So cute I almost forgot I walked in off the streets of New York! I'm even tempted to use the word 'rustic.'
As anyone who follows my reviews knows, I have a weakness for sweets and a weakness for breakfasts. Kitchenette won me over on both counts! The bar area has a 1950's soda shop style going on - and the menu has (omg) about 50 flavors of milkshakes. For brunch, I splurged on the "lumberjack" -- got my egg white fix AND two out-of-this-world gingerbread pancakes with pumpkin butter. So good! Kitchenette fills its counters with homemade desserts - pies, cookies, you name eat - all of which looked good enough to, well, eat.
Warning: saw the Seamless sticker on the door as I bid adieu to Kitchenette. Does that mean I don't even have to leave my apartment to get milkshakes and pies? Helllllooooo, obesity. Om nom nom. -

Decent place
This is a solid diner but nothing special. The fruit pancakes were good. Other dishes not very memorable. The only reason we come here once in a whiile is lack of good casual dining options in tribeca in thia price range, you could do worse with a lot of other places.
Atmosphere somewhat charming but a liitle crowded, not bad. -

If only you can eat the decor, I would give Kitchenette 5 stars.
I come here fairly often because it's close to my apartment (durr waking up at 3pm on a Saturday with nothing in the fridge durr) and whenever you think "Lets go to Kitchenette!" my brain thinks of this fuzzy comfy cute brunch place.
The reality of it is, the food is good, but is not worth the price at ALL! The most recent time, I paid 16 dollars for Lumberjack plate.. includes 2 blackberry cherry pancakes, 2 eggs and 4 pieces of bacon. You can get a better brunch at lower price easily elsewhere in the city!
Everything on their menus is light and girly, it's definitely a chick's resto. I love their strawberry butter, but it tast like light butter or margarine..
Also space is tight in there! More often or not, we are seating at a 4 person table with 2 strangers... they try to separate the tables but you are basically rubbing elbows with them on one side, and waiter's butts on the other side. Last time I listened to the gay guy beside me loudly dish all his latest adventure with his hag. It was entertaining to say the least but hard to carry my own conversation... and he would flinch each time my elbow brushed up against his.
I mean COM'ON dude... -

I've ordered dinner here a few times, but the real highlight is brunch. This place has a cute diner feel. I came with a friend and we were seated immediately. I personally think this place is a lot more reasonably priced than some of the other brunch places in the area.

I live right around here and have been a bunch of times for breakfast and brunch. I think its a solid choice. Its a great choice for comfort food in the city with Southern elements. Their gingerbread pancakes with pumpkin butter are delicious as are pretty much all their baked goods. The cakes also are fantastic and remind you of the cakes you would have at your birthday parties when you were little--whimsical and delicious. I've also had the omelettes as well as the sandwiches and they are all very good. Plus the setting is just adorable--its very Anthropologie inside, with lots of antiquey farmhouse elements.

Kitchenette, is a cutesy little restaurant. Something that I would picture I would see in the south or an antique store of some sort. Came here for their brunch and we were seated almost immediately. After having scarfed down 3 pastries from Financiere, I really needed something with density to satiate my appetite. Thank god , for Kitchenette knew exactly what I was craving. My eyes immediately went over to the "Protein Plate". Without looking at much of anything else, I ordered and they delivered that protein goodness.
It came with two homemade turkey sausages, four slices of bacon, and scrambled eggs cooked with cheese and spinach. I've never had turkey sausage because why would I want that when I could have REAL sausage. I will say, I was right. The turkey sausage had absolutely no fat in it and it was so healthy for you, it was bad. Flavors of the sausage were spot on, but lacking the moisture content given by the fat, I thought it was a pass since it was dry as could be. They could fix this by adding some pork fat :). Everything else on the plate was pretty standard so no complaints there. For $13.50 I left feeling nicely satisfied with my need for meat fulfilled by kitchenette. Kinda pricey but I guess it comes with the neighborhood. -

DO:
Breakfast, can't go wrong with anything on the menu
Expect rude and slow service
DON'T:
Buy any of the pastries, they look good, they taste awful
Have dinner here, it's overcooked and devoid of taste
Order delivery, takes a very long time and is almost always cold when received
Cute neighborhood spot with a fantastic breakfast! Tried it a few times for dinner though and not good at all, have gotten delivery and also, not good. It has a niche, breakfast, and should stay with just that.... -

Eh... $14 for tasty honey drizzled fried chicken with soggyish skin and mushy four cheese - mac n cheese. 15 min wait during lunch time which i believe induced the counter person to give a 10% discount to us.
Decent food. Decent service. Not worth the price. -

This is my favorite lunch spot, and not just because it's near my office. The food is great, the place is super cute, and everyone I ever take (usually for work-related things) is totally charmed. The omelette is especially awesome. Get it with the cheese grits.

Sangria for breakfast? COUNT ME IN!
We tried the strawberry sangria I believe, tasted like juice...which is a deadly...when you're having your first meal of the day, your food hasn't come out yet, and you're still drunk from the night before...didn't affect me, but my friend turned BRIGHT red! :P
Why it didn't get 1 star:
1. Creme Brulee French Toast is FREAKING amazing!!!!
2. Strawberry Sangria
3. The restaurant is really cute and really well decorated, perfect place to have a baby shower or something like that...but that's if you rent the whole place out, because this place is TINY!
Why I didn't give it 5 stars:
1. My grits tasted EXTREMELY burnt! Like BURNT BURNT...they might have had to throw the pan they were cooking my grits with AWAY!
2. Service is a little lacking
All in all, it was a cute place to visit. Probably won't be coming back...maybe for the sangria and the french toast...but everything else was either lacking or just not doing it for me...Listed in: TRAVELIN'

We really enjoyed the breakfast at this cute comfy cafe. Service could have been much better but we didn't have to wait long for anything. I had an omelette and although they forgot a few ingredients the fresh mozerrela made up for it. No shredded cheese in my omelette... actually fresh balls of mozerella! It was yummy. My mom had the Protein Plate and the turkey sausage was the best we ever had. They must have made it in house since it was not in hard casing or anything. Super garlic flavor and ample portions. We wish we could find this sausage in Texas. The biscuits were homemade and tasty. I would say the cheese grits were lacking. Everything thing else was wonderful.
They also give you 10% off if you pay in cash so that was a plus! -

I honestly expected SO MUCH MORE. Ordered twice. What an awful disappointment!
Eggs-over-easy: smooshed into the corner of the delivery container as if the delivery guy was shaking it all the way until he reached our door. the egg yolks were leaked out allover the RAW potatoes. Sausage (for which they charge $3 extra was NOT THERE. Bacon? -

Best brunch ever! Stumbled across this diamond in the rough...literally. There's a bit of construction going on, but don't let that deter you...they're open for business and are cooking up the best breakfast around.
We're not from New York City, but we're willing to make the trek back from Long Island (hour+ train and subway ride) to come back. My husbands pancakes, "The Lumberjack", were hands-down the yummiest...I had the Goat Cheese and Spinach Omlet with Biscuit, which was out-of-this-world!
Besides amazing food, the super-friendly staff and reasonable prices make this an even better experience. -

I can only judge the lunch which was over priced and overcooked. Very cute decor although its super tight seating and gets very crowded. I've also had delivery from here and the packaging is awful, everything basically gets tossed together in a cardboard box.

I want to give this place more stars but It's just not as good as it used to be. Which is funny because it's now in a bigger location and at one point their kitchen was tiny and had a hot plate. But somewhere along the way, the quality control languished. It's not bad, just used to be so much better. I think you probably still can't go wrong with their deserts and breakfasts; but lunch and dinner can be hit or miss. Kitchenette owners, I hope you're reading this! I used to recommend your place to EVERYONE, now I don't even like to go there and I never send anyone to you for fear it's gotten even worse! Please fix my favorite comfort spot!

Review from Pauline M.

I rully rully rully want to give Kitchenette 4 stars..let's just pretend there is a 3.5 so I feel better. I have ordered delivery from Kitchenette a kajillion times. It always broke my heart because they have the BEST salad EVER. Its a cajun chicken cobb salad with bacon buttermilk dressing. It's beyond...but, unfortunately, it's also $17. Since all I knew about Kitchenette before my visit was that they have a $17 salad I had pictured a sleek trendy candle lit restaurant with garcons a plenty and $15 martinis. Well well well...I was completely wrong and, trust me, it pains me to be wrong.
We head here from brunch because I have overdone petite abielle and wanted another spot in Tribecca. We stroll up to a huge line outside. God d I hate waiting. We walk in and BAM my sleek pricey restaurant vanishes and is replaced by this uber cute bake shop with sprinkles a plenty and pink polka dot walls. Wah? Somehow we are seated right away. This place is so cute I can hardly stand it!!! The tables are made of old doors painted with varying colors of pastels and polka dots. The kitchen is semi open air with glass shutters and the walls are lined with sun flowers. I grew up in a rural area and this place just looks like every cute mom & pop brunch spot but in the middle of Manhattan. It's adorable...you just want to squeeze it!! Of course my orange juice came in a mason jar to complete my new found love (I lurv mason jars!!!) I got the blue cheese & herb omelet with a biscuit and cheesey grits(!). So this is when my 4 stars starts diminishing. The omelet was quite tasty but the biscuit was so dense. Where was the fluffiness? The flakiness? The buttery goodness?! The cheesy grits were so salty I couldn't even eat them. It was a sad sad moment. My friend got the lumberjack: two gingerbread pancakes with pumpkin butter, an omelet, and bacon strips. All of this was phenomenal and I would come back JUST for those pancakes. It was like fall wrapped up in a perfect pancake. Yumm!!
All in all, I have quite the crush on Kitchenette even though I still don't get why my salad is $17!! -

My man has been wanting to take me her for quite a while, raving about their yummy pancakes and frozen hot chocolate and cute, cheery vibe. He knew I'd be a fan of all the sweet, homey touches, and pastel pinks and seafoam greens. And, indeed I was!
Unfortunately, the frozen hot chocolate he loved was no longer on the menu, but I quickly found solace in a big mason jar of strawberry lemonade. This was the real deal, thick and pulpy with strawberry seeds and a natural sweetness that's hard to fake. His huge mug of cafe au lait made everything all better again for him, too.
He went with the Lumberjack with blueberry pancakes (only $1 extra for fruited pancakes!) and I had to had to HAD to have the Woodstock. Banana chocolate chip pancakes topped with granola and served with strawberry butter (!) and maple syrup. YUM. So much yum packed onto that plate. I also had a side of bacon, because, well...what's breakfast without it? It was cooked perfectly.
Service was a little haywire, but well-meaning and not enought to detract from the whole meal for me. I'll be back! The biscuits look delightful. :) -

The food and service were great. We ate here for dinner. Fish tacos were to die for. Homemade pumpkin bear was awesome. The desert milk shake - peanut butter chocolate - to die for. Excited to try breakfast here some time!! It's a bit small inside or I'd probably give it 5 stars.

By far, the most disgusting food I've ever ordered off of seamless web. And that's not a term I use lightly and not one I usually use to refer to food.
The chickpea burger arrived basically uncooked - just mush slopped onto a thin, mushy, wet pita. The entire thing fell apart and was unable to be eaten as a burger, which might have been okay (barring the taste) if utensils had been provided. None of the tzatziki sauce as advertised. The lettuce was wilted and disgusting.What pita wasn't soggy and disintegrating was clearly rock hard. I threw the whole thing out. It was just inedible. Even the pickles accompanying the "burger" were soggy and bad. The fries were a mushy mess too - and no ketchup or condiments. But at that point, really, who cares about the fries? -

Not a bad place. I enjoyed the decor and atmosphere. Food was good. Had the Mac & Cheese BLT which was fattening and delicious. Fries were decent. I also tried their chicken soup which was okay at best. I mostly enjoyed it because it was warm and I was cold. Had a bite of the Turkey Rueben which wasn't as good as my sandwich, but still decent. Service was subpar. A little pricey. Might go back if I was in the area, but it's not at the top of my list.

The worst "biscuit" I've ever had in my life. I should have just gone across the street to the deli, picked up that Pillsbury & popped it in my oven and saved myself the grief...
Terrible terrible food!
I'm so upset with myself for having ordered from here thinking they'd have collard greens (which was on their menu, but didn't have ready when I called - I felt bad about already having put in the rest of the order so just went with it, hoping for the best).
Never again. -

If you desire some girlie cupcake time Kitchenette is the perfect place to get your fix in Tribeca.
The dining room is very relaxed and has a warm relaxed feel. The staff are friendly and attentive. Nothing seemed to be an issue.
I sat at the counter with two lovely cakes tempting me .....

Instead I ordered the Turkey BLT, it comes with a side(several to choose from) it was packed with Bacon and Turkey. The lettuce did appear to be wilted slightly but it was forgivable.
Would love to spend an afternoon there with friend working through the menu. -

Came here for brunch on Sunday. Waited under five minutes when I arrived at around 10:30 a.m. The space is a little tight, but cozy. Most of the stuff in the restaurant are made from recycled materials. Like the tables are made from old doors and the cups are jars. It's kinda cool.
For brunch, I would definitely recommend the Breakfast Burrito--it has a nice spicy taste from the peppers. Breakfast potatoes were good, but nothing out of the ordinary. My father had the Spinach, Tomato and Brie Omelet and, although I did not try it, it received solid remarks. Service is very very friendly and always around.
If you haven't tried this place, you should give it a shot. -

Small, cute little cafe with much potential. I'm sure the baked goods are great but we had brunch. We waited about 10 mins for a table and ordered a peach bellini and grapefruit mimosa which were pretty good.
I got the albuquerque and hubby got an omelette. I ordered refried beans as a side with my meal and they were for sure Rosarita's out of the can :( Mine was pretty tasty but could have used more salsa. Hubbys omelette was very bland and the butter for the biscuit that came with his was bland too. Too bad bc it looked so strawberrish.
Portions were small and we were unsatisfied when we left. Waitress was MIA. -

Meh, I've had better pancakes. I came here one day for brunch, and I went with the Gingerbread Pancakes, which sounded pretty awesome. What I got wasn't necessarily bad, but really, there was nothing terribly memorable about the pancakes other than the fact that they had a decent amount of spice flavor to them (good) and that they were a bit drier than I would have liked (bad). The pancakes came with a small ramekin of maple syrup, which helped cover up some of the dryness. For $11, I expected a larger order of pancakes, as the three pancakes that I got really weren't all that filling. The coffee was okay. However, the service was kind of lacking, as we had to flag down the waitress both to place our orders and to get the check. For such a small dining room, I can't see why service could be so inattentive.
Bottom line: the pancakes are okay, but nothing to go out of your way for. I've definitely had better pancakes and service, so I'd suggest trying elsewhere. -

This is a cute little place, but not terribly memorable and I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. I was walking home after work and passed by, so decided to go in for a quick lunch. It's very pricey for what you get all around - service, ambiance, food.
I had the BLT with french fries. The sandwich was good but the fries were just meh. Nothing else on the menu really stood out to me - either uninteresting or way too expensive. -

Ambiance here is super adorable but no poached eggs?!?! This is brunch! You need to offer poached eggs. The waiters are rushed and not very warm and friendly. I had the Belgian waffles and they were very average (you'd have better luck at Go for a Bite on west 4th). Coffee was average too. Everything was very average... which sucked because I was expecting something kinda awesome.
Seating is very tight, which ordinarily would be okay, but my friend and I were seated next to this uptight lady and her daughter who kept giving us dirty looks during our convo. Finally, I had to say out loud, "GEE, I wish these people next to us would stop looking at us." That sorta helped, but dudes, for realz? I don't need all that judgement during brunch.
Kitchenette, you're cute, but hire a new chef and some nicer waiters, space out the seating, and then, I'll probs return. -

I have eaten her twice and the first time it wasn't bad..nothing too special but no complaints. However, the last time I ate here (probably about a month ago) I ordered an omelette. Other than the fact that they pack everything onto a small plate so that your eggs get in your salad and vice versa, I had egg shells in my omelette. I will definitely not be going back here.

Hungry and bundled up from February weather, I hobbled in here randomly for brunch to get away from winter weather.
Originally I thought the recycled decor (old colorful doors are used as tables) was adorable but then realized that the old jars we were drinking from still had lipstick marks and suddenly old recyclables weren't so cute. My coffee mug should have been chucked MONTHS ago because the mug was not only badly stained but chipped at the top.
My guest had the creme brulee french toast and was unimpressed. It's just a fancy name for bread pudding. It also was the size of a music cd for the fabulous price of $11+.
I had a breakfast burrito with pablano peppers, cheese and eggs in a wrap. There was the option of a side of potatoes, cheese grits or re-fried beans. I went with cheese grits. For another $11 dollars I was again, unimpressed. The wrap was average tasting, no real complaints there but it was a small serving for a large price.
While the brunch didn't go over well and I won't be back, I think Kitchenette may be better with their baked goods. From a window glance, their cookies and cupcakes look delish. -

My friends were in town from Barcelona and one of them was obsessed with pancakes.
I read a few reviews of Kitchenette and this place was recommended for great pancakes.
Although, it's a bit of a ways downtown, my friends were grateful I took them there.
There's construction currently on the street so the view was obstructed but once we came in, we were greeted by the warm staff.
The place is cozy and one of my friends noticed the design of the tabletop was used from an old, kitchen door. We poured over the menu and I immediately ordered a hot chocolate served in a large, pink mug and saucer. The hot chocolate wasn't overly sweet and they didn't smother it in whip cream.
After 10 minutes, my friends ordered the Lumberjack which consisted of two pancakes, eggs (your way) , and an option bacon. Since they eat with their eyes, they ordered a side of cornbread as well. My friend mentioned she may end up ordering the gingerbread pancakes with pumpkin butter as well and asked her, "You have room after that big meal?" She said, "Maybe." with a smile on her face.
My other friend scanned the bakery at the front and said she might get some cupcakes later or strawberry cheesecake.
I chose the turkey sausage omelet with potatoes, cheese grits, and a biscuit. I also sheepishly asked for a side of bacon which amused the waiter.
When the plates arrived, my friends were astonished at the serving size and I laughed, "I hope you'll have room for your gingerbread pancakes and dessert later."
We hungrily dug into our dishes. The pancakes, sprinkled with powdered sugar, were drizzled with maple syrup. The biscuits were lightly spread with strawberry, whipped butter, and the turkey sausage was savory which was great since I didn't need to season my omelet..
The cheese grits were interesting since it wasn't smothered in cheese as I imagined but lightly mixed in so it gave that hint.
We barely finished our plates and then one of my friends pointed at me and they both laughed since I was holding my head with both hands like I had a hangover. I teased back that they had that glazed look on their face and were ready for a nap.
They agreed that a one hour nap would help but we still had a full day ahead of sightseeing so we ordered cups of coffee and tea. Unfortunately, the cup of coffee was unremarkable but it was enough to perk us up a bit for the rest of the day. -

Mebbe...3.5 stars. Adorable concept, it's decorated like a little kid's restaurant, whites and pinks etc. The desserts are temptingly displayed when you enter and invite walk-ins to grab cupcake and go on their way to the Hudson piers.
Ok, I did enjoy my visit, it's near work and I felt comfortable in there. Food was heavy to me, very...starchy? I mean good, just...starchy. Taste was minimal, and I felt a bit bloated when I left. Hmm... -

Cute place. Its kinda small and definitely overrated. We just happened to walk into the place and there were 4 of us. The wait was shorter than expected ( about 10 min) and we got coffee while we were waiting..coffee was not bad. Anyhow, so i ordered the spinach and brie omelet, my colleagues got the pancakes, and garden veg omelet. Ive had better eggs @ dennys... but they werent bad. They came wth breakfast potatoes which were really good. I wanted a bowl of fresh fruits, so while ordering i asked which fruits would come with the bowl and he said - apples, bananas and strawberries. The bowl actually came with banana and pears and i really hate pears. Overall, the portions were just right because we kinda filled ourselves with coffee before, but if we entered starving, im not sure it woulda sufficed. We didnt stay for dessert.
Our server SUCKED. But i don't want to generalize the service based on that because we noticed that the other tables were being waited on just perfectly. We asked for water, and 20 minutes later he came to check up on the table beside ours, i had to ask for water again. He forgot the ketchup i asked for and i had to ask another waiter to bring some for us which he did in a jiffy.
So, overall, i think i would return to try the french toast and i would request another table :) -

This brunch place is really, really fun. The pink and black decor makes it girly - but not too girly - and the rush of the staff and crowd gives it a true New Yorker, greasy spoon feel. The catch is that it's not actually "greasy," so that's super awesome.
So many sweet and savory items to choose from. (The sweet items were particularly innovative.) I opted for the spinach, tomato, and brie omelette, which could have had a little more brie, but it was definitely satiating. Our coffee was always full. The side of grits was also nice and cheesy and not too heavy.
We were seated immediately at 11am on a Saturday. Wohoo!Listed in: Operation: Best NYC Brunch

Adorable spot for brunch! So cute inside (but guys be forewarned the decor is quite girly). It reminded me of a retro kitchen in the country-side or an old-fashioned 50s diner.
Me and my roomie sat at the counter to avoid a wait, and it was fine. If you're in a group of 2 definitely go for the counter! The seats have backs and there's a place to rest your feet so it's all good =). At the counter you also get a great view of all the delectable looking desserts...I'll have to go back and try those next time...
I ordered the turkey sausage omelet with a biscuit and cheesy grits. The sausage was great, very tasty. My grits could've been better, they were kind of congealed and I was hoping they would have more of a cheesy flavor, as they were just kind of milky. Next time I might go for the side of potatoes instead. The biscuit comes with a little container of strawberry butter and the two are so good together! mmmm...you definitely must try the biscuits if you come here.
Great place for brunch in the neighborhood, but you might want to try to come early to avoid a wait. The turnover is pretty quick though, so even if you have to wait it won't be as bad as you think! -

I have had 2 brunches here and one dinner since my original visit. This place is a scene on the weekends-your best bet is to be a party of two-if you have more than that you are going to be waiting for awhile. You will also be very cozy and close with the people next to you. Kitchenette has very homey, comfort food. I have really liked the brunch stuff-a good place to take a divide and conquer plan of attack. I came here for dinner by myself after a very long day and it was very quiet-they appear to have a very brisk business in delivery.
