Big Sur Bakery
A popular bakery and restaurant along Highway 1, serving pastries and bread by day, and reservation-only dinners on weekends.
Located at 47540 Highway 1, this spot specializes in house-made bread and pastries, including gluten-free options, making it a popular stop for breakfast and lunch along the drive. Following a fire in 2024, the operating hours were adjusted: the bakery counter is open from Wednesday to Monday starting at 8:00; lunch is served Wednesday to Sunday; dinner is only available on Friday and Saturday and requires a reservation. The menu changes frequently, and past dinners have featured grass-fed short ribs and gnocchi. The official website still lists two different schedules, so calling to confirm before you go is recommended. It is about a 1-hour drive south from Monterey along Highway 1.
Opening hours
Bakery counter Wednesday to Monday from 8:00, closed Tuesday; Lunch Wednesday to Sunday 12:00-14:30; Dinner Friday and Saturday 17:00-19:00 (reservation required)
