The Kitchen Table a Popular Breakfast and Lunch Spot
Over 39 years ago, a little cafe on the corner of Maple and 3rd Street in Marshfield opened its doors. With a menu that featured fresh and local food, The Kitchen Table started building a reputation for tasty, creative and healthy dishes. Open from 7:00 am – 2:00 pm on Monday – Saturday, it is a drawing place for regular customers as well as those just passing through.
The Kitchen Table is a charming restaurant with blooming spring time flowers on the tables and vintage pictures on the walls. The red checked table cloths and family style seating make it feel like home. There is soft music playing in the background and randomly lit candles add to the cozy atmosphere.
Homemade white and whole wheat bread are made fresh each day. Omelettes are served throughout the open hours while a lunch menu is also available midday. Daily specials are available and room should always be made for homemade pies, cakes and crumbles. Those desserts are topped with fresh whipped cream, delicious and wonderfully presented.
Lloie Schwartz started the business and said it came together “with a dream and lots of hard work.” Customer satisfaction is a priority for Schwartz which is why only the freshest ingredients are used and all recipes are created by hand. She is open to sharing her creations and has multiple cookbooks available for purchase.
The cookbooks not only share many of the recipes created at The Kitchen Table, but also tips that Schwartz has found to be most helpful. From what type of pan to use to make an omelette, to where your bread is mostly likely to raise the most, insight is shared throughout the pages.
Creating dishes is a work of art for Schwartz. She, along with her fellow kitchen crew 
members, learn as they go, what food combinations work together and what do not.
They encourage people looking to recreate their dishes to veer off the beaten path and add their own twists. Experience doesn’t come overnight, but in time, anyone can be their own chef.
Since cooking is not always done at home, Schwartz is more than happy to feed hungry customers. “So glad we found you.” said Schwartz is what she hears the most. She credits the “food, service and ambiance” for drawing people in.
Added Schwartz, “After 39 years, I still love the work.”
