6 Best Coffee Shops in Arcata

“The espresso is one the best I've ever tasted. The coffee is amazing as well. I cannot recommend it enough!“

“I choose to go to this spot because they serve 20 oz red eyes with four shots. I get burnt out by caffeine-sensitive baristas who make comments about red eyes and inadvertently flash implicit bias and character judgements on people for having a high caffeine tolerance. I go to school and work, and I don’t want to feel like a drug addict every time I order something off your menu. I went in today for a red eye and one of the baristas was confused and concerned about other staff historically making the normal four shot 20 oz red eyes, thinking that 2 shots was more than enough. There are plenty of drinks on the menu for caffeine sensitive people, please for the love of god leave red eyes alone and keep them at 4 shots. If I have to pay extra to add 2 shots to a 20 oz red eye just to reach the normal 4 I’ll just go to Dutch Bro’s exclusively. I like north town coffee, there are a lot of awesome things about this place, but I also don’t want to pay +$7 for a drink that should have the same kick as a $4 drink, and as I mentioned above I don’t want to feel like a drug addict by the staff every time I order something off your menu.“

“I pulled up to pay for my drink only to notice I forgot my wallet... they gave me a free drink!!!!? i highly recommend the new dutch bros in valley west 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍💯💯💯“

“After weeks of the damp cold weather a 1/2 hour sauna felt sooooooooo good. It felt like mildew was growing in my joints lol, and now I feel warm and dry.“

“I fly from Boston to Arcata to visit family, and this spot is by far my favorite place to grab fresh coffee. The staff is amazing, and everything is fresh. The coffee is so good when I'm out here, It's part of my daily routine. Out of the 20 or so stands and shops around the county, this is the go-to. Thank you for the morning coffees this past week!!! The next time I fly out, I'll be by. 😁“

“Loved this little coffee place. Excellent coffee & donuts. But your cup lids are terrible. Spilled very hot coffee multiple times on myself & so did my.elderly mom. Traveling through & literally covered in coffee. That was extremely hot!!!“
