The Borrowed Kitchen Bakery in my neighborhood has come a very long way since their early days a few years ago. I went there today with a friend and I was more than pleasantly surprised at the extensive breakfast menu. I was also very pleased with how the food was presented and tasted. The quality was surprisingly very high. My friend got pancakes, bacon, and eggs. I ended up with the huevos rancheros. Honestly, my only complaint was there was not enough salsa or tortillas for the amount of food I got. I actually had to ask for more salsa. What a gem of a place. I highly recommend that you stop by and have a full breakfast. Yes, they have plenty of breakfast sweets like cinnamon rolls and other things but the actual meals are hearty and tasty. read more

I've only had the baked goods but they are so amazing! The maple bacon scone is one of my favorites and the bear claws are soooo good! Soft inside but they have a delicious crisp to the outside. Cant wait to try more. read more

Sorry folks, but when you go into a restaurant at 12:30 PM, on a Friday, it should be busy. Should have known to walk out when all tables were empty. The menu had about 7 or eight sandwiches on it. However they were "out" of 50% of them. Ordered Turkey Melt. My side choices were potato chips or homemade potato salad. Ordered the salad. When brought to us, told us they were out of the salad... but I could choose a bag of chips... ok. Not a great start. Sandwich was dry and flavorless. Bit into it and damn near broke a tooth! The crust on the bottom of the sandwich was completely black. Burnt to a crisp. Oh, had a latte as well.... The worst one I've ever had. No joke. The place was filthy. The shared bathroom was worse and no paper towels. This place will not make it. read more

My cookie was good. But the breakfast sandwich was inedible. I took one bite and spit it out. The biscuit was soggy and stale at the same time. It has probably been sitting for a few hours. And, they advertise lunch. That means 'get a pre-made sandwich from the fridge'. No. I can do that at a gas station. The iced tea was nearly flavorless. It's really hard to ruin iced tea. I'm sure the bread is good. read more

What I Got: Frozen Dinners [Chicken Pesto, Stroganoff] I really need to actually eat their baked goods someday, but I'm a huge fan of their frozen meals. The stroganoff is my favorite! Super flavorful, nothing comes out chewy or bland at all. Yum! read more

The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming. I really enjoyed book selection as well. I would give the food a 10/10! Not to mention the staff was truly wonderful! read more

Went back today and they were very generous with the gravy! Love this place! You should definitely give them a try!

i love that kingston now has a proper bakery & lots of variety within it. there's something for everyone in this place. the last few times i've been in there have been kind of disappointing..... not with the baked items but with the service. there seem to be plenty of employees but even when there were only a few people ahead of me.....the wait was unbearable and not even acknowledgement that s/o was in the least interested in taking my order. and, when they did, sadly, without much enthusiasm. i'm not expecting a red carpet but maybe a 'hey, i'll be with you in a minute.' even some eye contact with a smile would be awesome. service is a huge part of why i go out & support businesses. my enthusiasm is waning in support of the lack of enthusiasm from some of the employees, unfortunately. a genuine smile goes a long way. read more

Stopped in here on our way off the ferry; best decision. I highly recommend getting a breakfast burrito.

All the items they have are awesome! You can taste the clean, fresh ingredients used, not the fake stuff. Highly recommended!!! read more

Had a lot of potential but misses the mark. There was no prices on any of the baked goods and they had very little left by the time I got there at 2:00pm on a Saturday. We ordered a iced vanilla latte (not good) and a Lotus and two raspberry shortbread cookies. The girl behind the counter only gave us one cookie and then made our drinks. I mentioned after paying she missed one cookie and she said she had only charged for 1... in an effort to get out of there I said forget the other cookie. After my bf drank some of his lotus the girl tells him "oh you need to stir it cause the syrup is on the bottom. It was WAY over syruped. The cookie was really good but I had to ask (after I paid for it) how much it was. $2! That's a lot for 4 bits of a cookie. The over all attitude of both the girls working there was lackadaisical. No smile, no thank you, no care. There were also a ton of flies flying around inside that made me think twice about eating there. I discovered today that I was overcharged in my card as well. I won't be back. read more

Cute bakery that sells food and books about food?! That's for me! But this place just doesn't work. People are friendly, but coffee service is slow and drinks aren't great. Breakfast burritos are premade and gluey, biscuits served cold. Grab a book and a loaf of bread to go. read more

"Disappointed on 4th visit" As witnessed in my last review, I have loved Borrowed Kitchens chops! But today was not good. Arrived at 9:15 anticipating another great breakfast. One couple and one elderly single ahead of us waiting for a table, while plenty of seats are available to place everybody in line, including a communal table. When we asked if we could sit at the communal table or do we put need to put our name in we were told to please wait as we did for 5 to 10 more minutes before we asked again. We were told that they're not seating people so that they can help pace the kitchen. How does customer service work in a fashion that customers are told to stand in line while there are empty seats and tables? You can simply say that tables are ready, but please be prepared to wait X period. CLUNK. read more

DELICIOUS food, good coffee and a friendly smile when under a mask !! Plenty of room for asocial distancing when in the queue and lots of lovely food to look at read more

Fantastic scones! The wild blackberry and maple bacon scones are beyond words. Crispy and dense yet moist. Maple bacon has savory sweet without either flavor taking over. BlackBerry has copious filling with robust taste. read more

I had the eggs Benedict. Very good, would highly recommend, but the restaurant needs sharper knives. My knife just kind of crushed things rather than cutting. But the very careful wait staff replaced my super dull butter knife with a kitchen pairing knife and I was right the fault wasn't tough English muffins, it was the knife. Things don't have to be perfect, true excellence is seen how you handle problems. I'll be back next time I'm in Kingston. read more

Great selection of ready to eat treats and take away food-- gifts too! I had a cream cheese danish that was utter perfection. My daughter tried the apple fritter and said she's never eaten anything better. read more

Amazing food! We had the Cinnamon Roll French Toast and it was wonderful. The CRISPY(!) bacon it came with made for the best combo bites! It also came with a little mixed green salad with oranges. I don't know what was going on with the oranges but they were the best! And they made for amazing fresh orange juice too. The Breakfast Sammy with ham was big and made with a homemade biscuit. It was served with a side of two sliced oranges. Dip coffee is bottomless if you dine in. read more

We commute via the ferry and literally drive by here every day (for the last year). We finally went in last weekend and we have been missing out!! I got the eggs bene and a mimosa and my husband got the gravy bowl and a Bloody Mary . Everything was phenomenal! It was all homemade and very fresh! We plan to come once a week now. read more

Borrowed Kitchen Bakery - Eggs Bene - Bakeries Near Me - Kingston, Washington

Breakfast sammy is okay. The real stars are the pastries. Hands down, the best raspberry danish I've ever had. Tart, warm, and flaky - it's the perfect start to your day. read more

The most amazing danish ever once I got it. This place needs to open another register so people trying to hurry can be helped while the people who wanna chit chat and order all their bread and milk for the week along with a family load of coffees are holding it all up. read more

Borrowed Kitchen makes the best scones in all Puget Sound (including Seattle). Just the right texture, not too sweet.....resembling the authentic scones in England. Highly recommend this amazing community owned business. read more

Received a Yelp reply from BKB which provided context for me. Also, I've been in periodically driving to/from the ferry terminal and had their chocolate croissants and apple fritters. Good to see an independent bakery thrive in Kingston. read more

Quite simply - the best in Kitsap! Bacon maple scones and apple fritters are my favorite! read more

Very helpful. The food came in good time and was so yummy!!!' And gotta try there cookies omg yum! And for fresh made local menu it was reasonably priced read more

Borrowed Kitchen Bakery - So good!!! - Bakeries Near Me - Kingston, Washington

This is my parents favorite restaurant in Kingston. It started as a small bakery, then started serving food, and these days the restaurant business has really taken over. They specialize in breakfast. You can get omelettes or eggs Benedict or biscuits and gravy, Or you can go back to the glass counter and choose from the bakery items such as ham and cheese croissants or chocolate cake. Do not dismiss the possibility of chocolate cake for breakfast, at four dollars, it's not expensive, the sizes are huge, and very chocolatey. Pair it with a good cup of coffee, and you will be buzzing for the rest of the morning. read more

I just want to give a shout out to the wonderful people that run this restaurant (husband and wife Lacey & Kory Anders) I don't know them at all, but read on ....This is during the virus shut downs....they have become frozen food sellers. These frozen food entrees and all the other things they make (it is also a bakery) have been SO GOOD! It is awesome to go down to this place in Kingston and grab a couple of frozen meals that means that we don't have to cook EVERY night. So far I have had the enchiladas and the Vegi Lasagna....Both have been excellent. Support local businesses! read more

Nice space and location but our breakfast sandwiches were really bad. I couldn't finish eating it if I'm honest. And I'm not usually picky-- but the biscuits were old tasting, fake bacon and egg/cheese. The coffees were okay. Not great. Not terrible- just okay. Maybe we hit an off day but they weren't busy AT ALL. So you'd think they would take the time to do a good job. Also not very friendly staff. No one really said hi to us or anything. Bummer. read more

Cant wait for them to open again! I hope the air has cleared here. They have a great location to watch the wildlife, birds mostly. Water view. Staff needs to brush up on GREaT customer service instead of mediocre. Outdoor seating when weather is cooperating . I often dream of owning my own restaurant this is a dream come true type place. The owner works very hard here. There Halibut special was Amazing!! read more

Damn! Appropriate line for the food they were serving. Don't expect to walk out in 2 minutes but it is worth the wait! Great service even better food read more

A wonderful find... just stumbled upon it while driving to the ferry... The staff were lovely and very engaging! I purchased a lovely peanut butter bar and had a bite or two of that while traveling home. For my little guy, I got a crab sugar cookie. As soon as I got in the house, the rest of the peanut butter cookie disappeared (hmmm...) and the crab cookie lost a claw. There was a great selection at the end of the day on Friday and they were still more items being created. Along with confections, there appeared to be bread selections available. read more

Great selection but bring cash or local check. No cards are accepted here! I've had the scones (way yummy) and the brownie (yummy). read more

The pastries are amazing. I can't say enough about the mouth watering lemon blueberry scone and apple fritter. I can't wait to try more.

Love this place. You can get inline to grab something to go, or wait to be seated. There are a few tables outside. My boyfriend got a breakfast sandwich and I had the breakfast bowl. It was all delicious. Also great that it was open on July 4th! read more

We found this little bakery after getting off the ferry! We love exploring new places and finding little bakeries. Unfortunately, this one didn't quite live up to our expectations. The biscuit was delicious, but the gravy left something to be desired - we are from the south, though, so gravy is eaten at almost every meal! The blueberry scone was very good, but the cheese croissant was not. Some of our cookies were very hard and almost tasted like they'd been there a few days. read more

The breakfasts were perfect. My son and husband loved their biscuits and gracy, and I thought the potatoes (with onions and vegetables )were "yum". The bacon was both crisp and chewy, flavorful and not every salty. We also shared (day-old) cinnamon roll (very good) and a chocolate brioche (delicious)! I am glad we found it and think this will, become our new favorite breakfast place!!! read more

Extremely disappointed with the service this morning. We (two people) waited well over an hour and finally had to get our food to go because we needed to catch a ferry. When we opened our to go containers, both of our orders were wrong! They were understaffed this morning, and most tables were waiting for food that was plated and ready to be taken out of the kitchen, but the plates were just sitting there getting cold. Patrons at the counter received better service, so perhaps that is the key for a positive experience on a Saturday morning. I appreciate that they are a "from scratch kitchen" (as the main server loudly stated as she sat the table next to us as we waited for our to-go containers - which means "your order can take a while"), as it is part of their charm and appeal. However, the service was poor (my husband was served a cup of coffee that was far from full) and it took 45 minutes from ordering for the wrong food to be packaged. "From scratch" is not a justification for poor management. You pay for the cute experience of dining here with their usually delicious food and nice staff. This morning was nothing short of a disaster. I don't intend on returning - $40 is a lot for the wrong order and poor service. read more

Severely understaffed - we were seated at the Farmhouse Cafe immediately and two tables next to us complained about not having placed their orders yet. One table left. We waited 15 minutes before asking if we could place our order, and the waitress told us that they weren't taking any orders for at least another 5-10 minutes because the kitchen was backed up. She said that we wouldn't get our food for another 30 minutes. We shouldn't have been seated in the first place, or we should have at least been told this information before wasting 15 minutes. We tried to get scones at the Borrowed Bakery but the same staff was working there as at the cafe, so a line formed and we decided not to spend any money at a restaurant/bakery so poorly mismanaged. read more

Came here about a year ago and in all my life, this was the best apple fritter and ham cheese croissant I've ever, ever had. Husband loved it, too. Won't forget this place. read more

Yummy rustic loaves as well as sandwich bread,, very good Danish, and the chocolate cake certainly looks delicious Buy baked goods and even freezer meals to go, or find a table in the small Farmhouse Cafe in front of you can. Excellent soup, sandwiches are generous and fine, and the breakfasts are available until 2pm. read more
