Kitchenette - Coffee and Brunch

First time dining here today. It was a very pleasant surprise. Ya, the place is a little small but they sure make it up in quality. I had the Turkey Club sandwich and it was fantastic. BIG, Tasty and very filling. My wife had the Mushroom Polenta and she couldn't stop saying how much she loved it. We talked to the table next to us. One had the Mushroom Polenta and she said the same thing her friend had the Sweet Potato Hash and told me that I have to try it next time. I'm glad we found this amazing place and the Chef said to come back for their weekend specials. I know that we will do just that. A great little place.

To be honest, we were pretty disappointed by this experience. It had been hyped as being one of the best breakfast places in the area, so we drove the 10 minutes from Paso Robles, and basically it was just an upscale Starbucks style situation. Parking was easy, it’s literally on what seems like a little side street in suburbia. Beautiful farmhouse style building, but the moment we walked in, we basically were standing on a line. There’s one cashier, and at the time we were there which was prime time 12 PM on a Saturday, he was distracted by also taking out orders so we all had to stand there for triple the time while the cashier abandoned the cash register to take orders out. The menu was surprisingly sparse. Not very much variety, and if you didn’t happen to like what was on the one sided menu, you basically are left with not much to enjoy. Ordered the avocado toast, and they were gracious and substituting out the bacon for a vegetarian option. But then we wanted to order a side of potatoes, and literally all three options had already sold out of. Totally understood that you can’t have an endless supply of fresh food, but it was Thanksgiving weekend and it was only 12 PM, and I guess they hadn’t planned on people actually ordering? In any case we were left with the choices of either a $10 fruit bowl, or french fries, or a sugar-heavy pastry. So we just had the avocado toast and lattes. The pricing was a bit high, for my avocado toast and a cup of coffee, tip and gratuity spent just under 30$ The food came out fairly promptly, though unfortunately my latte was cold. Given that there was just one waiter running around we opted to just drink the cold latte. We asked for water, and someone said they’d be right back and they never reappeared. As there’s about 12 breakfast spots throughout downtown Paso Robles, we could’ve honestly just stayed in the area, saved on the gasoline and time, and ordered avocado toast did one of the places closer to our hotel. Notes to owner would be obviously to ensure that you have proper staffing and supplies for the weekend, Rather than having a ton of folk drive out only to be told that you’re sold out by 11:30 AM. And hey, water really doesn’t cost you much, so especially as sometimes the weight for food is around 20 minutes, might be nice to offer people some water while they’re waiting. Wouldn’t necessarily recommend if you’re looking for a real breakfast or something to nibble.

One of the best Pastrami Reubens I've ever had. It was easily enough for two meals. I met Christian and Ryan a few days ago and they bragged of their culinary abilities. So I had to test them out with a surprise visit. They weren't lying. Top notch spot that is high on my list for a return visit. Great folks with quality ingredients in a relaxed family atmosphere. Thanks guys! Well done!

Bustling, Busy, and well run. Staff moves with intention and shows incredible care for the line of devoted restaurant attendees. The restaurant is well loved and often filled with people which keeps the atmosphere on the move. The food crafted with beauty and care. The mushroom polenta was rich hearty, salty and filling. The brown rice bowl flavorful and so scrumptious. Plating was thoughtful and artistic. Flavors from all dishes we had were fresh and delightful We also ordered a side plate of the ricotta pancakes and they are luxurious. Lemon curd and blueberries are beautifully plated and the flavors are so incredible. Syrup not needed this dish lives perfect exactly as you see it. Gorgeous fluffy airy bites with sweetness and citrus to top off the flavors We went back a total of three times having the steel cut oats, chilaquiles (twice) and the chile verde. Each dish delivers with taste and presentation.

This place gets 5 stars . The service, the food, the atmosphere was great! Had a latte pozole and the breakfast tacos and they were all amazing! The Chef, Ryan at Kitchenette definitely knows what he is doing!! Go see him!!
