This has always been the go to spot for me on my way back from Laguna Seca and World Superbike/MotoGP races. I always got the BBQ Chicken, an endless cup coffee and of course the grand finale was a huge piece of delicious carrot cake. No rushing, no problem sitting there hanging out chatting with the help and guests.
They recognized me when I would come in year after year on my motorcycle. Great place, can’t beat the view. The food was fantastic, the service impeccable....read full review

What a treat and just what we needed as we drove through Big Sur along CA 1. Our BLT was delicious and hit the spot. Ask for Betty, she’s a gem!!
“Such a beautiful area, and the food was absolutely delicious. Our waitress, Betty, was incredible — she handled the entire place on her own and never missed a beat. That woman deserves a raise!

Whale Watchers Cafe offers an amazing view of the Pacific Ocean, making it a great spot to stop and enjoy a meal or a beer. The atmosphere is peaceful, with ample parking available. Although it can be expensive, the exceptional location and view make it worth the cost. The cafe serves excellent meals, including fish and chips, burgers, and tuna melts, with friendly service. Visitors frequently return, appreciating the fantastic views and friendly staff. The food is generally good, with some mentioning the fish and chips being fresh and tasty, and the service being impeccable. While prices for some items like burgers may be high, the experience of dining with an unobstructed ocean view and the chance to relax and chat with staff make it a memorable stop. The cafe is also a convenient spot for travelers to find food, gas, and firewood, especially since it’s one of the few places within 20 miles offering such services.
