"Small restaurant in La Jolla that gets pretty busy so expect to wait a bit for your food. We came here on a weekday for brunch and were luckily able to snag a table by the entrance before a big group came in. Counter order and find your own table. The blue whale brekky, steak & eggs, and French toast were all delicious. I really like the sauteed greens that came with the brekky. The French toast was beautiful and was basically desserts for breakfast. Yum!Portions were big."

"We went to the Blue Whale for all three days of our trip to La Jolla! The drinks and food were delicious and flavorful. The entire staff was also extremely friendly and welcoming. We’d recommend this place to anyone in La Jolla and will definitely come again when we visit again :) PS - our favorite drink was the mango tajín smoothie!"

"The lattes are pretty solid in the cutest mugs and the french toast is pretty hefty and filling. Super cute little cafe with such a beachy vibe. The decor is super cute and gives such a cafe by the sea look."

"I really enjoyed the coffee shop. I went there to work but it is busy for working and the music is loud. It is better for hanging out. I had a rose tea and really enjoyed it. The parking situation is a bit difficult and hard to find, buy over all it was a great experience."

"We had a delicious and breezy Sunday brunch on the patio today and it felt so good!! We arrived at 9:30am - the line moved quick and we were able to find a table with no wait. The drinks were not overly sweet and we both loved our dishes. I ordered the Morning Sando and it was perfectly crisp, with a soft buttery middle. The hash brown had no business being as good as it was - in hindsight I wish I had ordered an extra!! If you arrive anytime after 10, the wait for a table starts to increase. There's no AC inside, but they keep the windows open to let the breeze though. The patio has ample umbrellas and we were seated in full shade which was nice. Blue Whale is quaint, but super cute and absolutely worth a visit!"
