After touring Big Surf all morning this is a great stop to have a late breakfast and coffee. The parking lot wasn’t busy in late October and we grabbed a nice table with umbrellas and a beautiful view.
The food as good, not great and bit pricey as expected. The staff seem very friendly and fast. Almost a must stop for chilling and the view.

The view is simply breathtaking. Honestly the food could be half as good and I’d continue coming here, but if you do stop by for breakfast the burrito is fantastic. It’s simply a magical place and it feels like the people who work here know it. I just can’t wait for the PCH to eventually open back up to make getting here easier. It’s been too long!

We visited this place for coffee.. it was good, but it could have been a little hotter. The location is excellent and the sea view from the deck is absolutely stunning.

A superb place to stop on Highway 1. The sandwiches and drinks are very good and well served. But what makes this place special is the incredible view of the Pacific Ocean. There may be a bit of a wait during tourist season, but the place is so pleasant that it's not a problem.

Food was good (but coffee was bad), service was friendly, and views are great. But my god the flies make it impossible to enjoy anything, there are so many flies everywhere it's almost unhygienic

Pastries were bad—extremely dry and flavors were bland.
Service was poor—no one was at the desk for about 10 minutes when we arrived, and they were not friendly at all when they finally came out.
Despite being completely outdoors, (large concrete patio with very little shade), dogs are not permitted.
Views are stunning, like most places we visited in Big Sur.
Amazing view, we had smoothies which were good. Very nice place to stop while visiting Big Sur

Cafe Kevah is an absolute gem in Big Sur! The location is breathtaking, with stunning views of the coastline that make it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and it feels like a peaceful retreat away from the busy world.
The food and drinks are just as amazing as the view! The pastries are fresh and delicious, and the coffee is rich and flavorful – definitely some of the best I’ve had along the coast. Their breakfast options are fantastic, especially if you enjoy a hearty meal to start your day.
The staff is warm and friendly, making you feel welcome the moment you arrive. They are quick, attentive, and genuinely care about giving you a great experience.
If you’re visiting Big Sur, Cafe Kevah is a must-stop. Whether you’re there for a quick coffee, a delicious bite to eat, or simply to soak in the incredible scenery, it’s a place you won’t forget. Highly recommend!

Cafe Kevah is the Cafe attached to Nepenthe. If you've been to Big Sur before you know you will pay a premium no matter where you eat. We had eaten the day prior at River Inn and were incredibly disappointed with the service and food for the price point.
Cafe Kevah was the opposite. The staff was incredibly friendly. The food, while still paying a premium, was fresh, well prepared, and appealingly plated. We ordered the classic eggs benedict, mixed berry cheese pastry, side of bacon, oj and cappuccino. The benedict and home fries were delicious. The side of fresh oranges and ample grapes were a nice touch. The pastry was large and fresh. Cappuccinos were great. For $7, we had hoped the oj would be fresh squeezed, but didn't seem to be.
Ultimately though you don't go here for the food. You go here for the view. THE VIEW!! Go here for the view. Did I mention the view? If you are in Big Sur this is a must stop.

I came here during my visit to Big Sur and it is a MUST. I saw somebody mention their cappuccino wasn’t good and I disagree. I thoroughly enjoyed my americano that I got and the breakfast burrito was massive and very good. You will not be disappointed if you come here!

Amazing views, but like another review said: maybe the worst latte I’ve ever had (and the most expensive)
