We love the soup, chicken pot pie, the deviled eggs, the Greek cucumber salad, and without exception, every croissant, cookie and dessert. The owner is amazing and her staff is smart and gracious. We got the to-go dinners last Thanksgiving and I think we will be doing the same every year from now on.

I also ordered a veggie quiche to go, which was delicous. Service was very friendly and all questions were answered promptly. This is a great coffee shop if you want to stay and relax, but also perfect if you're on the go. Highly recommended.

To be honest I've never had a good cinnamon roll from a restaurant or store. They're always dry,…read moreand not glazed enough. However upon entering this hidden gem, I found my one true love--CINNAMON ROLL GALORE and now I'm a changed woman. The store itself is quite hidden behind Big 5 on Broadway. Nothing could stop me from finding the gooey cinnamon dessert so I went on a quest to find Erlei's and upon arrival I was invited into a sweet quaint cafe with lovely decor and sweet beverages. A sweet woman greeted me and patiently waited while I felt quite indecisive...but the glint of a glazed cinnamon roll caught my eye--and I made my choice...the choice that CHANGED MY LIFE The first bite sent me straight to heaven....and I don't think I'll see cinnamon rolls the same ever again... The spread of pastries and treats included cupcakes, quiche, scones, an abundance of various muffins, and the most epic cinnamon roll I had been dying for.

It was absolutely delicious. Thick slices of sourdough topped with a smashed avocado, two eggs over-easy, very tasty cherry tomatoes, drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. The room has some really cool farm-type decorations, a hardwood floor, but the tables are far enough apart that you can talk to your guests and not have trouble hearing each other. The last question below was if a staff member requested me to leave a review - she did; however, I always like to share my experiences in case someone else has any questions. I am a repeat customer now.

Let's start with coffee, I ordered a 12oz hot coffee with caramel. I was given 3oz of…read moreespresso..okay, whatever. I wasn't happy about it but I decided to let it slide and hoped the food would make up for it. I was extremely disappointed with the food. My eggs Benny's egg whites were still runny, English muffin absolutely soggy and disgusting, with a thin slice of deli ham. The potatoes (that I wasn't informed or asked if I wanted onions or peppers by the way) were so grease soaked and cold that they were actually inedible. My partner's chicken fried steak was way overcooked, hard and tough. Just all around terrible. TLDR; given the completely wrong drink, food was impossible to get down, and no concern of my uneaten food by the server or owner. Not worth it at all.

They also have several great cocktails and a gourmet coffee bar. I loved it! Locally sourced ingredients and grass fed beef. The biscuits were obviously made from scratch. I'm sorry I didn't grab a pic... I should have, but I couldn't wait to dig in. Also, I should mention that the staff was kind and helpful. Very welcoming. Highly recommend.

When I contacted them to place my order, I was told they don't/won't make a vegan cake. I even offered substitutions for egg & dairy, but the response was "sorry for the misunderstanding." In hippie Humboldt, a vegan cake isn't exactly an outlandish custom order. I called another local bakery, and their chocolate cake is always vegan (frosting options include vegan and non vegan choices). Mad Platter Cakes really are quite impressive if you have no dietary restrictions.

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!

My wife got something with tahini and she doesn't like tahini so I put it in my sandwich and it was even better! You ordered the counter when you walk in the guy was nice and seemed knowledgeable. Pretty simple set up nothing fancy and there really is nothing cheap these days so for the money I would say it's very much worth it.
