Crema's Take

Perched dramatically on the Big Sur cliffs with unobstructed Pacific Ocean views, Café Kevah transforms a coffee stop into a full sensory experience where the scenery is as nourishing as the food. Their warm, attentive service and solid breakfast offerings—especially the burritos—make it worth lingering over a traditional espresso drink at one of their shaded outdoor tables, though be prepared for prices that reflect both the location and the undeniable magic of the setting. It's the kind of place where families, couples, and solo travelers all find themselves lingering longer than planned, watching the coastline unfold while sipping their coffee.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

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…

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…
