Blue Whale is a restaurant that serves delicious food with a cozy ambiance and friendly staff. Located in downtown La Jolla, it used to be someone's home before being transformed into a cafe. The seating includes both outdoor and indoor options, with a charming coastal atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. It operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, which can lead to a wait during busy hours, especially after 10 am. Blue Whale only accepts card payments and does not take 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. 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 moist and flavorful, perfect for special occasions like birthdays. Unique drink choices, such as strawberry matcha and lavender iced latte, have also been well received. Visitors appreciate the friendly service, although some have noted that the outdoor music can be loud and not fitting for the vibe. Arriving early is advisable to enjoy the delicious food and breezy atmosphere without the wait. Overall, Blue Whale remains a popular spot for a delightful brunch experience.
