Go-to for a solid breakfast or brunch! So many tempting choices on the menu that it’s hard to decide. The food always comes out fresh, fast, and looking great.
Phenomenal brunch flavors are worth the wait (and sore bum)! Kitchen Story is an epic brunch spot. If you're planning a weekend visit, I definitely recommend making a reservation, or be prepared for a bit of a wait. I met a friend here for Sunday brunch, and we ordered an assortment of plates and beverages to share. Everything was delicious and repeatable, but here's my order of personal preference for the food: Korean FC Wings: Crispy, flavorful, and absolutely standout. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: Perfectly fluffy, and bright flavors on perfectly prepared pancakes. Goji Bowl: A solid, satisfying savory option. For beverages, the Ube Latte and the Millionaire's Bloody Mary were the stars of the show. Their house coffee and unsweetened passion fruit iced tea were good, but fairly standard. My only suggestion for management would be to invest in more comfortable seating, but honestly, it was worth the sore bum to enjoy all those delicious flavors! I will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.
Awesome menu, great food and drinks. Bold favor and creative menu. One of a kind in this area. Nice interior and friendly staff. Interior is bright with upbeat decor. Parking is kinda hard to find so carpool or Uber here. Make reservation or be prepared to wait! Good value for food but it is on the pricy side. Around $30-40 per person for brunch
Kitchen Story is one of those places that keeps you coming back. Their food is the perfect mix of comfort and creativity. The Millionaire’s Bacon is simply spectacular—thick, crispy, and with just the right balance of sweet and savory. Their brunch never disappoints, with generous portions and flavorful dishes. The atmosphere is cozy and modern, making it a great spot to go with friends or for a casual date. There’s sometimes a wait to get a table, but the service is friendly and efficient, so it’s definitely worth it. Easily one of my favorite brunch spots in Oakland!

The outdoor seating is a nice bonus, especially on a pleasant day, providing a relaxed dining experience.
