Cute coffee shop on the wharf in Point Arena. Service: 5/5 our barista was patient while our whole family ordered and let us know it would take a while as he was the only one there. Ambiance: 4/5 while the inside is both a cafe and a shop it is cozy. When it's sunny outside, the pier is beautiful! You can sit on some picnic benches near the ocean and it's stunning. Food: 4/5 cinnamon buns were delicious. Muffins were better than average but not bakery level to me. Coffee: 4/5 coffee was tasty! definitely not the best, but for a small town very good. And definitely way better than gas station coffee.

While staying in Point Arena for two days, we visited Cove Coffee once each day. The staff was very friendly each time we were in and you could tell they had a friendly group of locals who came there often. The coffee was great, I had a white mocha which was delicious and was perfect for the chilly day outside. I also had the avocado toast, which was not typical but still delicious. Looking at it you would think the bread was going to be hard and chewy, but far from it. Bread was soft and flavorful and there was just the right amount of avocado. They have a small selection of baked goods and a few other breakfast/sandwich items. Inside there is a nice seating area and it's also a gift shop so don't forget to look around for souvenirs!

Got coffee here. It was very good and strong. The barista who works here on Sundays is very cool and friendly. Nice sitting area and a gift shop and tackle shop to boot.

Stopped to go out on the pier and sat at a picnic bench to watch surfers and wildlife. Checking my cell phone I noted that I didn’t have any service. I set my phone down and watched a couple of men speaking French and picking shells. Shortly after that we left to go see the nearby lighthouse a few miles away. When we got there I realized I had left my phone on the picnic table at the pier. We hurried back but we’re pretty pessimistic that we would get it back. With winding curves it took a few extra minutes to get back. When we did, I saw that it was not on the table any more. We went into Cove Coffee and the lady there immediately understood that we were the ones that the kind Frenchmen brought the phone into and related that they had seen that we had left without the phone and tried to flag us down. Maybe it was just the relief at getting my phone back but I ordered the best Americano I have ever had in a paper cup. Great coffee and greater service. 5 star.

We stayed at the inn above Cove Coffee and stopped in both days for coffee and sandwiches. Owners are so friendly! Coffee was great, as well as the avocado toast and bagel sandwiches. And if their homemade muffins are available, get one!

Awesome staff… incredible sandwiches. Excellent morning view and the coffee is amazing !! Had fun chatting with the locals here. Highly recommend.
Brilliant, service, drink, food and seaside chats. What else do we need in life? The ambiance both in and out are a place in time.

Tough economic times have forced a lot of our friends businesses to fold. I hope cove stays open, great breakfast sandwiches!

It's really the perfect coffee shop, and an essential stop if you are in Point Arena. Great cuppa, tasty pastries and you can chat with the locals as you start your day. Don't expect fast, this is for real and not premade.

Cove Coffee in Point Arena is more than just a coffee shop; it's a testament to the charming simplicity of this small coastal town. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by an enticing aroma of brewing coffee that instantly takes you by the heart. The coffee is robust, full-bodied, and brewed to perfection. Whether you're a fan of a classic black coffee or prefer something more complex like a mocha or latte, Cove Coffee won't disappoint. Their sandwiches, on the other hand, are hearty and flavorful. Each bite delivers a tasteful symphony of freshness that complements their coffee quite well. Yet, Cove Coffee is not just about food and beverages. One side of the establishment is dedicated to a collection of surf-style clothing. It's a fun touch that adds character and pays homage to the coastal culture of the area. The proprietors are as genuine as they come. They operate with a realistic approach, running the shop usually with just a couple of people. As such, during the lunch rush, their speed of service can be slower, with about 2-3 sandwiches made every 5-10 minutes. If you find yourself in a queue, expect a wait of about half an hour. But remember, one visits Point Arena to escape the bustle of city life and to slow down. In the spirit of embracing the slower pace, view any wait as part of the charm. Your patience will be rewarded with a satisfying meal and the chance to soak up the local atmosphere. After all, in a town like Point Arena, the options might be few, but the quality is undeniable. In conclusion, Cove Coffee captures the essence of Point Arena — unhurried, authentic, and delightful. Be patient and you'll be treated to not just a meal, but an experience to remember.
