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)

Victor working the counter at Cafe Kevah was holding it down! Exceptional customer service. He was able to fulfill the orders of a long line of customers 30 minutes before closing while simultaneously fielding all the questions of people who didn’t know the cafe was closing/weren’t happy about the Nepenthe wait times/wanted other restaurant recommendations. I have never seen someone so capable of staying friendly, warm, and polite no matter the tone of the people speaking to him. Idk what they’re paying him now, but he needs a raise just for what I saw him handle last Saturday. The GOAT
Also the food & views were delish! You’re paying for the views and the customer service here at Nepenthe/Cafe Kevah, so it’s okay that the food was less interesting and expensive (imo).

atmosphere is absolutely 5/5 stars. beautiful!!!!! sat here for hours & chatted & played card games with friends. staff seemed to be moving fast as it was quite busy, but it resulted in burnt-tasting espresso shots for all of us. none of us would reorder coffee, it was poor quality, and extremely pricy for what we received. but the view was just lovely!!
Pets are unfortunately not allowed on their patio.

Maybe the worst cappuccino I have ever had. I feel like you have to try to make it that bad. The views are great though which is why most people come here but you can get good views anywhere in Big Sur. I don’t think this place is worth it by any means.

Not dog friendly! Despite a beautiful open patio and our pup being a calm, quiet small dog. The cashier said to grab a menu, sit anywhere and order at the counter, paused and then said “and dogs aren’t allowed” as she was standing next to us the whole time.

Cafe Kevah is the perfect spot for a leisurely brunch with spectacular ocean views. Nestled above Big Sur, the café offers fresh and flavorful dishes, with the avocado toast and pastries being personal favorites. The relaxed ambiance and stunning cliffside setting make it an unforgettable dining experience. Arrive early for the best seating with a view!
