The Big Kitchen is a place where the body is nourished along with the soul. The interaction that takes place at the counter and booths has brought about an incredible community. As a community we have shared many profound human experiences; an excellent sense of humor, art, music, theater, and friendship have all contributed to this creation.
Oh yes, our food is excellent too. All of our vegetables are fresh. We bake our own muffins and coffee cake. We honey bake our own hams and fresh roast our own turkey breasts. The food is real and that is why it tastes so good. Our staff cares about its freshness, as well as the way it looks and tastes. Our prices reflect the quality, care and time involved in presenting to you the "best breakfast in town" (SignOnSanDiego) in a "quintessential community cafe" (San Diego Magazine) in a "radically chic atmosphere" (Tuned In).
Being in a small world, we're known for having "One of The 10 Best Breakfasts in the Country" (Bon Appetit), being the epitome of "True Cool" (Zagat Survey) and we can be seen on The Food Network. Thank you Rachel Ray!
We also have become famous for our "Kulture in the Kitchen," most recently featuring The Marcia Forman Band and Rudy Serrano's Art, Big Kitchen Counter Culture Musical, and KPBS Big Kitchen Documentary.
There are RULES, however:
Every Saturday and Sunday we have live music jammin' out in front of the Big Kitchen!
Come enjoy our outdoor seating with some coffee, eats, and local tunes!
