Crema's Take
“Fat Cats is a legendary harbor-side breakfast and lunch spot where the owner actively works the room, making regulars and first-timers alike feel genuinely welcomed. The seafood is generous and fresh—particularly the halibut and scallops—though expect everything to lean fried and portions to be substantial, so come hungry and ready to linger over water views of Avila Beach pier. It's the kind of place locals have been returning to for decades, and it shows in both the loyal energy and the straightforward, no-fuss execution.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

This place is legendary in the area. We have been several times over the last 30 years. For being on the harbor I was hoping for more of a fish selection. The menu was mostly crab, a few cods, and shrimp. I did get the breaded prawns and they were good with the rice pilaf. My…
Most food is fried. But, they do have sandwiches. Generous portions for scallops. Halibut tasted fresh and delicious. Clam chowder was very good. Kids’ fish and chips was above average.
