Customer service was great but the location is awkward as it's located in a hotel. If you're staying in the hotel it's probably a convenient place to grab a bite. Otherwise the Arcata location has a much more welcoming ambiance to have a sit-down breakfast and coffee. Employees at the Arcata location seem like they have better barista training/experience as well. Iced drinks at the Eureka location were watery :( read more

This is one of a few pleasant surprises in downtown Eureka. It a beautiful old hotel lobby which they have lovingly restored. The service was order at the counter by nice folks. The Lattes and food was pretty good. Somewhat elevated read more

For some reason we are setting a trend at hitting the local coffee shops while we are traveling through many states 5min before they close! We don't want nor mean to be those people, but we have made it in and have been greeted and served as if time were no matter. Super hot and delicious! read more

This place was far too cute and I am so happy it opened up in the heart of old town. Everyone there was so sweet and the seating so full and spacious. Their coffee was fantastic. With phenomenal specialty drinks and the classics for any coffee shop. What really pushed this one into a perfect 5 stars was the fact that they had gluten free options, that were fresh and unique. I am so happy I got to go here and would recommend to anyone. read more

Oh my goodness. I was trying to give the Vance Cafe one more chance. Three young ladies sat back there actually they were standing yakking and giggling, and I'm the only customer here and my toast sat on the counter for I don't know how long. Long enough for it to get cold. They didn't even bother to tell me it was ready. They weren't busy. I really am the only customer here. read more

Good for a nice light breakfast. The service was fast and friendly. Their chai though ‍ SOOOO GOOD!!!

I ordered a breakfast sandwich with ham, a fresh and thick egg patty, garlic aioli, Havarti cheese, and avocado on a toasted English muffin. It was tasty, though a bit overpriced for something I could easily make at home, even though the quality was very high. I also had a regular black coffee, which was good. The ambiance was perfect for getting work done--it was quiet enough to concentrate, and there was plenty of room to spread out my paperwork. The Wi-Fi worked well for me, although the attendant mentioned it can sometimes be spotty. The staff was kind and welcoming, which made the experience enjoyable overall, though the price might keep me from coming here regularly. read more

Passed through town while visiting the Redwoods and I'm so glad I did because their coffee was really good! I ordered a Cortado and it was spot on.. great foam on the milk and espresso was delicious. I was very impressed. Their egg sandwich was yummy. Super kind and welcoming staff.. beautiful interior with cool history of the town on the walls. read more

Great food and wonderful, friendly service. My hubby and I always get their Chilaquiles when we go there for weekend brunch. Also, they provide great quality food at a great price and that is why we are regular customers of Familia Cafe in Old Town Eureka. Maravillosa! read more

I went in today and asked for a breve cappuccino I was told they do not have half-and-half and I said OK. Is that a normal thing or do you just not have it? The lady looked at me and said no we never have it cause we don't need it rudely. I told her that I'd take a regular cappuccino 12 ounce with regular milk. She told me they only did them in 6 ounces. I asked if she could just put 2 6 ounces in a 12 ounce cup and she said she couldn't do that either so I ordered two cappuccinos. They were 6 ounces and then asked for a 12 ounce cup and they looked at me and grabbed the cup. Set it on the counter and walked away. I will never go there again. Worst service I've seen at a coffee shop ever! read more

Came to town for the kinetic race. Stumbled on the one in Arcata, decided I would grab a mole latte (after having one Saturday in Arcata) before the water entry. It was busy! The location is beautiful, in the lobby of an old Victorian hotel, very different vibe from Arcata. Mole latte was on point, service was friendly. read more

I'll start by saying that the food at this restaurant is great. The tacos are fantastic and the breakfast sandwich is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the time it takes to get these items is absolutely insane. 30+ minutes for a single item with two other people in the restaurant is ridiculous. Watching 4 people stand there and doing nothing while one person slowly makes a single order at a time is frustrating to watch. read more

My family and I went here to enjoy a quick breakfast and coffee. When we walked in, this should have been our first sign to turn around... no one greeted us for a long time. We ordered our food and a latte. The latte tasted like warm milk with cinnamon-- no espresso taste at all. I literally had 3 sips. The food was not good. I understand this is a coffee shop but the flavors and quality were all off. The chilaquiles was really horrible, my biscuit for my breakfast sandwich was off in texture, I wouldn't call it a biscuit . The yogurt parfait was good and the avacado toast wasn't bad. I rarely write a bad review but we left without drinking the coffee, only taking a few bites of food. It was a waste of $. read more

Wonderful place, wonderful people. Great coffee, spacious and classy seating in a historic hotel. Always interesting pictures on the wall. I write there in my little corner, it's been one of the best places I've ever found. If you're in Eureka you have to visit, and sample one of the great locally roasted coffee beans in town. Do not miss Familia in the Vance Hotel! Right next to the old town plaza, get your coffee there or to stroll old town. A staple for locals, and treat for visitors! read more

Their cafe mole was THE BEST... A just try. The atmosphere was amazing. The atmosphere was warm and calm.

Why only almond milk and whole milk? Why not some non-fat milk? Service was friendly and fast. But there's really no reason why a coffee shop in California has such limited supplies. This is a very nice dining area in an old historic hotel building. Bathrooms are clean. read more

good coffee and pastries, cool building in downtown, friendly staff, would go back again

Lavender oat milk latte, it's amazing. Staff are friendly, vibe is nice, coffee is great. read more

This is the second time we've stopped here for breakfast and coffee. The lattes were very good. As someone who roasts their own coffee I value a good cup a good cup out on the economy. We had their Avocado toast which is done on a thick slice of artisan bread and their steel cut oats with fruit and granola. Both, very good. We love the old hotel ambiance and will definitely make it a point to stop in whenever we're in town. The service was great and the staff very friendly. read more

The cortado was great and the atmosphere is nice. But the chilaquiles was literally just corn chips with orange sauce one it. No beans, cheese, meat, nothing. Just a single scrambled egg, orange salsa, and chips. Also each one was about 5oz in size. The total cost for two cortados and two 5oz chips and salsa was $40. Feel like those chilaquiles is a genuine rip off. read more

By far the best coffee in humboldt. The coffee here beats or is on par with my favorite sports in the Bay Area or any major city. The egg sandwiches here are also really good and well priced. Definitely would recommend this place by far to folks looking for a solid coffee or espresso spot. read more

Best Coffee in town, they always get it right. the food is always good, really great soup, salad, and sandwiches. read more

I came here on a Saturday morning to meet some friends and get some coffee. I ordered the Mole latte which was very delicious (a little sweet but the spices were very complimentary). My friend ordered a cappuccino and said the quality of the espresso was very good. I also like the seating areas. Very clean and spacious! They have some super interesting and unique coffee and tea options on the menu that I can't wait to come back and try later! read more

Small cafe tucked into a hotel lobby in the historic downtown of Eureka. They made me a fine cup of cappuccino without any special instructions (and that means a lot because I'm kind of particular...) it was really satisfying. I don't know anything about their food or pastry options, it looked kind of limited. but I know they can make a great coffee and that's what I cared about. I will certainly repeat next time I'm in town! read more

Best espresso and coffee in Humboldt! They also use the highest quality milk options (A2 milk or Oat) and have a great selection of cookies, muffins, other high quality baked goods, sandwiches, salads, etc. The ambiance in the Vance lobby (no longer a hotel) is also nice and there's plenty of indoor seating for rainy days. This place makes your coffee and espresso PROPERLY, when it's ordered, so be patient if you want good things--the fast foodification of the coffee industry nearly destroyed it but places like this continue to prioritize QUALITY! read more

By far the best cappuccino in Eureka. I do wish the hours were extended . Overall the drinks are great and the people are awesome. read more

The owner is amazing and kind. The coffee is some of the best in Humboldt. I really enjoyed their cold brew. They also have a good selection of snacks. read more

The things I love - their coffee, the atmosphere. Also, the owners are wonderful people who are lovely to chat with. I can't give five stars because they often open late, and often don't have their espresso dialed in on time, to serve people at opening. And their tables are not always wiped down. I would say, if they could open on time every day and keep the tables wiped down and floor swept, this would be a real class act. As it is, it still feels really nice to hang out and enjoy great coffee and some good music, in a spacious and pleasant old hotel lobby. Top notch spot overall! read more

I've eaten here a couple of times, both times I had the house salad. It's made with local fresh veggies and is a generous portion. I also shared a delicious wheat feee oatmeal raisin cookie with my mom that was additive and I'm not wheat free. Very limited menu, good variety of baked goods but all seem to be made with quality and care. My mom had a mocha she very much enjoyed as well. Cafe is clean and comfortable. Will go again. read more

Nice room, crummy coffee. Do not order the mocha if you want to taste chocolate, and unless you like to get your seemingly chocolate free coffee lukewarm the first time around. I ordered a mocha, it came luke and not tasting of chocolate. I brought it back, the barista offered to remake it. I accepted, and asked him to put in more chocolate. He replied that I would have to pay extra. I demurred and watched as he applied chocolate to the cup practically molecule by molecule. He kindly asked if I would also like the first cold, flavorless, rejected cup. Again I demurred. read more

Their breakfast sandwich is delicious. I had it with Havarti and ham on gluten free bread and it was prefect. Can't wait to have it again.

We came here to try the micro-roasted coffees by Humbolt Coffee Roasters. The lavender coffee is the best! Very fragrant and strong lavender scent. The coffee is smooth. We went into the roaster's wholesale shop across the street. They told us they make the lavender syrup themselves. That explains why its so tasty! read more

This is the best coffee shop on the north coast. The cortados and cappuccinos are amazing and the chilaquiles are delicious. Would go here every morning if I could. Also the café miel is absolutely perfect for a sweeter coffee treat without being too sweet. The pour overs are amazing too! read more
