i enjoyed the croissant french toast with bourbon bananas, and i definitely recommend it. it tasted heavenly. the place itself had a really nice vibe, and i'd definitely go again read more

Eh... So we came in on a Monday around 11. We were seated right away. The tables are really small, but I suppose they had to be since the restaurant itself was very small, and cramped. Our waiter was polite enough but seemed awfully distracted. They were pretty busy, but still... Not like a weekend brunch busy and regardless we shouldn't feel like we're bothering the waiter. There were two AC units in the windows but it hardly felt like they were on. It was very warm inside, which was bad because it was 95 degrees outside! We were given two menus, one for breakfast and one for lunch. They are very limited, which is ok I guess since it's a small place and it's impossible to maintain a large menu in a place that size, but I was kind of disappointed to see that you couldn't order sides in addition to your entree. For example, I would have liked a short stack of French toast with a scrambled egg and some bacon, or maybe a fruit cup, but none of that was available. I ordered the French toast and it was just French toast. No sides, not a combo of any kind, just three slices of Texas toast that were costumed as French toast. It was ok. Not the best but not the worst either. Also, the mug my hot water for my tea came in smelled like.... Raw eggs. As if it wasn't washed in water hot enough or with enough soap. You know that smell your dishes get when you wash them half-assed? Yeah like that. I dunno, it's just that I heard such great reviews about this place but I wasn't impressed and I most likely won't be back. There are loads of places to get breakfast in the LV... Though surprisingly not on a Monday, which is how we ended up here in the first place. Well, there you go. A positive. They're open on Mondays. read more

Wonderful place. Great food,ambience and service. Freshly made and not over priced. Highly recommend this place.

Love this place, it's small but just right, the service isn't super quick but the food is the bomb! Turkey bacon & bourbon banana fench toast, jalapeño/red pepper quiche mmm! read more

Had breakfast with my best friend here on a Sunday morning and it was great. The menu is small but has great choices. Makes it easy to pick what you want and the food was made fast. The decor is full of history and character. Our waitress was lovely. It's not a big place at all so it was nice for just the two of us. We had the mac &a cheese and each made our own omelet with their house potatoes which were amazing. Very good read more

This was a great spot- motivated me to try a little harder when I cook at home. Cook came and talked to us- he cares and it shows. What a gem! read more

Excellent burger! Great little place in north side Bethlehem. Went on the recommendation of a friend who does not recommend too many places. Glad I went. Good portions, good prices. The burger was cooked exactly how I asked. read more

I first walked in and saw how the entire layout was open so the customers can see their food being made which was amazing. I love the open atmosphere it makes me feel safe with the food they're cooking. The man that cooked my food, his name was Sean and my croissant French toast was freaking delicious. I have never had such good French toast so good and the bourbon bananas were SOOOO good, I wanted to continue eating them for the rest of my life. I see myself going there for breakfast a lot more in the near future, and I also would love to see their lunch menu as well. read more

Definitely need to go back and check out more of the menu. Bourbon banana French toast was our standout dish. Killer! The bbq'd shrimp and cheddar grits in crepes was excellent, as well. Decent sized portions. Good service. read more

I had heard quite a bit of buzz in regard to this spot. The apple maple bourbon French toast was off the hook. Huge portion, and everything was as expected. White bean Parmesan quiche was also will executed. A smidgen over cooked, but the place was really busy on a weekend morning. The breakfast Mac and cheese was a real pleaser to the under 10 crowd my group. 2 kids can eat off of one entree. My only complaint is that the coffee was terrible. Watered down and tasteless. If your gonna serve high end breakfast at the rate of 40 dollars for a family of four, please take pride in your coffee. With a local roasting house just down the street (Monacacy Roasters) WHY WHY WHY wouldn't you reach out to them? Please upgrade your coffee for the sake of breakfast people in Bethlehem. read more

My friend and I came here yesterday for my birthday brunch and let me tell you how delicious the food was once I stop drooling from the memory of it. K I'm good, here it goes. It's a small but charming little space. You can sit at the bar and watch the food being prepared or sit at a table... and still be able to watch the food being prepared. Very cozy, which is a plus for me. We were offered both the breakfast and lunch menus, both of which had killer options from traditional breakfast/lunch meals to a lil somethin' new. I had the mac & cheese breakfast which included an egg, bacon, sausage and a potato bottom. If that had been my last meal of life, I would have died happy because of how crazy good it was. All in all, fantastic experience. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Also--just gonna throw it out there-- the guy behind the counter who made fun of me for almost forgetting my takeaway box was super cute, I may be in love. Bonus star for him. read more

I have nothing but good things to say here. The spot is small-too small for the grandiose flavors. I had the croissant French toast with bourbon bananas and died and went to heaven. My dining companion loved the breakfast Mac and cheese which I enjoyed as I picked at his plate. The rest of the menu looks equally enjoyable and the prices are right!! The portions are generous and the staff is friendly. Take a trip off Main St. and make sure you stop by The People's Kitchen! read more

Stumbled upon this establishment via Yelp after an overnightat the Sands. We aren't the continental brekkie at the hotel type and People's Kitchen was a short ride away and up our alley. Good and personable service. Small spot with tons of charm. Great coffee. Food was delicious. The mister had the breakfast man n cheese with an over easy egg and said it was cheesy, well seasoned and tasty. More food than what it looks/seem like. I had the pancakes because I was in the mood for a short stack. The bananas bourbon on the side was stellar--they are buckwheat pancakes so not as buttermilk and soft as I would have liked. We definitely want to come back for lunch. Note: it was a packed house on a Monday at 10am. Now THAT'S saying something! read more

Me and my boyfriend stopped by the morning to get breakfast and the waitress/cashier was not very welcoming. She was rude and it definitely didn't seem like she cared or enjoyed her job at all and we could tell. The service was not that great and the food was okay. In my opinion not worth the visit but that's just me. Perhaps if there was a different and more friendly worker things would have been different. read more

Loved it! I went in for lunch & both breakfast & lunch menus looked so good it was hard to decide which way to go. I ended up having the shrimp & grits crepes & they were delicious. My co-workers had the breakfast skillet & Irish turkey sandwich. All the meals looked just like the other Yelpers pictures. All menu items looked so good I will have to go back the next time I'm in the area. If I had seen the picture of the bourbon croissant French toast, I don't think I could've resisted ordering it! The place is adorable too, with cute bicycle decor and nice waitstaff. read more

Reliably good food and engaging staff. Really like the ambience and feel of the place.

Small and wonderful. Good prices and variety. Good coffee. They work hard and are incredibly nice. The decor and music were throwback but worked. Comfortable and personal. read more

Yum! I got the croissant French toast with berry compote... very good! My husband got pancakes and loved them as well. Docked one star only because the coffee was pretty bad. Oh well, we will go back! read more

Tater tot skillet topped with an egg and bacon was good. Service was good. It's a very small place so our group of 6 sat at the bar. Bathroom was freezing! read more

Cool atmosphere. Great food. Simple menu. When we arrived, we waited a little longer for service than we should have. From the time our drink orders were requested until we left, the service was great, though. I ordered the quiche (sausage, jalapeño, pepper jack) w/salad & my husband ordered the croissant French toast with banana bourbon sauce. We were both very impressed with the food. Will definitely visit again. read more

Had a great experience here this morning. Billy is an entrepreneur and makes a big effort to deliver great food at great prices. He understands the fundamentals of how to build a clientele. Please eat here and support him! read more

The best bacon ,egg & cheese (breakfast sandwich) you can find in the Lehigh valley. My husband & I have tried different places since moving here from NYC & for a moment we felt like we were back in the city. Food & service is very good. I loved the menu very fun. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I waited awhile & a larger group walked in & immediately got seated. It seems they reserve their tables of 3 or 4 for groups of that size so if you're a party of 2 you wait while the table stays open, it makes sense but still annoying. read more

Pretty standard breakfast. Both mine and my husband's good was just okay. Not much attention to detail in the food (jalapeños in my quiche weren't chopped well so some bites had huge chunks of jalapeño while others had a good balance). OJ is store bought which was unexpected in a small place like this. Staff were nice. read more

Found this gem purely by accident. One chef, two servers all in the open. It doesn't " look " like a must go. However... The food and service were impeccable! I had chicken croquet with a smoked Gouda dipping sauce; my husband had a beautiful carved turkey artisan sandwich. I cannot wait to return to sample more. The menu is small but has great choices. Go! You won't regret it! read more

Tiny little place run by college kids. Food is good. Found an eyelash in mine but other than that everything was good.

The food was great. I personally had the crab bread (I believe that's what it was called) with fries (shoo string). The coffee I had was ok, not amazing but not terrible, but there's nothing wrong with that. Not every restaurant needs fresh ground gourmet French pressed coffee. I would definitely recommend and return for a breakfast. My only complaint would be the hours because I usually work when they're open. read more

This is a *tiny* place packed with great food. The menu is somewhat small, but I think there's still something for everyone. We had breakfast here twice so far and it was just delicious each time. The staff consisted of one waitress and one cook and they had their operation down to a science. Everything seemed very clean and the coffee was tasty too. We will be back! read more

This was an unexpected treat for breakfast! How can a place be so close, yet fly under the radar? I'm glad we finally found you, The People's Kitchen! Delicious quiche, omelette, home fries, & salad! Can't wait to return to try more deliciousness! read more

Peoples kitchen is the most delicious place in the area! We have been frequenting there for a few years now. Mostly for breakfast and occasionally for lunch. We have been many places ,but it's hard to beat this place! The best breakfast around, no matter what you order. And great lunch too! Tried their burger and loved it! If want a consistently good breakfast, this is the place! Also the most wonderful and friendly staff and owners! read more

Party of two for breakfast. Three stars for the coffee, which was quite good. I had the Texas Toast french toast. My friend had The Hipster, which looked great on the menu but was just a brie sandwich with a couple of small triangles of apple. I mean, nothing was wrong. It just wasn't anything special. I think more design went into the menu than the decor. Service was fine. Food was fine. Unimpressed. read more

Went here for breakfast a few mornings before work. The staff at Human vs Room loves The People's Kitchen! From the moment you walk through the door you are greeted with smiling faces and high energy from their staff. Their menu is so unique, fresh and delicious! Highly recommend this place to everyone looking for some good breakfast. read more

This cafe is in a location that has had many other eating places....all have failed. Sometimes a place just has a negative history that jinxes all future endeavors. OK, I am confused with the name: "The Peoples' Kitchen." are we in Russia, nah! we're not in Russia. (to quote a line from a famous movie). These owners probably were not raised during the cold war when the news would report of activities in the USSR and frequently would refer to "The Peoples' this and that-referring to how state owned business were named. Yes, I was put off by the name as it triggered memories of A-bomb fallout practice in school-under your desk kids! I remember my school was a fall out shelter and had rations of crackers and drums of water in the basement. Guys, couldn't you think of another name? I was expecting to come into the business hearing glorious military music of Mother Russia and see portraits of Lenin and Stalin adorning the walls. OK, I was wrong....onto the food.... The place was clean, although I have to admit the front door situation is odd-the door opens in, God forbid there is a fire and the place has to be evacuated. I wonder how this passed city code? There appears to be a cadre of regulars there. I was given a printed menu and the selections are sparse, but that doesn't matter as long as there is quality. I ordered the regular breakfast with sausage. It took about 20 minutes to prepare-too long for breakfast. I was ready to walk out. Please don't use the excuse that everything is prepared fresh. I get tired of hearing that. That excuse is not carte blanche for poor service. The plate was arranged very nicely and the eggs were fluffy, sausage not overcooked, bread perfectly toasted. The potatoes were another story; dry, overcooked and so hard that I thought I was eating bits of granite. I almost thought I would have to go see the dentist for cracked teeth. Sorry, I am not into eating rocks for breakfast. The place is tiny and a group of young adults came in. They were seated directly in back of me to the point of needing helmets to protect ourselves from our heads crashing into each other-that's how close they were. The place was almost empty-they could have been seated elsewhere and they also would have had more room? Prices are reasonable, but in the valley of a $2.50 breakfast, they are overpriced. I would categorize this place as an "Indie Dining" cafe. So, if you like dining indie style this place is for you! I actually ran into a former patient there, who is a regular. Unfortunately, because of this, I won't be back. Breakdown: Cleanliness: 4 stars Service: 2 stars Food quality: 2 stars Price: 3 stars Overall: 3 stars read more

This place is on the corner, tucked away. It's a local place that is truly a gem. The place is small and seating is limited. The breakfast was awesome and it's the reason there is a line to get in. Great Place!!! Worth the wait. read more

Great food!! Small space but go early and you get seated right away! Good service as well

In Bethlehem, this is the best place that served food after a month of being here. The atmosphere is cramped, but the servers are really pleasant and attentive. I enjoyed breakfast a few times and can recommend the buckwheat pancakes with the bourbon banana toppings. The quiche of the day when I ordered it was too dry for my taste, but, surprisingly, the simple side of salad my have been the best thing they had. Should I ever be back in Bethlehem, I will definitely return. read more

We love the people's kitchen. We are there early for breakfast about twice a month. The food is always delicious and reliable, and the service is always great. We love to take guests, it's a great hometown diner, without the grease! The homemade bread is always good. read more

Friendly staff, good music playing, and great food! I'm from NYC and was passing tnrough, I'd definitely stop here again if I'm in the area.

I took my parents here while they were visiting and we all loved our food. The bourbon banana pancakes were decadent and perfect shared, and the hash special we got was just as delicious. The portion sizes weren't overwhelming, and our server was really helpful with suggestions. The restaurant is on the smaller, narrower side, so it's better for pairs, small groups, or even solo. read more

We had a wonderful breakfast and lunch was an option too...comfortable and friendly. The owner was attentive as well. We can be loud, unintentionally and they were great. I think Billie looks like Luke Bryant, lol! Stop by, it's worth it. Everyone did a beat job and we will be back to try lunch. read more

I recently visited for the first time at a friend's suggestion. It was a very pleasant surprise! I ordered the mac and cheese with egg and happily savored the whole thing. My friend ordered some kind of French toast and was also pleased (it was her first visit as well). It's a small place, we went around 8:30am on a weekday and had no wait to be seated, but I can imagine it getting crowded on a weekend with such delicious food. I had no problem finding free street parking right out front. The menu is pretty small, and not things I would have usually order for breakfast, but I'm happy to have my horizons broadened! The staff was very friendly and attentive. The only reason it's four stars is to leave room for improvement after I try more than one thing from the menu! read more
