Blue Kitchella — Restaurant in Portage

My family and I visited for breakfast and were thoroughly impressed! I ordered the sausage biscuit and gravy—a delightful bowl layered with potatoes and fried eggs both on top and bottom. Simply delicious! My kids chose the regular and berry waffles, which were so perfectly made they barely needed syrup. The fruit served was notably fresh and high quality.

One minor issue was the chocolate milk. Made with chocolate syrup, it unfortunately missed the mark—appearing light tan rather than the rich brown you'd expect. My 8-year-old, his aunt, and I all tried it and agreed it tasted more like altered milk than chocolate milk. A suggestion would be to use more syrup (perhaps Hershey's) to achieve that true chocolate flavor.

The staff provided prompt, friendly service, and the restaurant's interior is beautifully designed. The ordering system is fast-casual style, similar to Culver's—you order at the counter, receive a number, and they bring the food to your table.

Seating was somewhat challenging for our larger group (5 adults, a child, and a toddler) as the space is primarily arranged with booths. We managed by combining a loose table with a booth, but it wasn't ideal. I heard they're planning renovations, so hopefully they'll consider more flexible seating options for larger groups.

They also feature a small bakery section with an impressive array of treats that looked absolutely amazing! Overall, it's a great establishment offering excellent value for money. The food quality definitely justifies the price, and I'm already planning...

You guys sure make it hard to be loyal customers!

We drive about 15 minutes to have breakfast here, but the atmosphere is relaxed and enjoyable with our young child. The location is cute, very efficient and always clean. But in the relatively short time you've been open, you have changed or removed most of our favorite items.

You had an awesome ancho sauce on your breakfast burrito. We came in weekly, sometimes twice, because my husband loved it. Then they kept forgetting to put the sauce on, so we would ask for it. By the 3rd time this happened, we were told you were no longer making the sauce.

Then your days and hours changed.

Now, it's my son's favorite. He LOVED your cookie "monstah" donuts. We have gone in sometimes because he specifically requested one. He'd call the pink one "Elmo," and he'd order it his sweet little 2-year-old self. Low and behold, we go in last week and no more monstah donuts. No more AMAZING MI apple fritters! Sigh...just lard-heavy "cronuts."

THE SERVICE IS ALWAYS AWESOME!

But you keep taking away good things to cut cost, and it shows. How much of your heart and soul can you cut out before you have nothing left to bring us in? We went from coming in weekly, certain we found our new breakfast spot, to asking ourselves if it is worth the trip. As it is, your nitro cold brew is no longer enough to get me to drive...

Yum! Finally, a drive-thru breakfast that isn’t super greasy and sure to bog you down. Their sausage is flavorful and the eggs were done just right- not too jiggly and not too dry.

Service is good too. There’s a kiosk ordering option, but the lady at the counter offered to input the order so we wouldn’t need to.

Today I had the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a brioche bun and hubs did the Southern chicken biscuit, which included a honeyed biscuit (delicious!), fried chicken, bacon, egg, and cheese. I will say their biscuits are crumbly and not as friendly for going down the road, so it was good we dined in this time.

Then there’s the DONOTS! They have quite a few flavors to choose from and the cronots (cross between donut and croissant) may be one of the best baked goods in town.

Prices are fair for the quality- hubs and I spent
