12 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.“

“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 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 🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍💯💯💯“

“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!!!“

“Mostly an HSU cafeteria but fine for visitors i think. Sushi is delicious and very cheap, can't reccomend it enough. I've gotten the katsu on meal exchange so no idea on price but pretty good

Vegetarian options: There is a restaurant inside with dedicated vegan options“

“courteous service sweet drinks“

“the cafe miel is such a treat, but the pourovers done right is where it's at for me.“

“Great food and great place to people watch..“

“Ham & Swiss croissant and coffee is on point. I can see why you guys are busy. Good Luck“

“My husband and I visited Jitter Bean Coffee Co at the end of August. We're actually from Van Buren, AR! He was adamant about visiting this local coffee chain. We both ordered an iced white mocha! I thought that it was good. The inside of the building was clean and had a little seating space. It had big windows with a great view Arcata Square. If I was a student at the local university, I would consider studying there! I thought that the staff were friendly and that they finished our order promptly. I think it is a great place to get an afternoon ice coffee - - - that is what we did!“
