The Sinful Kitchen
952 Brighton Ave, Portland, ME
Crema's Take
“This beautifully repurposed auto repair shop in Portland has earned serious loyalty for its exceptional brunch game, particularly standout waffles and creative takes on classics like eggs Benedict, all while accommodating gluten-free and allergy-conscious diners with genuine care. The industrial-chic space comes alive with a community vibe—literally, as walls showcase customer artwork on provided paper—and the service matches the quality of the food, though expect it to fill up fast enough that a reservation is worth calling ahead for. Fair warning: the experience and generous portions come at a premium price point, but regulars suggest the phenomenal chef and warm, bustling atmosphere make it worth the splurge for a special breakfast or leisurely meeting spot.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Right off the highway! Cool looking building. Its a small cozy place. The staff are friendly. The Hand Picked Maine Crab with Avocado, Crumbled bacon, Hollandaise & Fries was absolutely amazing. Never had something like that before and we were unsure about it when we first…
Food was good. Atmosphere was casual. Very open (like a remodeled auto repair shop). Was very expensive. + $70 pre-tip total. Two people. One classic eggs Benedict. One eggs Benedict with hash. Two bloody Mary’s. Two waters.
Amazing gluten free selection. Super allergy friendly for people who have other allergies. Great service and delicious food. Best waffles I’ve ever had!
Such a cute and unique spot! The walls are covered in customer artwork from the paper they give you to draw on — a fun touch that really stands out. The service was incredible from start to finish, with every server offering a warm good morning and genuinely attentive care. I…
Couldn’t recommend this place more! I called in a reservation on a Wednesday morning and though it probably wasn’t necessary I’d recommend it anyways because it got busy quick! Was so happy to have so many options as someone with celiac. I ordered the gluten free strawberry…
W head a great time at brunch at the sinful kitchen. The seating area is a little crowded for the demand they have but I think that just speaks to how good the food is. The chef is phenomenal. We ate here twice on our Labor Day weekend trip. I’m not usually someone who goes back…
