Came hungry, left emotionally fulfilled. The food was excellent--high-quality ingredients clearly assembled by people who care deeply about flavor, joy, and probably their life choices. Every bite tasted intentional, like it had a résumé. The service? Equally great. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming that I briefly wondered if we were old friends or if I'd accidentally joined a very warm, delicious family. In short: amazing food, wonderful people, zero regrets. Would absolutely come back and bring my appetite and my feelings. read more

Just want to start off by saying, What an amazing brunch/breakfast place!!! This restaurant has the views and the food! Right on the water with good views of the pier and ocean. A little small, with about 8 tables inside and couple of two seaters outside on the patio. This is an order and then seat place and they'll bring your food to your table. The host took my order and was super friendly and helpful. Great vibes! The food was amazing and let me tell you, I'd go back every day if I could. Their apple waffle was , I'm usually not a waffle guy, but this had the tastes of an Apple Cinnabon with good amount of sweetness and great flavor!! I would order this again. The breakfast sandwich, sausage, egg, cheese, hash browns, with an English muffin has an option of upgrading it to their cheese bagel. Let me tell you, if you like bagels, 100 get the upgrade to the bagel because the whole combo works so well and is ! Loved it, it was so good and the portion was huge! GREAT food and Great service with Great views!! A solid 5/5!!! read more

Spectacular location for a relaxing lunch. It couldn't be more convenent for visitors that are wandering around downtown, and the food was delightful. It's a casual, order at the counter establishment, where guests receive friendly greetings while coming and going. The BLT was amazing - I'm usually not a fan of adding a fried egg onto something like a burger, which is fine on its own. But a fried egg and arugula in a BLT on brioche bread made for an amazing combination. Highly recommended. My wife had the avocado toast, which came with much more than the two namesake ingredients. The menu here isn't huge, but it is full of creatively built comfort food. You'll enjoy views of the harbor from the windows in back, and you'll certainly enjoy your meal at Whale Bites. read more

Appreciated the all vegan menu items! Ordered the vegan breakfast burrito which was massive! Loaded with ingredients that were perfectly paired with the aioli sauce that just slapped you in the face with deliciousness. It's definitely a big size and heavier feeling item so be prepared for that. Also took quite a while so be prepared for a wait if it's a busy day. read more

Best breakfast of our entire PNW trip. We camped not far from here and decided we'd come have breakfast with a view. Much to our surprise the food was outstanding!! Our 5 yr old daughter had a breakfast sandwich and said it was the best she's ever had! It was an Easy Sailor Sandwich with sausage, egg & cheese on an English muffin. Our other daughter had the Banana Cream Pie Waffle. This waffle was huge and also one of the best we've ever had! It has a maple cream sauce and a salted caramel sauce. So good!! My husband had the wild salmon bagel and it was the best I've ever had! I've eaten salmon on a bagel many way in many places and this one takes the prize! I ordered the sunrise burrito and oh my goodness, amazingly delicious, it will leave you so full and able to share. I had the chipotle rosemary aioli on it and it was fantastic. We complimented the best breakfast ever with fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee. The staff was very friendly and helpful to give us their recommendations based on what we were thinking. Our food was made fresh and came out fairly quickly. There was a great view from any of the seats. Do yourself a favor and support this amazing business. You won't be disappointed. read more

One of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had! Crunchy hash browns, savory sausage, crispy bacon, melted cheese, and a perfectly cooked egg--all stacked on a warm, cheesy Asiago bagel. Every bite had the perfect balance of flavor and texture. Salty, crispy, cheesy, and totally satisfying. If you're a breakfast sandwich fan, this one hits all the right notes! read more

Best breakfast food ever! I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. This is located in a small cafe setting with seating both inside and outside. They also have fun books and playing cards to enjoy. The entire staff here are both friendly and energetic creating a wonderful experience, and making everyone feel welcome. They have both a regular menu and a vegan menu with several options to choose from. My family and I ordered the vegan strawberry shortcake waffle, vegan banana cream pie waffle, and the vegan depoe burrito. The waffles were hands down the best waffles I've ever had. They were full of flavor and were light and fluffy. The vegan burrito was also delicious, and let me tell you. They aren't kidding when they say that this burrito is HUGE. My family and I really enjoyed dining here, and cannot wait to return again when we are in the area! read more

We were a Party of Four and enjoyed the wonderful service and incredible VIEWS! So memorable on our 40th Wedding Anniversary Vacation in DePoe Bay. I ordered the Wild Salmon, which reading the ingredients did not mention the hot pepper that was in the bagel sandwich. Had I known I wouldn't have ordered because of stomach problems with any kind of pepper. First bite was overpowering with hot pepper. I just thought it was a fluke because the second bite was delicious and I could taste the salmon and all the other other ingredients. But the third bite was overwhelming with pepper again and I just couldn't eat it. My husband, Mr. Picky ordered a sandwich that had pickled peppers in it and again it was so overwhelming with nothing but the taste of peppers. We don't like to make a fuss as we did appreciate how nice they all were. Just be forewarned and ask if peppers are in the sandwich; mine didn't mention it in the menu, Mr. Picky's did say "pickled peppers" and it was just too much. read more

We came here on the recommendation of our hotel staff, and it was SO delicious! The owners and staff are so committed to great food, service and the details. I love supporting local small businesses! When you pull up to the building, it is not impressive, and we actually missed it the first time. We swung back around and parked in front and it doesn't have much outside curb appeal, but don't be fooled! Once you walk inside and eat their food and encounter their staff, it is a different story! They also have great outdoor seating overlooking the harbor at Depoe Bay. Portions are huge, and the quality of food and spices, herbs and sauces are perfect. Great job! They also have card games and so many groups were playing. read more

There is SO much to love about Whale Bites Cafe! The food is excellent. You can tell that Josh and Julia put tremendous thought into the combination of ingredients for each dish. Our family ordered several different items and they all were remarkably delicious. The service is also very friendly and prompt. While they are often busy (a good sign), the staff does a great job to promptly prepare the food and beverages. And finally, the location is wonderful! Overlooking the harbor, you can observe gorgeous scenes and wildlife. 10/10 would recommend! read more

If you've never been. You have to try this little cafe. Locals and visitors keep them quite busy. Tables are scarce, but if it's nice outside they have some seating down towards the wharf. The breakfast sandwich was just perfect. Regular drip coffee or smoothies are also available. It takes a while to get your food order so be prepared. Try a locally owned business the next time you are in the area. read more

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast while waiting for our whale watching tour, saved 10% due to our booking. I had the smoked salmon on a Eagle with a great spread, sprouts and thin sliced red onion. It was great, the Bagel was soft and flavorful while the rest worked together perfectly. The smoked salmon had a touch of heat to it that was just right. Staff was friendly and helpful and the view relaxing. It is fun to look down on the "world's smallest harbor" read more

Whale Bites Cafe is located south of the bridge that separates Depoe Bay from the ocean and the views from the patio overlooking the bay are great. In the main restaurant there 8 small tables inside and 2 tables on the back porch. It can get crowded during peak breakfast, but they'll do carry out too. I had the Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich and it can with sausage, bacon, hash brown, egg, cheese and a spicy sauce an on english muffin. The combination of flavors was amazing. My brother got the Pick Four plate. All the food was excellent. Pastries and cookies are available as well though their popular cinnamon rolls weren't available today. Service was outstanding. Everybody there was friendly and attentive. We had a great meal and a great dining experience here. read more

Great food, great service, great coffee!! Don't underestimate this little cafe, it's so cute & feels like home.

Home run on breakfast - missus wanted something fresh and healthy and I wanted classic diner - hit both needs! First off - lattes were excellent and they have lots of milk options (oat,almond, soy). My breakfast burrito was chock full of bacon, eggs, hash brown, sausage, cheese and arugula. Her toast was super fresh and full of greens, avocados, and hummus. Menu options are not huge but what they have is well done. Portions were large, and prices were very fair. read more

First off, this place is KEEEYYYUTE! It's small but has great views of the world's smallest bay. The menu has something for everyone! It's hard to choose one thing because all of the smells have you drooling! I saw apple fritter waffles on the menu and was easily convinced I HAVE TO order those. I didn't want to experience FOMO. My boyfriend ordered the devil bowl, such an amazing scramble. I had some jealousy. Also felt some twinges of envy when the table next to me had their burritos delivered. Gorgeous burritos. The staff went above and beyond, they brought out my waffles with candles for my birthday. It made me feel really special. Coffee was hot and delicious! read more

Whale Bites is in a great location, on the corner of the bridge. They have limited but tasty menu and they make a pleasant smoothie! We ordered the sunrise special, which came out hot and oozing with cheese. You. Can also get a version of this in spicy if you can handle it. Their coffee is mediocre but I doubt they would bark at you if you came in with your own cup of Joe from somewhere else like Pirate Coffee. Get lots of napkins for your sunrise sandwich, though; it's greasy in the best kind of "morning after drinking" way! read more

The sandwich was great ! We had the BLT which you can ask to be split to 2 to share. The bread choice was good and so was the inclusion of a fried egg and crispy bacon. The one big complain we had was the wait time - yes things are fresh and quality takes time but the food here takes extra long to prepare. The real problem was the attitude of the staff. Instead of being kind and apologetic the attitude was more brash and asking us to calm down instead. If you have all the time in the world to wait for a sandwich they really make a good one. read more

Traveling with a group of friends and needed to find food for both omnivores and a vegan and this little gem popped-up in my search. Turned out to be a very cute place with ocean themed decor throughout. Seating is fairly limited and the place can fill up fast during the morning rush. The staff were pleasant and helpful with any questions we had. I had the Sunrise Burrito, but made it vegan and added avocado; it was delicious, and very filling. My friends got the Captain's Biscuit and Gravy, Northwest Waffles, and fresh squeezed orange juice and all raved about the food. If I'm ever in the area again, I would go out of my way to eat here again. read more

The atmosphere was adorable and quaint, the spacing of the tables felt very comfortable! The little tables on the back porch overlooking the little harbor was very cool.
