Cafe Phoenix — Restaurant in Arcata

Great farm fresh breakfast! Two perfectly poached eggs with grilled vegetables and a side salad with pickles onions! I absolutely appreciate their commitment to local and organic food! Housemade cashew and almond milks are a gigantic bonus! Skip the espresso drinks here and go for one of their specialty tea latte creations! Good fast service! I would have loved it if the heat was on but it seems all the Arcata shops don’t do much to keep customers warm.

Adding on next visit: You had me at Organic food & dog friendly patio! I’ve ate here multiple times now and every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 time 👏🏼 it’s on point and delicious. Great service, which is a huge bonus in these times! Farm fresh, organic produce! I LOVE their maca matcha latte, chai latte and the house-made nut milks! The Hash is filling and tasty. I often have one if their daily specials! Go here if you’re hungry, even when it’s crowded, the goes fast and the food is surprisingly quick to be delivered. Love...

Cafe Phoenix has been an Arcata staple for many many years. This women owned cafe is one of the best places to eat in Humboldt. The atmosphere is great and cozy on a rainy winter day and especially nice on the back patio or in the yard while the sun is out.

The new addition of, Smoked is too recent to give a solid review, but it seems to have potential. Glad we have Cafe Phoenix in our little...

Generous portions, friendly staff, fresh ingredients all combine to win my recommendation for the Cafe Phoenix. I ordered the omelette with the addition of spinach. They are willing to make slight adjustments to the menu items. I was also pleasantly surprised to discover the cook used a nice, flavorful, aged cheddar in the omlette's preparation. My companion enjoyed the Phoenix Classic of "perfectly" poached eggs with veggies, (brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, and the addition of spinach). We noted minimal, if no, use of butter or salt in the preparation of the meals. Cafe Phoenix has a small informal dining area with seating in front of a large picture window where you can watch the world pass by on G street while you eat your meal. The dining area can get pretty noisy when only half full. Not recommend for quiet...
