Good atmosphere. Across the street from the gigantic Whole Foods is a genius business idea. The food & watermelon/strawberry mojito were very good! They initially delivered all the food to the table but the waiter forgot the pancakes for my 6 yr old cousin, BUT it was immediately corrected & comped. The drinks are reasonably priced for the size but some of the food is overpriced. Toast & fingerling potatoes sausage ot toast can't be the standard add-on for everything, when you have other places that offer a short stack for the same exact price

Kingsbury Street Cafe was a pleasant surprise. It's a surprisingly big, nicely decorated restaurant. The staff was great and responsive. I managed to drop two pieces of silverware and don't think I went more than 15 seconds without a new one. Our waitress was really enthusiastic (maybe a bit over the top) and did a great job. I had the Kingsbury Street Breakfast. The eggs and bacon were really good. The cheese scone was excellent. The tomatoes and potatoes were good, but a bit bland for my taste. It didn't really feel like a single dish, but 5 little ones that were each pretty good. My wife had the lemon pancakes and they were delicious - a little tart and not too sweet. $4 valet parking in an area without much street parking is nice as well.

I was in the area looking for a different breakfast place but tripped over Kingsbury. I'm so pleased I did! The menu was unique and diverse. The prices were downright reasonable and the house blend coffee is outstanding. Service is thoughtful and attentive without hovering or intruding (this might be the first restaurant I've ever been to who's server didn't wait until I had a wad of food in my mouth to ask me how my meal was). One minor misstep was corrected quickly and I have no complaints. I had the yogurt with lemon zest and a self built omelette of fresh spinach, avocado, chicken and gruyere... All mouth watering.. And that bread! Drool city!

Was here with a larger group and we all enjoyed our meal. I had gotten the Chicken Pot Pie and was not disappointed. Great brunch place!

This place is great. Very open, welcoming vibe just across the street from Whole Foods. There's a valet parking lot they share with VIPs. So I suppose you could get a lap dance and brunch if you'd like. But otherwise, the food is rock solid and the servers are very friendly. We took our one year old son here and appreciated the fact that they had kid-friendly utensils and a kids menu as well. Highly recommend this place!
