Carla's Country Kitchen And Gift Shop

Good breakfast, large servings and friendly attentive service. I would dine here again.

This gem is central to every visit to Morro Bay. Great food, friendly staff, clean, affordable and adorable. Start each day with a meal here and you'll have a great experience.

Terrible service...long wait after ordering beside the waiting for a table. Never brought water for my husband but coffee that he didn't order, both hash browns burnt, charged gravy twice, seafood scramble suppose to be crab only and no shrimp and they skip the crab completely. Never going back again!

Response from the owner
Nelly...Not much we can do about the wait. If we have a full restaurant there is a long wait and we are short servers so still a wait after your seated.. Not sure if you communicated with your server ...

The wait was not the worst but the burnt hash browns and no crab at all in my order and the overcharged... See pictures. I didn't want to wait for another hour for breakfast to be corrected.

We stopped by for a 7am breakfast while driving through Morro Bay. It was mostly locals at this hour and not too busy. We didn't have issues with service and the coffee flowed generously.

It's what you would expect of a diner service - no nonsense and to the point. The food was solid, everything was good and much more generous in portion than we were expecting. I had the french toast and the husband had an omelet. We were both stuffed. Their biscuit was amazing, I wish there was a recipe! There's a range of basic toast, eggs and breakfast meat, to fancier pancakes or omelet options.

No cons for us, other than it isn't local. Pros include great food, huge portions, good service. If we're ever in Morro Bay again, we'd visit again, for early breakfast.

Carla’s was busy in the morning but were ready for it. Has plenty of seating indoors and out. The staff were quick to get us seated and our waitress met us in a fast manner. She took our order and within 10 minutes our food was out even though the restaurant was busy.
I was quite impressed with how smooth it went. Definitely would eat here again when visiting.

While the shiny clean appearance looks like a pharmacy, the food is deluxe in flavor and value packed. The scrambles are packed, the eggs in both the scramble & omelette are cooked to perfection. My only neg comment would apply to the potatoes- cooked fairly crisp but without seasoning, maybe a consensus to do this so people could season themselves? Not my style- but I ate them anyways! Looking forward to breakfast #4 in April!

So good! We had the French toast , the "Poonie" scramble (bacon, spinach, 3 cheeses), hash browns, & blueberry muffins. Going back in the am. 😃

Decent breakfast spot with free coffee refills. I'd say it's good for the price and location.

Clean! Excellent friendly attentive service. The biscuit was to die for, you can order it as a side to any egg plate and I highly recommend it. All the food was tasty. The veggies in the veggie scramble were super fresh.

Had breakfast here. Right next to the ocean and overlooking the Rock here at Morro Bay.
I got the beef dip, and the two kids got turkey sandwich and egg salad sandwich 🥪
I liked the egg salad, good balance of egg and mayo, this combo can often be done in ways that don't mix. The turkey for the sandwich was fresh and tasted good.
Like the way they seasoned the beef for the dip as well. Believe they also used a Lawry's based seasoning for the fries 🍟. Cnst go wrong there.
The staff was friendly and quick. Do feel as if they were understaffed but the staff was still very receptive and kind.
A gift shop is part of the restaurant as well. Mostly nick nacks for the home if that is your thing.
Would definitely come here again. No photos of the food unfortunately. Kid management made that difficult...
