Brown Sugar Kitchen

RESTAURANT
Brown Sugar Kitchen is an Oakland, CA based breakfast and brunch restaurant that’s owned and operated by Executive Chef Tanya Holland. Brown Sugar Kitchen cooks with locally grown, organic and seasonal ingredients whenever possible.

FOOD
The cuisine at Brown Sugar Kitchen reflects Tanya Holland’s interpretation of Soul Food. Her influences include her African-American heritage, her formal training at La Varenne Ecole de Cuisine in France, and her general appreciation of a wide variety of cuisines.

BOOK
If you want to dig deeper into her down-home recipes and seasoned perspective on food, you can pick up a copy of her recipe book, “The Brown Sugar Kitchen Cookbook”. In her book, she provides some of her restaurants best recipe dishes from her thick Shrimp Gumbo to her celebrated Macaroni & Cheese.

DRINK
Our thoughtful wine list is international and eclectic. We also feature wines from California African-American Vintners as well as wines from the South of France, where Tanya completed her first stagiere position. Look for a few of your favorite microbrews on tap.

VIBE
The term “soul food” emerged at the same time as soul music; so naturally, music is a significant part of the experience at BSK. We hope our playlist will both surprise you and inspire you.
