Kendall’s Kitchen
Best Breakfast, Lunch Cafe, and Coffee Shop in Pacific Beach, CA
Welcome to Kendall’s Kitchen
When I opened Kendall's Kitchen, I had a vision that went beyond just baking. I wanted to create a place where the most delicious pastries from around the world could come together under one roof, where every bite tells a story of tradition and craftsmanship.
Our signature strawberry rhubarb kolache is my personal pride. Using techniques I learned while studying pastries in the Czech Republic, we've perfected this delicate balance of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb nestled in our house-made dough. Watching customers experience it for the first time brings me genuine joy every single day.
Kendall's Kitchen was built on values that matter to me - celebrating life, love, positivity, and above all, community. Every morning as I unlock our doors, I'm reminded that we're not just feeding people; we're creating a space where connections happen and memories are made. Our warm, inviting atmosphere is intentional - designed to fill not just bellies with exceptional baked goods, but hearts with a sense of belonging.

"Kendall's is such a refreshing improvement over its predecessor Charlie's Best Bread. Kendall's is nicely decorated, has delicious stuffed breakfast sandwiches, kolache (similar to Danish), and more."
