As someone who takes their breakfast very seriously, Karen’s Bakery and Cafe instantly became my new go-to. Their Avocado Toast is a true morning masterpiece—crunchy, creamy, and generously portioned. For something heartier, the Breakfast Croissant Sandwich hits all the savory notes with fluffy eggs and melty cheese tucked inside a buttery croissant. Don’t even get me started on the Carnitas Tacos—they’re a bold, flavor-packed surprise you wouldn’t expect for breakfast. If you lean classic, go for the Chicken Apple Sausage or their comforting Chilaquiles Verde, which absolutely sings with fresh tomatillo sauce.
Midday? Karen’s lunch plates keep the goodness going. The Classic Cheeseburger is a juicy, no-frills comfort bite, and the Grilled Cheese brings that crispy, golden toast game strong. Pair the Avocado Toast & Mixed Greens Salad for a lighter, refreshing option that doesn’t skimp on satisfaction.
Their salads and soups are a highlight on their own. I’m obsessed with the seasonal Fall Salad—it’s a cozy blend of sweet and earthy. The Brussels Sprout Roasted Beet Salad and Mediterranean Salad are just as bold and nourishing. And don’t miss the Salmon Pasta Salad—rich, tangy, and just the right amount of indulgent.
For sandwich lovers, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. The Turkey Bacon Avocado is a powerhouse, while the Green Goddess Sandwich is a fresh, herby dream. But if you want big flavor, the Tri Tip Sandwich is melt-in-your-mouth magic.
Top it off with a Chocolate Frappe, a zingy Arnold Palmer, or a fresh Lemonade, and you’ve got the ultimate Karen’s experience—elevated comfort food with a thoughtful, homemade touch.
