Old Town Coffee & Chocolates — Restaurant in Eureka

Upon entry as I order a damn fine cook/employee of whatever occupation he facilitates totally there, Diego, notices that I am wearing a Boards of Canada shirt and compliments it.

NO ONE says anything about that unless I'm at a gig or an airport, so that he knew of BoC in the first place is an immediate 4 star minimum provided service is anything but terrible. Shout out to twoism.org and WATMM: if you're ever hungry in Eureka, somebody here has heard of the stuff we listen to.

Service was excellent. Ordered a Breakfast Burrito, got exactly that, staff was kind and the patrons very comfy to be around.

This breakfast burrito (sausage, pepper jack, eggs on flour tortilla HOLD THE CREAM CHEESE and salsa for $5.75) was as I stated, damn finely made and proportionately sized.

This may have been the best breakfast burrito I have had in a decade. There's a place in Phoenix that makes one that rivals it but I seriously can only think of one other place. Props to everyone, sure the coffee is probably great although I had none, can say definitively the burrito was excellent. It was grilled too honestly to the exact amount I love, YMMV obviously.

Five stars. Yes. Absolutely.

Also, someone I believe may have been the owner came out of the shop and as I was taking a photo asked if I was about to do just this. I was even offered something for free my next visit for the review, which is kind if not excessive as they were getting a review anyway (though that is definitely a great gesture).

Also also, I would end this review with a thumbs up and some quip about the coffee being good a la was Dale Cooper from Twin Peaks, generally do that whenever I go try a place that specialises in coffee, though I did not have any....so yeah, I'll just say...

Old Town Location: BEVERAGES: Good selection of coffees, Humboldt Muds are delish, Fruity drinks are expensive. FOOD: Limited choices. No sandwichs or pasta type salads. Rarely serve standard common soups i.e. chicken noodle, veggie or potatoe. Claim they have no input or advanced knowledge about what kind of soup will be served daily, weekly, etc... No sandwichs is a DRAW BACK. Making daily contact by phone or in person about soup selection takes time, effort and dedication by the customer is a HUGE DRAW BACK. SERVICE: Hit and miss. Some days it's quick and correct other days it's curt, crabby and this is not what I ordered. No matter if it's 1 or 25 customers waiting in line, it's always just 1 cashier. Not much benefit to calling in your order ahead of time. If they have a line of customers when you arrive, you will stand in line watching your coffee get cold. You can't see what's in the pastry case or mini fridge until it's your turn to order because customers ahead of you block your view. Not being able to decide what to order while standing in line slows the line down. Even when your standing right next to the case your vision is blocked due to how badly scratched the glass is. Over good coffee and coffee related beverages. This business appears to be thriving but doesn't thrive to deliver a consistent experience of quality service to...

This is the nicest little coffee shop I"ve been into in a long time. When traveling, as we were, it can be hard to find a spot that feels inviting with good lite bites and fantastic coffee (I like light roast, so that's a challenge). Old Town Coffee was all of this. The coffee selection was fantastic and the light roast was just what I needed. I really appreciated that I could get splenda and powdered creamer (I am a heathen) alongside the normal north coast brown sugar and organic milk/half and half. Huzzah! (the previous 3 shops during our roadtrip had been lacking in these supplies...) The breakfast burrito on some tasty type of tortilla was perhaps the best breakfast burrito I've had since I decided that 2 lb. burritos were not my thing. It was the perfect size for a normal person :) The doughnut was superb and our kiddo devoured it happily. Next time we are in Eureka, this is where we will be getting breakfast and...
