your lunch routine.
While the Wright St café’s cooked-to-order, full-table service experience attracts those seeking leisurely dining, Waymouth Street’s compact espresso bar’s grab-and-go format ticks the boxes for the CBD’s hurried but taste-driven set.
Sitting comfortably in the middle, the Pirie Street café is your ‘Goldilocks’ selection; allowing you to choose your pace by providing space and options for relaxed dining, with inbuilt efficiencies to achieve a swift pace for those watching the clock.
Along with Kingdom’s award-winning baristas extracting your in-house roasted and ground cup of happiness, you’ll also find a generous selection of light bites for breakfast, lunch, or whenever your appetites craves nourishment, along with a fridge filled with refreshing drinks.
Ensuring everyone feels welcome, the cafe’s entire frontage is open, allowing a relaxed and steady flow of coffee lovers, with some settling amid the relaxed, retro vibes at a table, while others secure their take-away Kingdom coffee. Al fresco tables are also available for those wanting to soak up some sun but also enjoy a slower pace.
Anyone who’s been to the Wright St cafe will feel immediately at home, with the warmth of the Kingdom’s radiant, 1970s-inspired trademark loop wrapping around the cafe’s walls.
Ever innovating, Kingdom’s team have launched a new online ordering system for their Pirie St customers.
Before you step out of your building and onto the street, pop onto their site, peruse the Pirie St menu featuring very fancy sangas and salads, and place your order ahead of your arrival (between 10am to 2pm from Monday to Friday). Having minimised your wait time and maximised your munch time, you can then take a seat, exhale, and enjoy. That’s a #lunchwin in anyone’s books.
Kingdom’s founder, Emily Raven, told Glam Adelaide that her team’s aim “..is to offer Kingdom quality with take-away value and speedy service for city workers. Pirie St will seat around 60 people and feature the efficiency of pay-as-you-go counter service, so you can order, eat and then head off at a moment’s notice”.
“If Pirie St’s online ordering initiative proves to be a hit with Adelaide’s lunch crowd, it will be rolled out to our Wright St cafe during the week and our sister restaurant, A Prayer for the Wild At Heart.”
Just a few of the selections you can order online from My Kingdom for a Horse Coffee – Pirie Street:
It’s no fluke that Kingdom has earned such an enviable reputation for their delicious brain-enlivening coffees. With award-winning barista Nikki Chen, heading up the Pirie St team, they’ll continue their enviable reputation of pouring liquid gold, cup after cup.
Blending barista expertise with top-notch equipment and sublimely smooth and fresh grinds has been Kingdom’s formula for success, according to Emily, who will, once again, be harnessing the power of “…our favourite, customised La Marzocco KB90 and Izaga grinders for speed and coffee bean quality with Gennie Chee’s award-winning coffee that will still be roasted at Wright St weekly.”
Such is the popularity of Gennie’s masterfully selected and prepared beans a range of take-home ground coffees are available for you to grab, brew or extract at home.
Kingdom’s OG chef, Tony Parini, will add his experience and flair to Pirie Street’s menu, ensuring their seasonal, ethically sourced ingredients from local suppliers are brought together into easy-eating flavour sensations, both for their customers and charitable groups who receive Kingdom’s excess ingredients and meals to share with Adelaide’s homeless community.
So, head on in, say hi to the team and enjoy your first cup of Pirie St perfection.
If you’re closer to Victoria Square than Hindmarsh Square, then pop into Kingdom’s Waymouth St café for your quick fix.
For those seeking a more comprehensive dining experience with space for all the team or family (including prams), Kingdom’s fully licensed Wright Street café is the location for you. It provides full table service, cooked-to-order meals, and coffees and beverages 364 days a year.
