Kitchenette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Templeton, California

We stopped by Kitchenette to grab breakfast to-go. The interior had farmhouse-style decor with blue accents and they also had a nice shady patio in the front. They weren't super busy on a Saturday morning, and we were able to order at the counter right away. For coffee, they only had vanilla syrup, so I got a Vanilla Latte. The flavor wasn't very strong and none of us were thrilled with our drinks. I also ordered the Acai Bowl, which the guy at the counter said was amazing. It came packaged in a very strange container for a smoothie bowl - not so aesthetically pleasing. The bowl itself was alright, but messy to eat. My friend was also not impressed with her breakfast sandwich, which was very small for its hefty price tag. Overall, Kitchenette had friendly service and a pleasant ambiance, but the breakfast wasn't our favorite. read more

Food was good, service was good, ambiance was fine as a nice little country kitchen set up. No complaints as it was a good breakfast, but nothing that is going to make me have to return again. Great job on a solid breakfast. read more

We stopped in at Kitchenette the other day for a brunch with my niece who lives in Templeton. Templeton is a very picturesque town with a kind of a farm theme and some very nice small cafés and restaurants. Kitchenette is definitely the one to go to to eat breakfast! We got there early and got a great parking space in the small lot, but you can park on the street. We went to the counter and ordered. Since I had studied the menu. I got probably the least breakfastish dish- the Vietnamese salad and my husband got the eggs Benedict, which he had enjoyed before. We sat down and it wasn't long before the food came out. It's such a small restaurant that even if it's packed full, there aren't that many people ahead of you. I had the Ranch Hand salad last time and felt like it was a little too close to a "real" breakfast for me, so this time I chose the Vietnamese salad because of recommendations of other Yelpers! I really enjoyed this salad. There's something very crave bowl about the dressing and the chicken was just right the way that it was grilled. We sat and enjoyed the buzzy breakfast ambience. It never got too crowded and people wandered in and out getting to go meals. We will be back again when we want a nice hit of breakfast in Templeton! read more

I've been to this restaurant before and had a great experience because the food was so good. I decided to go and get a couple pastries to celebrate my birthday. Even though it was very busy, I was acknowledged quickly, and the team was welcoming. - Unfortunately, I do not recommend the pastries. Both of them were bland and dry. My cinnamon croissant smelled like cheese and cinnamon and cheese do not go together. I assume this is because they were located so closely together in the glass case. - The crumb cake was tasteless. It had been warmed up without my request and by the time I ate it, it was crumbly and dry. If you feel there are other pastries I should try, please reach out to me via messenger and let me know. I like your restaurant and would like to continue to support you. read more

Friendly welcome, excellent fresh breakfast that's worth the price of most items. We had the Posole Verde - with a breaded and fried soft boiled egg...amazing! Also the Soft Scramble eggs with sourdough toast (both high quality, fresh, cooked perfectly). The chicken sausage was a little sweet. I liked it, my boyfriend did not. Personal preference, though. Yummy housemade hot sauce; also a little sweet and earthy. Great drip coffee (you can ask for a refill). Cute patio and plenty of inside seating. Will return! read more

This place is busy for a reason. We ordered at the counter and the food was brought to our table. The coffee and cappuccino were both very good. The food arrived promptly. It tasted as good as it looked. We were lucky to score a table inside as it was a bit too cold to sit outside. The BLTA was delicious. I had several people walk by our table and tell me that it looked amazing. It could have used a bit more seasoning. I noticed that several other posters have commented on the seasoning aspect of the food. It didn't detract from our experience though. Hubby had the breakfast tacos and said he would def come back for them. I would love to try more dishes from their menu and look forward to retuning. read more

What a cute place! The outdoor patio was perfect for us four + a pup. The menu options were all very appealing. Everything we ended up getting (eggs, pancakes, burritos) were delicious. Only feedback is for management - Staff them appropriately! Service was slow, but only because there was one server covering a majority of the restaurant on a Saturday morning. She was so amazing though! Definitely coming back. read more

I had the most amazing Almond French Toast today. You must try it. The place has great customer service. They are friendly and welcoming.

If you are near there....don't pass it up!!! read more

Kitchenette - Posolo Verde - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Templeton, California

Food 4/5 The food was fresh and flavorful, leaning on the healthier side. The sweet potato hash was an interesting combination but packed with flavor , definitely my favorite thing I tried! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious as well. The chilaquiles weren't traditional and ended up being my least favorite from our order, but everything else was great. Customer Service 5/5 Everyone was friendly, and it was great to see how mindful they are of their staff. Ambience 5/5 The ambience was cute, with charming farmhouse vibes. The indoor space felt a bit crowded, and the line extended outside, but the outdoor seating was more spacious and comfortable. Cleanliness 5/5 They were regularly wiping down tables, and everything looked clean and well-kept. Wait Time 3/5 The wait time was longer than expected, which might have influenced our decision to eat here. The line was extremely long and moved slowly, we waited standing for 30+ minutes. On the plus side, once seated, the food was served quickly. Cost 5/5 The price was very reasonable for the quality of the food, still affordable Drinks 4/5 We ordered lattes, which were fine but nothing exceptional, I was expecting a bit more. On the plus side, the orange juice was freshly squeezed and really refreshing. read more

Dear Hubby, Sweet Granddaughter, and I were on a vacation recently. We were focused on spending time on the Central Coast, and had met with family in Paso Robles the earlier part of the week. On our way south to spend one more night in SLO before heading home, we ended up in Templeton for breakfast. I'd recalled a previous dining establishment there which was excellent for a morning meal. Time has moved on and that place is either gone, or moved. When I couldn't find it, Kitchenette popped up as an option. Glad that we decided to stop in. This is a local's place, though I imagine they serve tourists passing through the area. A hearty greeting was extended to all upon entering. We made our way to the ordering counter, studying the menu until it was our time to order. The menu is hearty, with different twists on breakfast favorites. Because of my restrictions against having cow's milk dairy, I ended up with a child's order of French toast, eggs, and chicken sausage. SG had the same, but gave her eggs to me and had fresh berries instead. That made her very happy. DH went for the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes. Such fluffy 'cakes I haven't seen anywhere before. They were a work of culinary art! Something special to try if that's your inclination flavor-wise. The food was excellent, and the service was warm and genuine. They could have used more help, especially for busing tables and cleaning up. I'd gone outside to the large patio space to take a phone call. Many of the tables hadn't been touched in a while after diners had left. We might have normally sat outside on a warm morning, but there was a distinctive eau-de-manure aroma on the air from one of the ag--related businesses in town. SG wasn't having it and definitely wanted to sit inside. As this is a scratch kitchen situation, being patient while the food is prepared is a must to have a good experience. I would be happy to visit them again and hope for a day when they weren't quite as busy. As good as the food is, that might not be possible. read more

Such a quaint little restaurant with farmhouse style decor, specializing in breakfast and brunch in Templeton. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. There are a few tables inside and bar seating, which are tiny, but we opted to dine inside because it was a hundred degrees outside. Not exaggerating one bit. We were greeted immediately once we walked in. She found out it was our first time and offered answers on any questions we had and didn't mind us taking our time to decide what we wanted to eat. After ordering, the food didn't take long to make its way to our table at all. My kids quickly decided on a pancake, French toast, eggs, and bacon. I opted for the Fried Egg BLT which was so tasty, and it definitely hit the spot. We had some potato Croquettes which were pretty heavy but nice and crisp. I had a latte and the quality of the coffee, I could tell, was really good. It seemed to be the perfect spot for brunch or to get your coffee and a pastry. They have a glass case with a selection of generously sized fresh baked goods. I don't see myself visiting the area again any time soon but if I do, it will be at the top of my list of places to revisit. read more

The four of us stopped by Kitchenette for Sunday brunch during our weekend to Paso Robles. It was pretty busy, and we ended up waiting about 40 minutes in line, but that gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. We ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes (a must-try!), corned beef hash, breakfast tacos with braised pork, and the flavorful mushroom polenta. Surprisingly, even though none of us are vegetarian, we all agreed the pancakes and polenta were the standouts of the meal. You order at the counter, and the staff brings your food to the table. Utensils and water are self-serve. There's both indoor and outdoor seating available. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Paso area. read more

Kitchenette in Templeton is a cozy breakfast/brunch spot that boasts a relaxing outdoor patio. I ordered the Posole Verde which was super yummy in my opinion. Pork shoulder, linguica sausage, veggies, and a scotch egg make this dish a hearty and filling menu item. The almond French toast is another delicious breakfast item. Strawberries, honey whipped cream this is another super sweet and delicious menu item I highly recommend. The pastries are delicious as well and the coffee is yummy and high quality. The service is super friendly and homey. A perfect place to hang out with family and grab some weekend brunch. read more

I came here twice on a weekend wine tasting trip. The Posole Verde is not your traditional version. Besides hominy, this has braised pork and linguica sausage in it. It's topped with cabbage, avocado, feta cheese, and a Scotch egg. This all just worked so well together. The Brown Rice Bowl was just what I needed the morning after a day of wine tasting. I added pork to my bowl of brown rice, kimchi pickles, feta, and topped it with a sunny-side-up egg. Delicious! The kitchenette has a few tables and some counter seating. They also have seating in a patio area. read more

Incredible. Amazing. A must stop. If you are in town wine tasting or visiting family or passing through you MUST swing by Kitchenette for breakfast, brunch or lunch! You truly can taste the quality of this food! The service is amazing, just really good people. The owners are amazing and the ingredients are Top Tier! There is also a fair amount of seating, inside and outside and even under their little pergola. My wife and I cannot wait to go back! There are quite a bit of options when looking for breakfast/brunch in this area but you MUST make Kitchenette a top priority! read more

Came here for brunch while me and a group of friends were in town. The line was out the door when we arrived, so we had to wait a while to even order. This place is open seating as well, so if you are with a group I'd suggest to split up and have some people wait in line while others scout a table. It is quite popular, so plan accordingly. We got a few items to share, including the pancakes and tacos. Everything was pretty tasty, and I liked how each of the items had a fresh element to it which added nice variety and texture to the dishes. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here and would recommend to try it out if you're in the area. read more

Loved my lemon ricotta pancakes - light & fluffy pancakes on the lemon ricotta cream that is super flavorful!

So I went here twice a couple weeks ago while on a road trip to Paso Robles for wine tasting. We were staying in an Airbnb that was about 9 min from this restaurant but it is so good, we did not mind waking up early before the rush to get coffee and breakfast before a long day of wine tasting. The first time we went there I got a Vanilla Latte w/ Oat Milk and the Brown Rice bowl which comes in at $15 and is V/GF (Vegan/Gluten Free) and oh so delicious! It's probably my favorite item on the menu and has kimchi pickles, sunny egg (which I got fried), feta cheese and this delicious homemade hot sauce. You can add Pork for $4 but I did not do this option. The second morning we went, I got my usuall Vanilla Latte w/ Oat Milk and decided to switch it up and get the Breakfast Tacos which are alos very good and filling. These are $16 and come with 3 tacos made of beer braised pork (I opted for a non-meat option), red potato, scrambled egg, onion, cabbage, cotija, creme fraiche and house sauce. Everyone is super friendly and helpful and that's always half the battle when going out to eat so it's refreshing for everyone to be positive and smiling when you are going out to eat. Since we came around 9am, there were only a few people and we were able to get a table with a heater outside because it was cold out but it was perfect once the heat was cranked up. Come early to enjoy the great coffee and food but be prepared to wait if you come during rush hour. Can't wait til next time! read more

Visited for brunch and their outdoor seating area is perfect and slightly shaded as well. Got the ricotta pancakes, chilaquiles, and breakfast tacos to share as a group and the food was pretty tasty. The pancakes were indulgent and really fluffy, wasn't a huge fan of the chilaquiles and overall lacked flavor for me, but the variety of tacos were yummy and the food we ordered was perfect for a group of 4. read more

The food looked amazing here and we were so looking forward to the meal especially when I saw soyrizo in the menu. I preferred the chilaquiles and breakfast tacos. The tacos were very very good and delicious and hearty. The chilaquiles on the other hand was 80 percent tostadas which were too crispy with not enough sauce to make it softer like a normal Chilaquiles. I would recommend they clean the aesthetics around the kitchen area window panels, vents and fans since it was black and clearly not cleaned in a bit. Once aesthetics taken care they will continue with the great food I saw others enjoying. All in all I'll come back when cleaned up before we order read more

We beat the crowd to Kitchenette on a Sunday morning, but it would have been worth the wait either way! Line was short when we arrived. Employees taking orders were doing double duty of serving, making drinks, answering questions, etc. so there was a bit of a wait. We snagged a table inside and loved the lively vibes of the place. You can tell this is a beloved spot. Food was amazing!! And there were so many options on the menu I was interested in. Would definitely return read more

Stopped here for brunch before we continued home to the Bay Area. It's a cute local restaurant with street parking and a small parking lot outside. You order at the counter and find a table inside or covered outside. We tried the pastrami Reuben, pozole verde, and breakfast sandwich - everything was delicious! The Reuben was very filling with perfect ratios, the pozole had so many ingredients, and the breakfast sandwich had the best brioche bun. read more

We were heading home from Paso Robles and wanted to try Kitchenette . Cute breakfast cafe. Food was delicious! I had the breakfast burrito with bacon. The other two had breakfast tacos and morning glory sandwich vegetarian with avocado. I took half of the burrito home. It came cut in half so that made it easy. Yum! read more

So many great choices! We went for the polenta mushrooms and the sweet potato hash. They were both excellent. The polenta had delicious mushrooms with red onions and spinach. The poached egg was perfect though the runny yolk gets dispersed in the sauciness of the general dish The balance in the sweet potato hash is great: salty meat, vinegar veg, Spicy jalapeño and sweet potato. Wish we lived close enough to try the corned beef hash !! The coffee is fine and service friendly read more

Oh my, I think I need to move to Templeton and start looking for a job just so I can eat here on a regular basis. I cannot believe they have mushroom polenta with poached egg.. this is putting all breakfast/brunch places in OC and LA for shame. The menu is slightly limited but every single item on there just makes my heart thump, skip a beat, jump a rope. Polenta is so simple and easy yet why can't they be on more menus instead of the terrible chilaquiles most places can't do right. And that bed of flavorful mushrooms and sauce.. dude, is it still considered impolite to lick a plate in public??! They also got a bomb, messy soyrizo burrito that's been grilled and crisped on the outside. I love that extra step of crunchy texture. Gotta appreciate the attention to flavor and mouth-feel details. Thanks Kitchenette!! I wish I lived in your 'nette walls! read more

Cutesy-wootsie Kitchenette didn't provide a good experience. Allow me to elaborate. While waiting to counter order, the nice display case with pastries had several flies on top of them. Yuck. Didn't see a door for the case, so it's a free-for-all. Not appetizing for me. I ordered a Pastrami Reuben for $18. The meat was not tender and fatty, and on top of that, it was too saucy. Not good. Unsure If I'll bother coming back. read more

Wanted some brunch on our road trip and found the BEST cafe. There's 5-6 tables on the inside and plenty of outdoor seating. But during brunch hours it does get quite busy. You order at the cashier and they'll bring out the food. There's self serve ice water inside as well. Shout out to the service. We initially sat outside, the waitress even brought out a table fan because there were bees outside. Too bad I'm deathly afraid of bees and had to move inside to eat. Corned beef hash 10/5 - so good and filling. The hash has such good flavor with the mustard sauce. I loved the addition of arugula and pickled onions. Definitely my favorite. Ranch hand salad 5/5 - ginormous portion well worth the money. They give you SO MUCH chicken it's literally falling off the plate. Good try on the scotch eggs - tasted a little bland. Traditional scotch eggs is normally wrapped in sausage and theirs isn't, only with breading. Good selection of coffees as well. Theres also pastries next to the cashier, we bought one for the road and didn't disappoint. Must try if you're in the area! read more

This place was not as big as I hoped, so it was sort of a wait to get a table, and the parking area is small, I had to park across on the main street. It was crowded when I arrived and I assumed it was because of the small indoor and outdoor seating area. Nope, it was purely because people loved dining here and I totally understand! The food was delicious! I treated myself to the lemon blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon, and a coffee. Don't underestimate the size of the pancakes in the picture lol there were thick and fluffy I almost couldn't finish it! Definitely worth bringing home as leftovers! The bacon was perfect, thick quality bacon, they give you 3 slices. The coffee was delicious and it was free refills of course! The staff were really nice. I was told the pancakes are actually smaller now because customers couldn't finish them lol well I'm not disappointed! read more

Fan Kitchen Born in 2015 as the sister restaurant to their (now closed) upscale sister restaurant Artisan, in Paso Robles. While not upscale in location or décor, Kitchenette is decidedly upscale on their presentations and the way they seek to reinvent and perfect standard breakfast classics. They've also kept with Artisan's ethos of farm-to-table dining, ensuring only the freshest and most ethically-sourced foods are prepared. The Good: *Love the décor that is part country table and part NY diner vibes. *Staff were all terrific *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *My mocha was phenomenal and as good as from any coffee house I've had. Nice balance of cocoa to coffee and not too sweet. *Carissa's Corned Beef Hash was outstanding, and the perfectly fried egg on top really sealed the deal. *The Posole Verde was phenomenal on flavor, presentation, and the addition of the (perfectly executed) Scotch Eggs was mind-blowing in both its uniqueness and flavor profile. This might be the perfect breakfast dish, as it was hearty and filling but light enough not to make one feel bloated. *Local brews on-tap *Prices are very reasonable for the quality and taste. I could see places in the Bay Area charging 1.5-2× as much for this quality of dishes. The Meh: *Templeton isn't the first place that crosses ones mind when visiting SLO County, but for food this good, it's worth seeking out. The Ugly: *Parking lot is a touch small and could fill up fast. Yeah, there's street parking available, but I'm trying to stretch to fill my format. You understand, right, Gov'nor? Conclusion: Fantastic spot for an elevated but not hoity breakfast in an underrated location. Highly recommended. read more

Funky little spot we stopped at during a recent road trip. Was pleased that they were serving brunch until 2 pm on a Sunday. Had an egg Benedict sandwich thingy which was surprisingly good but didn't come with any sides at all and for $15 seemed a bit steep. Service was good and the atmosphere on the outside patio had plenty of seating and good vibes. Would recommend. read more

My family and I always come to this place for breakfast when we're in town. Very good. It's just limited for seating.

Great vibes and great service! They always seem to be busy so do expect a little bit of a wait, but ordering is quite easy and they do have a lot of options to choose from. Love their gluten free and vegetarian/vegan options on their menu! I ordered the breakfast burrito and the iced mocha with almond milk. I really enjoyed both but definitely should have asked for more salsa for the burrito. The salsa was really good! The burrito tasted fresh and I enjoyed that it was grilled. I loved the iced mocha as it wasn't too sweet and you could still taste coffee. A perfect balance. read more
