Hello, I stopped in today to grab an array of baked deserts for my partners birthday. It was my first time in, and I drove up from Oakland.
Everything was incredible and reasonably priced. We especially enjoyed this strawberry lime curd tart bar thing!!
The mushroom pizza was also very tasty!

It’s a local cute cafe with delicious sandwiches and bakeries. Wood oven pizzas are thin crust and great.
Limited inside and outside seating. Clean and decent room inside to sit or rearrange tables to your party. Limited outdoor seating.
Service is order-to-sit and your food will be delivered.
Very few veggie option like eggplant sandwich. Few (good) local beer can options only.
Great for seniors, kids, couples. Not so great for large groups or gathering unless pre arranged.
There is parking lot being the block as well as free and paid street parking.
Will be back for carrot cakes and more sandwiches.

This place is the best! The kale caesar with crispy chicken is amazing – the dressing is unreal – and the pizzas are so good (get the corn one in the summer)! Baked goods are also delish. Such a gem in the neighborhood.

Very happy to have Summer Kitchen cater our baby shower; the sandwiches, salads, and cupcakes were a hit! People raved about the Roast Beef and Fried Chicken sandwiches. Had some good options for the vegetarians in the group too. Service was great and they helped guide us to a perfect menu for the event.

It was fine. Cute interior. People rave about the egg salad sandwich, but it seemed like a regular egg salad sando to me. Everyone around me got served fresh food from the kitchen by a server, but for some reason they took a pre-made sandwich that had been pre-wrapped and sitting around and plopped it on a plate at the register. I will go back and try some other dishes.

One of the best restaurants in Elmwood (4.5/5 green stars)
It’s so easy to walk right by Summer Kitchen without even noticing it. It’s a narrow shopfront with just a few tables outside and it’s easy to miss as you ponder ice cream and other offerings from neighbors. Well, take it from me – forget ice cream and get a baked item from Summer Kitchen instead! Or try a pizza, or an egg salad sandwich – possibly the best egg salad sandwich you’ll ever have. But if you are limited for time, try one of the fresh fruit pastries (galette) – they seem expensive at $12 but they are big enough for two and totally worth it!

I’m giving Summer Kitchen 4/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. The positives are obvious – most of the ingredients are organic and locally sourced. Everything is made from scratch and there is transparent sourcing of the meat and fish (Mary’s free-range chicken, etc.). There are a reasonable amount of vegetarian options and you can definitely find some vegan dishes too (salads, sandwich, pasta). Summer Kitchen could make the biggest environmental impact by scrapping beef from the menu – replacing it with plant-based alternatives, ideally. Beef has a carbon footprint of around 10 times that of chicken and over 100 times that of pea protein, on average. If everyone one the planet ate 1 lb. of beef per week (the US average), total greenhouse gas emissions would increase by one third! I’ll write a post illustrating all of this soon on the Green Stars Project.

So I really appreciate that Summer Kitchen makes more effort than the vast majority of restaurants on improving sustainability so that’s my suggestion for the biggest opportunity for improvement – cut the beef.

Local fast casual that I frequented before moving to Sacramento. Great for a quality quick lunch/dinner if going to Greek theater or movie. Counter service but food is brought to table. Delicious fried chicken and !

One of the worst service I ever experienced(and pizzas). After we waited over 40 minutes for the pizzas, we were told they had online orders before us. I told Alena, one of the attendants, she could have mentioned it at the time of the order that wait time for food will be long. She looked extremely tired, probably end of the shift, pity. She pointed on a guy at the end of the restaurant and told me I can go and talk to him,” he is the owner” she said. Well, as a customer/guest, I thought, it is the owner responsibility to come and check for the issue, not vis versa. For the pizzas, don’t want to be negative, but try other places if you want a real pizzas. I do not recommend this place.

The most amazing California cuisine. Everything I’ve had from Summer Kitchen has been super delicious, every little detail of each dish. They epitomize the standard for a farm to table restaurant. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Recently discovered this place on College Ave. Great little casual eatery. Perfect place to pick up food to go – but they also have places to dine both inside and outside. I’m a huge fan of the spiced chicken sandwich.
