This bakery in Kingston really hits!! I grabbed an assortment of pastries on my way to see my dad today. The Berry Cobbler Bar was absolutely fantastic! It was out of this world good, as was absolutely everything else we sampled! If you're traveling through Kingston, don't pass up this little gem! They make amazing coffee, and there's a little bookstore next door, full of local artists and authors. A real small-town gem! read more

Consistently below expectations both with the caliber of their baked products and their flippant "service"-- if you can call it that. First their baked goods are stodgy and not properly executed. Their shortbread tastes like cardboard and is nothing like English shortbread should be. No good butter in evidence here. Their koign amman is not even crisp on the outside. There is something off with each baked item. If you enjoy dump and go style baking that don't require any refinement but are full of American sugar, I think you will feel this is an elite bakery. Otherwise, this is a bad knock off attempt. Scones seem to be chewy and tasteless. I got a "lemon poppyseed" polenta cake where there was no lemon-y flavor at all! It was also heavy and couldn't handle more than 3 bites at a time. Stuck in the gullet. Second their service is appalling. The people behind the counter are all in on some inside ball game and customer service is not their emphasis. They are looking away while half-heartedly asking you what you would like, and more interested in serving up verbal repartees to their co-workers while distractedly trying to complete a sale. You can expect to repeat your order a few times. Then there's the off-handed use of bakery tissue which is not quite neat and hygienic. I mean it's a shambolic operation that gets away with it because there is no competition in Kingston unless you take the ferry across to Edmonds. read more

A friend of mine suggested this place when I asked where to visit in kingston and out of all the options, I'm glad I chose this one to visit first. It's really nice inside, I had the brownie and hot chocolate. best hot chocolate I ever had when compared to the one I usually get at the cafe by my job. I had to wait a while for my drink but it was worth it. I'll most likely come by again. read more

Well the soup seemed fine, but what the heck kind of cafe doesn't have internet? I am here to have a late lunch and attend my dumb Zoom meeting. What the heck? A cafe with no internet? And it is right on my commute, but I won't be back. read more

We stopped here on our first morning visiting Poulsbo. My wife had their egg and ham breakfast sandwich on a biscuit and she said it was the best egg sandwich she has eaten . I tried the brisket Reuben which was also very good. The bakery items looked delicious read more

The Borrowed Kitchen is a great little bakery in the shopping plaza, so plenty of free parking, which is difficult in downtown Kingston. Stopped in here with a friend to discuss a project and wanted a space to have great coffee, with a baked treat, and be able to sit at a table and talk. This place checked all the boxes! There are so many delicious baked goods to choose from, it's hard to decide. I will definitely be returning to try their freshly made bread, and soups to go! read more

Hands down, the BEST clam chowder we found along the west coast. We've tried many others along the way. Homemade right there, along with other makings. Friendly. Wonderful dedicated people. Closed Sundays & Mondays, plan accordingly. read more

I absolutely love Borrowed Kitchen Bakery!!! Every time that I visit my family, this my favorite stop!! Borrowed Kitchen Bakery is a classic small batch bakery in which every item does not disappoint (I have practically tried everything on the menu)! My favorites have to be the chocolate cake, lemon blueberry danish, and apple fritter. The chocolate cake is a three layer cake with a chocolate ganache frosting. This is definitely something to share between two people or have extras for tomorrow. The lemon blueberry danishes generally are out by 8/8:15 ish and served warm from the oven. They are so fresh and I love the addition of fresh zest on top. If you generally prefer a donut as opposed to a danish, Borrowed Kitchen Bakery makes a delicious baked apple fritter! They split into thirds then bake it so that the fritter opens in the open with a cinnamon apple center. You have to try it! read more

This place is so cute and the bakery items are delicious! I got the orange cinnamon roll and a scone and they were both so good. I was surprised to see that they have sandwiches and an entire lunch menu so I'm excited to go back and try some of those items. And it has a door connecting to the bookstore nextdoor! Definitely recommend this place! read more

I have lived in Kitsap County for 23 years and have never been here. My friend took me here after our hike for a pastry. Our visit ended up not only purchasing baked goods but staying for lunch. Wow! The citizens of Kingston have wonderful gem in their community! This bakery features breads, amazing pastries and baked goods, a breakfast/lunch menu and coffees. I had the veg sandwich on bread made by the bakery. It was delicious. By the stream of customers, this is a popular spot. There are tables to dine on, self busing. The staff are friendly and helpful. read more

The sandwhiches, soups, burrito's, and the savory crossant here are not good and are overpriced. Who is asking for a crossant that tastes like a poorly made slice of pizza? The $14 dollar tuna melt is an absolute catfood nightmare joke, I gave the other half of it to the dog. The cinnamon roll here is good but nothing special. The bread here is nothing special. Had a mocha here once and it was not good. The bear claws, scones, danishes, and crossants here are actually quite the opposite of everything else...they are very good provided their oven is working correctly that day...I once got a crossant with a raw center bc of a misbehaving oven...note to staff: if the oven is not working dont operate it. It is the owners responsibility to ensure the kitchen is functional and it is the health departments responsibilty to shut you down if the owners dont want to do that. They did replace the raw crossant upon request a few days later but the mistake of serving raw dough really should not be happening at a bakery. read more

Great deli sandwiches! I like the espresso and the bakery treats are so tempting! They also have family-size entrees available - stop by, you won't come away empty-handed! read more

Fabulous treats! Got two boxes of goodies for a party and they were delicious. Especially popular was the Parmesan peppercorn bread.

This morning, I stopped by borrowed kitchen and purchased a cup of soup to go for seven dollars. Once I settled in at work and opened my lunch, I noticed that my "cup" of soup was served in a much larger container -- but with less than a cup of soup inside. Even though I felt a bit embarrassed, I decided to return to address the issue because I had paid for a full serving. The woman at the register was very kind and helpful, which I appreciated. However, when she went to speak with the kitchen staff, I could clearly hear the frustration in their voices. They weren't quiet about it, and I found that to be unprofessional. In the service industry, presentation and attitude go a long way. When I looked at my soup, all I saw was a lack of care -- not just in portion, but in attention to detail. If the wrong container is used, the right thing to do would be to fill it appropriately or remake the order correctly. A "cup" of soup, especially one priced at seven dollars, should be served as advertised. While the tomato basil soup itself was delicious, the experience left a poor impression due to the attitudes I overheard and the lack of effort to correct the issue properly. In the end, I was handed a smaller container with about the same amount of soup -- which didn't resolve the problem. read more

These folks are so great. We search out sourdough breads and they have so many choices, baked fresh every day, warm and crusty. Plus, their pastries and sandwiches are so good! I love their polenta orange cake with a cup of hot tea on a rainy day. Can't beat sitting at a window table, listening to the hubbub of the customers, reading my book from Saltwater Books right next door that shares the building, watching the winter rain outside. Borrowed Kitchen is a great bakery, lunch spot, hang spot! Oh and they have a huge freezer case of ready to go take-n-bake hand prepared meals too! Really great offerings (ranch n bacon Mac n cheese, root veggies n pork, Cuban pulled pork, chicken Alfredo, a whole Turkey dinner.... (Have to check out what they offer as it varies seasonally). Perfect for those I don't want to cook nights. We come here a lot! read more

A guilty pleasure that leaves me with a clean conscience... If there's one place I will without fail bring any visitor, it's Borrowed Kitchen. No matter what you crave, from make-your-mouth-water savory to giggle-triggering sweet, you'll be satisfied. I try to choose something new every time. Today it was the sandwich of the day (Caprese) and a special order sparkling coffee request...both were excellent. My favorite thing to keep at home is a bag of their decadent-yet-guilt-free house granola (which I keep stashed and only get in to when no one will notice). I hope this doesn't come off as hype. I truly love what BKB does. I'd be there every day (and 30 lbs heavier), but if it became my "normal" I'd be setting myself for disappointment going anywhere else. If you're ever anywhere near Kingston you will not regret a visit. read more

Excellent food, fabulous small batch bread bakery, great service, working to support families in need over the holidays.

I read some reviews about their ham & cheese croissants on here and obviously had to go try one. Rolled in around 8:30am, walked up to the counter, asked if they had any in stock today. They kindly directed me to where they were and my eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning. There stood over a dozen buttery, puffy, stuffed croissants of joy! Ham & Cheese Croissant: Huge! You can see the butter on the outside was baked to a delicious crisp. Mouth watering. The sides oozed melted cheese that seduced me to explore the inside. First bite...ecstasy! Flaky outside turns to soft, deliciousness inside...the juxtaposition was inspiring. I need more of this! Service: Excellent. The staff I interacted with were very nice, welcoming, and helpful. read more

When I came in on Saturday, I placed a phone order the girl who placed it for me when I called and totally forgot about my order so I had to wait an extra 30 minutes upon watching the girl prep my food. She was continuing to eat her burrito above my burrito While using the same gloves she was prepping my food with touching her food. This place is not very sanitary I already reported them to food and safety of Washington. I highly recommend you to watch the people who are prepping your food. If you decide to go here the owner came out when I made a complaint about it and she was highly aggressive towards me same with the staff I highly do not recommend this place. It has gone downhill ever since they moved to their new location! On top of that they messed up my order. They only gave me half of my gravy. They gave me two bacon burritos when I asked for one sausage and one bacon they can't get their crap together on top of that. All their staff is high school students they don't have any adults working here besides the owner read more

My husband and I dropped by this cozy bakery for lunch at about 12:30 pm, yesterday (Saturday, September 28th). The young woman who served us was surprisingly unfriendly. It wasn't busy. We placed a simple order, each choosing a sandwich (no substitutions or special requests), and each ordering an iced coffee. The server barely responded to us and never cracked the slightest smile, though we were kind, and we left her a tip. We concluded that she must be having a bad day. We're all human, so we were happy to give grace. We shrugged it off and chose a table by the window. A few minutes later, another customer came in, and like a light switch, the young server became an entirely different person, friendly, bubbly, and chatty. We were stunned. Apparently, she just didn't like US for some reason. Because we aren't regulars, perhaps? (We do live locally, and this was our third visit). The food was pretty good, and the coffee was wonderful. But the service was lacking, and we definitely didn't feel welcome. read more

Like baked goods from that one friend who is an at-home master baker and puts their love into their creations. Ham and cheese croissant is perfect. Chocolate cake was decadent and delicious. I am so glad to have stumbled upon this wonderful bakery. The store is not very apparent from the main road, just look for Henery hardware and Grocery Outlet, it's between. read more

Borrowed Kitchen Bakery - Chocolate cake! Some of the best that I've ever had. - Bakeries Near Me - Kingston, Washington

I recently ordered a birthday cake from Borrowed Bakery and it was quite pricey but wow, was it amazing! The mocha chocolate cake for 25 people was a lot more than I thought it would be price wise ($140) but the thing weighed about 17lbs and was honestly the best cake I've had from a commercial bakery. It was dense but not in a bad way, and it wasn't too sweet. You could really appreciate the flavor of the chocolate and the mocha. It was an easy pick up process. I ordered it over the phone and the staff was very friendly. I also tried a drink and an orange roll when I went to pick it up and that seemed a lot more reasonably priced and the roll was delicious! I had never been to the bakery before and don't spend much time in Kingston, but it really seemed like there is a vibrant close knit community and this bakery/coffee shop/book store were a key part of it, which really makes me want to come back. Definitely worth the drive to Kingston! read more

This review is based on my sister and my husband's review of the baked goods. I am GF so was not able to eat here. My sister lives in Kingston and goes here every week for their fresh baked bread and a slice of the chcolate cake. She claims it is the best chocolate cake she has ever eaten! So of course we had to take my husband because he is obsessed with Chcocolate. He was not dissappointed. The cake was rich and dense--a chocolate lovers dream. So big, it would be hard to eat in one sitting. I did enjoy a hand crafted latte. It was great, and I assume a nice addition to the cake! read more

Great place to stop by for a quick bite or breakfast! Was visiting around town and got hungry so me and my friend decided to stop by this place and give it a try. It was pretty busy when we got to the restaurant. I ordered their biscuit and gravy. My friend got one of their burrito and a sweet treat. The food turn out good. I was satisfied with it and will be back here next time if I'm around town again. :) read more

A sweet storefront in a shopping center that houses the local hardware store, a grocery market and a used bookshop. Borrowed Kitchen not only offers delicious fresh baked breads and cookies and a full coffee bar, but they have an entire section of take home meals and meal ingredients, including a wide array of house made soups to take home, heat and serve. Check out their board of daily meal kits for those days when you JUST DON'T WANT TO COOK. Brilliant. They've recently expanded in partnership with Liberty Bay Books, in nearby Poulsbo, to offer food themed books, cookbooks and other fun non-edible stuff. There are very few places to sit, but that isn't a big deal because the harbor is only a short walk away for a baked good with a view. read more

We were on our way to a morning hike and drove a bit out of our way to try the Borrowed Kitchen Bakery. We were so excited to try this place. Unfortunately, it was Sunday and they were closed. According to their website they should be open. It would be nice if they would update their website. In our opinion this place didn't start on a high note for us. read more

Nice staff, fresh bread and bakery items. Chocolate cake is amazing as is the cherry Danish. Good prices. Will go again.

This pace is incredible every time!!!!! It doesn't get better than this!!! The ham and cheese croissant is the best!!! The employees this morning were so wonderful and kind too!! read more

I'm thrilled to have BKB in my neighborhood. Their fresh sourdough is so good and I've always said they make the best Ham and Cheese Croissant in the world however I wasn't completely confident with that statement until now. I have just returned from France and now make that claim with complete certainty. Eat here! You will love it! read more

I am so glad this store is here. I can't say enough about the yummy food. From the baked goods, to the premade food, sandwiches, soup and holiday pies, everything here is so delicious. We have yet to eat something that wasn't. Just like any good bakery, you need to get there early to get all the fresh baked goodies. The cashier usually makes the coffee so if you can't handle waiting for a few, go to Starbucks. They may be limited on staff but they are bountiful in quality. I actually like their baked good better than Sluy's in Poulsbo. And BOOKS! They have a lovely array of books including cooking, gardening, tide pooling, indigenous culture and more. We absolutely love this place! read more

A truly lovely local bakery with fantastic breakfast sandwiches, pastries, biscuits, and bread. Very friendly staff always willing to accommodate, and decent coffee to boot. This is our fav place to stop before or after the Ferry as we're coming to or leaving Olympic peninsula. Especially great before a long hike. Highly recommend. read more

Possibly the best I've ever had. Had a plain latte and an Apple fritter. Wife had a chocolate croissant and a latte. Incredibly delicious. We also took home a couple of their pre-packaged entrees. The chicken Alfredo was so good. Spaghetti was good too. If I lived in Kingston we'd be a regular here for sure. Highly recommended. read more

Had another baked Apple fritter today. Each batch goes fast as it comes out of the oven. Delicious Tried maple bacon scone today. Wonderful Peanut butter chocolate chip and white chocolate butterscotch cookies were both large and tasty. read more

We stopped in for chocolate cake per my sisters recommendation. Apparently her mother in law comes here every day on her visits to get a slice of their chocolate cake. I can understand why. It is nothing short of amazing deliciousness. I am not usually such a fan of chocolate cake, but man. This was a little slice of heaven. The slice is generous and enough to share, if you're feeling extra friendly. We also tried their Italian Cream soda which my son gave 2 thumbs up. I recommend stopping in for a slice. You won't regret it! read more

Sorry folks, but when you go into a restaurant at 12:30 PM, on a Friday, it should be busy. Should have known to walk out when all tables were empty. The menu had about 7 or eight sandwiches on it. However they were "out" of 50% of them. Ordered Turkey Melt. My side choices were potato chips or homemade potato salad. Ordered the salad. When brought to us, told us they were out of the salad... but I could choose a bag of chips... ok. Not a great start. Sandwich was dry and flavorless. Bit into it and damn near broke a tooth! The crust on the bottom of the sandwich was completely black. Burnt to a crisp. Oh, had a latte as well.... The worst one I've ever had. No joke. The place was filthy. The shared bathroom was worse and no paper towels. This place will not make it. read more

Love love love. Locally owned sweet or not delicious baked daily goodies. There is always something fresh and yummy to choose from!!!!!

The Borrowed Kitchen Bakery in my neighborhood has come a very long way since their early days a few years ago. I went there today with a friend and I was more than pleasantly surprised at the extensive breakfast menu. I was also very pleased with how the food was presented and tasted. The quality was surprisingly very high. My friend got pancakes, bacon, and eggs. I ended up with the huevos rancheros. Honestly, my only complaint was there was not enough salsa or tortillas for the amount of food I got. I actually had to ask for more salsa. What a gem of a place. I highly recommend that you stop by and have a full breakfast. Yes, they have plenty of breakfast sweets like cinnamon rolls and other things but the actual meals are hearty and tasty. read more
