All the reviews are telling the truth: the food here is pretty tasty and they have fun coffee beverages. The servers are really nice and were accommodating of us sitting outside with our small dog. When it's cold, they offer blankets for you. The ambience is pleasant: peaceful vibe of the hangars that have been converted into offices with park-like spaces surrounding it. read more

Absolutely amazing! I cannot believe it took me so long to check out Kitchen. The tri-tip sandwich was wonderful (I prefer mine with no cheese) and the rosemary fries were, too. I can't wait to go back and try their desserts! They were as beautiful as the pastries I had in Paris. Oh, and if Cruz is working when you go in, lucky you!!! He made us feel like we were guests in his home rather than patrons in a restaurant. Truly, truly special. read more

We're in town for a wedding, and wanted a close breakfast spot. We chose kitchen cafe & catering, and it didn't disappoint! The space was quaint, being helped almost immediately, the staff was super eager to help with any questions we had. We ordered the breakfast burritos & avocado toast with an orange juice and pastry. My husband was quoted saying "best burrito I've ever had!" When we come back we will be returning customers for sure. read more

Fun spot for breakfast and lunch. We had the Asian noodle salad with chicken. The tri tip sandwich, the chicken pesto sandwich the avacado toast with salmon, and a breakfast croissant. It was all delicious, the salad was huge, the tri tip was amazingly tender. We split the rosemary garlic fries, hot crispy and tasty. We had a chocolate chip cookie and orange ginger scone for dessert. Both were excellent. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

I went here on a weekday for breakfast to see what all the hype was about. The pastry selection was impressive looking and the staff were extremely polite. Not a lot of tables, so I can only imagine that weekends could get crowded. My eggs Benedict were presented very nicely on the plate... but... whoever made the hollandaise sauce used too much lemon or vinegar. My GF noticed some small curdled lumps in it and before I took a bite and told me it was going to have a sour bite... she was right, it was pretty sour. Still good, but very sour tasting. The eggs were poached really good and the bed of toast they put it on was toasted perfectly and had a great flavor. Just fix that sauce and this would be a five star. The cherry turnover was loaded with filling, not like some i've had at other places. They did not skimp on filling at all and I would get it again. read more

Amazing pastries, friendly service, but out of way location unless you live/work in Novato/Hamilton area

Amazingly delicious! We had avocado toast with smoked salmon and blueberry bread pudding. Can't wait to explore the rest of the menu!

This place is the best kept secret in Marin County! Every time I've been there, it's literally THE BEST. Today's breakfast burrito -- so delicious! And the food is always a little unique. I wish they were open all day every day!! read more

Kitchen is a wonderful addition to Novato. They are located in the Hangers in the Hamilton neighborhood. I heard a lot of people raving about them and obviously had to stop by and checking it out for myself. I got lunch with a friend during a weekday. We were greeted by a couple ladies behind the counter. They were very friendly and showed us the different lunch options in the display case. It was hard to choose but I ordered the egg and ham croissant sandwich. It was incredible! I noticed the great quality of all the ingredients. I was so happy it was a hot sandwich. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. We sat outside since it was a nice day. One of the ladies came by our table to see how everything was and we raved about how delicious our meals were. They make all their pastries in house which is nice to hear. There is also some grab and go meals in the refrigerator which is convenient if you need something quick to eat while you're on your lunch break. read more

Wanted to try this cafe since it opened but closed on weekends. What a sweet cafe; attentive and kind staff, fantastic and unique food with quality ingredients including Della Fattoria bread. Indoors is soothing and beautiful and tables outside are also nice. Love the theme of kindness and love and the pink heart quartz they give out ... so glad to see it busy. Will be back when I have a day off !! read more

Good food, but a bit expensive. This IS Marin, though, and a small individually-owned business an a hard-to-find location.

Kitchen is a great place for lunch in Hamilton Fields (see my earlier review). This review is for their catering services - though their restaurant is super cute and inviting. Deb is amazing and the menu options and quality of the food are excellent. We have used them a number of times for events at Unity In Marin and everyone raves about the food. Highly recommend - everything has been delicious, well presented and original. read more

The restaurant is located in Hangar 6 of the old Hamilton Air Force Base. The food here is fantastic. Eggs Benedict were very well prepared with amazingly perfect poached eggs. The hollandaise sauce was light and also wonderfully prepared with a hint of lemon. The pastry options are beautiful and well crafted. The staff / owners are very helpful as well. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious food, coffee, and a beautiful inside and outside seating area to just take it all in! The staff are so nice and make you feel at home while you enjoy your delicious treats. Oh and the pastries are to die for! I am a coffee addict and let me tell you that when I say their coffee is better than Starbucks, that's huge coming from me. I plan on going back to try everything on the menu. And if you're gluten free, most of the menu can be made that way for you to enjoy! If you haven't gone yet, you better go now. read more

The food, the unreal pastries and the owner are all top notch. I've had their vegetarian burrito and avocado toast with two poached eggs that were amazing! The folks working there always greets people you with a smile. The one caveat I have is the metal chairs- not too friendly for folks who don't have a lot of padding back there, but everything else overrides this minor complaint. read more

The food is really good, but the portion sizes are small. Giving this place a 3/5 because of the small portions and high price. I think you need to order about 2-3 plates per person. read more

Best coffee I have had in a long time! I am glad I listened to the reviews. My husband had the egg Benedict and I had the tri-tip sandwich. Both were very delicious! I only remember to take a pic when I was almost done with my sandwich. Sorry. I honestly can't wait to go back. Very friendly staff. The cafe is small but there is outdoor seating. Delicious, Delicious! read more

Recently had our 50th Anniversary Party catered by Deb K and her Staff and everything was top shelf! How surprised we were to find our multi-layer Wedding Cake was as delicious as our original cake from 50 years ago with flavor, moistness, and creme filling, et al. KC&C took care of tables, chairs, plate set up, appetizers, drink station, plenty of wine and champagne glasses, and less than an hour after the party conclusion everything was cleaned up and they beamed up to their spacecraft as if nothing was left behind except for full tummies and quenched thirsts... read more

Great lunch/brunch options tucked away between hangers. Had the curry chicken toast and the pupusa Benedict. Delicious! Finished off with the butterscotch pudding. Yum!!! read more

The food is creative and delicious! The service is prompt & very helpful. Kitchen is a casual cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Most diners are from the local buildings, but it's becoming more popular with outsiders!! They've catered several parties & events at Unity In Marin, and they were amazing! Daily specials, outstanding menu and pastries that are not only beautiful, but delish too!! Woah I had a photo of 2 to show you. Next time... read more

First off, the quality of the food is quite good. These times we are facing high inflationary prices. Two drip coffees and two pastries were over $28. Sorry but way overpriced. Would like to support a small business but won't be coming back at those prices. read more

I had the pupusa benedict, it wasn't amazing and there was a little bit of eggshell in it, not a big deal but it was white so my guess is it's fairly cheap egg as the ingredient which might account for more average taste. Rosemary garlic fries were good, but overall it's more the nice presentation than taste here. read more

I really liked this place, and the food was delicious. I ordered the Asian salad for $12, but was very surprised at how small it was. It comes without protein (no chicken, no tofu, etc) and was just a tiny pile of soba noodles in the very center of my plate mixed with some chopped veggies tossed in an Asian vinaigrette dressing. It was absolutely delicious, but I was still very hungry after I left. I could have easily eaten 2 (possibly even 3) of these for lunch. read more

Cute little spot for lunch with friends. I enjoyed their tuna sandwich. They also have a delicious pastry case and some nice coffee beverages. The server was lovely and very attentive. read more

We came for breakfast, ordering eggs (2 Benedicts), French toast, and an avocado toast. The hardest part was to NOT order one of each of the amazingly beautiful pastries in the case lit by the morning sun. We needed some protein, after all! In the course of ordering, we met the owner, a delightful woman who comes to this cafe with many years of experience in the food biz. She's created a warm, welcoming place to come grab a goodie & go, or sit and visit over delicious food. She's also hired lovely staff as well. After we finished, we grabbed some of those goodies to take with us on the road. A delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookie, blueberry muffin, almond croissant & shortbread cookie. The four of us ate well while there, and later too! The only issue was that one Eggs Benedict arrived with poached eggs that were close to hard boiled. Someone forgot to set a timer? That aside, we'd go back there anytime we're in the area--& you should too! read more

We have been to The Kitchen several times and it never disappoints. Their food is outstanding and consistent every time. Julie, the manager, and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. We had the breakfast croissant sandwich and the Eggs Benedict this time. The hollandaise sauce on the Benedict was so creamy with a lemon flavor that I wanted more of! We also heard they have hired a new baker. Looking forward to trying more of their baked goods as well. read more

Tried this place today and it was a delight! I like that the location is a little off the beaten path, there's outdoor seating to get some fresh air, every single person on the staff is helpful and lovely, and the food is excellent. Their hours are pretty limited so, alas, I'll never have weekend brunch here or drop in after work, but they seem to mainly cater to the nearby office crowd and retired folks. But let's dive deeper into the food - they clearly use fresh ingredients and execute even basic dishes with a solid sense of cuisine. Everything was great (...I mean, my little bacon-parmesan egg souffle bite thing was a little dry compared to the wonderfully moist vegetarian option my companion chose, but both were super tasty). As a bit of constructive feedback, I think the ordering process can be a little confounding. There's not just a menu, but a dizzying array of pastries, all kinds of food inside the refrigerated counter, and so on. But there are no labels or prices, so while you're in line and feeling a bit pressed, you have to ask what things are and how much they cost one by one, which would get a bit absurd if you did it for everything you're keen on (and, depending on timing, there may be no one to even ask until you're at the register, by which point there's people behind you and the stuff you were wondering about is way out of sight). Likewise, in the refrigerated counter, there can be three different kinds of a single item and it's time to order but you don't know the difference or even realize what they're called, so the conversation ends up being, "Um, can I have one of those egg thingamawhosits?" "Oh, the (whatever it was called) or this other thing?" "No, that one!" "Just one?" "Does one mean...oh, do they come in pairs? Or is one actually one?" Then when they clarify that there's actually three types and that one has ingredients a, b, c, d, and the other w, x, y, z, and you've got people behind you, you wish they'd just label it so you can visually process everything in two seconds. And then you have no idea if you just ordered something that costs five dollars or twenty but have already asked a bunch of questions and just go with it. I ended up not inquiring about loads of interesting-looking food. But again, these are minor quibbles. There's a really inviting atmosphere and a sense that whoever is crafting the food really loves what they do. The food is vibrant, fresh, and delicious. I don't mean to wax poetic but you can almost get a sense of care and humanity in the food, and feel nourished by it, which is rare in my book. I'm noticing they also do catering and wouldn't hesitate to hire them for an event. A definite local gem! read more

The workers extremely nice and helpful. The pupusa benedict was absolutely amazing! I will definitely recommend this place to others. read more

Cute little spot in a strange location with friendly staff. I came to have lunch with a friend,. The menu had loads of delicious choices. My choice was the Asian salad with chicken. I did find it way heavy with onion, so I would not recommend it. However, my friend really enjoyed her sandwich, and all the other meals leaving the kitchen looked tasty. The pastries are eye candy for sure! I did takeaway two mini lemon meringues and some cinnamon twist- we both were underwhelmed by the pastry and did not think it was worth the price or calories.... I ended up tossing them. All in all- perhaps would recommend or return, but order something different. read more

Stopped by to have a little breakfast and really glad that I did. Very quaint atmosphere, very nice simple decor. The service was really top notch, they are very kind & inviting. I ordered 2 eggs, hot link, potatoes with English and muffin. It really was tasty and perfecto. 5-Stars to the Kitchen I'll be coming back read more

Found this place off a quick Google search for breakfast while driving through Novato. The location seems a little off the beaten path, but defiantly worth it! The cafe is super cute with all kinds of goodies in the case, very inviting and delicious looking. The breakfast did not disappoint! I had the avocado toast with smoked salmon and my other half had the French toast. Both were amazing! Of course we were so hungry I forgot take photos, but the presentation was also beautiful, and well plated. The service was speedy and super friendly. Will definitely be back and will recommend to anyone I know coming through town! read more
