"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

Delicious food & very friendly staff. We were a party of 11 with 2 dogs and they went above and beyond to seat us together even though we were ok with sitting separately. Will definitely be back when visiting San Diego.

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!

Came here around 9am on a Sunday, we were sat pretty fast, the service was great. The cafe is loud but not obnoxious, but definitely not the vibe if you just want a coffee and relax. The coffee was amazing I had a flying nun and it was so good. Food was good too and fresh. Will definitely be back.

Loved this place! Eight of us and one baby & they were able to accommodate us within 5 minutes! I absolutely loved the honey lavender latte! Our waitperson was so very nice & helpful! Sadly, I do not remember her name to give her proper kudos!
