Highly recommend the green eggs and pancakes. Delicious meals all around. Service was prompt both times we visited. Great value for price. Really nice outdoor seating on a beautiful March day.

Love starting my day at Kennsington Cafe! As a local, I always appreciate their cozy atmosphere and the delicious breakfast! We had a baked French toast and pancakes with a side of eggs. Well cooked food and their coffee is always brewed perfectly.

The service was attentive, courteous, and quick. The patio is dog friendly!

I used to live down the street from Kensington Café and it quickly became one of my favorite neighborhood gems. I’d walk my dog over for breakfast or grab a coffee and pastry to go—it’s that kind of cozy, friendly spot that makes you feel at home.

They have a full coffee bar (their matcha latte and seasonal drinks are great), plus a solid menu with gluten-free options. I love sitting outside on the dog-friendly patio, sipping an iced tea with free refills while people-watching.

I’ve tried a bunch of dishes over the years—omelets, pancakes, sandwiches—but this time I went for the quiche and it did not disappoint. The Spanish Revival is also delicious but very rich, so keep that in mind. The staff is always kind, attentive, and genuinely warm. Even on busy weekends, I’ve never waited more than 10–15 minutes for a table.

A true San Diego staple—friendly faces, consistently great food, and the perfect neighborhood vibe.

This is a super cute corner cafe! I’ve come a few times and the staff is always very welcoming and sweet! They have a wide variety of options on the menu and drink menu as well. The food and drinks taste very fresh! It’s definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area.
The American dream: (4.5/5) | ordered it with sourdough instead of the everything bagel, it was delicious! The eggs were fluffy, bacon was crispy and flavorful.
Iced chai: I ordered it with almond milk and a splash of vanilla syrup. It was perfect! I like mine on the sweeter side.

I had the tree hugger and Mexican mocha, both were delicious. Service is friendly and quick. Temp was a little chilly for me. Would definitely come back.

The coffee is good and the ambient is excellent. It opens a bit later at 7:30 am while the Starbucks across the way opens at 5 am. No complaint although open hours can be earlier?

My wife and I had wanted to come here for years. The plates are generous and well served. I was a bit surprised that a breakfast restaurant wouldn’t offer sunny side up eggs, but aside from that, the coffee, sandwiches, and waffles were all pretty good. I’d give it an 8 out of 10.
