Friendly Vibes, Great Food -- Hoping for More Organic Choices Cafe Nooner is a warm and welcoming spot in Old Town Eureka with a creative menu and hometown charm. I had the vegan breakfast burrito with avocado (no cheese), and it was flavorful, satisfying, and clearly made with care. My latte with an extra shot was smooth and well-balanced -- a perfect start to the day. The service was friendly and made me feel right at home. While everything was fresh and delicious, I'd love to see more organic options on the menu in the future. Still, a great experience and definitely worth the stop! read more

We really liked this place until one day we went back to eat breakfast and my husband's omelette had not one hair, but two different hairs in it plus his biscuits and gravy came with a beard hair on the plate in his gravy. We showed the server and she apologized and offered to remake us the food, but we had lost our appetite- they did give us our money back, but we definitely won't be back here and have some concerns regarding the cleanliness of the place. The cook in the back has a large beard that is not in a net, and it clearly gets in the food. Don't recommend. read more

I've been coming here for breakfast and it's been great every single time. The food is always flavorful, and the portion sizes are definitely worth it. It's not easy to find a place that's this consistent, but they really deliver. Highly recommend if you're looking for good food, great portions, and excellent service. read more

We LOVE Cafe Nooner, but... Picked up takeaway pork sandwiches with fries. Sandwiches were delicious, but the fries were NOT! We are good customers, buying over 10 gift certificates for others annually, and we order takeaway several times a month. The last breakfasts came with blackened potatoes also. We will give them our business in the future, the restaurant is convenient, service is excellent, everything is clean and usually the food is very good. read more

I was very shocked when I came into Café Noah today and waited several minutes and wondered if anybody was working the counter. I started to go to the back to find somebody which is not OK when you're walking into a restaurant. And she had been standing in the front and just didn't see me And I just found it odd that she told me that I should walk around and present myself so they know I'm there. I am 52 years old. I have never once had to present myself into a restaurant so they know that I am there most people want business and will greet you almost at the door. I don't know if I will be returning to Café Nooner for the food if the service is complicated read more

Really great service. Huge, clean, open dining room that filled up fast late on a Sunday morning. Loved the variety of the menu - eggs Benedict, breakfast potatoes, giant entree salads, chicken skewers, you name it! read more

This is one of the few places that opened before 10am on Sunday and was closest to our Airbnb. The door was opened promptly at 8:30 and we were enjoying our breakfast by 8:46. Yay! I had the breakfast burrito and hubby had his usual 2 eggs (scrambled) bacon cooked crisp, hash browns and as a twist, the flat bread. Everything was fresh, cooked to perfection and tasty. Your order at the counter then they bring it to you. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is bright yet cozy. The menu is a bit limited - so I held back a star. read more

Great spot for vegan eats, lots of substitution options, super cute spot and really lovely staff - Bread pudding is bomb, mimosas are yummy! read more

A group of pals and I started a standard Saturday morning meeting at this location, and it's such a hit with everyone. You order before sitting, which offers convenience when you're meeting with a group (no splitting of the check). They make delicious espresso drinks, the everything potatoes are very delicious, and wait staff is very kind. The ambiance is sweet and homey with lots of vibrant plants. They have a case of baked goods behind the counter, so whether you want a sit down meal or to grab and go, this is an ideal spot for delicious eats! read more

Had the falafel flatbread and an iced americano! It was delicious. Staff were all lovely and the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. I highly recommend. read more

Delicious diner and Mediterranean food with lots of vegan/vegetarian options. I love how all the burgers have the option to swap for tempeh on a rosemary focaccia bread - yum! I will have to try one of the burgers next time. We ordered the French toast combo and meze platter. I really liked the sauces on the meze platter, flavorful with grilled pita bread included. It was very garlicky so be warned! Overall a clean atmosphere and lots of homemade juice choices that they make in house. read more

I ordered the California omelette which was pretty good, however the pineapple in the fruit bowl was moldy. I'd give 2 stars for service because you have to order at the counter. Ambiance a one star. Drab, boring, like the owner has no pride in the place. read more

The owners of this restaurant truly care about serving excellent food. The restaurant is comfortable and the staff are friendly. I enjoy good vibes and energy and every time we have been to eat here there are good vibes. We are a family of three. Our daughter is nine years so we often share meals. We ordered one Chicken Flatbread, Tri tip flatbread, and small sea salt fries. We cut them in thirds and shared the fries and it was very filling. The meat was tender and they don't skimp on how much you get. The tzatziki sauce and hummus are soooooo good! I could order a gallon of it and bring it home. If you want fresh ingredients this is the place to go, Great Job Cafe Nooner! read more

I've eaten at Cafe Nooner several times over the last year or so. I just keep forgetting to review them. The food is always consistently good. Today we had the classic eggs Benedict with country potatoes. We shared it with an extra plate. It came out hot and fresh with the egg cooked perfectly. I should have taken a picture of the golden ooze but I was too hungry! The service is always friendly. Occasionally they get a little backed up with a line. You order at the counter so refills a can be challenging when there is a line. That is actually the only thing I don't like about the place. Otherwise, it's clean and has a homey vibe, what's not to like. For a local business, I give them the . read more

Tried a tasty mimosa flight and a really well cooked California Omelet recently, had great service with friendly smiles and conversation. This place can definitely get busy but is pretty quick with turnover and has outdoor tables on the sidewalk for a nice day. Took an order of bread pudding home with me for later and thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was so good I know I will crave it in the future. Went again and tried the biscuits and gravy and that's the WINNER, yall. Best biscuits and gravy I have had in some time. The andouille sausage is delicious and smoky and the gravy is peppered nicely. Next time I will be trying one of their amazing looking sandwiches, as my dining partner had a mushroom and tri-tip with chèvre po'boy that looked super tasty. Will be back! read more

tried it again today, and still gonna be a hell no. gravy on biscuits was thick as hell and had a weird taste...way too thick. the biscuits were good though. the classic Bennie, again, a nah. the hollandaise sauce ruined the bennies for us. sausage patty tasted like it was made early in the morning and just sat in a platter until it was needed. not gonna waste time or money going back again. the waitresses were hella friendly though, will give them that. read more

We are visiting Eureka and came across Cafe Nooner. This was the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. Get the lamb. I had a flat bread with lamb medium rare and it was chard but still pink in the middle. Lamb is not easy to cook but they did it extremely well. I wish I had another flat bread while writing this review. Absolutely 10/10. read more

I was ultra impressed with this unassuming locals favorite restaurant. I've been hearing about Cafe Nooner for years and today was the day to pop the Nooner cherry! It has outdoor seating (right on a main road so not ideal), and spacious indoor seating. You order at the counter and then they'll deliver your food to you. I ordered the Flatbread Kebab with lamb and extra tzatziki. If you like lamb, you will LOVE this. It's sooo good. They also have the best local brews & ciders on tap. I had a bite of the Signature Burger and the fresh bread bun really makes it extra delicious. If you are rolling thru town and want to experience a hidden hem of a restaurant... search no further! The only thing that wasn't 100% delish was the week old macaron. I should have known. read more

Cafe Nooner - The menu - Mediterranean Near Me - Eureka, California

We love this cafe. The service is always great. I love that all the staff members has great attitude and always ready to help. The food cuisine here I would say Mediterranean inspired or a mixture of Mediterranean and American style. That's the vibe I got from the food selection they have. The restaurant is spacious and has lots of natural lighting; which is super nice for people who have photophobia like myself. This would be our 5th visit. The food has a great taste and nice flavor. We got different dishes, and the quality is always great. I think they have a great quantity serving size per person, but if you are a hungry eater maybe get something extra to the side. I would say it's a bit pricey, but it's worth the try. Owner is super friendly and we met her during our very first visit, because I had questions about the spot and I wanted to learn more about them. read more

Great tasting food great service and everyone is friendly. Just love the planters everywhere.

We stopped in for a quick late breakfast at Cafe Nooner. I ordered a caramel latte and the country breakfast and my girlfriend had the California omelet. Something was going on with their coffee machine when the server was in the process of making my latte and she was very quick and kind to notify me they're working on fixing it. She also refunded me the latte, which I appreciated but it wasn't necessary as I understand things like this can happen. Our food arrived relatively quickly and the portion sizes are large. The biscuit and gravy that came with my country breakfast was pretty good, the biscuit wasn't too dry or crumbly. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the sausages. I think they make them in house, but the sausage was super dry and almost flavorless. The California omelette was a 7 or 8/10 in my girlfriend's opinion. I didn't try it myself but I trust her judgement as it looked pretty delightful. The interior is more spacey than you would presume looking from the outside. I think they had a back door open for a shipment or something though because there were a few flies roaming about, but not enough to bother us. Country Breakfast: 6.5/10 Country Omelette: 7.5/10 Caramel Latte: 7/10 Service: 10/10 read more

We found Cafe Nooner when looking for a pet friendly restaurant on our vacation. The reviews on BringFido were good, we decided to give it a try. The biscuits and gravy were absolutely delicious and my wife's tofu burrito was excellent. (great job on the spices!) The breakfast potatoes were also delicious. All of the food was very good, we actually had breakfast here two days in a row! My wife says the coffee was also "really good!" The staff were very welcoming to us and our puppy, the seating outside was nice in the morning on a decently quiet street. We will definitely be visiting again whenever we're up north again, thank you! read more

Great vegan options & vibe. Helpful staff that were able to accommodate my dairy free toddler by making a dairy free grilled cheese for him (not on the menu) & substitute his side apple for fries instead since he had eaten apples all morning and I knew he wouldn't be interested in another. Really impressed with our food & the service! read more

The breakfast s good. Great coffee. There are country potatoes. But my eggs were poached, over cooked and crunchy due to egg shells in the eggs. The sausage had a tase of cumin. Yuk! read more

Delicious food made with Love here! Just passing through camping north and stopped here with our dog (patio seating). Order at the counter and really nice (and patient ;) gal recommended the Shroomy tri-tip w/ chèvre po'boy. OMG - heaven in the mouth! Hit the spot. Hubby loved hi s burger and my son (7yo) devoured the falafel wrap. He protested seeing the tahini in it and then shut up at first bite. Lol Nice people work here and they like dogs! I'll be back next time through - thank you! read more

I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews for Nooner, but they all seem to be pretty old, so maybe management has addressed customers' previous concerns. I love to visit Nooner in Henderson Center for breakfast! They have excellent breakfast burritos, benedicts, loaded breakfast potatoes and mimosas. Their ingredients seem to be very fresh, including their excellent orange juice. The space doesn't have a lot of character but it's clean and the outdoor seating is awesome on a sunny day. My only small complaint is that they use plastic plates and the tables are bare, so the plates tend to slide around while you eat ... they either need heavier plates or some kind of table coverings. Even paper tablecloths or placements would be an improvement ... it may help with the lack of character issue too. read more

Love nooner. I gave four stars because the last time I got the bread pudding they put zero alcohol in the sauce. Not the same. Not as good as usual. Please don't change this excellent bread pudding! read more

Nothing to write home about. Typical diner food but extra large portions and the employees are really nice. I'd probably come here regularly if I lived in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to make a trip here. read more

This local favorite has delicious falafel. I get the wrap or platter and i have enjoyed each time i come. I have brought friends on occasion and they too have enjoyed the food. Counter service is friendly and items are brought out hot and fresh. Beverages available, desserts as well. Coffee drinks. Order at the counter and pick your table. Clean restaurant as well read more

I just ordered the "country breakfast" thru DoorDash. I am at al loss for words. That could've been the best breakfast I've ever had. Each item in the box had its own specific flavor. The bacon, the sausage, the eggs, the gravy and the biscuit, and let's not forget the potatoes. None of the flavors clashed; instead it was an eye popping experience to go from one bite to the next. I don't know who the chef is that thought of these amazing flavors, but as a fellow cook, I tip my hat to you. I have been consistently ordering from a different restaurant for over a year, with results that tend to go from ok, to alright. I will now crease doing business with that business, and always order form Cafe Nooner Too! My taste buds are on 11, even still, 20 minutes later. Do yourself a favor and get some breaky over here. It's so amazingly delicious! read more

I had the pulled pork. It was fine. It is self service and they bring your food to you. Everything I tried was ok. Not a lot of variety on menu though. read more

Big servings, fresh ingredients, and friendly staff. I enjoyed a sandwich while my friend enjoyed the hummus and flatbread.

The way breakfast should look! Organic, most of the ingredients are locally-grown, locally-roasted coffee, handmade bread, locally-made jams... I thoroughly enjoy their veggie Greek omelette, and they DO have almond milk for my creamer (because milk is my enemy). This, and my Love's California breakfast flatbread, substituted the bacon with scrambled eggs, came to a whole $21 read more

This place doesn't get the credit it deserves. While I have never been inside the restaurant itself, I have ordered many times. Their food is delicious and not overpriced. I love their breakfast flatbread and the tri tip flatbread. And boy o boy their garlic fries are AMAZING. read more
