What a find! Everything we ordered was delicious, but "Jeff's Clam Chowder" was the best New England clam chowder I have ever had, seriously. Worth a major detour to visit!

Great service and great food. Best breakfast we've had during our travels up and down the coast. The cottage fries were delicious and crispy. Everything was perfect. And the coffee is really good too!!

Best breakfast in Arcata. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing, also try their breakfast burritos. They have potatoes called GGP (garlic ginger potatoes) and you have to order them.

Super cute and (surprise) blue spot with decent food. Ordered Eggs Benedict which comes with home fries. The Benny was good, but the home fries were definitely frozen at some point and pretty lacking. Staff was super friendly and on their game. Will definitely come back and try something else.

This is the only restaurant at 10am we found with options friendly to my nephew’s food choices. Shannon sat us. Parker was a wonderful server toward my little buddy. Parker helped us know about the children’s menu options had all my nephews requests on one choice. The regular menu didn’t. Plus, Parker added even grownups can order items on the children’s if they like. He said the cafe likes to make things affordable for people so age is no barrier to choice or affordability 😁 The food is very good. Everything was made the way we asked.

It was busy and we still got seated very quick. Love the paintings and the service was phenomenal. The only thing I didn't like was the tofu sausage, but only because I didn't realize it would taste like actual sausage 😅 Update: I went back with a similar experience, only this time I tried the chicken apple sausage and WOW is it good 🥰

Dinner here late until 10 on a Saturday excellent! Was surprised to find this open and empty after being turned away at Mazzoti’s at 835 we arrived here thankful it was open and quiet. Wine was excellent as was the food. Spinach salad, breakfast sandwich, kid friendly hamburger, and amazing French dip. Fries and sweet potatoes fries were perfection! Always thought this was breakfast lunch only but it’s been open 9 months at night on weekends. Hot chocolate with whipped cream also excellent.

This place is very good for breakfast. Barker, my host, was very professional, and very courteous. I had an omelette loaded with lots of vegetables, and oatmeal. It was truly delicious. If I'm ever in town again, I will definitely go back.
