Kendall’s Kitchen
Best Place for Lunch in Pacific Beach
“It’s like a bakery portal in a breakfast cafe and I just have to start my morning there. And since I don’t have a front porch, I get a coffee and a klobasnek and a cookie and sit on their front porch.”

"Since Kendall's Kitchen has opened, I have been there most days! I often get a Klobasnek (savory) or Kolache (sweet) pastry and coffee. They are the most interesting pastries I've ever had."

"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."
