Been there a few times in the last few weeks. Food is always delicious. Service is always very good. This morning, Sam was the name of our server. She was amazing super helpful very friendly and efficient. In fact, great teamwork by the crew multiple people checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed, refills and clearing plates, etc. looking forward to going back next week.

Kensington cafe is a nice place to go when you want to try something new and in a cute area but without the stress of going downtown. We came here on a sunday morning and were sat within 15 minutes. All the staff were so friendly and took their time with us, despite it being a busy day. The menu has lots of unique options without straying too far away from a classic breakfast. I got the baked french toast and it was delectable, the berry compote and streusel topping really complimented the flavor and textures of the french toast. I also got an iced white chocolate mocha and it was soooo good. Just the perfect amount of sweetness. The patio allows for tons of people and dog watching on the weekend. I will definitely return here!

Delicious food in a nice corner location in the beautiful district of Kensington. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles with a side of eggs and I must say, it was delicious! I normally probably wouldn't be able to finish a meal like that, but the food was so easy to eat. The chicken was more of schnitzel, very tender and fresh! They also have an outdoor seating area that of course allows dogs. Our waitress was amazing and made sure our water was refilled and we got everything we needed. On top of that we did a walk in on a random Saturday and got seated in 15 minutes! Overall great place!!

Another great brunch here. The baked French toast is so delicious and you can never go wrong with any of their hash bowls.

In the area and hungry for breakfast we stumbled upon this local spot. Parking is only street parking. They have a large outdoor patio for you and your fur babies. We were greeted by Jessica as soon as we opened the door. Trying to eat healthy I choose off of the scramble side of the menu. It was more of an omelet. I decided on the tree hugger which included mushroom, spinach, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and avocado scramble. Included was toast and cubed potatoes perfectly cooked. The portions were a great amount. I should have given into my inner hungry hippo and tried the hot honey chicken waffles. I am excited to try more on the menu next time. ** they only do scrambled and poached eggs.

This place has so many options, and I'm excited to come back to try more of them out! We sat outdoors so I'm not sure what the inside looks like, but this is such a cute part of town. Many locals were talking their morning walks and the place seemed to have many regulars, it was genuinely a cute little spot! The servers talked to us like we were old friends and it was really welcoming. Now the food: I am not a grilled cheese at all restaurant type of person, especially for brunch, but their gouda grilled cheese caught my eye. Gouda cheese, grilled onions, and apricot jam on sourdough toast... it really tasted as good as it sounds! I was in love. I got a side of spicy caesar salad on the side, and as a caesar AND spice lover I do have to say I wasn't too impressed. There wasn't much dressing and the spice was nonexistent. I'd say the spice lacking was a trend of the meal, we got the papas calientes and they really just had a chipotle flavor. Don't get me wrong, they were amazing! Just not spicy. I can't knock them too much though, I assume they cater to their demographic-- in the least offensive way possible ;) The flavors were still amazing. My partner got one of their chicken sandwiches, and my friend got an omelette made with vegan egg. Both were huge fans! Spicy red beer is a must try, though the mimosa was available little too average for the price. My boyfriend also got a flying nun coffee and despite having so much espresso it still had a REALLY good, smooth, and sweet flavor. I have family visiting soon and am excited to bring them here. They have so many options, and I feel like I know my preferences a little better now and will order accordingly. I'll be letting people know about this cute little spot :)

This place has been around forever and is just a super reliable lunch/brunch spot, everything's pretty solid. Servers are friendly and efficient. Inside is a little noisy but tolerable. But it's San Diego, ya clod! There aren't many days out of the year when sitting outside wouldn't be better. Try the espresso shake, if you've got the stones for it.

Kensington Cafe is a cute place to grab a coffee to-go or to sit down and enjoy a meal. Decorated with lots of photos in a wall, you're transported to a place with more of a retro feel. Staffed with lots of friendly, caring, and knowledgeable workers, the staff here makes you feel welcomed and at home. On my visit today, I ordered the Asada Hash Bowl without avocado. Overall, I would give this item 3/5 stars. For the price of $17, I thought the flavor was very lacking. The dish seemed under seasoned and I had to add lots of ketchup to get some taste on my dish. Also, the poached eggs were over poached in my dish so I missed out on a decadent yolk coating my asada hash. While the Asada Hash bowl may not be personally for me, I did try a bite of the Brown Sugar Buttermilk Pancakes and I thought this item was very tasty. The flavor was good and not too overpowering and the dish was the perfect sweet breakfast item. If I were to return, I would definitely try more of their pancakes. Kensington Cafe is a cute little breakfast nook filled with lots of nice people and vibes. With an extensive breakfast and cafe menu, I'm sure there's a dish for everyone here.

Super cute corner cafe and restaurant with great service and tasty food! I stopped by for a weekday lunch and enjoyed their half tuna sandwich and corn chowder soup combo. I also got to try their Pancake and it was seriously delicious! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu so be sure to check them out next time you're in Kensington.
