    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!

    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!

    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.

    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

    Vegan Strawberry Shortcake Waffle

    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.

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

    Wanted a quick bite to eat before heading home and were NOT disappointed! Soooo yummy and quick service. Loved all the gluten free options. What a find!! A must try. Will definitely be going back the next time we come into town.

    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.

    the french onion burger with sweet potato fries was deliciously huge. supreme pizza also tasty…read more salted caramel cheesecake amazing. smooth pilsner 10/10 will eat again

    I can't speak to the food because I never got far enough to order. The service, however, gave me…read moreplenty to say. I walked in and the place was busy, but nowhere near slammed. I'd estimate about 75% full. The guy seating people seemed frazzled. I asked for a window seat and was told nothing was available, even though I could see two or three open seats by the windows. To be fair, I don't know whether those were being held for reservations. He directed me to sit at one of the bars, so I chose upstairs for the water view. The bartender handed me a menu, then I didn't see him again for 10-15 minutes. From what I could see, the bar wasn't especially busy. I figured I'd try downstairs. Same result. This time, the bartender seemed more interested in chatting with the cooks and other people than taking my order. After another 10 minutes, I was done. Two bars, roughly 20-25 minutes, and I still hadn't managed to order food. I ended up a couple of doors down at Burger 101, a little hole-in-the-wall burger joint. The guy there was super friendly, the burger and fries were delicious, and it cost about half as much. I took my food to go and sat by the beach. Pretty great view there, too. I understand that restaurants get busy. I don't expect someone to drop everything the second I sit down, but a menu followed by a long stretch of being ignored isn't much of a welcome. The Horn's view was what drew me in. The service was what sent me elsewhere. I decided to give my money to a place that seemed happy to have my business. Plus based on reviews the food is way too expensive for the quality you get. I think most people go there for the view. However, if you're not lucky enough to get a window view, you might well go somewhere else.
