The Big Blue Cafe - Restaurant in Arcata - 846 G St, USA

This place is AMAZING because of it delicious food, super friendly staff and great atmosphere! My husband and i had an awesome breakfast! I had the ham n eggs n green onions served over a bowl of gravy covered gnocchi!!! We are from California but would definitely recommend and return to this amazing "Big Blue Cafe" Yummo!!!

Dinner here late until 10 on a Saturday excellent! Was surprised to find this open and empty after being turned away at Mazzoti’s at 835 we arrived here thankful it was open and quiet. Wine was excellent as was the food. Spinach salad, breakfast sandwich, kid friendly hamburger, and amazing French dip. Fries and sweet potatoes fries were perfection! Always thought this was breakfast lunch only but it’s been open 9 months at night on weekends. Hot chocolate with whipped cream also excellent.

This is the only restaurant at 10am we found with options friendly to my nephew’s food choices. Shannon sat us. Parker was a wonderful server toward my little buddy. Parker helped us know about the children’s menu options had all my nephews requests on one choice. The regular menu didn’t. Plus, Parker added even grownups can order items on the children’s if they like. He said the cafe likes to make things affordable for people so age is no barrier to choice or affordability 😁 The food is very good. Everything was made the way we asked.

Super cute and (surprise) blue spot with decent food. Ordered Eggs Benedict which comes with home fries. The Benny was good, but the home fries were definitely frozen at some point and pretty lacking. Staff was super friendly and on their game. Will definitely come back and try something else.

Great service and great food. Best breakfast we've had during our travels up and down the coast. The cottage fries were delicious and crispy. Everything was perfect. And the coffee is really good too!!

The food is very good. It was exactly what we wanted during the brunch hour; both lunch and breakfast. My wife had the three juice mamosa, I forget the name. It was very delicious. I had the garlic/ginger roast beef sandwich and the garlic/ginger fries. Oh my! So good. Lastly our server was awesome. Very friendly and accommodating.

I have been in Humboldt County for over 5 years now, and I never visited here not until recently, about a year ago when my husband moved up here. I would say this visit was our 10th time together at this place and we never were disappointed. Staff members are always nice, has smile on their faces and very attentive to customers. The food is really great. I love the flavors and freshness of their dishes. My husband and I sometimes would get the same plate because we really enjoy it - the Huevos rancheros 👍🏼. The orange juice is a must. We only go here for breakfast but my friends really love the lunch menu. One thing I would suggest, the sweet dish’s like pancakes or French toast aren’t the to choices her from my experience, but still yummy. Give them a try you would love it.

Definitely one of the best places in Arcata the sandwiches and other breakfast options are great with the only exceptions being the soups that left something to desire. Also maybe because the place was really crowded they took somewhat of a long time (20 to 30min) to serve the food but they always kept good attention to detail and anything you would need while waiting or eating. Great experience altogether and would go again with pleasure
