Trish's Out-of-the Way Cafe — Restaurant in Fortuna

I had the best breakfast of my life at Trish’s Out of the Way Cafe. Writing this with tears in my eyes from the life changing experience this breakfast gave me. My hotel (Scotia Lodge: also amazing see my review there) recommended breakfast at Trish’s and described it as the ultimate local delight. Oh, boy, were they right. Trish served the restaurant and made me feel right at home. She helped me make a tough decision in choosing what I wanted to eat and got to know me a little as I waited. I ordered the veggie skillet with rye and it was incredible. The choice and variety of vegetables felt thoughtful. Nothing was overpowering and everything was fresh. About to embark on the rest of a roadtrip, I now feel energized and ready to take on the world. After eating and getting to know another table next to me, the experience ended with a bill and hug from Trish personally. THANK YOU TRISH AND STAFF!! You made my experience one I will never forget....

This place was great! We stopped here for breakfast on our way to Eureka and we were far from disappointed, we were delightfully surprised. It was pretty busy for a Friday morning, but we took that as a good sign. We still got seated right away and the service the whole time was just awesome. So was the menu! There were at least 5 different styles of eggs Benedict, which we both love so that's what we ordered. It was a little bit of a wait for food, but they were very busy and with just one cook in the kitchen. Not an issue if the food is good. The country style Benedict was basically biscuits and gravy with poached eggs. Their homemade biscuits were absolutely delicious and the gravy was on point. My wife had the California style which had tomato and avocado. She ate way more than I thought she would and said it was delicious. I bought a commemorative hat so I can tell people how great...

We were passing through on our vacation seeing the redwoods and had a early breakfast here. Everyone is here in the morning - a real community - talking about everything that’s happening, and serving up delicious breakfasts and coffee of portions that will get you through the entire day. I had the Cali Benny and loved it. And let me tell you - I usually absolutely hate coffee that I don’t make myself, and my first sip of Trish’s coffee I said, “that’s good coffee,” absolutely started my day off right. Trish and chef and staff all clearly care and - heck, look at the pictures people have posted - those pictures don’t lie. Quality food and community and ownership that doesn’t take anything for granted. Worth the extra drive, and don’t be put off by the outside. You come here for the food - and you get the people as...
