What an unexpected delight! The food was phenomenal!!! Don't miss the Korean fried chicken tacos! The store and cafe decor is really cool as well. We really enjoyed the entire experience.

Amazing lunch spot. My expectations were not high since this is a small town in the country, but the food was really good.

We ate the chicken katsu sandwich and the Caesar salad with chicken, both were great.

I loved the atmosphere, as it was very open and they had fun knickknacks to look at.

Found this cozy spot during our stay at Bodega Bay - definitely worth the 20min drive to Occidental
We got the chicken Katsu Sando (which came with homemade chips) and Kiawe Pork Bowl
Both were fantastic, the sando was big, crunchy chicken and very flavorful slaw
The bowl was a burst of flavors, tangy, creamy, the pork was melt in mouth
The vibes are extremely warm and cozy + great staff!

Love this place. It’s more than just a restaurant/cafe. It’s a community hub and an important part of Occidental. Good food, good people, lovely gathering spot.

This place is a fun stop, cool shop/coffee
bar, but 15 minutes for one coffee is kind of absurd. If it was busier, maybe it would be understandable, but there was no line when we got there. The two baristas behind the counter had plenty of time to show each other photos on their phone and talk about their other businesses, but couldn’t find the time to make our coffee. It looked like the lady at the register who took our order had to tell them that we had been waiting, so thank you to her. The drink was good, but the long wait was frustrating.

We ordered the boho bowl, the veggie banh mi roll, and the rainbow fries. Everything was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients you could really taste. I have to say, the veggie banh mi roll was absolutely incredible. It was so much better than a traditional one – it had big, generous tofu pieces, a delicious pickled slaw, and a spicy, balanced sauce. It was served with some classic salt and vinegar chips. The rainbow fries were also thinly sliced and fried to perfection, maintaining their crispiness. Nothing felt too heavy or overpowering, and it was overall a fantastic food experience.

We had a great lunch at Altamont last week. I had the pork bowl and he had the sausage sando. Both were delicious. The bowl was especially amazing with an array of tastes and textures. The staff is very friendly and the food was prepared in a reasonable amount of time. The whole place has a bright comfortable atmosphere.

My husband and I have been coming here with our little girl for a long time. We LOVE the food, The service and the atmosphere. I’ve been meaning to write a review for a while to express as much. Today I feel compelled to finally say how much I love this place.
I was having a rough start. I went in for a cup of coffee and to retrieve a muffin that my husband Did not get in his to go order a couple days before. I felt a little embarrassed, asking for the muffin on good faith. Matthew, the manager, was quick to bag up a fresh muffin for me, listen to my toddler woes and wish me a good day. I was a general manager in a restaurant and I was impressed with his demeanor and kindness. It’s a tough job and he’s doing awesome. Thank you. What a gem this place is!
