Fan Kitchen Born in 2015 as the sister restaurant to their (now closed) upscale sister restaurant Artisan, in Paso Robles. While not upscale in location or décor, Kitchenette is decidedly upscale on their presentations and the way they seek to reinvent and perfect standard breakfast classics. They've also kept with Artisan's ethos of farm-to-table dining, ensuring only the freshest and most ethically-sourced foods are prepared. The Good: *Love the décor that is part country table and part NY diner vibes. *Staff were all terrific *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *My mocha was phenomenal and as good as from any coffee house I've had. Nice balance of cocoa to coffee and not too sweet. *Carissa's Corned Beef Hash was outstanding, and the perfectly fried egg on top really sealed the deal. *The Posole Verde was phenomenal on flavor, presentation, and the addition of the (perfectly executed) Scotch Eggs was mind-blowing in both its uniqueness and flavor profile. This might be the perfect breakfast dish, as it was hearty and filling but light enough not to make one feel bloated. *Local brews on-tap *Prices are very reasonable for the quality and taste. I could see places in the Bay Area charging 1.5-2× as much for this quality of dishes. The Meh: *Templeton isn't the first place that crosses ones mind when visiting SLO County, but for food this good, it's worth seeking out. The Ugly: *Parking lot is a touch small and could fill up fast. Yeah, there's street parking available, but I'm trying to stretch to fill my format. You understand, right, Gov'nor? Conclusion: Fantastic spot for an elevated but not hoity breakfast in an underrated location. Highly recommended. read more
