About Us
Starting as a backyard pop up in 2020 in Seaside, California, Heatwaves has since grown to occupy Rudolfo’s Cafe every Sunday.
Heatwaves has also expanded its menu to include not only fried chicken, but also philly cheesesteaks, breakfast burritos, and pizza!


Rudolfo’s Cafe
Chef Rudolfo Ponce opened Heatwaves and Rudolfo’s Cafe in 2020. Heatwaves operates out of Rudolfo’s Cafe on Sundays to bring Southern fried chicken to Pacific Grove.
