Brett LiderJanuary 27, 2014The best breakfast place in Big Sur. Great views and pretty good hot breakfast items in addition to bakery items.
Whitney FishmanOctober 21, 2015The pizzas are a must. The veggie sides can make up a meal on their own. Super kind staff... Ask them for wine recommendations. And don't forget to buy granola for the road !
The Bold ItalicApril 12, 2013Great pizzas and seasonal dishes, an excellent wine list, and a dreamy loose leaf tea selection. Call to reserve a table ahead of time if you go, before you get to Big Sur http://bit.ly/Zr8zjB
Jon BillsJanuary 7, 2016Delicious pizzas and a nice selection of beers. Expect crazy prices but it's high quality. I thought the service was really good. We were offered free pastries on leaving - nice touch!
KellyFebruary 27, 2023Everything about this place is fantastic! But something worth mentioning are the ginger scones! I will be dreaming about them until I can come back for more!
Mary SAugust 25, 2015Food is really good...but expensive. The portions are also small for brunch (should count as two meals, not a snack) considering all their customers have been hiking. We had to buy a $5 scone each.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 26, 2015Perfect after a great night sleep. This place is a must seen when dark falls but during day light as well to enjoy the amazing view!
SocialSoundSystemJanuary 14, 2013Get the fire roasted oysters for breakfast... Along with a breakfast pizza (avo instead of meat)... Combine with a some Crystal Hot Sauce. Pair with beer. ENJOY!
BommyNovember 9, 2018Yummy pastries, especially the blueberry strudel. Long line and there's no hot food in the mornings. Also, very expensive.
Wen DixieFebruary 23, 2013Bloody Mary & Margarita, 3 omelette with avocado bacon and cheese, grilled ham and cheese sandwich, meatlover's pizza, & oak-grilled burger
Harry MyhreDecember 30, 2014Everything is great here. Must stop! Excellent coffee and latte. Baked goods awesome.
Ingrid NylanderSeptember 11, 2018Coffee great and pastries delicious. Surprisingly hip cafe in the middle of a highway
Nina YiamsamathaFebruary 15, 2016The omelette was pretty bland, but the yogurt & granola was absolutely delicious.
Erik MoeFebruary 6, 2015Super friendly staff. Sit at the little coffee bar for dinner if you're traveling alone.
Mike WinnNovember 28, 2014Best ham and cheese croissant I've ever had. Good coffee too. But definitely pricey.
M MJuly 28, 2012Best pizza I have had outside of NYC. Pistachio cake was awesome. Butterscotch ice cream cake was disappointing (didn't taste like butterscotch)
Kyle MeyerOctober 20, 2012Sit outside at the foot of the mountains and enjoy one of the best brunches near the Bay Area.
Try the breakfast pizza with avocados instead of bacon. It's delicious!
Annie TengMay 26, 2013Brunch on the patio is essential before the big hike. Make a reservation to skip the wait.
Brian StraussJune 6, 2016First meal in civilization after camping after three days and it tasted like mana from heaven, but honestly it's overpriced (my burger was $23and served well done on a med rare order).
Tom FreimarkAugust 8, 2014Awesome place!!! My brothers reception was here love you Marcelo and Janine
Jag FirerwalkerAugust 2, 2015Pizza breakfast? This is insane. You crossed the 2 things I love the most.
LorealAugust 17, 2011Make a reservation if you want to have dinner. They seem to accommodate walk-ins, but if you can plan ahead, do.
- LorealAugust 17, 2011On the August 2011 menu, order the butternut squash pizza. Also, pray to get Toree as your server - he's adorable...
Allison McNeillyFebruary 19, 2012Most expensive coffee we've ever bought, but it truly is worth it - the barista here rocks!
Austin MillerAugust 10, 2014Good coffee, but no Wifi. And don't even bother asking the witch at the gift shop for theirs, she won't do it.
Best mocha in Big Sur! Get here early for the bakery counter! Especially on Sundays when everyone loads up for their drive home
Antonis KollatosJuly 23, 2014Tasty pizza, amazing dessert, BUT VERY VERY rude service. Very bad attitude from Jenn,made us feel unpleasant. She even brought the check while we were still eating. $50 for a pizza, coffee,and desert
Maria LambertMay 29, 2011Date pecan muffin is phenomenal. Great coffee too- pricey but free refills if you ask.
