Great choices and delicious food! Our party had diners from age 6 to 75 and everyone was happy with their meal choices - some had breakfast, some had lunch. We will definitely return when we are back in Humboldt County. read more

Loved this cafe, great intimate vibe and all the staff were very sweet. Tried their gluten free thumbprint cookie and really liked it, the maca matcha (not pictured) was nice but a little too sweet for me, and the Turkish eggs were extravagant and delicious. Great combination of flavors. read more

The food here is incredibly fresh! I had a curry dish with tofu that was absolutely delicious. My friend ordered a salmon pasta special, she loved it. The ladies working the register were extremely kind and helpful. You order at the front and they deliver your food. They have a nice indoor space and an even nicer outdoor area. Very clean and overall pleasant. read more

Passing through. Wow, real food, giant portions! The staff were super friendly. We ate our dinner outside next to the organic garden. We may return for breakfast. Ordered the specials of the day: a bowl of asparagus and mushroom chowder and a chicken and black bean burrito. Also ordered the large entree sized kale caesar salad and a bbq burger. All were cooked/seasoned to perfection. read more

The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. Super friendly staff I had their taco salad and my wife had a daily special burrito. My daughter had one of the best hamburger she ever had. Healthy can (and does) taste better, especially here read more

Such tasty food, fresh! and vegan/vegetarian friendly- in preparation too! They make their own vegan milks and their treats and warm drinks are divine. Thanks to Izzy and the other employees at the desk- they made us feel very comfortable to order the food- they are careful about cross contamination if you let them know. Their bowl was very tasty and the cookies too! Special shoutout to your young workers at the front! It made us want to eat there despite being worried about the options. :) read more

Yum. Counter service for ordering but they bring the food to your table. Clean and cozy indoor seating and outside back patio seating available as well. Love the healthy fresh vegan and vegetarian options. I eat cheese and eggs so am neither but I don't eat meat so it's nice to have breakfast choices that don't include bacon. Had the special omelet which was tasty and enjoyed having choice of side salad instead of potatoes. Although I did taste my companions potatoes and they were quite good. She had grilled toast and said the sauce was good. read more

The food is locally sourced and fresh! Smiling staff and good timing of food coming out when ordered. Good parking.

Cafe Phoenix always has top quality food. The dressings are amazing and super tasty food.

Amazing food and atmosphere. I'll definately be back and I tell all my friends and family to go

Delicious food and great service! My partner and I went here on our last morning of a trip to Arcata at the end of December. The rain was pouring down and we were worried that they wouldn't let our Covid-conscious selves outside on the patio. Luckily, part of the patio is covered and we were able to eat outside, nicely protected from the downpour! The service was attentive and friendly even though we were the only people seated outside, and our food was hot and fresh and delicious! I ordered the grilled toast, which was super tasty! It had mushrooms and kale and a perfectly cooked poached egg. It was all of the savory, veggie-forward, herby deliciousness I could ask for! My partner got the huevos rancheros which were equally tasty. They got the chai latte as well, which was spicy and sweet. My coffee was also very good. They have a setup where you can get your own coffee, which made refilling it extra easy. I will definitely come back here the next time I'm in Arcata. read more

The food is an aria of deliciousness! It's fresh thoughtful ingredients make you hum yum with every bite. There's many options to choose from, I love their salad specials, they are loaded with all colors of the rainbow, dressing are freshly blended & feature Josh Fox croutons!! They serve my favorite turmeric latte ever! There's one incredible secret about this place, but I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to go there to find out for yourself. It's a locals mums the word kinda thing. Your welcome. read more

Lovely space on outside patio. Indoor seating as well. Food was tasty but a little step prices for portion of tofu scramble I got. The burrito was larger than life. Coffee was tasty but served in tiny 70's size mugs. Free refills but would rather just have a bigger mug. read more

Came on a Tuesday at 11:30 for lunch. Parking was a challenge as you can't park in the lot of the restaurant next door. After going around the blocks a few times I made a u turn to park a little ways away. I found navigating here challenging being alone with a dog. The sign outside says to use the "south gate" with dogs, but points to the gate that leads to the back with the garbage. I stood outside the door waiting for someone to tell me where the right gate was, which took some time as, after serving customers, the cashier walked away. Finally got her attention and they let me know. Once I knew the right gate (be careful of the path around the front, it's uneven), I headed back with my dog. The last table was open otherwise I would have had to share a picnic table or leave. I thought there would be a window where I could order, but there isn't. You have to leave your dog alone leashed to a table then go inside and wait in line to order, my least favorite thing to do as my dog is friendly but who knows what could happen in a crowded patio with other dogs and children on it. Never mind someone walking away with her. Not sure how they could improve that but it seems that servers could take orders out back, I don't know. They use those light metal holders with a piece of laminated paper on it for your order number. It was windy so it kept blowing over. Food didn't take too long and they give you a glass for water and silverware when you order. As others have said the food is amazing. Mate and lemonade was tasty. Had the bahn mi bowl with salmon and it was fresh and delicious. Salmon was freshly grilled and cooked perfectly. I went back in and bought their vegan sweets to take along and those were equally good. The line is slow as there seem to be a lot of stoned folks and clueless others taking forever to make a decision. So come with your patience, this is not fast in any sense. The garden is lovely. It is marred by multiple folks who don't believe in headphones having speakerphone conversations, but that isn't the fault of the restaurant. The whole place is all pretty tight in terms of space, I can't imagine going when it is crowded. Excellent food but not always easy to navigate. So for me I would get takeout from here and leave the dog in the car while I wait. If you are a couple with a dog or don't have a dog it would be much easier to navigate, so this is just my personal experience. read more

Food: Great! There are vegan options if one wanted vegan. The ingredients that they used are organically grown or raised, so if one supports those practices, you have a place you can go to! As for the food I received? It was delicious, Special Omelette with Potatoes, I finished every bit of it. Service: The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Ambiance: There is an indoor and outdoor seating if a person prefers to be seated outside. Both seating have a vibe to them. Best of all, it is within walking distance from the college! read more

Cafe Phoenix is THE place to go if you want quality and locally sourced food. The staff were incredibly kind and made us feel very welcome. They had the perfect outdoor patio for us to sit with our pup. There were a plethora of vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options so dine fearlessly if you eat alternatively. The ambiance was everything we could have asked for and I am so glad we came by. If you are in Arcata, check this spot out! We got the breakfast burrito, house pressed orange juice, antioxidant smoothie with house made almond milk, cappuccino, and Turkish eggs with gluten free bread. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much Cafe Phoenix read more

Wow, we wish Arcata was closer to home so we could visit Cafe Phoenix regularly! Sonoma County needs one of these. Outstanding food, highest quality ingredients, peaceful ambiance, friendly service, and a healthy approach to the classic breakfast and lunch items. I ordered the daily special scramble and it was amazing, brimming with broccoli and fresh veggies! The massive, delicious breakfast burrito knocked my hubby's socks off. I am a very healthy eater and cook at home and this place was right up my alley. I really wanted to try the glorified grilled cheese and soup, so we'll have to go back someday! read more

Went twice in the same week and ordered the same thing to eat because it was so good. Hash ($13) GF and vegan option available 2 scrambled eggs and cheesey perfectly cooked potatoes, grilled mushrooms and onions, some greens, pico de gallo and a generous amount of avocado! Super staff who were friendly and helpful. Clean bathroom. Walk in, place your order, they'll bring it to your table. I ate outside in the lovely patio area where dogs are welcome if they are on leash. I believe some of the ingredients used in the dishes come straight out of their garden. read more

They make delicious food! I work in the neighborhood and this is my absolute favorite lunch spot. They are famous locally for their vegan offerings and cater to a wide range of dietary needs like gluten free etc. None of that applies to me, I just love the fact their food always tastes incredibly good! And I like the idea they buy from local farmers. My go to is Phoenix Breakfast Potatoes with Andouille sausage. The title breakfast potatoes doesn't do them justice. They are magic. Besides magic there are mushrooms and onions and some yummy cheese in there. I mentioned sausage, also topped with two yummy eggs. Best breakfast potatoes I have ever had. Seasoned just right, not greasy. Too much to eat at once. Besides the breakfast potatoes I have had several other menu items and never found one I did not like. Really great crew out front. If I could give 6 stars I would. read more

I came here for brunch and the food was delicious. I ordered the tostada and shared a chia pudding and turmeric latte with my friend. The turmeric latte was incredible. I have never tasted a drink like that. It was almost like curry but in a creamy latte. If you don't like curry, you may not like this. The chia pudding was also very good. It had fresh fruit on top that was fresh. To our happy surprise one of the fruits was persimmon. The chia pudding part was nice and thick with a creamy flavor to it. It was very light to eat. The tostada had so much lettuce on top I thought it was supposed to be a salad. The lettuce had cilantro, thinly sliced carrots, and avocado on top of it. The crunchy tortilla was under there though. The meat was seasoned so well and had great flavor. The sauce on top was amazing and went well with the meat and tostada feel. I added some hot sauce on top for a little kick. This dish was so good though. read more
