    Came by here the other day while in the area and grabbed a cinnamon roll with Pecans and an Olallieberry cream muffin! I remember when their muffins were huge back in the day...service was great!

    Three of us stopped here for dessert on March 8th, 2026, our way up the coast...fantastic! If we hadn't had big food planned up north, we would've eaten lunch there!

    Beautiful building.... Does not fit the rest of the towns motif and it kind of stands out, however still has the old town charm. The inside felt really crammed... the second we walked in we were overloaded with merchandise! It was overwhelming.... Store front , bakery .....restaurant....tremendous amount of bicycles all over ..... too much over stimulation.....after we ate and were about to leave the entrance was overcrowded and blocked off so we had to maneuver through the merchandise packed area to go out the back and walk back to the front of the building. We had a disabled person with us and that was very awkward! The servers were friendly ... however it seemed that the substitute had an up charge as we were told when we ordered our food. The food was alright .... I heard a lot of "oh it's so good .... It's amazing " but it left little to minimum taste excitement for me. The Eggs Benedict was running for some on our table and overcooked for others .... The sauce seemed too coagulated . The flies.... More shooing flies than eating! Can't say it was "oh so good " for me , but I'm sure it's a hit with the locals .

    A couple years ago, my hubby and I came here for the olallieberry pie à la mode. It left such an impression that we had to come back. This time, we had the raspberry rhubarb pie à la mode and it did not disappoint. The crust could have been better but is was still overall, yummy! The ice cream they use is so creamy. I definitely still plan on coming back.

    I had my birthday lunch here and had both savory and sweet pies. The chicken pot pie was decadent and hot. The pie à la mode was just the right amount of sweet and the crust for everything was perfection. My only complaint is the price is a bit steep.

    Went into cambria for lunch which is a nice small beach town in the central coast. This restaurants exterior is gorgeous. Such a beautiful building. Inside, there is a small store where you can buy books, crafts, wine, and pies. The pies here are amazing by the way. Even better? The lobster sandwich that I ate for lunch. I didn't have much expectations for lunch. Usually when I'm in the central coast, it's a constant dose of tri tip. This sandwich was an instant surprise. Perfect amount of lobster. Comparable to getting a good lobster sandwich in Boston or Maine. Service here was top notch too.

    Last time we stayed in Cambria, we ate several meals at Linn's (both locations). Great breakfasts and lunches. We definitely return for this trip, although we were staying in Paso Robles so we planned a lunch here on the way back from Hearst Castle. Excellent service and very friendly staff. We were fortunately there were only a few parties ahead of us and the wait was very short. After we were seated, the line really started. If there is a wait, fun to cruise the country store for preserves, candies, or even the bakery to take home goodies. They carry Paso Almonds (its a brittle and basically like CRACK, so good) and of course we picked up a few bags! For food, l ordered the Country Fried Chicken Breast Sandwich. The chicken was a bit bland but the side Olallieberry slaw was amazing! My husband ordered the Cup of Soup N Salad, Clam Chowder with Caesar salad, both were excellent. We had planned on a slice of pie for dessert (we took one home from the bakery), but far to full, very generous portions, especially for the price point! There is so much to offer on the menu and we were also able to order breakfast if we preferred. Our server was Ivan and he was very helpful and attentive. Definitely one of our favorite places in the area, Bookmarked forever!

    Mediocre breakfast with big portions & prices that reflect it! I got the Linn's Bin Special, which features a huge pile of bland hash browns topped with even more bland over easy eggs and bell peppers, along with really greasy cheese and ham. The dish was just not very cohesive nor tasty. We also tried their famous olallieberry pie and muffin. I don't like tart fruits and the filling was extremely tart! Filling to crust ratio on the pie was also so off. The muffin was a little better. Service was great. Promptly seated and attended to by multiple staff. Great cozy place with lots of wood furniture and fixing. Overall, just not really worth the hype on the food.

    My boyfriend and I came here for dinner while passing through town. This place is extremely popular, with a beautiful gift shop and delicious dessert case. For my meal I ordered the chicken pot pie. It was good! Very savory and salty. We also got Olallieberry pie. We also enjoyed learning about the Linn Family's story and how they came to operate their business.

    It's an ok place that we go mainly for nostalgia. It's more of a comfort food type of place. However, the ribeye is pretty good. They do that well here. We ordered a wine off their menu which was ok - it really needed a decanter. I saw that they do do corkage at $10 which we'll do next time.

    Ollalaberry muffin
    Rebecca S.

    We can't get enough Ollalaberry! I remember coming here with my parents and g-pa when I was about 10 yrs old and I remember my g-pa buying all things Ollalaberry. Now my husband and I stopped on our roadtrip up the coast and I understand the hype! As a cyclist, the bicycle decor was an added bonus. We had breakfast there and the food and service were great! No complaints, but the little shop in the back with all their homemade syrups and jams and mini pies is dangerous, of course I had to get some Ollalaberry jam for my parents and g-pa, and a couple mini pies for the road! The quality of all their products is outstanding and I'm so glad we got to stop by!

    Linn's is one of 3-4 businesses owned by the same family/company. They are known for their pies, which are sold at some of the other restaurants/businesses in town. At around 8:00-8:30 for breakfast on a Tuesday they were pretty deserted and not all of the staff had seemed to have come in yet. The interior is historic as is the outside of the building and is a nice atmosphere. The hostess and wait staff did a decent job. The hostess was friendlier than the wait staff. They have a fairly extensive menu for both breakfast and lunch. We came for breakfast because we wanted to try their quiche. The have 3-4 kinds of breakfast quiche and some other kinds for lunch/dinner. We got the ham, mushroom, spinach, and cheese quiche. There a generally two kinds off quiche: light/fluffy and dense. We prefer the dense kind, however, their fluffy quiche was good, much better than store bought such as Costco dense quiche. The crust was just ok and very similar to their pie crusts. The side of fruit was incredibly small in a little plastic cup with 5 pieces of fruit, including 2 grapes, 1 watermelon piece, 1 pineapple piece, and one cantaloupe piece. The fruit quality was at least good. Coffee was $4.50 for a refillable cup, which is outrageous, but the going rate at comparable restaurants all over CA. Overall, this was a nice dining experience and worth trying for lunch or dinner. They also have 2 codes shops more known for their pies and a store where you can get pies to bake at home throughout Cambria. We would eat here again and if you are in town, recommend you give them a try among the other local breakfast places.

    Do they serve barbecue ribs?

    Did not see any BBQ ribs when I was there in September. They do have a rack of lamb though.

    Do they take reservations?

    No they don't

    What side dish would you recommend?

    The side of vegetables and the mashed potatoes that came with the chicken pot pie were so good, they stole the show from the entree!

    Do yhey have a full bar?

    no, "full Bar"

    Does Linn's take reservations? Edited to add: I called Linn's to make reservations for our party of 4 and was told they only take reservations for partys of 5 or more but they would see what they could do. We were given a reservation. Worth a call.

    Yes

    How late is breakfast served?

    12:00 PM

    Is it a dog friendly restaurant? Is dog allow for outdoor dining?

    Service dog friendly..I do believe the cafe to the rear of the property is dog friendly with outdoor tables (still part of Linns)

    Will you be open on Thanksgiving? If so, hours and same menu & service as always?

    This is a central California chain, with a few sister locations nearby, and another one in Fresno…read more(Doghouse Grill-right across the street from CSU Fresno). I have frequented both the Cambria and Fresno locations, partially due to the consistently decent service and mostly due to the quality and quick food. It doesn't matter if you show up right when they open, or if you arrive when there's a line out the door waiting to place orders, service is always much quicker than you'd expect. Food is decent--whether you get a salad (note-the side or small salad is huge--it fills a full to-go container), fish and chips, a sandwich or burger. Substitutions are usually not an issue, and ranch/bbq sauces are available at no extra charge. I'm generally impressed with how absolutely fresh the lettuce and veggies are for the salads. I really have grown used to spending $10 or more for a much smaller salad at other locations and have grown accustomed to picking out wilted/rotted veggies and lettuce. Not here-everything is cold, crisp and fresh. Meat is seasoned well-- and the fries are plentiful. There is usually plenty of seating, whether inside or on the patio. Parking can be rough along Main Street, but if you're patient, you can usually find something fairly close. It does help that the grill is towards the end of the street. Rest rooms are limited and often running low on supplies. It can be quite a wait during busy times. In all, this is a great place for quick and decent food. It is consistently enjoyable for the whole family. We'll definitely be back whenever we visit.

They do a very good job of that, and I don't mind there being a lack of entertaining decor while I wait for my burger or salad. The Large Asian Salad is my primary source of roughage these days, and it's a good deal. It is truly large, and full of chicken; it is a meal in one bowl. When I order a burger, I've taken to specifying well done, as I have occasionally (but rarely) received one slightly under-cooked. I must emphasize what a good deal the salads are. A couple of other restaurants in town have good food, but a side salad which is embarrassingly tiny. Also, the cashiers maintain a high degree of cheerfulness, even when the line to order is all the way to the front door. I've spent decades in retail, and can testify that keeping up perpetual friendliness can wear on a person, and that not everybody can do it.

When the food we ordered arrived at our table it looked delicious, a big juicy cheese burger with red onions, pickles and cheese with fig sauce and goat cheese, and a very large order of fries. The fries were way overcooked and tasteless. The burger had no seasoning, I took a bite and it was tasteless. We ate a few fries, my husband was hungry and he ate his burger. He loves fries, so it was interesting to see him not eat his fries. I do not recommend eating at this restaurant, we will not be back. Breakfast was included with our stay, we decided to checkout 2 days early and go out for breakfast after our experience with dinner. I do not recommend eating here.

I've done some comparison shopping in recent weeks, and the cafe wins every time. One place in town prepares "country potatoes" as large cubes of potato with no seasoning. Cambria Cafe cooks prepare them as small cubes, seasoned and fried exactly as I like (I can't define the spice combination, but I like it). My scrambled eggs are never dry or runny, and hash browns invariably have just the right crisp texture. They also serve really good coffee, something which most restaurants can't seem to manage. This morning I tried their chicken-fried steak for the first time, and it was as good as my wife's, which is saying something. The ambiance is what I'd expect from a small local cafe, comfortable, but not extraordinary. I'll continue to patronize "my" cafe as long as they'll have me.
