    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 .

    Came here with friends before the weekend crafters faire opened, and I'm so glad we did!…read more It's not every day that I see a Croque Madame on a menu, so you know I just had to have that. Such a simple yet complex ham and cheese sandwich, and Cafe Brio prepares theirs open-faced, allowing one to enjoy the flavors of the multiple cheeses without everything getting lost between two slices of bread. I know I definitely enjoyed it! The only thing I would do differently next time is order an extra poached egg bc one simply wasn't enough for me. I love me some runny yolk, and I wanted more of it with every bite. My friends ordered the Brio Benedict and Eggs Brian, and I'm assuming they enjoyed their meals as much as I enjoyed mine bc they might as well have licked their plates clean. And in absolute silence, too! You know the food is good when the conversation comes to a halt and all you hear are occasional "yums" between bites. I look forward to returning the next time I make the five-hour drive to visit my friends. And I definitely need to work my way through their pastry selection bc everything in that case looked absolutely divine. Next time, I'm saving room for pastries. Or maybe I'll just order them to go bc who am I kidding?!

The frittata appeared made fresh, not in a pan baked that morning and then carved out. I appreciated that, and the lightly dressed greens and super sweet tomatoes that accompanied it. I had a golden milk to drink, which was good and unsweetened (which is what I want). I wish their chai had been house-made too, without sugar pre-added. Coffee was decent. The dining space has plenty of seating inside and out, and parking is plentiful and free in the downtown square. The shop also makes their own bread, which is good, and a variety of yummy looking pastries, many of which feature fruits in season.

Witness Coffee Roasters has a…read morecreative menu, the highest quality ingredients, and friendly staff that take time to craft your drink with care. My mind was blown at the perfect balance of Hojicha with oat milk, a lot of times when I get matcha or Hojicha lattes I find shops don't get the ratio right but Witness created a delicious harmony of flavors. My husband got the drip coffee and he said it was the best he'd had on the west coast, I can confirm the coffee had incredible berry-forward, rich flavors. The vibes inside Witness Coffee Roasters is so chill, too. You can request a vinyl album to be played. Our barista was incredibly knowledgeable about coffee drinks, we enjoyed chatting with him. Also, their vegetarian-forward menu looks great. While their inside is super cozy, they do have a few outdoor tables in the front for folks with dogs. I wish we had a Witness Coffee Roasters where we live. I can't recommend this local shop more, they get a 12/10, they are a total gem in Eureka.

    One year later review update: STILL kicking ass at making…read morethe best coffee I've ever had. After traveling all over Ca,Or, & Nv, Witness is still making the best coffee drinks. I'm so damn spoiled now. Other coffee shops in Humboldt CA should see this place as an aspirational influence! Coffee and food are brought to you (unless it's busy, then food is brought to you and your drink is announced at the bar to collect); every food item is great flavor, texture, fresh ingredients, and no-nonsense sauces (only quality sauces can be found here!) The vibe is still very welcoming, they've added sidewalk tables, and another window bar to sit and enjoy the plants and sunshine that beams in from the courtyard - for that matter, you can sit IN the courtyard!

Great meal choices for everyone that was in our group. Located near the University, gets a good mix of young and older clientele. We sat in the back garden where there are a number of picnic style wooden tables, most with umbrellas for shade. The garden is decorated with lovely plants and flowers and makes the space that much more pleasant. Dogs are welcome here. Our drinks came put first and the food did not take too long to follow. I ordered a breakfast burrito which easily shared with another person. The particularly liked that the burrito was not soggy and maintained its structure while I ate it. Everything that came out to the table was very well put together and nicely presented. The dishes and cups used were also uniquely picked. I ordered a chai latte and it was perfect, not too spicy. I'd definitely go back here again.
