Hungry? Drop into the Bayside
Café at the marina in Morro
Bay. Relax over lunch while watch-
ing the sun reflecting on the water.
Looking for a casual, romantic loca-
tion for dinner? The Bayside Café is
the place.
Dawn Borst started Bayside
Café after recognizing the need
for a place to grab a quick meal
after coming in from a day on the
water. As the restaurant grew, she
remained dedicated to serving the
freshest food to every customer.
A favorite since it was opened in
1986, when Dawn started Bayside
Café as a walk-up. She created each
recipe herself, and the menu con-
tinues featuring her unique recipes
for every meal.
Recipes for the perfect bite
The extensive lunch, dinner,
and kids’ menus offer a variety of
options to please everyone, featur-
ing Dawn’s unique recipes. Each
recipe is crafted out of a love for the
perfect bite.
The lunch menu offers plenty
of delicious options. From seafood,
burgers, and pasta to Mexican
specialties, the whole family can
enjoy a variety of dishes, catering to
everyone's preferences.
The dinner menu at Bayside
Café is more romantic. Chicken
Marsala, tender slow-roasted tri-tip,
and blackened ahi are just a few of
the choices, and the entree list is a
perfect variety of both surf and turf.
The kids’ menu is tailored to
young appetites and comes with
fries!
Want to share a few appetizers
with your group? Try the shrimp
cocktail and calamari strips. Or
maybe you’d like a bowl of chowder,
which is a meal in itself.
“Everything looks so good,” is
a regular comment from Bayside
Dessert and a
kids’ menu, too!
Café patrons. Count on having a
hard time making up your mind
about what to eat, but you can save
a little time by checking out the
menus at baysidecafe.com.
Dessert heaven
Locals have long discovered that
a trip to Bayside is more than the
mouthwatering main courses – the
homemade desserts are must-
eats. Chocolate Oblivion and Tres
Leches Cake are just two of the
delights that leave diners wishing
for more.
Great beer, wine, and a selection
of other beverages top off the meal.
Perhaps the best part about
dining at Bayside Café is the feeling
that even if you are just visiting the
area, you are treated like a local.
Smiling employees, delicious food,
and a laid-back atmosphere are the
perfect combination.
Low-key and relaxed
The cozy café boasts seating
with perfect views of the bay. Sit in-
side and soak up the views through
the huge glass window, or bring
your dog and enjoy the heated
patio. Every seat offers memorable
views of the bay and marina. Soar-
