    The specialty bagel is the best breakfast sandwich in Arcata hands down. Trust me!!! It's so delicious. I always get a vanilla latte and a specialty bagel and it satisfies every time. I consider myself a breakfast sandwich enthusiast and the specialty bagel has me in a chokehold. Soooo good.

    Very cute cafe with a good working atmosphere and kind staff. The bathroom was also nice. Unfortunately, the drinks weren't up to par. We ordered the iced rose matcha latte and peachy iced tea and they both don't taste as they're named. There is no matcha flavor and it just tastes of sweetness. The iced tea isn't sweet (which i don't mind) but it tastes watered down. The blueberry muffin was decent though. I still rated 4 stars because I'm no negative Nancy and the people were nice. I'm not too picky with my drinks TBH.

    I visited Coffee Break during my recent vacation to the Arcata/Eureka area. First off, I'd like to start by stating that I observed none of the negative things other reviewers have experienced and criticized at Coffee Break. It was a warm day when I arrived. There were two sets of customers hanging outside enjoying their coffee. One couple had their Labrador Retriever with them - and he/she was sound asleep - sprawled out on the ground, enjoying a nap in the sun. Inside there were several folks drinking coffee and either reading or engaged in activities on their laptop PCs. I ordered a cold brew with room for cream - with an option for coffee ice cubes! I've never seen that offered before! So I opted to try out the coffee ice cubes! Cold brew was strong and tasty! And as the ice coffee cubes melted, you got a concentrated shot of cold caffeinated goodness later on! I'd come back here again. Service was good. #CoffeeBreak

    Such a darling place , with amazing food. I ran into the owner at Costco. She was buying top of line salmon for bagels, and was so nice . Her staff are warm and helpful , the room and outdoor area are so cozy . Highly recommend .

    Coffee ice cubes are what make this girl happy and I was surprised they offer them in their drinks.

    During our visit to Arcata, we stopped by this location twice to re-order the salmon eggs benedict…read morecroissant.. It was SO delicious. It's a little pricy, but honestly, if you're here, you NEED to try it. I was very surprised to enjoy their iced matcha too! It tasted like authentic matcha and not too watery or milky. The hot mocha was so delicious, too! The service was fairly quick and kind when helping us find something to order. This place is honestly a cute breakfast spot located in a perfect area for a nice walk afterward! 10/10 recommend

    We loved Cafe Brio as our morning stop before heading up to the redwoods for hiking. Their coffee…read morewas better than other spots we had gone to mornings prior, and we enjoyed the brio classic with bacon on croissant & the summer omelette. We opted to sit outside and were entertained by some of the other customer's dogs on the patio and we got to enjoy the cool weather. This is a casual place where you can go up to order your food at the cashier, grab a number, and they'll call your name to grab your food and coffee. The cafe is in a great location of the Arcata plaza square, so we were able to walk by some of the nearby shops. This is a great location if you're looking for some casual breakfast food in the area. They also had an amazing display of pastries and desserts that I wish we would've gotten to try.
