On our drive to Camarillo for some outlet shopping, we decided to find a breakfast spot. My wife googled "breakfast near me" and found Main Kitchen Cafe. A quick reroute from the 118 freeway and we were in Granada Hills. We found the restaurant and had no trouble finding a parking space. The restaurant is definitely a diamond in the rough. The local businesses are of various nature so this great little cafe stands out. The decor provides a warm and inviting environment. We were greeted warmly by a waitress, Noemy, who eventually seated us and took our order. Coffee and hot chocolate were delivered soon after and our meals came quickly as well. My wife's Lemon Ricotta Blueberry pancakes were delicious. My Chicken Fried Steak with eggs, biscuit and gravy and potatoes was excellent. The potatoes were a highlight of the dish. Very yummy!!! Oh, and Noemy was attentive and friendly and provided excellent care for our first visit to this popular neighborhood cafe. Though the restaurant is about 20 miles from our home, we definitely will be back when we are headed to points west from our home.
First time trying this local Granada Hills restaurant. Gathering with neighbors for a gab sesh over breakfast on Boxing Day. Despite the rain, the restaurant was warm and cozy and we arrived just before 9am, ahead of the weary crowds of post holiday diners. We were seated right away and drink orders delivered promptly. Questions about food substitutes was handled efficiently and friendly, with some additional suggestions which is appreciated. Food arrived within 15 mins of order so the kitchen was in top form. Everything looked delicious and, between bits of gossip, the reviews were positive. We stayed well after the plates had cleared. I don't believe we were keeping customers from the table, but we also weren't rushed by the staff. While we were a group of 4, I think this lovely spot would be best for intimate settings of 2. I would definitely recommend MKC as a meeting spot. While I opted for a basic parfait, after too much holiday indulging it was a light, refreshing break. Strawberries and blueberries were fresh, but the peaches canned. Tasty, but all fresh and seasonal if necessary would be the only recommendation I could offer. Everyone seemed pleased with their choices and I will def return - maybe even contributing some coffee mugs cluttering my own cabinets. Cheers! "CC"
Gem hidden in plain sight. I've been living near this fine establishment and barely discovered. I must've been living under rock but glad I'm in the "know". Main Kitchen Cafe is a wonderful place for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. Huge menu, awesome drinks, and great service. The small business neighborhood feel gives it a warm charm. Food is excellent. I went with a group and was able to try out different things. I've never had fried catfish for breakfast. But I'm sure glad I did. Come on in and enjoy a nice warm dine-in experience. Parking is easy. Enjoy.
Was in the mood for a breakfast burrito and passing by so I decided to stop in. I must've arrived between breakfast and lunch and was sad immediately. The staff was all very friendly. Decided to go with the sunshine Ranch, breakfast burrito and it was great. Ingredients were clean tasting, and after eating a large burrito still felt great and not bogged down like some burritos can make you feel. Coffee is actually really good. Since it wasn't that busy, it was very calm and relatively quiet inside.
5/5 I give this place. I gotta hand it to the kitchen staff for making our food good. It was cooked and seasoned well. The steak and eggs were fantastic! Pancake with berries, strawberries and bananas was also fantastic! I'm impressed. The staff were very helpful and paid attention to the customers and kept the place clean inside. Parking can be a challenge on a week day since it is shared with other vendors around and it they don't have a lot of space for many. Overall, it was a good experience eating here. Keep it up!
Greeted by hostess quickly and kindly. We sat in a clean and inviting dining room. Not too fancy. Lots of wall decor and some music playing in background. We got our food quickly and enjoyed the meal and coffee. It was brought out quickly and the ingredients were great. I recommend this spot for breakfast. I would be careful where you park. I almost got hit when getting in and out of the parking spot along chatsworth. Park in the lot next door if possible. I would return in a heartbeat.
What a difference from the last time we went! Lox benedict was so tasty and the Hollandaise wasn't lemony at all! The huevos rancheros (plus avocado) were also delicious. Even the kiddo had a good time with the omelet. And the service - 10 stars! So friendly and accommodating! I've never been so happy to see a Paw Patrol sticker in my life! LOL
Don't try the chilaquiles. They were the worse I have ever tried in my life. The first bad sign was that it came with both red and green salsa. I'm Mexican-American and know that that's a no no, but I tried it because the waitress said it was good. It was soupy and came with whole beans. The only good thing about it was the good cooked egg. Sour cream!!!. No! It was pretty insulting to our culture. Glad my mother wasn't with us. Indoor seating is limited. I don't mind waiting or being in crowded spaces if the food is good, not the case. The traditional breakfast was pretty good though. Comes with eggs, bacon, and hash browns. The server was pretty rude at first. I didn't really care because if the food is good, I would overlook a bad server. She gave sarcastic remarks and didn't come often enough to refill waters and coffee. Will not return. Food was a bit pricey. A lot of non-Latinos were eating there. I should have known. The outdoor seating was nice, but this intersection is not. Very noisy and kept looking around when crazy drivers flew by.
In an area where you wouldn't necessarily expect a great brunch place to be, there's a great brunch place. I visited Main Kitchen Cafe with my son one Sunday morning and we had surprisingly good foot, tasty and beautifully presented. The place was busy but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The menu has good options for vegetarians in both the sweet and savory categories. We both got versions of the Chilaquiles. My simpler-palated son got his with scrambled eggs and no sour cream. I asked for "chef's choice" and they brought mine with eggs over easy. It was truly delicious and beautiful looking in the bowl they served it with. The coffee was good enough. They've even got Beyond Sausage as a side option so, again as a vegetarian, I felt well taken care of here. The food is nice and upscale and we'll definitely come back to try more!
I came to have breakfast with Mom . we ended up getting their breakfast burrito ( Chile verde) and we shared a plate of fruit with some toast. Service was great. The spot was clean. We did get seated towards the back and they did let us know that there was gonna be like some type of wind draft And so it might get cold but other than that, we had a good time orange juice was freshly squeeze so that was yummy. Parking can get a little bit complicated because it's off of Main Street but if you're lucky, you'll get parking right away and if not, you'll have to wait but not too bad.
My daughter and I are regulars here and we absolutely love the food ! The atmosphere is so calming and they always play nice music which makes our mornings. The servers, especially Mya, is filled with hospitality and is just the sweetest, always checking up on us. We have been here so often that the chef remembers our orders which we value so much
Let me clarify that this review is regarding their TO GO/PICK UP service. Eating at the Granada Hills location is great. Friendly staff and great food. HOWEVER the rating drops DRAMATICALLY when you order for pickup or delivery. Consistently forgetting items and the food quality is significantly worse when you take it to go. This latest example... I order their Chicken Fried Steak that comes with potatoes, a biscuit and country gravy. Order is picked up and THERE IS NO COUNTRY GRAVY. How is that a miss? Not to mention that I have to remind them that there is a drink that came with the order or that would have been missed as well. Long story short, it is worth it during the week when it's not crowded and the food is MUCH better when you dine in. Avoid to go orders at all costs.
I had the pleasure of having breakfast here today!! The cucumber water, the banana nut pancakes, the house potatoes, the service yummy. So Main Kitchen Cafe just opened up 5 weeks ago it's a small place but has some really good menu items. I was greeted by Monica and Courtland whom are the Owners of this establishment. I sat on the counter and had some nice conversation with other patrons and regulars, it was nice to sit in the front I got to see my food made right in front of me. Their ingredients are fresh and made to order. I was in the mood for something sweet so I decided to go with the short stack pancakes with banana nut and I added strawberries. The bananas, walnuts and strawberries went so well together, the pancakes were so light and just mouthwatering. The potatoes with the onions and peppers were so delicious. I loved the crunchy taste and it was seasoned just right, next time I will make sure to ask for extra onions and peppers because I just love onions and peppers. :) The parking situation is not bad thankfully I was able to find parking in the small parking and there was some in front, once again this place is small it's not a big restaurant so especially on weekends I expect it to be busy. They also offer to go too, service was great, Monica and Courtland the owners were extremely friendly to me and personable. They cook their pork for many hours as well as their chicken, I'm looking forward to trying their other menu items the lunch sounds delicious as well. The prices were reasonable and the cucumer water was so fresh and yummy to the palette. Overall, very nice cute setup, clean atmosphere and delicious food, what else could you ask for? read more
We decided to take a family weekend so came here for the first time on Sunday morning around 8:30 for breakfast. Following the gps was easy and when it said destination on the right I didn't see it, but parked in a lot next to buildings. We found the place which in the middle, not great signage but not hard to find from the parking lot. It was a cute little place that could have been a dozen other types of before it was this place, but cute. Furniture was eclectic as well as the place settings, but no art on the walls. The server was friendly and got us a table next to window which faces Chatsworth. My wife ordered the standard breakfast and I got to taste the bacon which was to die for. My son ordered the vanilla french toast and it came with some macadamia nuts and bourbon bacon as a garnish...again...yum. I got an omelette with maple ham and tomato in it which was big and came with a side of potatoes. When we finished my wife said this was better than the places closer to us and we agreed, definitely going to be a favorite and will return. I took off one star for the potatoes being too well done and a little on the dry side and needed some art and something in the windows. It looked like they just moved into the place and could have had a better feeling with just a few more things and a little better attention to the side dish. read more

Had a late breakfast here a few days ago and left unsatisfied. Among the three of us, we ordered the hemingway benedict, zelzah omelette, and chicken salad sandwich. The benedict wasn't anything memorable to taste, the omelette was very bland, and the sandwich was good but the bread was way too thick. The entire meal was mediocre and nothing stood out. They served house potatoes or tater tots as a side with each of our orders. It would have been nice if you could have opted for a sisde of fruit or salad instead. Service was nice. You have to ask for cucumber water if you want it. Parking on the street or a lot next door I think. read more
Good breakfast spot in GH. No frills, smaller place, plenty of parking in the rear of the building and good food. They have omelets, pancakes, eggs, etc. No specialized coffee or anything, just coffee. The service was good too. Prices are reasonable. I enjoyed my Zelzah omelet and the pancakes. Good stuff! read more
Omg the steak and eggs were on point, steak was seasoned well and the poached eggs were perfect not a lot of places can get the poached eggs right so that was a plus... the tiramisu French toast was out of this world so good I have never had anything like this .. definitely will be coming back to explore the menu... two cooks in the kitche hustle hard read more

I love a great breakfast spot. The wife and I decided to give this place a try and we had no regrets. The food choices were just as good with a variety that ranged from fresh pancakes made from scratch to hash and eggs. They also have great lunch choices as well. I decided on the hash and eggs that has slow roasted pork with poached eggs mixed with carrots and string beans. It also comes with pumpernickel bread that's provided by the great local bread place house of bread in chatsworth. The wife had their chorizo torta which is delicious. Service was great as Emily made sure our needs were met. Parking is in the back or on Chatsworth Blvd. read more

OMG, truthfully, the biscuits need some work but the tiramisu French toast alone is so amazing I still gotta give 5 stars. You need that in your life! Also, the staff was SO great! Polite, friendly, attentive (outside seating for social distance). This is a great place and oh yeah, the owner was as sweet as pie. And grab a cookie before you leave...will NOT let you down! read more

Went here for the first time with my mom because I had driven by several times. The food was delicious, the ambiance was clean and comfortable, and the customer service was great! We both enjoyed our food, but couldn't finish it since they serve generous portions. The collection of wall art was definitely a plus and the various mugs were a nice touch. Will definitely be visiting again! read more
I tried Main Kitchen Cafe for breakfast for the first time this week; I enjoyed it and would recommend it. A friend and I visited at 9 a.m. on a Friday morning. We got one of the few parking spaces left in the adjacent parking lot, but there were a few street parking spots left in front at that time as well. The restaurant occupies two street front spaces in its strip mall; each side is rather skinny, so I imagine the place can fill at peak times. At 9 a.m., my friend and I got one of the last tables available. FOOD I ordered their signature breakfast which comes with two eggs, choice of a protein, choice of potatoes or tomatoes, and choice of bread for $12.95, which is just a little on the pricier side in my opinion. I chose eggs over medium, carved turkey (an unusual option, but appreciated), whole grain toast and tater tots. Let's be honest -- whenever tater tots are offered, it's the right choice! The meal was prepared well and came with an orange wedge and side of jam. See photo. To drink I got a coffee -- served in an interesting mug. See photo. Looking around the restaurant, it looked like all of the mugs are different and range from kitschy to ornate. Kind of fun. My friend really enjoyed the eggs benedict as well. SERVICE Our server was friendly and attentive. Another server also stopped by to check on us and offer refills. NUTSHELL It's probably a buck or two more than other places for similar fare, but I enjoyed the food, service, and ambiance. Recommended. read more

Wow! This was a great decision. Walked in and got seated right away. The place felt very homey, gave me the feeling of being at home. Pancakes were amazing and they didn't hold back on the toppings which were blueberries. The side of tots were great. I ordered an orange juice, come to find out it was freshly squeezed and tasted fantastic. I'm definitely coming back next week and trying something new. Thanks Chris! read more

As I sit here and wait for my food I was reading some of the reviews and I must say some are stupid and some were on point. I'm sitting at the counter and yes you can see everything being made but hey at least I know they are making it with love. The music is dope. Okay just finished eating. That shit was fucking bomb. The chilaquilles were cool. Nothing special but they didn't disappoint. Wish I had more crema. But the teramusi pancakes were fucking banging. I'm here on a Sunday and I didn't have to wait. God bless America and this place read more

This place is the BOMB.com. The chef and one of the waitress' are the owner of this beautiful petite cafe. They serve breakfast all day and lunch until 3pm. The place is clean and I like the architect of this cute cafe. It's clean and inviting. It is small but the portions are huge, so it just makes up for it. It's my first time coming here although my friend lives in the neighborhood behind the restaurant. I ordered coffee with a side of milk for my creamer. My friend had a coke (can). She had the Highlander which is an egg omelette with veggies and tater tots while I had a Huevos Rodriguez. It came with black beans, chile salsa, sour cream, 2 eggs anyways you want, and roasted potatoes with a side of tortillas.. Delicious is all I can say. I would definitely come here again. read more

Came here over the weekend with my partner for a what we wanted a quick breakfast locally. I ordered a burrito and she ordered an omelette thinking it couldn't be more than 30 minutes to be done. Looked as if they only had one cook. And a packed house. Tables even full outside. The manager or owner was hustling and making sure everyone was happy even with the slow time. Rest of the workers were taking their sweet time. I feel as if they could have helped the manager more. Once I stated if we can take it to go (politely), we were assured the food was going to be ready very soon(amazing). My girlfriends omelette had no cheese and at this point we didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for another omelette. My burrito was really good tho. My suggestion, come here expecting to be here over an hour and with it not packed. This place could be amazing if they were a little faster, everyone around us was waiting and tapping their feet for their food and even waiting to just pay. If a place can't handle the traffic, remove the tables and have more of a wait, experience for the people eating would be better. It's great food. The experience wasn't. Would love to try this place again because the food again was great and the valley needs more places like this. read more

This continues to be my absolute favorite breakfast in the valley. We have been self isolated since March because my 3 year old daughter and I are considered high risk, not to mention we have a newborn. We are so happy to know that our favorite place is taking the proper covid precautions, so we feel safe ordering from here. We have ordered takeout 3 times, and they offer contactless curbside pickup and place it in the trunk of your car. Everything is carefully packed so the quality stays intact. Thank you Main Kitchen, for being a bright spot for our weekends during quarantine. read more

When Main kitchen Cafe opened up years ago, I tried it then and really enjoyed it. Last week I went back for the first time and enjoyed it even more! We went on a weekday, closer to closing time so there wasn't really a crowd (usually we see lines outside for people to get a table). The staff was very nice - polite and helpful. The had good music going and just happy vibes in general. I really like the feel of the spot - it almost feels like we are in Big Bear. The decor is fun and different, especially for the valley. They have mismatching mugs on the tables, which I thought was super cute! The only thing with that is that they have the cups upside down and it didn't seem like a great idea since we don't know how clean the tables are. We ordered the tiramisu French toast and it tasted more like a cinnamon roll. Either ways, yummy! We also ordered the eggs Benedict... the one that comes with the black forest ham... and wow, just WOW! I've had many Benedict's from many different places but for sure, this was one of the best. The hollandaise was more on the lemony side and it gave it such a delicious twist. Instead of the traditional bread, they used a brioche and it just made everything better. Highly recommend! read more

So, I saw a review saying it's pet friendly and then another negative review for service animals, I'm confused by the owners response and the person saying no. Are service dogs allowed indoors or not?
Hi Marcela, Yes. Service dogs/animals are always welcome. The customer review in question is… Read more
How large a parking lot is there?
There's ample parking for the total seating capacity of the restaurant. More if you add the curbside spaces in front.
Hi question, a few local moms and I have a reserved table for Saturday, I know you don't sever mimosas. But I wonder if we could bring our own bottle and pay a corking fee? It's their first time there and I'd love to make it an amazing experience

Hi!? About how big of a party can come to the café? Is there anyway to reserve seating before hand?
It's not a huge place biggest party I saw was 6 people but I could be wrong and I would call to ask about the reservation thing.
Do you guys still serve the French toast with bourbon bacon, bananas, and macadamia nuts?
That item is currently not available on our menu. Perhaps a different version of that will return in the future. Thanks for the inquiry. Hope that helped.
Is it pet friendly?
I was there 8/16/21 and a patio diner had her dog with them. It looked pet friendly.
