Cafe Phoenix in Arcata

Amazing food! Love the selection and vegan options. So delicious I wish I could have gone back and eaten there again

I’m obsessed with Phoenix Cafe! The food is all organic and farm to table, sourced from the local farms in the area. Everything is SO good and the staff is so kind. I’ve been coming here everyday while I’ve been in Arcata and don’t regret a minute of it

Great local breakfast place, wonderful for vegans and meat eaters.

Very delicious and great quality grub.

Indoor and outdoor tables, order at front and waitress will deliver. My vegetarian bowl was too spicy to finish. Self serve water and coffee.

So yummy and so worth a try. Ingredients are locally grown. And the taste proves it. Smoothing are delicious. I recommend Rocketship.You can take your doggy. Outdoor seating is available. Coffee is also great. Give it a try.

Clean location, mellow atmosphere and helpful, upbeat staff. Many veggie and vegan options, but traditional dishes with cheese, eggs and other ingredients are also available and delicious. Local coffee and drinks in a cozy, comfortable setting. Only downside is you have to find nearby parking, the lot next door belongs to another restaurant.

Excellent Tofu dish. Good service nice patio

The food is good, the smoothies are amazing, and the outside seating space is fantastic.

Wandered upon this gorgeous eatery and couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Such incredible flavors, bigger than expected portion sizes, friendly staff, and quick service. Can’t wait to return!

Visiting from SoCal. Great lunch! The food was amazing. Loved the location and garden patio. Great staff. Veronica and Jericho are so friendly. Will be back!!!

So I can’t speak for the rest of the food but I just got a green bee smoothie it was terrible. Literally one of the worst things I’ve ever drank. I want to go back in there and get my 10$ back but I don’t want to be “that person”. So now I need to find another place to get a smoothie 😢

A very popular spot, so expect a wait. I was excited to come here as it seemed the menu had a lot of gluten free options, but when I asked the server, they are all made with the same equipment, so cross-contamination for those with severe gluten allergies is a big issue. They were able to talk to me to figure out what they could safely make (rice, beans, egg omelette/scrambles, tortilla soup, salad).

Very fresh. Chipotle sauce is fire. Worth every penny

The servers are cheerful, efficient and helpful, and the service was excellent. The restaurant is cozy and had lovely decor - I particularly appreciated the murals on the wall and on our table. We sat indoors because it was chilly, but the outdoor seating looks very nice.I had vegan huevos rancheros (plus a side of breakfast potatoes), and my companion had a garden omelette. We both found the food fine, but not spectacular - Im not sure why that was. It seemed to have all the right ingredients, everything was fresh, and there was variety in the menu - we were so excited to find the place. But it was underwhelming, and we both ended up adding hot sauce and ketchup to get through it.Our team and coffee were great, and the breakfast potatoes were delicious. Price point was fine - it was around $39 before the tip.

Highly recommend this spot if you like healthy food or have dietary restrictions. The food is sooooo good and they are dog friendly on the back patio, which is very inviting.

Would get 5 stars if they hadnt refused to fix poached eggs into something I could stomach. The menu didnt specify poached eggs came on the otherwise magnificent dish that I ordered. All I wanted them to do was break the yolk and cook it, put it back in my to go container. Wound up doing it when I got home, which kinda defeated the purpose of treating myself to a healthy breakfast out.Baked goods are delightful.

Pretty garden, beautiful presentation, friendly staff. But the food all tasted the same.I had the eggs Benedict with gf bread, salad and potatoes. The chef used the same spice (tarragon?in all of the things I tried. Even my husband’s French onion soup.The coconut milk latte was very weak ☹️A shame because I was hoping this place would become a regular. Probably won’t be going back.

Truly an exceptional experience! A beautiful spot with a relaxing atmosphere, gorgeous outdoor seating amidst the garden, and great food. The breakfast tacos and fried rice dishes were great, and if youre in the area I hope youll give it a shot!

The word restaurant means "to restore" as in to restore ones health and vitality. This is a true restaurant in both word and deed. Fresh ingredients, combined to satisfy nutritional needs as well as visual, olfactory, and taste.I ordered the biscuits and gravy and it was a very satisfying treat. Not your average truckstop rendition, this version proves one can have comfort food and nutritional density. A master makes nutritionally dense food taste delicious, a hack merely relies on salt fat and sugar and makes a fool of the diner.Biscuits topped withChanterelles, roasted brussel sprouts, peppers, purple onions, greens, cashew gravy, pea shoot microgreens with potatoes on side.And a 16oz "its alive kombucha"I will return

This food absolutely feeds the soul!! Yes!!!

Dont miss this spot when visiting the area. Solid quality and tasty food. Many vegetarian and organic options. Nice seating outdoors. Good service too!

Enjoyed a lovely brunch here on Saturday. The food was a feast to the eyes as well as absolutely delicious. Portions were very generous as well.

THIS FOOD FED MY SOOUUULLLL. Deepest thanks to owner and team for such an absolutely beautiful, fresh, and expertly seasoned meal.

AMAZING OATS! Had a quick breakfast here and their “Oats” was so delicious! Loved the Wake Up smoothie as well as the vegan cookies :I can only guess how good the other more substantial foods were! Highly recommend checking them out :)

This is one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had. I had the grilled toast with an egg and potatoes and the whole time I was in heaven. All the ladies I went with got the vegan hash and they said it was so amazing and fulfilling! The service is also so great! 10/10 recommend Phoenix cafe!

Organic delish food, my salad was beautiful and so tasty best part is most of the ingredients used are growing in the garden out back. Everyone in the party left full and happy, we will definitely be back when we visit again!

Their online menu is cut off so you cant read parts of it. You cant scroll up and down the menu to see what you want to see. You cant download a pdf of the menu so that you can read it much easier. They wont email you a pdf of their menu. You cant make an online order for takeout. Tom Peters, author of the book "In Search of Excellence" once said: "The only time you truly know that the customer is #1 is when you read it in the corners and cracks of the organizations." Sadly, you wont find customer service excellence in the cracks and corners of Cafe Phoenix.

Farm fresh locally sourced ingredients.ALL- ORGANIC. Everything made consciously in small batches. You can literally taste the love in every dish.The owner doesn’t compromise on a thing, only the HIGHEST quality products served. The love is REAL

Holy moley does this cafe do good breakfast food. Seems like a good place for vegan/gluten free individuals, but even I who have no dietary restrictions loved every bite.

Favorite brunch spot in Arcata! Love all the fresh veggies and high quality food. Excellent Benedict when they have it! Healthy but yummy breakfast burrito too. Love the outdoor space to sit in.

Excellent food, a little pricy, but thats likely because Im coming from Oregon.

Great vegan food! Vegan breakfast burrito is yummy and filling! You can drink your coffee and eat their delicious food in the cafe’s beautiful garden.

I love this place. Food is healthy and delicious. Plenty of gluten free and organic options. Outdoor area is peaceful and beautiful next to the garden.

Best food, Ive had in years. All organic, mostly grown in their backyard. This family owned show is fantastic, definitely check it out. We need more places like this.

DELICIOUS FOOD, with a beautiful venue. A LITTLE small in size. But there is outdoor dining. In a beautiful little garden.I Will be visiting again. Dog friendly

Awesome, healthy breakfast in a cute and cozy atmosphere.

Best restaurant in Arcata! Staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Also, their americanos are on point. Many gluten free options, which is hard to find in Humboldt County. Thanks for the great service.

Good healthy food! Love the outside seating area and gardens. The cafe is being very careful about covid-19.

The food was excellent. A friendly environment with Vegan and healthy options. I was stoked to see the menu. Also, they had Mud Wtr which I did not bring with me on our short trip. It was so nice to actually take time looking and choosing what to eat. I rarely have options in other restaurants. It was a bit rainy and we chose to stay and eat outdoors but it was worth it. Thank you.

Lovely location with outdoor seating. My oat milk cappuccino tasted burnt which is unfortunate but I think they were training a new barista. The bathrooms and eating space were clean with good service. Overall good food - the GF bread with the classic breakfast was a bit bland and dense & we wish the espresso was better :)

Peaceful and the most amazing breakfast. Well worth the price. Good music. Fast service. Perfectly captures the Arcata vibe! Would recommend :)

I recommend this small Cafe to everyone looking for a quick bite to eat. Very friendly staff and atmosphere. I went in on a Sunday and had the eggs benny with baked salmon, it was delicious! It was raining so we didnt bring our dog to eat outside in the patio, but once the sun warms us up we will visit again!

I can’t wait to go back. The gluten free focaccia is worth going here alone. Love the smoothies, Golden milk, bowl of rice/beans. And beautiful backyard. Will be trying more on the menu soon!

Cafe Phoenix has absolutely everything anyone could want. Super fresh, backyard greens to your plate and other local farms, almost everything has a vegan or vegetarian substitute. Perfect portions for breakfast or lunch and they started doing dinners which I have not yet had but are sure are wonderful. Teas, kombuchas, smoothies, wellness drinks, alcoholic drinks, hearty or light. You name it they have it. Definitely worth a visit, or two, or three... You get it.

The freshest, yummiest, and most beautiful food Ive seen at a restaurant in a while ;Great Vegan/GF/vegetarian options. LOCAL ingredients...the freshness of this food is amazing, and my toddler loves it too. Indoor and outdoor (dogs on leashes welcomeseating. Beautiful lil garden to enjoy outside as well. This place feeds your body and soul =)

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 this place!!

I have eaten here twice and both times were really good. I liked how they used fresh ingredients and mixed the flavors nicely. They have options for both the meat eaters and vegetarians. Service was pleasant too. Good job Cafe Phoenix!

Organic, warm and satisfying cafe counter style, and gluten free available. Outdoor working garden with picnic tables, friendly service. I got a turmeric latte made to order with soy instead of coconut milk (a little easier to to digest, next time I might ask if they have oat milkto go with my bowl of rice, beans and kale. Great pickled red onions!

The food is quite good. It is a farm to table restaurant so all of the ingredients are fresh and local. The menu could use more variety. Nice outdoor seating in the back, it looks out into a garden area.
