Kensington Cafe

You know you have great regulars when they show up for breakfast with a can of WD-40 because they had noticed the kitchen door was kinda squeaky. Thanks, Stan!!! You are the best!

Good ideas start with brainstorming. Great ideas start with coffee!

Happy Sunday! We have just the fuel you need to end your week on a high note. The Baumann breakfast sandwich is a customer favorite. Try it out today!

Did you know that all our scrumptious pastries are baked in-house? That’s what makes them extra magical! Next time you need a quick breakfast fix, grab a coffee and pastry to go!

It’s #grilledcheesesandwichday and boy, do we have a great one for the kiddos! Eating at Ken Cafe is truly a family affair. Check out the kid’s menu to see what your little one can order!

Brunch is our favorite sport! Especially on #easter. We are open today with regular hours. Join us! Pic: @julieferneau

We will be OPEN on Easter from 8am to 3pm so make your brunch plans now. We can’t wait to see you guys!

We know our breakfast gets a lot of shine, but don’t forget about our lunches! Woowee do we have some deliciousness waiting for you- Like this Vegan Power Salad with hummus!

Sometimes Tuesdays feel like Mondays... and so does every week day after that Come grab a cup of coffee and a house made pastry to step up your weekday routine!

A little bit of #breakfast : Chilaquiles + a little bit of #lunch : Ken Club with Pasta Salad = a delicious weekend #brunch spread Thanks @goodeatswithamanda for the post and pic!

If you think you can win me over with food... you are absolutely right lol. #lovelanguage @kensingtoncafe @slim_ro_rojo

We got the sweetest delivery from these McKinley kids today! We have participated in the chili cook off for many years to help raise money for their great school. This year they turned the tables and raised money for the restaurants to show us their support during what has been a tough year for our industry. Thank you so much for your consideration. We seriously you!

Good morning and happy Saturday! We have a super awesome drink special for you all weekend long- get one of these carafes of Strawberry Basil Lemonade spritzers for only $15! Perfect pairing for a yummy brunch on the patio... I think we just planned your morning for you

We are currently continuing our patio service and take-out & delivery only at this time until we can get our staff all fully-vaccinated.

The Safe Parking Program helps unsheltered San Diegans living out of their vehicles, many of whom are experiencing homelessness for the first time. We were honored to be a part of these programs and continue to do our part to give back to the community. We are still accepting meal donations online at kensingtoncafesd.com - please donate if you can, and remember if you or someone you know is in need, you can call us to request a free meal - no questions asked.

We know we have said this before but we our customers, all of you!!! We really are so thankful for your support and patronage over the years. Here is a throwback pic of one of our many great regulars, Rose!

Thanks to @gregmartinrealtor for our coffee sleeves. We love our neighborhood and so does he! Greg is a customer, climbing gym buddy and realtor in the area and couldn’t be a nicer human being. Thanks, Greg #iheart92116 #kensington #normalheights #universityheights

Meet Fausto, our Kitchen Manager! Fausto has worked for us for 7 years and is honestly just the best! He holds down the kitchen on the busiest of weekend days and is always willing to lend a helping hand. He bounces to the other two restaurants when we’re in a pinch and has really grown so much in his time with us. Working with a team of female managers, he holds his own, appreciates the fine art of our sarcasm, and and is always down for a good laugh (or a cold Modelo). #teamfausto

We are happy to announce that we will be extending our weekend hours! Now you have an extra hour to get the brunch or lunch you have been craving in.
