Karen’s Kitchen – Kapitolyo

Karen’s Kitchen is a beautiful cafe and restaurant in a lovely home setting in Kapitolyo. It’s known for their specialty cakes, healthy meals, and afternoon tea sets.

Karen’s Kitchen started as a hobby for Karen Young as she loves to bake and started supplying for restaurants around the city back in 2000. She set up a commissary in Palm Village in 2011 and then opened up a retail store in Dasmarinas, Makati in 2011.

In 2015, she decided to open up her own place in Kapitolyo, in a restored house. Her main business first comprised of her serving some of her premium cakes and pastries, including her afternoon tea set that comes with a tray of sweet and savory treats.

Some of her guests requested for some meat and pasta, so she eventually added a selection of meals comprising of dishes like salad, crispizza, pasta, ribs, and more.

A dining experience here would not be complete without an encounter with the beautiful, Ms. Karen Young. She’ll gladly share with her guests the story behind her restaurant, maybe a few facts about England and the proper way the ladies of leisure drink their tea, the key ingredients in her dishes, and more.

You might even catch her belting out a tune from Les Misérables or singing French songs like La Vie en rose!

As for the interiors, being a restored home, so stepping inside feels like visiting a close aunt as she prepares you some of her home-cooked meals. The ambience of the place is very homey and comforting – a place where a person can feel relaxed and enjoy good conversations.

Everything is vintage, from the oven as a centrepiece, the vintage kitchen tools, and even the furniture.
