Cute, quaint spot for a quick lunch. We stopped in after touring Hearst Castle, about a 15 mins drive south. Order at the counter. We got the turkey wrap and the grilled cheese with tomato soup, both were solid. The wrap was generous enough to split. The back patio has a relaxed, garden feel, and the restroom area was clean and well-kept. We didn't try the pies, but they looked yummy! read more

This is a small cafe that is separate from Linn's store and their sit-down restaurant. In addition to food, it has tons of trinkets and stuff to spend money on. There are limited pies, cookies, brownies and food items available for purchase. Sandwiches, soup, salads, chili.... If you go after lunch, be warned--they tend to run out of items quickly. The line is often out the door, and it doesn't move fast. But if you want a slice of pie or some delicious chili, it may be worth it to wait. The last time I went, I picked up some brownies, huckleberry licorice, and a cup of chili. All was delicious. I was a little frustrated by the length of time it took to get through the line, but the food was good. read more

Came here 2 separate times on our short stay in Cambria, and tried 2 different pies 1 savory and 1 sweet. The savory, pictured here- a beef pot pie, which is a seasonal item, was delicious and a good switch up from the normal chicken pot pie. For the sweet pie, we decided to skip their famous ollalaberry pie and opted for the banana cream pie. This pie was SOOOO good, and would highly recommend. read more

Cute café with great desserts! Service was friendly, very patient and sweet. The desserts were tasty, price is a bit high, but considering the novelty, they were worth it. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, not too sweet. Great option if you're passing through the area! read more

THE best place to get your full sized olallieberry pie to take home! Cute store with local goods, and cafe with inside & patio seating. Parking can be tight. Public restroom outside near the patio.

Linn's Easy As Pie was just as good as it was years ago. The outdoor garden is a peaceful place to sit and enjoy nature and a nice lunch. The salad I had was amazing; so much flavor. It was huge! I couldn't finish it all. Can't go wrong at Linn's Easy As Pie! read more

I got a piece of olallieberry pie. I liked it better than the chicken pot pie though it was a little disappointing. It didn't have much flavor in terms of the fruit. The crust was fine although the way it was served to me was pretty messy. See picture. read more

Linn's Cafe overall is just ok. The food is not bad at all, but it is not spectacular either. The service was, however, excellent. The man behind the counter on our visit was very friendly, helpful, and efficient. On a Tuesday around 4:30-5:30 they were pretty deserted for dinner and it was quiet. There is limited street parking.nearby, but be sure to read the posted signage as we saw someone getting towed. There is also limited indoor and a bit more outdoor seating. You order at the register like fast food and they give you a number and bring you your food, but you bus your own table when you are done. We got the chicken pot pie, the tomato basil bisque, and the pecan and old fashioned apple pies. The chicken pot pie was not the creamy filling kind, but rather the soupy vegetable kind. The crust seems the same as the pies. The filling was not bad at all, but honestly it tasted like Campbell's vegetable soup. We just prefer the creamy filling for chicken pot pies. The tomato basil bisquealso tasted like Campbell's, which was ok for us because we like that. However, it was more acidic than Campbell's which was hard on the stomach. Unlike Linn's restaurant and other restaurants in town, Lin's Cafe serves you pies by the slice, except for Dutch Apple and one other because they are not popular enough in this area to sell by the slice. We definitely recommend getting any pie à la mode because the pies are just not good enough plain to enjoy without ice cream. Over the course of our stay in town, we tried several of Linn''s pies and the pecan is the best. None of the others are bad, just other places make them better than Linn's. Linn's old fashioned apple pie is just ok, bur, for example, the apple pie in Julian, San Diego, CA, is much better than Linn's. This is a tourist area and like everywhere it is impacted by inflation and CA minimum wage laws. Consequently, the pricing, especially for drinks, makes the value very low for what you get. We definitely recommend trying this place and trying their pies, but it is not a stellar experience. On the whole, Linn's restaurant is better dining experience. 3-4 stars is about right, 3 for the food and 4 for the service. read more

Linn's Easy as Pie is a must try if you are in the Cambria area! Delicious food, great service, and a wonderful atmosphere. The wait time was about 45 min, but I will say it was worth the wait. The fish was perfectly battered and crispy. The crab melt was toasty and had great flavor. The coleslaw was different, but great! I enjoyed the bites of green apple and cranberry in there. I walked away with a full happy belly and ready to go back. They also have options to buy pies and have several shops in the back that sell more to go food items and have shops that sells home goods and more. read more

As a casual offshoot of the sit-down restaurant 'Linn's' next door, Linn's Easy As Pie Cafe provides counter service with a focus on their pies (both savory and sweet), but also providing a small selection of soups, salads, sandwiches. Our group of three stopped in between breakfast and lunch time on a weekday, and had an enjoyable meal. Located in the small village of Cambria, Linn's Cafe is one of many food ventures in the area founded and operated by the Linn family. The cafe started as an emergency replacement for their restaurant, when it was heavily damaged by fire in 2006. After the restaurant was moved back after remodeling, the replacement was kept going as a less formal cafe selling their very popular pies, including their savory chicken pot pie. It wasn't too busy when we stopped in. The menu is displayed on chalkboard, and a daily special board (sandwich, quiche, soup) on a post. We made our choice, ordering food and drink from the counter, paying for it using Toast POS, and found seating in the back. Cell service was spotty in Cambria, so the free wi-fi in the cafe was welcomed and used. The food was delivered tableside directly from the kitchen in about 10 minutes. Linn's Famous Chicken Pot Pie with mashed potato ($17) - the menu picture didn't really match what was given, and the real version was more deconstructed: It had a flakey pie crust on top, with the chicken and vegetable filling loosely below. It makes sense to serve it this way for more quickness but still maintaining that freshness of not maintaining it under a heat lamp. The filling had large chunks of chicken, and well cooked vegetables in a thinner but flavorful broth. It was good, and the accompanying whipped potatoes and gravy was a great addition. It ended up being one of my mother-in-laws favorite dishes on our trip. Grilled Cheese with cup of Tomato Bisque ($13) - a very good rendition of grilled cheddar cheese. The bread was sturdy and well toasted with butter butter under a panini press, and the cheese was good quality and quantity. It was absolutely delicious dipped in the good tomato soup. Of course, there is always a lot of soup left long after the sandwich is gone: I ate the rest of the soup gladly, which isn't always the case. Soda was self serve and $2 a can. In keeping with the theme, everything was disposable so we self-bussed. Before we left, I checked out the back patio dining area. It had plenty of shade and room, and would have been a good place to have a meal as well. It's also a good place to stop when passing through for a snack break, or just peruse souvenirs from Cambria. read more

Not-so-hidden gem just off the Cambria strip. This cafe is behind the full service restaurant and up the alleyway. They serve salads, sandwiches, soups, and POT PIES!!! We had the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and gravy and I cannot recommend highly enough. So yummy! They have indoor seating as well as plenty of outside seating patio area. You can also buy fresh baked whole pies and slices to-go. If you want casual and delicious then this spot is perfect. read more

Super cute little cafe. We stopped in for one reason - Pie. I was so set on trying their Olalliberry pie, but once I saw their extensive pie menu, I couldn't decide among the Rasperry Rhubarb, Peach Blueberry, or our original choice - Olalliberry. What exactly is an Olalliberry?! I'm saddened to say we didn't stick to our original choice. When asked, the nice gentleman behind the counter said his favorite was the raspberry rhubarb because it's a bit tart - SOLD! We paired our pie with a mocha and sat at one of their patio tables. You guys this place is super charming! If you're looking for a place to stop in for a nice little treat between shopping, this is it! read more

Oh, my gosh! The Olallieberry pie is so delicious! Why have I not tried it before?! My first bite reminded me of a Razzleberry pie from Marie Callender's. Just the right amount of sweetness.

This is a review for take out. Picked up a Olallieberry Pie to take home. If you never had one you need to. Not very sweet pie with a nice tartness to it. The pie crust is light and crisp. Olalliberry isn't commonly available except in the central coast of California and in Oregon where it was created. Well worth the cost. read more

Thought the berry pie was a little tart for my taste but the vanilla ice cream brand unknown was to die for.

For a quick alternative to their main restaurant on the main drag, opt for this sweet little outlet. Great comfort food - chicken pot pie, salads, delicious soups and of course pastries & ther famous pie. Seating in a charming patio is a bonus. read more

My grandma, husband, and I are in town on vacation and decided to give this spot a try. We're so glad we did! My husband and I ordered the Chicken Pot Pie w/ Mashed Potatoes & Gravy while my grandma tried their Veggie Quiche. For our drinks; I had an elderberry lemonade, my husband had a mocha coffee, and my grandma had a berry iced tea. Our food was fresh and delicious, and everyone enjoyed their meal. The staff was very kind and helpful and had our food served quickly. The cafe itself had a cozy atmosphere with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It smelled wonderful! There were also areas in the cafe where you could buy freshly baked pies, jams, butters, dressings, and other goods. Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. We're definitely looking forward to coming back the next time we're in town! :) read more

Sandwiches were good... but for some reason could've been a little more flavorful. The broccoli salad that came on the side was great, but very small. Ordered two to share and one came out wrong. They quickly corrected it. We tried the meatloaf sandwich and the special of the day, Cubano. Ordered two at register and they bring it out to you. Little patio area with beautiful flowers and a fountain that's cute. read more

Linn's is a well-known restaurant on Main Street in Cambria where the pies steal the show in all three stores: the restaurant being the biggest one. Service is friendly. Breakfast is pretty straightforward served. Nothing particularly special, but it's all good. There's not an awful lot of choice for breakfast in Cambria so this place is popular and-I guess- a real Cambria icon in town. The pies deserve 4 stars, the staff gets 4 whereas I'm giving the breakfast 3.5. read more

This spot is off Main Street on Bridge st. It is not as busy as all of the other places in town including the Linn's Restaurant. You walk up to order and they bring it to your table super fast. If you have pets there is an amazing space outside to eat with your pets. The garden and fountain is so relaxing. Everything on the menu is great. Don't forget to have a little pie! After you are done you have to check out all the gourmet food items to purchase that you can take to your friends. read more

My friend and I were visiting Cambria and we were hungry, lol.. I searched local favorites on Yelp and this place appeared! We arrived at the bistro and we were told dinner hours began at 5. It was 4:30...The staff suggested we walk up the hill to the cafe. Up the hill we went! I ordered the chicken berry salad (seasonal) $16.00 with a slice of Raspberry Rhubarb pie $7.00. They give you a number and you seat yourself outside under a table with an umbrella. I loved their cute outdoor area with plants and water fountains. It was so relaxing! My salad was so delicious! It had strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, romaine lettuce, seasoned chicken, feta cheese, and a berry vinaigrette of some sort. The raspberry pie was delicious too! I loved that the inside of the cafe had things to buy. This cafe was ADORABLE! read more

We came here for a light lunch. I ordered the chicken pot pie, my niece ordered beans and my sister ordered the quiche. I also had the chocolate cream pie that was DELICIOUS! My chicken pot pie was horrible! I showed the person who took our order and who I paid that it looked like tofu! She was not very friendly and just kept saying it was chicken. I can't believe the squishy substance was chicken. She just said, "I don't know what to tell you, it's chicken!" I went to another store to buy some licorice. This clerk was very nice and asked me how was my visit. I told her I didn't like my food and I actually threw it away. I showed her my picture of my pot pie. She asked if she could take a picture of my picture so she could show the owner. She agreed that it didn't look like chicken. The desserts were very good but I would never again spend $16 on a pot pie that I had to throw away. read more

We stopped here to visit with a friend who works in the Linn's complex. She was having her lunch in the cafe outside dining area. Her quiche and salad looked appetizing. On her recommendation, we decided to have a late lunch. I ordered the meatloaf and mashed potatoes with gravy. My wife ordered the half sandwich and soup. She chose the tuna Waldorf and tomato bisque. I tasted both and they were yummy. My meal was ample and satisfying. We ordered a dessert and other sweets for later. All in all, this is a quiet place in a shady patio under trees where you can have a nice meal. They also have an indoor dining area but outside is better. I'm sure that we will be back. read more

We stopped by Linn's just for dessert, and the olallieberry pie was amazing, seriously changed the way I think about pie. It wasn't overly too sweet and was packed with flavor. Unfortunately, we had already eaten lunch, so we didn't get to try any of the food, but everything in the store looked delicious. Definitely coming back hungry next time! The staff were friendly, and the place had such a cozy, welcoming vibe. They also have a small market where you can grab some of that incredible olallieberry jam to take home. read more

My family decided to come here after seeing the billboard advertisement of its pie along the freeway. It's nestled in the heart of Cambria and comes with its own parking lot. We arrived around 4 on a Saturday afternoon, but there was already a long line. This is clearly a popular spot! We ordered the house special sandwich of the day, soup of the day, grilled cheese and tomato bisque, the BLTA, and a slice of their famous olallieberry pie to share. The food was simple, but very tasty and fresh! You bus your own pie tins after. The interior gives off old timey vibes and there's also a cute outdoor patio. I loved the assortment of farm products they have for sale, such as their olallieberry pie spread and olallieberry hot cocoa mix. Overall, this is a solid spot for food in Cambria and I'd definitely come back for a quick bite or to get their farm products to take home! read more

Thank you to TikTok I was recommended this place by a video! She specifically told me to come here if I loved coffee and she didn't not disappoint. First of all the service was great, Haide (Haidee I'm sorry if I'm spelling your name wrong) needs a raise because let me tell you she never told me no for anything and tried to accommodate whatever I asked. They were busy and still acknowledged me. I ordered some soup to-go and an iced coffee. They have a small board with coffee options but nothing like corporations like Starbs or DB. Everything in Cambria is locally owned and we love that! All small business owners!! I asked for an iced coffee. They made it exactly how I wanted it and it was nice and strong with extra shots, just what I needed for the long ride home. My husband wanted hot sauce for his soup and Haide quickly thought of a way to put some chalupa in a Togo container for me, added extra napkins, extra utensils . She also gave me great advice on what to get next and her recommendations based on her likings and customers. I kept ordering more things because of how great she was. Overall the vibe is really nice here and would like to return again soon! read more
