Kitchenette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Templeton, California

Me & my significant other went to breakfast here the other day- we got a burrito and an order of the chilaquiles as well as some other drinks. The drinks were fine and the food was presented beautifully however- the breakfast burrito was essentially just a flat egg wrap which sadly didn't have anything else inside of it. The chilaquiles looked amazing but they were so spicy!! Myself and my partner only took 2 bites of the chilaquiles and had to stop. The ambiance and atmosphere was beautiful and very cozy but I don't think it was worth the $70+ we paid. Would be willing to go back however! read more

Delicious breakfast. Great coffee. Indoor and outdoor seating. Clean place. Farmhouse style decor. Slow service if they're busy. Visited on a Saturday around noon. It was still a bit busy at this time but there was plenty of seating. You'll want to immediately get in line to order your food before sitting at your table. We waited in line for about 10-15 minutes with only 2 people in front of us. This part moved fairly slowly, it would have been nice to hear from staff during this wait because we were unsure what the hold up was. All we saw were staff moving around, not tending to the line without providing updates or a simple "we'll be with you soon". After ordering our food, everything else ran smoothly. We got our food and coffee in good time and everything was absolutely delicious. Cleaned the plates! What we ordered: Corned Beef Hash (7.5/10) had a tangy flavor I could have gone without but still very good Chilaquiles (10/10) crunchy, perfect spice, and delicious. Never had chilaquiles with guajillo, so that was a nice surprise. Ricotta Pancakes (7/10) super dense, felt more like eating biscuits rather than pancakes. Good flavor though! Oat Latte (10/10) Will definitely be back when I'm in town again. read more

Kitchenette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Templeton, California

The inside of Kitchenette is small and cozy with a few tables scattered about inside. In addition, there are a few tables out front, as well as on their outdoor latticework covered patio. There are patio heaters should the weather be coolish. Staff is friendly, but service is limited to the delivery of one's meal, and clearing the table. One places their order at the register, gets their own beverage, napkins & silverware, and selects where they would like to sit. When ready, your food is brought to your table. We chose the Eggs Benedict and their Loaded Avocado Toast. The hollandaise sauce on the Benedict was very mild in flavor; it was not as rich & flavorful as many other venues. There was a good amount of ham tucked between the eggs and toasted English muffin bottom. The Loaded Avocado Toast had applewood smoked bacon, tomato, arugula, and a sunny side up egg on top. The bacon was extremely overdone, the avocado was elusive under the arugula and not plentiful. Parking can be a challenge as the parking lot is rather small. It was a decent meal but nothing that we would return for. read more

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

The food was delicious! We came for breakfast during a road trip to Paso Robles. The breakfast was delicious and hearty. The bacon is spectacular! Thick cut, old school bacon! The bread is interesting. Sourdough levian, I would have loved more butter but the strawberry and blueberry preserves were delicious and I believe house made. The service was good and friendly. The place had a chill local vibe. Everyone was friendly and eager to make suggestions. read more

I was waiting for someone at a medical appointment so I went for a quick breakfast to Kitchenette. Quick service and so pleasant. Must have a great reputation for take out breakfasts for the businesses near by as there was a constant flow of people picking up orders. I had the Eggs Benedict and it was fantastic, would highly recommend it and will definitely have it again. It's not far from Twin Cities Hospital and would be a great place for visitors to grab a quick bite. 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

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

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

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

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!

Went to Kitchenette in downtown Templeton for Mother's Day breakfast. It's such a small little spot and was absolutely packed with a huge line out the door. We totally expected a wait because of the holiday, but it honestly seemed like they were extremely understaffed for a busy Mother's Day morning. The same woman taking orders was also making all the coffee drinks, running food, and bussing tables. She was working incredibly hard, but it felt like way too much for one person to handle. We ordered coffees first, then waited while she balanced all her other jobs before eventually coming back to take our food order. We found a cozy spot inside and probably waited around 30 minutes for the food. That said, the meal itself was really good. We had a basic breakfast, the breakfast tacos, the Morning Glory sandwich, and the sourdough toast was especially delicious. Portions were on the smaller side for the price, but overall it was a tasty meal. We'd definitely consider coming back on a less crowded day when things hopefully feel a little more staffed and manageable. read more

The food was tasty and well prepared, which was the highlight of our visit. However, the service needs improvement. We waited a long time for our table to be cleaned, and when it was, the cloth used appeared dirty and very wet. We also waited nearly two hours for our breakfast to arrive. While the food was good, the overall experience was affected by the long wait and cleanliness concerns. read more

It took 30 minutes for us to receive our food. The people we were eating with ordered after us, and still we didn't receive our food until 15 minutes after them. The ricotta pancakes were undercooked and doughy. Expensive prices. read more

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

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 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

Visiting from New York & a friend recommended Kitchenette for some really good eggs, so we came here. There was a small wait for order of food, so we decided to start with the Blueberry Coffee Cake: SO GOOD! I knew I was in for a great breakfast. We both ordered Soft Scrambles on the menu, & she had sunnyside up & mine scrambled, with greens and chicken sausage, and sourdough bread they make in the kitchen: SO GOOD! Even the blueberry jam they make FROM SCRATCH?! SO GOOD! I almost ordered another plate! The best for me was the Vanilla Iced Latte, the taste was good, not heavy on the almond milk & the perfect amount of vanilla! The restaurant was busy (Sunday, morning time), but the staff really held it together like a strong unit & from I what saw, did a great job with balancing urgency & quality! Everyone was so friendly & helpful, I wish I could come back more often! This was definitely a five star experience. read more
