Love Lane Kitchen
All-day Mattituck café and dinner spot on Love Lane — North Fork breakfast institution and easy mid-day stop between tastings.
Love Lane Kitchen anchors Mattituck's compact Love Lane shopping street with breakfast, lunch and dinner service seven days a week. Strong coffee, oversized brunch plates, sandwiches built on local bread and a seasonal dinner menu make it the most reliable all-day option on the western North Fork. The patio out front is the move on a sunny day — a five-minute drive from Macari, Paumanok and Bridge Lane Wine, which makes it the natural mid-tasting refuel.
Brunch, all-day menu, central Mattituck location
Current hours
Breakfast and lunch run all seven days, roughly 8am to 4pm. Dinner is limited to Friday through Monday, 4:30–9pm — it is not served Tuesday or Wednesday evenings. 1 Breakfast and lunch are first-come, first-served with no reservations; the restaurant will text a party when a table opens up. 1
Monday burger night
From October through May, the restaurant runs a recurring $24 burger-and-beer night on Mondays, with a choice of beef, lamb, turkey or black bean patty paired with a draft beer. 1
Party platters for wine-country picnics
Love Lane Kitchen sells made-to-order platters for pickup — sandwich platters at $179 (8–12 people) or $298 (16–20 people), plus cold salads such as pasta salad ($139/$179 small/large) and chicken mango avocado salad ($160/$250 small/large). Orders need 48 hours notice. 2 That makes it a practical stop for putting together a picnic before a day of vineyard visits rather than only a sit-down meal.
Everything made from scratch
The restaurant states that its dressings, soups, sauces and dishes are all made from scratch and to order; coffee is self-serve during breakfast and lunch once seated. 1
Parking and getting a table
Love Lane Kitchen sits at 240 Love Lane in Mattituck. The restaurant notes street parking along Love Lane plus two parking lots on either side of the street behind the storefronts, and additional parking in the train station lot nearby. 1 Since breakfast and lunch don't take reservations, the restaurant suggests walking Love Lane's shops while waiting for a text that a table has opened up.
Coffee, cocktails and holiday closures
Beyond the food menus, Love Lane Kitchen runs its own coffee program — lattes, drip coffee, iced coffee and matcha — plus a seasonally inspired, locally sourced cocktail menu. 1 The restaurant closes on Christmas Day, Thanksgiving and Easter Sunday, and opens later, at 9am, on New Year's Day. 1
