Gorda Cafe - Big Sur

Nautical motif was fun; clean; friendly staff; convivial, bright atmosphere; tasty food at prices appropriate to the Big Sur area. We enjoyed our uncrowded, leisurely lunch along with tales of local history. We missed the black walnut pie 'tho the baker arrived just before we departed! We shall return on our next journey south.

It was such a treat to stumble across this place for breakfast! My husband and I were visiting the Monterey/Big Sur/Carmel-by-the-Sea area from out of town and we originally were planning on going to Big Sur Bakery (unfortunately it had been burned down in a fire and weren't able to go). We had just done the drive over the Bixby Bridge and were looking for a place to have breakfast. We were so glad that we ended up at Cafe Kevah! We ordered our breakfast/coffee drinks at the register then picked a table to sit at. The view is just stunning, it didn't feel real. The food was good and the bacon was perfectly crispy. We enjoyed watching a local bird bounce around on the fence and the coffee drinks were perfect.

Be prepared to pay premium for the food, but the view is amazing!

Come to Café Kaveh for the view and stay for good food. Perched high above the rugged coastline of Big Sur, Café Kaveh offers an idyllic sanctuary where nature’s grandeur meets human comfort. The outdoor terrace, framed by rust-colored railings, provides a stunning panoramic view of the deep blue Pacific Ocean stretching endlessly towards the horizon, mingling with the lush, green mountains that cascade down to the sea. Under the shade of broad white umbrellas, colorful chairs surround rustic wooden tables, inviting guests to relax and savor solid coffee and enjoyable food. Amid this serene setting, you are likely to see vibrant blue jays hopping from table to table, curiously pecking at crumbs left behind, adding a touch of whimsy to the tranquil scene. The crisp ocean breeze mingles with the rich aroma of fresh coffee, creating an atmosphere of peaceful indulgence and natural beauty.

Regretted dining here from the start the cashier was rude and not friendly at all. I noticed his arrogant rude demeanor towards everyone. The food needs more flavor.
