Blue Whale is a restaurant that serves delicious food with a cozy ambiance and friendly staff. It is located in downtown La Jolla and used to be someone's home before being turned into a cafe. The seating includes both outdoor and indoor options, and it operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, which can lead to a wait during busy hours. They only accept card payments and do not accept cash.
The menu offers various options, including burgers, lox, burritos, pancakes, and açaí bowls, all praised for their quality. The breakfast burrito and Morning Sando are particularly noteworthy dishes. Drinks are not overly sweet, and portions are generous. Recent reviews highlight the amazing brunch experience, with the breakfast burrito featuring a crispy hash brown, plenty of avocado, and fresh salsa. Another favorite is the Ube Pancakes, described as fluffy, flavorful, and perfect, making it a top choice for celebrating special occasions like birthdays. The atmosphere is charming and coastal, with outdoor seating providing a relaxing setting for brunch. Visitors note that arriving early is advisable to avoid waiting, especially after 10 am. Overall, Blue Whale remains a popular spot for delicious food and a breezy, vacation-like vibe.
