i’m not big on breakfast. i’ve never found eggs all that tasty and bacon, sausage, and other traditional morning foods are often overloaded with fat and unless they are prepared right, they are often difficult to stomach. but there are some places that do breakfast right and one of them is big skycaféin downtown san luis obispo, california.
i visited big skycaféas part of a beercation adventure and arriving here for breakfast, i wasn’t sure what to expect. would this place serve the usual, boring bacon and eggs with a slice of toast and jam? or would it serve something better that the typical breakfast food? well, a quick look at the menu confirmed what i had hoped was true: big skycaféserves more interesting food dishes, unlike those found at other restaurants.
for my morning meal, i ordered the pesto chicken sausage scramble with herbed potatoes and toast with a cup of coffee. the serving size was larger than expected and the taste? it was absolutely divine and unlike any breakfast food i had tasted in a long time. the seasoning, the ingredients used, and the freshness made for a most satisfying meal. big sky prides itself as a place that serves farmer’s market- based cuisine and this natural, unprocessed goodness is tasted in every bite.
big skycaféhas a pleasant interior, featuring wooden tables and chairs, breakfast bar, and a spanish theme that features artwork from local artists. the service is excellent and i noticed from looking through the menu that big skycaféis a good choice for vegetarians. oh, and it is not just a place for breakfast- they also serve lunch and early dinner. but they close at 8pm during the week and 9pm on weekends so don’t wait too late if you want to dine here.
breakfast is my least favorite meal of the day but big skycaféhas at least renewed my confidence in morning nutrition. tasty, fresh, natural ingredients, creative combinations, and cool atmosphere make this a restaurant deserving of a visit.
