Nestled in Upham's Corner Dorchester, we're an intimate and lively restaurant serving brunch on the weekend and dinner at night with a full bar and outdoor patio. Our food is a celebration of the ingredients and flavors of the African diaspora connected from Asia to the Americas, global comfort food.

Patio Dining

Enjoy the Comfort Kitchen experience on one of our patios surrounded by lush greenery and local art during brunch & dinner service. Reservations and walk-ins (weather-dependent).

We are located in Dorchester in the historic Upham's Corner Comfort Station —built in 1912 to support the expanding street car system. After being unused for over 50 years, it was completely restored and renovated by Historic Boston Inc. and brought back to life as Comfort Kitchen's new home. We opened our doors in January 2023 after a series of pop-ups around the city.

• Street parking on Columbia Road + side streets

• Public Parking lot nearby behind CVS Pharmacy

• MBTA Red line train to Andrew, JFK/UMASS, or Savin Hill

• Commuter Rail to Uphams Corner Station

• Bus access #15, #16, #17, #41

• Wheelchair-accessible entrances & ramp

We believe that food is a vital aspect of community building. We envision a place that is actively engaged in the celebration of art and history of our local community. We're seeking to partner with individuals, groups, and organizations who want to make a positive impact.
