Wonderful coffee, attentive staff and a solid menu aren't necessarily a shock considering the hometown setting in Arcata. But, since their location is just a short walk from the university and is a corner location on the plaza, it brings the experience to a level most, if not all, corporate stores can never achieve. Earthy vibe and good coffee. I highly recommend! read more

Jitter bean in arcata is so cute everyone who works there just are so nice. Me and my gfs went there for a little coffee after shopping the plaza. A little on the expensive side and on the sweet side but great. Coffee was super great would you again. read more

Really enjoyed our visit to jitter Bean. The service is friendly. The drinks were awesome especially the JB special. The store was clean. I actually enjoyed it more than the drive-through. read more

We love a good coffee! Jitter Bug is a cute spot! Lots of flavor options! Toppings optional! If your 9yrs old sprinkles are a must of course! read more

first morning after dropping moving my kid into the dorms...we were on a mission for breakfast but the lines were long at the 2 places we attempted to go to. I opted to grab a coffee here and my son grabbed a burrito from a cart up the way. I had black coffee, the coffee was good, the service was extra friendly. read more

The best coffee I have had in a while. Stopped in for an early coffee while in town visiting the college. The girls working were super friendly. read more

I got the house made locally chai latte and it didn't disappoint! I added some cinnamon powder on top and it was the perfect mix of cardamom, ginger, cinnamon smoothly and sweetly blended on a chilly overcast morning. read more

The BEST coffee (nonfat lattes) on the WEST COAST! Always nice baristas. Cute little location in Arcata.

I would start with 1 star because attitude was kinda in the air and believe me I've in many places including NYC so I know attitude and I'm from it I thought I would find it in Humboldt Co but I hues it would take longer than what I expected challenge accepted lol I will keep coming until I see a change and then I will release another review I work in the area and this is the first place I found ... FYI I didn't leave a tip ... perhaps that's why the attitude? I was going to get a couple of dollars from my car but I was running late for work; I like to buy locally so I will come back ... I got the Blended Redbull mmm Next time I'll try their coffee... hopelly not their attitude read more

Amazing small coffee shop nice big windows too look out while reading and enjoying your drink or pastry the interior is clean and inviting makes you want to hang around for awhile service is friendly and fast great music playing in the back round read more

Great coffee w/ great service, but it's on the pricier end compared to other places in town. We came here twice over the weekend and every drink we ordered was great! We asked for double shots in everything and got exactly what we paid for. I would say that the lobby is a tight space but it's fine for a quick in and out coffee grab! read more

Love this place they make the best cold brew with cold foam in Humboldt county along with getting some of the best pastries

Great shop! Loved my chai tea! They ask you if you want sweet or spicy which I appreciate! My husband got the cold brew which he said was great and my mother in love for a decaf white chocolate mocha which she loved. read more

A very good cup of coffee, finally! We ordered two double Americanos and they were on point. Next time we come back through Arcata, this is the coffee shop for us. read more

Had coffee here many times and it's always good! Had a vanilla cold brew with a splash of cream on a warm July day and it hit the spot. Not bitter at all and not too sweet. Friendly employees and clean spot with a little bar area to sit and sip while people watching on the Plaza. Can get a little busy at peak times/during the Farmers Market but the wait is never too long. read more

Have been a customer for years, but only for special occasions! I enjoy the staff and different locations.

We stopped in the town of Arcata for a little coffee jolt and a walk around the square. This place seems to be new amongst the old architecture and places to go around the plaza. I ordered a Mexican Mocha with little whip. It was really good and sweet, so no additional sugar was needed.I love the little dancing bean logo, put a smile on my face when I got my drink. They give you an Andes Chocolate Mint with your coffee beverage and were very friendly. What's not to like? ;) read more

I got a 20oz iced mocha and it was delicious! Exactly what I wanted to get my day started. The baristas were also really friendly.

Their mostly drive-thru location was near our hotel and I went here every morning while in town to get my go-to Oat Latte. They were so friendly and you never feel pressured to tip on a $6 drink. From where I live on the central coast, prices here are in line with fresh ground coffee drinks. They are slow on weekends at busy times but quality and customer service was worth it.My husband got the Oat Mocha and he liked it too. I get there near when they open so not too busy. I wish we had this cute drive-thru near me. read more

Really good service and the drinks are very good. It's a little small but overall pretty good place

I wish they had bigger sizes but their drinks rock! I always get their frozen drinks. Nice staff always as well!

This is the best mocha I've ever had. I got the Mexican chocolate mocha and it did not disappoint. The lady taking my order was very nice. I'm from out of town visiting and I'm so glad I took a chance on this corner shop vs finding something familiar. They also provide clean stylists to use for the touch pad if you're worried about Covid and whatnot. read more

Jitter Bean Coffee Co - a person holding a coffee cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcata, California

Cute little corner cafe right off the plaza in Arcata. Staff were super pleasant and they make a top notch hot cocoa. Waiting area for drinks is a little cramped, but everyone was good about social distancing and wearing masks. I would definitely return! read more

Heard a lot about this place from my students who attend Humboldt so when we came to visit it was a must go to! First it was such a cute local place and the people there were super kind and helpful as we stared at the menu. We don't get many local coffee places in LA so this was a treat. We really enjoyed the drinks. They were even able to customize my daughter drink so she didn't get it with coffee. Will definitely come back when we are in the area. Coffee got us through a long trip back down California read more

just when I thought Arcata was getting their shit together... I would give a 0 star if I could ... I literally just left jitter Bean with my 2 year old right now. We ordered a chai and a kids cocoa with a scone we paid and waited patiently!! So my chai is called and i quickly remembered i love whip.. "could u add a splash of whip please i forgot to say that with my order my apologies".... then i hear ... "that's going to be 60 cents. I was completely shocked... not that I can't afford 60cents because i surely can... just appalled that JitterBean is so hard up for money they charge 60 cents for a dash of whip . I could understand if i was ordering a cup of whip. For sure I'll pay for that... but this is a joke I haven't really been a fan of jitter bean as it is... but this topped it off. I will stay a Starbucks, Dutch bro's and gold rush customer only. Should consider changing the name to #ShitterBean with the poor service read more

This is one of my favorite stops in Arcata. I absolutely love the coffee, it's always so delicious! I'm always pleased with their service and smiles and happy demeanor. The coffee quality is above others, and their barista abilities are excellent. My husband got a hot chocolate and I got a large triple latte. They were both wonderful! I later got a dark roast coffee, which was French roast today. I love dark roast, but I am not a fan of French roast, and theirs was really good. I was quite surprised that I enjoyed it a lot. I will definitely be stopping here on my way out tomorrow, because I rarely come up here and need to make sure I get it again before I leave!!! read more

Feel free to spend too much money on drinks you don't want bc they'll mess up your order a hundred times and make you purchase them each time. Didn't even get my card punched. What's so hard about a standard iced mocha? i order the same two items every time. Time to stop going here. read more

I'm from Sac and they do not have a Jitter bean out there. I'm a coffee lover and this place beats Starbucks and Dutch Bro's bravo! Y'all are killing it!!! Congrats my new favorite place! If you haven't tried them, your missing out!!! Live a little! Enjoy!! read more

After trying one of the most unpleasant Starbucks I have ever patroned (McKinleyville), I decided to try this little drive through shop. I'm not a big fan of sweet coffees, and this coffee has that artificial syrup flavor, but the enthusiasm of the barrister and selection of drinks was just fun! Seriously, skip the Starbucks, and head here for a cup of coffee and sunshine to start your day! read more

On a recent trip up to the Redwoods we stayed a few nights in Arcata, Ca. This little coffee stand was located near to our hotel and was in walking distance. I can say that I really miss these drive-thru's from living in the Pacific Northwest. We used to frequent one everyday right by our house and what we miss most is the customer service and extra attention to quality they put into their drinks. This location Jitter Bean lived up to all that we remember. We ordered a couple lattes and what made it nice is the very friendly barista that chatted us up while our drinks where being made. After handing us our drinks came the extra little touch which includes an Andy's mint...you just don't get this extra attention to details from the Mega giants as they herd us cattle through...if I am back here in area I will for sure be making my intention to stop here again. read more

Jitter Bean Coffee Co - Cool little drive thru in Arcata Ca - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcata, California

It can't get better than this. Easy going coffee shop that makes great coffee and are really nice people. They asked me questions where other coffee places don't like ( what type of roast would I like). They also give you a mint with your coffee which is awesome. You can't beat that. read more

Such great coffee, my go to coffee place when I'm in Humboldt. I always have issues with Dutch bros coffee and Starbucks making my drinks wrong but that never happens with jitter bean and I can always count on them for a consistently delicious coffee. read more

Great tasting coffee. Great locating in the Arcata Plaza. Friendly employee that are knowledgeable of their menu and offer helpful recommendations. Cream and sugar staion is clean and organized. Regular hot coffee is kind of expensive and there is only a few stools to sit. read more

Jitter Bean Coffee Co - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Arcata, California

The location is convenient, yes. And since the location is small there is little seating, which is okay. My drink was not too sweet and made quickly (Tea au Lait). But while sitting at the only chair there I got to hear the manager brag about his three-day weekend coming up, and then argue about the merits of Lady Gaga with his staff as the radio blasted. I don't know about you, but this is extra annoying. Some people can block out distractions better than others, true. But personally I will always plan to take my drink to go. read more

Went in today on my 15min break thinking that would be plenty of time since there was only two people In front of me I ordered a 20oz mocha and a 16oz white chocolate mocha... waited over 20min to get my drinks and I was late back to work from my break .. But to top it all off 3-4 people who were behind me got their drinks before I did... Seriously? It takes 20min to make my drinks but 3minutes for your regular customers? To me that is incredibly rude! It's first come first serve! Just because the baristas know the people who come in often doesn't mean they should get their drinks first and make other customers wait longer for their drinks when they got there first!!!!!!!!! definitely never going back again and the coffee is mediocre at best, nothing to rave about. read more
