Vivek NairAugust 11, 2018Very friendly service. Outdoor seating for our dog. Breakfast burritos were perfect pre-hike fuel. Blueberry crumb cake was also a good snack. Quick service. Small parking lot. Lots of street parking.
Sadeana CravenJuly 30, 2014I have had Clam Chowder from Washington, Oregon and California Coast Beaches and this is by far the Best Clam Chowder I have ever eaten!!! It's worth the wait in line to get a bowl.
Tyler JohnsonJuly 25, 2015The food here is everything you expect from Splash Cafe minus the long wait times like the original location in Pismo Beach. This location is preferable as a perfect pit-stop on the way to Pismo.
Lusi GhazaryanJuly 19, 2019Actually it’s true. The best Clam Chowder I had. Tasty, Affordable and good service. I like the Monterey location more, it has a nice patio seating, is calm and doesn’t have long lines as in Pismo.
Michelle Arnaiz-Dela RosaOctober 22, 2014I highly recommend the clam chowder! It is so good!! Place gets quite packed so be ready to wait or go early.
MonicaFebruary 28, 20186$ Taco Tuesday: 4 tacos (cod, carnitas, or chili verde) plus free Tecate or soda. Choices come in pairs: max 2 types of tacos
Ryan GarciaAugust 4, 2014Literally everything is well priced and great quality. Wether you're looking for coffee, pastries or full meals. Looooved the Mexican chocolate latte!
Zoe SullivanAugust 15, 2012Excellent sandwiches, pastries and coffee. They stop serving breakfast stuff at 11, but they can still make French toast and oatmeal if you're looking for a late breakfast.
Marcela Diaz FAugust 4, 2016One of the top 3 clam chowders I've had in my life. And the place is super cute!
Grant ShellenFebruary 8, 2012While not the original Pismo Beach Splash, this second location within the SLO city limits serves up the same delicious clam chowder in a bread bowl with a much shorter line (usually).
Diana WilsonMarch 31, 2013Try the Hummingbird Cupcake - Good tasting banana walnut cake with vanilla buttercream topped with a dried pineapple and coconut flakes.
- Faith MalcolmAugust 9, 2015The best clam chowder I've had in years. I had it with sea food on top. I highly recommend it.
Rosalyn LeeJuly 18, 2013Clam chowder, bread bowl on the side! Freakin delish!! Easier to find parking at this location! & There's a parking lot :)
Dominic MartinicoDecember 3, 2014Still the central coast's well known legendary clam chowder joint. Only improved on from the original Pismo location!- Mike SolimanJune 28, 2013Instead of a sourdough bread bowl, grab a regular bowl of clam chowder w/seafood topping and a sliced & toasted sourdough loaf. More dipping fun for everyone.
- courtney julepDecember 22, 2014Delicious egg on croissant with tomato and tasty remoulade. Add Swiss if your awesome.
There are now a few gluten free options for their pastries and bread. It is baked on Tuesdays.
Joel JamesFebruary 18, 2013Find a seat BEFORE you order... The best chowder in California but the seating space is absolutely HORRIBLE~!!!
Anna JamesJune 22, 2015Clam chowder in bread bowl is good, especially the sourdough bread. Prawn tacos are ok, skip it.
- Mike SolimanJuly 27, 2013The croissant breakfast sandwich is great. Add tater tots for grade school nostalgia.
manas gowdJanuary 11, 2011try the half special with the sandwich of the day with the side of chowder
slonewsDecember 31, 2011est. 1989 - Splash Cafe's "World Famous" clam-chowder is also available at Costco.
