Comfort Kitchen Cafe — Restaurant in Kinnelon

Second BUT last time! The first time was in May & I had a delicious Crispy Chicken sandwich however the service was not welcoming or warm but since I was in a dark place personally I brushed it off to my inner turmoil. Today I decided to try again and not only was the service horrible the food did not come close to the $30 I spent. I am a Latina woman and I hate to think that the way I was treated had to do with my race but it’s how I felt both times walking into this place. My experience was as follows… I wanted to sit outside so my plan was to order at the counter and take it outside but I was told they would bring me a menu…ok! The menu was brought but that was the end of service as I waited about 15 minutes for someone to return…fine I’ll go in & order! The owner apologized & took my order…BLT w/ roast beef & cheddar cheese. I go back out…food comes, nice young man brings my food…sandwich has no bacon & dry (smidge of mayo) no 2 minute check…I served through college. I go back in…I get the look…the what now look…”there’s no bacon on my BLT” hand to her and walk out to my table. 2 minutes later it comes back to me with cold dry bacon that was just thrown on top, again not a single check in, until 30 minutes later to ask “would you like anything else” I’m guessing it’s time for the check to be dropped! It is. Go in pay and leave because although I bleed red & my money is green I feel very unwelcome. This is the point I dust off my sandals and never go back BUT not without speaking out on this horrible experience because NOBODY should be...

I have mixed reviews here. I really liked our server, she was very attentive and sweet and though I didn't have the best experience with my food, she did such a good job fixing it.

We weren't in a rush, but the fix took a very long time. My husband got a breakfast wrap and he said it was, "barely mediocre", I sort of wish they made the chocolate milk by hand, it seems like a store that would have yummy local chocolate milk because of the brand but they use the fridge nesquick (over ice for some reason) which was unexpected.

I got the apple steel cut oatmeal which I was very excited for and it came out just awful. It was SOOO watery, almost like a soup and flavorless... it was just terrible. HOWEVER, my wonderful server took my suggestion of just zhuzing it up and she brought me a small plate of extras to add. It was quite delicious after that. They should always serve this dish we these sides .

I will say the coffee was good. I'm willing to give it another shot but not my...

I’ve been visiting this new café frequently, and it’s been a pleasure to watch it grow into a truly quality establishment. Taking over the former deli/pizza spot, this new kitchen has breathed fresh life into the space — both in atmosphere and offerings.

Their menu is a standout, featuring everything from fresh avocado toast on homemade sourdough to unique lunch sandwiches and daily specials that keep things exciting. Whether I stop in for a full breakfast or just a single espresso enjoyed outside on their cozy rocking chairs, I always leave satisfied.

What makes this place even more special is the warm, family-run feel. The staff — young, kind, and attentive — are clearly well-trained and genuinely welcoming. Their friendly service keeps me coming back time and time again.

It’s refreshing to have a spot like this in town. Great food, great coffee, and even better people. Highly recommend stopping by if you...
