    First time trying this local Granada Hills restaurant. Gathering with neighbors for a gab sesh over breakfast on Boxing Day. Despite the rain, the restaurant was warm and cozy and we arrived just before 9am, ahead of the weary crowds of post holiday diners. We were seated right away and drink orders delivered promptly. Questions about food substitutes was handled efficiently and friendly, with some additional suggestions which is appreciated. Food arrived within 15 mins of order so the kitchen was in top form. Everything looked delicious and, between bits of gossip, the reviews were positive. We stayed well after the plates had cleared. I don't believe we were keeping customers from the table, but we also weren't rushed by the staff. While we were a group of 4, I think this lovely spot would be best for intimate settings of 2. I would definitely recommend MKC as a meeting spot. While I opted for a basic parfait, after too much holiday indulging it was a light, refreshing break. Strawberries and blueberries were fresh, but the peaches canned. Tasty, but all fresh and seasonal if necessary would be the only recommendation I could offer. Everyone seemed pleased with their choices and I will def return - maybe even contributing some coffee mugs cluttering my own cabinets. Cheers! "CC"

    Gem hidden in plain sight. I've been living near this fine establishment and barely discovered. I must've been living under rock but glad I'm in the "know". Main Kitchen Cafe is a wonderful place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Huge menu, awesome drinks, and great service. The small business neighborhood feel gives it a warm charm. Food is excellent. I went with a group and was able to try out different things. I've never had fried catfish for breakfast. But I'm sure glad I did. Come on in and enjoy a nice warm dine-in experience. Parking is easy. Enjoy.

    Sunshine Ranch Burrito

    Was in the mood for a breakfast burrito and passing by so I decided to stop in. I must've arrived between breakfast and lunch and was sad immediately. The staff was all very friendly. Decided to go with the sunshine Ranch, breakfast burrito and it was great. Ingredients were clean tasting, and after eating a large burrito still felt great and not bogged down like some burritos can make you feel. Coffee is actually really good. Since it wasn't that busy, it was very calm and relatively quiet inside.

    5/5 I give this place. I gotta hand it to the kitchen staff for making our food good. It was cooked and seasoned well. The steak and eggs were fantastic! Pancake with berries, strawberries and bananas was also fantastic! I'm impressed. The staff were very helpful and paid attention to the customers and kept the place clean inside. Parking can be a challenge on a week day since it is shared with other vendors around and it they don't have a lot of space for many. Overall, it was a good experience eating here. Keep it up!

    Dining area decor

    Greeted by hostess quickly and kindly. We sat in a clean and inviting dining room. Not too fancy. Lots of wall decor and some music playing in background. We got our food quickly and enjoyed the meal and coffee. It was brought out quickly and the ingredients were great. I recommend this spot for breakfast. I would be careful where you park. I almost got hit when getting in and out of the parking spot along chatsworth. Park in the lot next door if possible. I would return in a heartbeat.

    My daughter and I are regulars here and we absolutely love the food ! The atmosphere is so calming and they always play nice music which makes our mornings. The servers, especially Mya, is filled with hospitality and is just the sweetest, always checking up on us. We have been here so often that the chef remembers our orders which we value so much

    Hemingway Benedict Breakfast
    Lidiya M.

    What a difference from the last time we went! Lox benedict was so tasty and the Hollandaise wasn't lemony at all! The huevos rancheros (plus avocado) were also delicious. Even the kiddo had a good time with the omelet. And the service - 10 stars! So friendly and accommodating! I've never been so happy to see a Paw Patrol sticker in my life! LOL

    Don't try the chilaquiles. They were the worse I have ever tried in my life. The first bad sign was that it came with both red and green salsa. I'm Mexican-American and know that that's a no no, but I tried it because the waitress said it was good. It was soupy and came with whole beans. The only good thing about it was the good cooked egg. Sour cream!!!. No! It was pretty insulting to our culture. Glad my mother wasn't with us. Indoor seating is limited. I don't mind waiting or being in crowded spaces if the food is good, not the case. The traditional breakfast was pretty good though. Comes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. The server was pretty rude at first. I didn't really care because if the food is good, I would overlook a bad server. She gave sarcastic remarks and didn't come often enough to refill waters and coffee. Will not return. Food was a bit pricey. A lot of non-Latinos were eating there. I should have known. The outdoor seating was nice, but this intersection is not. Very noisy and kept looking around when crazy drivers flew by.

    Chilaquiles with Sunny Side Eggs

    In an area where you wouldn't necessarily expect a great brunch place to be, there's a great brunch place. I visited Main Kitchen Cafe with my son one Sunday morning and we had surprisingly good foot, tasty and beautifully presented. The place was busy but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The menu has good options for vegetarians in both the sweet and savory categories. We both got versions of the Chilaquiles. My simpler-palated son got his with scrambled eggs and no sour cream. I asked for "chef's choice" and they brought mine with eggs over easy. It was truly delicious and beautiful looking in the bowl they served it with. The coffee was good enough. They've even got Beyond Sausage as a side option so, again as a vegetarian, I felt well taken care of here. The food is nice and upscale and we'll definitely come back to try more!

    I came to have breakfast with Mom . we ended up getting their breakfast burrito ( Chile verde) and we shared a plate of fruit with some toast. Service was great. The spot was clean. We did get seated towards the back and they did let us know that there was gonna be like some type of wind draft And so it might get cold but other than that, we had a good time orange juice was freshly squeeze so that was yummy. Parking can get a little bit complicated because it's off of Main Street but if you're lucky, you'll get parking right away and if not, you'll have to wait but not too bad.

    Chicken Fried Steak with potatoes, biscuit and country gravy...  oh wait.  They forgot the country gravy.
    Manny U.

    Let me clarify that this review is regarding their TO GO/PICK UP service. Eating at the Granada Hills location is great. Friendly staff and great food. HOWEVER the rating drops DRAMATICALLY when you order for pickup or delivery. Consistently forgetting items and the food quality is significantly worse when you take it to go. This latest example... I order their Chicken Fried Steak that comes with potatoes, a biscuit and country gravy. Order is picked up and THERE IS NO COUNTRY GRAVY. How is that a miss? Not to mention that I have to remind them that there is a drink that came with the order or that would have been missed as well. Long story short, it is worth it during the week when it's not crowded and the food is MUCH better when you dine in. Avoid to go orders at all costs.

    the Signature Breakfast
    Danica R.

    a cozy little breakfast spot for sure! service was okay during the few times i've stopped by, but the food is yum!

    Chicken and pancakes
    Sherice D.

    The service was really good. Our waitress was kind, quick and professional. The food was amazing. I had chicken and waffles and I've never had waffles cooked as delicious as these. The chicken tenders were seasoned much better than most places I've been to. I will definitely be back.

    Hi!? About how big of a party can come to the café? Is there anyway to reserve seating before hand?

    It's not a huge place biggest party I saw was 6 people but I could be wrong and I would call to ask about the reservation thing.

    Do you guys still serve the French toast with bourbon bacon, bananas, and macadamia nuts?

    That item is currently not available on our menu. Perhaps a different version of that will return in the future. Thanks for the inquiry. Hope that helped.

    Is it pet friendly?

    I was there 8/16/21 and a patio diner had her dog with them. It looked pet friendly.

I visited with my sister and law and my son, and they had no problem accommodating my son's stroller, but it might have been more difficult on a busy weekend vs the weekday of our visit. My sister and law and I split the Blueberry Pancakes with ricotta and house-made jam, and the Egg Cheese Bread. We both tried the the Pistachio Cloud Latte, and the Strawberry Cloud Tea. Everything was fantastic, but I particularly liked the coffee - the Strawberry Cloud tea I could have done without as it was a little too sweet. The Egg Cheese bread was as delicious as I hoped it would be, and the pancakes were not overly sweet, but still decadently divine! The Pistachio Cloud Latte was iced with a sweet cream cloud on top, and bitter and mildly sweet espresso and milk below the surface. We did not experience any issues with service during our visit referenced in other reviews. We will be visiting again to try the other items on the menu!

The Hair of the Breakfast Burrito was calling my name! - Spicy bacon and scrambled egg with red onions, red peppers, jalapeno, cheddar cheese, avocado , hash browns and Nashville hot sauce Im all for grilled veggies when it comes to eggs so this burrito along with the bacon and spice was perfect. It also comes with the side of fruit - blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, and melon- which adds some freshness. For $18.95 this was all very satisfying. Also they have their own hot sauce with has some heat - vinegar, garlic, Fresno chili, and habanero. I bought one to take home! They were out of my fav Raspberry jammer buttt went with the browned butter rice crispy treat instead. I've come to realize that anything that's browned Butter is always going to be a win. Every time I've been here they're always very busy, but they have a good system going for finding you a table. You just have to be patient.

I usually order this same meal and genuinely love it, but today just felt like a miss. The toast was extremely thin and hard--almost more like a crisp than bread. I asked if there was another option or even just a different slice, but was told that all the bread was like that, which was surprising since that hasn't been my experience here before. The house-made jam was also off today--it was much more watery than usual and didn't have that same rich texture I'm used to. The potatoes were underwhelming as well--lacking seasoning and slightly burnt. I will say, the server was kind and did bring out a vegan date pastry after I had already received my bill, which I appreciated. It just wasn't something I would typically choose, and nothing was adjusted on the bill. For the price, I just expected more consistency and care, especially from a place I usually really enjoy. I don't mind paying for a good meal, but today it just wasn't up to par. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've had much better experiences here in the past and would love to see them get back to that.
