What People Are Saying About Kate's Kitchen

The Scene
Kate's decor is classic Lower Haight funk, with psychedelic Mayan-inspired paintings and a retro WPA-style mural celebrating the industries of the lower 48 states. Gingham tablecloths and kitchen chairs only further the welcoming atmosphere, drawing throngs of diners seeking to satisfy their comfort-food jones.
The Food
Classic American fare is served up with mom-worthy style. Blanched Flarney Garney, conveniently explained on the menu as a cheese and egg sandwich, is quite a tasty mix, though asking for your eggs poached can be messy. Hush puppies with pooh (aka honey) butter are light, fluffy drops of cornmeal with a crispy, greaseless crust. Cornmeal pancakes with blueberries, bananas and warm lemon curd are a gritty, wholesome treat slathered with real maple syrup (and pooh butter on request). A healthier option is the fruit orgy: a huge plate of fresh-cut fruits in plain yogurt with honey and granola.

After 40 minutes in the rain, we were expecting a stellar breakfast. To our disappointment, the eggs were watery, the "Lauren Special" was bland and dry and the coffee was bitter. The homefries were yummy, but nothing to make up for the eggs that ended up untouched on my plate. Maybe just an off day for the chef, but certainly not worth the wait.

I really enjoyed having breakfast at Kate's. I ordered the French Toast orgy, which was a huge plate that included 3 big slices of french toast and supersized serving of fruit. My bf ordered the cornmeal pancakes, which he wasn't too thrilled about. I would definitely come back. However, the wait is quite long on a saturday morning.

I had brunch at Kate's Kitchen on Saturday around noon and my party of 4 was seated within 15 minutes of arriving. I ordered the French Toast "Orgie" [$8, I had to mispell "Orgie" because Citysearch won't let me spell the real thing] with a side order of Hush Puppies. There were four or so slices of thick bread with orange spice as a foundation. On the bread was a mix of honey, granola, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberries, bananas, and watermelon. There would have been yogurt added to the mix, but I asked for it to be served on the side due to my lactose intolerance [probably more than you wanted to know]. The pile of french toast and deliciousness was so big that I could only finish half of it. The hush puppies were equally delicious since they were served with butter whipped with honey.
