"Kensington Cafe has long been the only local (read non-chain) coffee shop in Kensington. Morning after morning you'll find the same neighbors, some of them canine, enjoying a morning drink on the patio overlooking Adams Avenue. More than coffee and tea, you'll find a good selection of reasonably priced breakfast, lunch, and dinner items - many named after local streets, and all delicious." - Noble Intent Studio

You must try Kensington Cafe if you’re in the area. It was chilly but I ate outside because inside was packed. I got to do some great people watching as people walked by and enjoyed the day with dogs or children. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I got something off the specials- the hot honey chicken and waffle. The chicken was flavorful and crispy and the hot honey was not too hot but added a nice contrast to the sweetness of the berries and waffle. The waffle was super fluffy and had the most incredible flavor. I didn’t even really need the butter or syrup because it tasted so good. I also had a white chocolate mocha and it was perfection. Really enjoyed my brunch here and would definitely return.

Nicest staff! My son and I went in there for a latte and pastry and the staff were super friendly and polite. It’s hard to find good customer service these days, especially when you have a small child with you. The latte and pastries were delicious also. Highly recommend!

My first time here and I really loved it. Staff was super nice and welcoming. The place is beautiful and it’s dog friendly ( patio) We loved everything we ordered and it was all beautiful and delicious. Great place for sure.

I had the seasonal peach burrata toast today and it was incredible! I have also tried several other things on the menu for breakfast and lunch, sweet and savory and have never been disappointed. I absolutely love the staff here! The service is always amazing and the atmosphere is so positive. The patio is dog friendly and they are always the sweetest to my pups.

The food was quite good. I had the Marborough scramble, with chicken apple sausage, and really enjoyed it. The potatoes that it came with were great. We also ordered the brown sugar buttermilk pancakes to share at the table. These were good, but just kind of regular buttermilk pancakes. It was about a 40 minute wait on Sunday morning around 10:30 AM. The only thing we didn’t love was the service. Everyone who touched our table was very nice, but when we asked for things, they were always forgotten. A couple of times we had to get up and track someone down to get whatever we needed.

Great spot! Got a frittata, a burger, a seasonal peach basil toast and two Mexican mochas. Everything was great! We asked for the mochas to be half the sweetness and they came out just right 👍 Good service and the place is cute both inside and the outdoor patio.

Enjoyed my dining experience on a Sunday morning. Very good food, servers were nice but would take them a bit to be available for further requests. Would go back.
