Kitchen in the canyon ,,, A cozy hidden gem in the canyon at Laguna Beach. Perfect for both brunch and a casual burger & beer. The Eggs Benedict is phenomenal, and the fries are some of the best in OC. Friendly staff and a lovely couple running the place with real care and passion. Highly recommended!

We have been in Laguna 4 nights and this is the best breakfast. I had the yogurt bowl with lemon curd. So good and my wife had the avacado toast with a perfect poached egg. This is her third time ordering avacado toast in Laguna and the best so far. The honey cinnamon lattes were delicious.

Kitchen in the Canyon is a true local gem! Located right by the art and design college’s south campus, it has such a welcoming, creative vibe. One of the best perks is the free parking right in front, which is a rare and welcome find in Laguna Beach! ​Our group tried a bit of everything: the steel-cut oatmeal, pancakes, the breakfast sandwich, and the 'Eggs Please' plate. Every single dish was a hit—everyone left very happy. The latte was also delicious and perfectly made. Beyond the food, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, checking on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. This is definitely a place you’ll want to visit again and again. Highly recommended!

Amazing place with great food. The owners welcome you in and have extreme patience. This is a rarity in this world of rush. I have been there several times and have ordered different items each time. Cannot go wrong with any breakfast choice. I drive 20 minutes through traffic from home to eat here.
