Lovely light, a great place to get lunch with a friend or a good book. Everything is delicious and fresh. I highly recommend.
Love the pizza here! It’s made with fresh ingredients, I shared one with my friend for lunch. It’s worth a try!

The most amazing California cuisine. Everything I've had from Summer Kitchen has been super delicious, every little detail of each dish. They epitomize the standard for a farm to table restaurant. I cannot recommend this place enough.
I tried the salmon with parsnip puree and pomegranate apple at this restaurant and it was amazing! The salmon was cooked to perfection, melting in my mouth.
We passed after we had eaten somewhere (I know that was probably a mistake) Dessert wanted. I saw a sweet little cupcake with fresh berries and thought perf! . And then I asked what this other hot mess of oatmeal cinnamon and apple and bread was and heard it had also cured lemon I and perhaps a remarkable explicative for them know what I wanted when I did not.. All right! Are they kidding? It is crispy at the lower edges, but the tender apples are still crispy and the lemon is just enough with the crumb. I had it later with a latte and I am surprised that I had no dreams about this tart. Cupcake would normally have been amazing. The berry cream had a fresh taste and the berries were delicious. But honestly, I'm all about this date. A
My favorite part of Summer Kitchen is the fact that they are inexpensive and organic. Among the casual lunch options around them are better than most only the block next to Italian homemade. Your pizzas are not great in my opinion and we rarely get them, but their hot food is pretty good: spaghetti, roast chicken and sandwiches are all solid.

Great pizza, great sandwiches good baked goods if you get them before they’re gone. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3 Service: Takeaway Price per person: $20–30
Can we please bring back quality control? Paid $30 for a half chicken and the whole thing reeked of some weird chemical. Could barely take a few bites and threw the rest in the trash. Shame bc this is one of my go to places, and I would drive from Oakland to pick up. Food: 2 Service: 3
