I was hesitant with that choice playing it safe with poached eggs salmon over muffins with holidase sauce, which eased delicious

I had a lovely experience at Mid Kitchen. The shakshuka was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The avocado eggs benedict was also amazing—fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. Everything tasted high quality and satisfying. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was friendly. I would definitely come back!

People who work here are super friendly!! Food is great and the coffee is amazing, better than I could expect! There were 8 of us and I'm very happy we made a reservation because the place was packed, which is a good sign. I think we found a real gem 💎 thank you guys!!

Everything was great! The food was delicious, the place was clean and modern, and even the restroom was spotless. Staff were friendly, attentive, and fast. The food looked so good that I couldn’t resist taking a bite before snapping the photo 😄 Definitely recommend this place — I’ll be back for sure! 🙌

I would gatekeep this place so bad but they deserve a lot of love. The food here is spectacular (we had shakshuka and Turkish eggs — both were insanely good), the service is top-notch and the team is kind. The coffee is balanced and delicious. It’s a place I plan to go back to many times.

Loved our visit to Mid Kitchen! My kale salad was so fresh and flavorful—I enjoyed every bite. Efe was all smiles with his chocolate-drizzled waffle, and the banana milk was a huge hit. Such a cozy, friendly spot with great food and great vibes. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Everything about this place is amazing. The chef is wonderful. Ramazan is so friendly and I loved what he recommended. Turkish eggs are the way to go. My husband had the kale salad and my son had the waffle and banana milk!!! We will be definitely back and I highly recommend it.
