The coffee was smooth, the pastries were fresh, and the breakfast burrito was hearty enough to keep me going. It's got that cozy, local charm that makes you feel like you've found a neighborhood favorite. On top of that, the attached grocery store has a nice selection of local goods, which adds to the small-town vibe. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

What a great and friendly staff you have at this location!…read more I came in today for a cookie and a coffee, and I was treated so nicely that I had to post about it. I come in to the McKinleyville location occasionally and am always greeted with a smile and my order is always deliver promptly and courteously. Kudos to the staff! One question... what's up with your quiche? Avocado? Why? Whyyyy? You make so many delicious items. Why is your quiche not one of them. I understand tastes vary. But why the avocado IN the quiche? Everyone and everything else I've tried. AMAZING. THANKS!

The lady at the counter was super helpful with picking flavors and they even had gluten free options! The cupcakes are so pretty its like little art pieces but they are edible.

Found Beck's at the farmers' market in arcata. We were looking for fresh bread loaves…read more Unfortunately, he said that he is primarily focusing on sweets right now (early 2026). I was bummed, but decided to try one of the sweets. I chose the sourdough babka. It was still warm and the chocolate and cinnamon blended so well together with a hint of sourdough throughout. I was not disappointed in the flavoring, but though it was decent sized, the price point was a tad higher than other offerings from other bakeries. But, beware, the chocolate babka is not really available elsewhere, so it may be worth it to try.

She doesn't sift the flour like big commercial bakeries do so it still has the germ and bran in tact. As Beck's likes to say it's good for your gut and full of fiber! Our favorites are the rye crackers or bread, the sliced sourdough and the chocolate shortbread cookies!

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.

This place is honestly a cute breakfast spot located in a perfect area for a nice walk afterward! 10/10 recommend

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.

The layout makes sense. This may sound odd, but I do love being able to smell produce. It was local, organic, and fresh.
