    Weekend special: Burria breakfast burrito
    Kim T.

    We absolutely love this place!! This weekend's specials were OFF the charts: birria burrito and butterscotch apple scone! The team here is 100% hard workers, creative beyond compare, and always so kind. The fact that it's perched over the Depoe Bay Harbor is a fantastic bonus! Thank you, WBC!

    Breakfast burrito on steroids

    Great service! Atmosphere is awesome & great food! Ordered the breakfast burrito, this is a monster loaded with tots & sausage, and eggs with avocado and jalapeños!! Burrito on steroids is the new name for this!! Definitely coming back!! Take my money! Great view & service!!

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely delicious vegan gf breakfast sandwich. Spending some solo time and what can I say about how heavenly this was after a long relaxing morning spent by the beach reflecting on life. Yummy treat!

    Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich
    Mel L.

    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!

    Serve your own Left Coast Coffee (OG is my favorite).

    BLT is juicy and amazing combo of textures and tastes. Thick crispy bacon layered with beefsteak tomato and chipotle mayo and arugula and fried egg and between toasted bread of deliciousness. Yum.

    Finally got to visit this spot. Excellent space and views, great people working, and very delicious food. It's expensive but everything is now. Looking forward to going back again.

    Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Waffle
    Jasmine G.

    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!

    You can see some of the picked peppers but, there was probably 2 tablespoons inside. (Overpowering)

    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.

    On of my most favorite breakfast spot on Oregon. Super affordable and incredibly delicious. Guy at the front is always been nice the few times out of the year I stop in One burrito is enough to share between two adults. If you don't have company, consider yourself lucky now that you have another meal/snack 4 later Super cozy, good music and practical hooks for coats / purses

    What a great hidden gem. Great views, friendly service, and fresh organic eats. Such a cute place right on the bay.

I could have picked any other item on their menu and been perfectly happy, because it truly seems like The Red Roof does everything well. This dish came packed with turkey sausage, egg, potatoes, avocado and hashbrowns. Filling, hardy, and delicious. To make the experience even better, I ordered a number of baked goodies and a latte to go. These pastry items funded my happiness all afternoon. From lemon bars to blueberry scones, my excitement continued as I got to sample additional items from their delicious menu. I couldn't imagine passing Lincoln City, Oregon without returning to this local gem.

Kitchen is in the back of the restaurant, but there is heat radiated throughout the small restaurant. And loud noise of fans. The service was quick and polite. The food was delicious. The restaurant kept busy with people sitting at the tables outside as the lunch tables inside were filled. This is a small and cute place to have lunch. The wait staff was kind. We left our jackets in the restaurant and the waitress came out and found us still sitting in our car and gave us our jackets. Thank you to the staff for going above and beyond. I would give this adorable café five stars.

The salmon cream cheese was packed full of salmon. The drinks were also exceptional. The vanilla chai latte was flavorful, but not too sweet. It was easy to tell that the chai was homemade. The Mayan mocha was possibly one of the best specialty coffees I have ever had. The chocolate was accented with a bit of cinnamon which rounded out the South American flavors of the drink. It was a warm day so I went for an iced coffee, however I think it could have been even better warm.
