27 Best Coffee Shops near Mckinleyville

“The artisan quality and ethical sourcing put Muddy Waters Coffee in a class of its own. They care about their coffee and go out of their way to provide amazing customer service!“

“it's Starbucks need I say more“

“One of the few (only?) places in McKinleyville that offers a large assortment of baked goods and pastries alongside excellent coffee. There are usually a few savory sandwiches offered as well.

We were particularly impressed by the fact that the iced coffee includes coffee ice cubes, yay!

Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Because of the open plan layout within a small space, the location is fine for a quick bite and chat, but not particularly atmospheric for a longer hangout.“

“The woman who manages the restaurant is a very hard worker and kind, it's obvious she's dedicated to the job. The dining area and restrooms
are always very clean there's a older gentleman who does a wonderful job keeping the place clean. Even when this restaurant gets very busy between the drive thru, curbside pickup and dine in customers they are able to complete orders in a reasonable amount of time and very seldom do they make mistakes on orders. Which I greatly appreciate because my order is pretty specific and I'm on a limited amount time during my lunch break. Anyone passing through the area and trying to decide whether to stop at the Arcata or McKinleyville location. I highly recommend stopping by this one to grab a bite to eat while driving through the area

Parking: Lots of space for Semi Trucks or RVs

Wheelchair accessibility: Multiple handicap parking spaces and ADA accessible seating and restrooms“

“this place is great and normally I love everything, the Mom and Pop vibes and the old fashioned style shop. the donuts are extremely good. and even though yesterday, the lady who works the counter was frowning at me the whole time, I still recommend them. but she really needs to stop that, it made me uncomfortable. the man working with her was polite, and she was saying polite things and being polite.. just with a look on her face that made me feel like I had inconvenienced her by coming in. heck, I still recommend them, everyone can have a bad day and a surly staff can be amusing.“

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

“I routinely come here and they are so nice and honestly underrated. They have really good everything and they are seldom crowded while other coffee places are a 15 minute wait. They have two windows. Look for the less crowded one because some people miss this.“

“Love their caramelizers, especially with oat milk. Try it blended, “picture perfect.” YUM! Don’t forget a pup cup (or “puppaccino”) if your doggo is with you!!“

“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.“

“Bayside is such a hidden gem! Their lattes are fantastic and their food is so delicious! It’s made with local and organic products whenever possible and the best part is that it leaves you feeling satisfied, full and feeling great. They’re my favorite breakfast spot in all of Humboldt but they make delicious lunches too. If you haven’t checked them out yet, you totally should!“

“Yay coffee in Blue Lake! Delicious homemade baked goods and the nicest owner around. ❤️“

“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“

“Great local eatery! I highly recommend!“

“Stopped by for some morning coffee and matcha with a relatively big group. The workers were sweet and efficient. Although we had a lot of drinks ordered, they were pretty quick with making them. Coffee was solid, they also were able to make it with honey which was a major plus. Also tried their matcha with honey which was alright as well. The place itself was spacious and welcoming to be in. Parking was easy to find. Definitely will be back if ever in the area!“

“Huge kudos to Crystal the Caker at Old Town Coffee and Chocolates in Henderson Center. We asked for a gluten-free pink champagne cake with a unicorn and glitter theme and she delivered this amazing creation! It was beautiful, delicious, and you wouldn’t know it was gluten free if we didn’t tell you! Wowza!!! 🙌👏🏻💙🦄🎂🥂“

“Fast and easy had a good conversation“

“courteous service sweet drinks“

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

“Delicious Pastries & Cozy Café Vibes

Ramone’s Bakery & Café is the perfect spot in Eureka for a coffee break or a sweet treat. I enjoyed a golden milk with a shot that was rich, warming, and perfectly spiced—one of the best dairy-free options I’ve had. I also tried their vegetarian breakfast burrito, which was basically a brilliant omelette rolled up in a tortilla—an omelette on the go! It was satisfying, fresh, and perfect for a quick, hearty breakfast. The cornmeal scone was tasty and moist, though I did notice it’s not made in-house since I’ve seen the same one at other local cafés. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with plenty of seating to relax and enjoy your order. The staff are friendly, quick, and make you feel right at home. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, a mid-day pick-me-up, or something special to take home, Ramone’s delivers every time.“

“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!“

“I m living it! - 1) big Mac 2) French fries 3) milkshakes 4)chicken mcnuggets 5) and many more delicious foods to choose.“
