Cafe Kevah in Big Sur has an amazing and breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding area. We stopped in to have small plates to eat to tie us over until late lunch back in San Francisco. Cafe is situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean in every direction. It has plenty of outdoor seating, first come, first serve, and a great spot to have an outdoor meal while taking in the beautiful and peaceful scenery. Loved seeing the blue jays flying over us. Our food was overpriced but surprisingly well prepared and the view made up for it. After our lovely snacks, we went to the Phoenix gift shop on the lower level and picked up some small gift items. We even went to the top level to check out Nepenthe but the premium pricing discouraged us to dine there. We will definitely visit Cafe Kevin next time we are in Big Sur area.

Favorite place to stop & eat along the Big Sur highway. Amazing views, friendly staff, and great food. Of course it is a bit pricey, but you’re paying for the views & most places along the highway are pricey. The food is great quality. The breakfast burrito is the best one I’ve ever had. A great portion served with sour cream, salsa, and fresh fruit. The iced coffee is perfect & is bottomless (plus they’ll give you a to-go cup when you’re getting ready to leave for more iced coffee!). Great music always on the patio too. Love it at Cafe Kevah!!!!

Cafe Kevah was a fantastic stop, especially traveling with a two-year-old.
Despite being a self-order setup, the service was genuinely warm and attentive. Staff were patient, friendly, and made the experience feel relaxed rather than transactional.
Food was better than expected for a scenic brunch spot. I had the breakfast burrito, which was hearty and well done, along with a pastry that was fresh and satisfying. Espresso coffee was solid too, which is always appreciated in a remote location.
And of course, the view is spectacular. Sitting out there with coffee, good food, and a calm toddler felt like a real moment rather than a rushed pit stop.
One of the rare Highway 1 stops that manages to be scenic, family-friendly, and actually delivers on food quality. Would absolutely return.

After touring Big Surf all morning this is a great stop to have a late breakfast and coffee. The parking lot wasn’t busy in late October and we grabbed a nice table with umbrellas and a beautiful view.

The food as good, not great and bit pricey as expected. The staff seem very friendly and fast. Almost a must stop for chilling and the view.

The view is simply breathtaking. Honestly the food could be half as good and I’d continue coming here, but if you do stop by for breakfast the burrito is fantastic. It’s simply a magical place and it feels like the people who work here know it. I just can’t wait for the PCH to eventually open back up to make getting here easier. It’s been too long!

A superb place to stop on Highway 1. The sandwiches and drinks are very good and well served. But what makes this place special is the incredible view of the Pacific Ocean.
There may be a bit of a wait during tourist season, but the place is so pleasant that it’s not a problem.

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!

Amazing views and reasonably good food with no wait time, unlike the famous Nepenthe upstairs. The views are actually pretty similar so it is a decent compromise, as you only lose the number of food and drink options for the 30-45 minute wait time.

All the sandwiches are decently sized and come with a salad which is quite nice. They also have nice muffins, cookies, a breakfast menu and friendly staff. The restroom is downstairs in the gift shop.

Staff were great, ordered food and they brought to table and bussed it when we left. I got the Brioche French Toast w fruit compote, and my Mom got the breakfast burrito. The FT was pretty good, personally I think it needed more butter it felt a little dry but still yummy. The salsa was fresh and great with the burrito which my Mom loved. I got a Cafe Mocha and it tasted perfect. We came because I wanted to see the amazing views of the ocean, buy unfortunately the marine layer had other plans. The trees and other plants and flowers add to the beauty, so peaceful. We loved it. There is also a gift shop that opens at 10:30.
