Northtown Coffee

Popped in before heading further north, super convenient and tasty home brews! Cozy couches and chairs and tables on the inside with outside patio as well. Drive right back on the highway when done! Recommended from a CalPoly Student and I’d recommend too! We had the Banana Bread Latte and “Ray of Sunshine Sunshine” latte (what’s pictured) beautiful and tasty

The coffee is delicious, and it’s one of the best avocado toasts I’ve ever had.

I loved this place! The staff were so kind, and the little house look was so cozy! We had coffee and some breakfast treats from the bakery. They had an option between light or dark roast, which I really appreciate!! The eats were really good and tasted homemade with love ♥️ 10/10!

My husband and I visited Northtown Coffee at the end of August! The staff was nice and the atmosphere was cozy!! Good seating options inside and out! My husband ordered The Dank Side and I ordered The Snickerdoodle. We enjoyed the coffee! Latte art was the best that I had seen during our trip (7 shop visits). Their breakfast burrito was AMAZING - like best I've EVER had!

I first discovered this place on accident while driving through Arcata and I'm so glad I did! I try to visit when I come to Arcata and I'm never disappointed! Delicious food, amazing beverages and even more amazing staff. I also love how eco-concious the shop is, making going there feel so good!

My go to spot for sitting down with my laptop and having a delicious drink. Lattes are a bit pricey, but worth it for the taste and quality of ingredients. Getting house made coconut milk is included in the price if you’re dairy free! The blueberry muffins are killer, as is the Portuguese rice pudding. I always feel welcomed by the friendly staff, too!

We absolutely adored Northtown Coffee as we passed through town! Teagan was the sweetest barista that made the most killer coffee and gave great recommendations for our trip!! The atmosphere was impeccable and if we lived in the area, we'd be regulars!! Loved the creative flavor combinations and our coffees really made the road trip sweet!

I love that they have organic food and coffee and they’re so close to the campus! The soup is seriously amazing, I’m so happy they brought it back!

All I wanted was a bagel, and this place delivered! It was the best everything bagel I’ve ever had. While waiting, the room was chill and buzzing with soft conversations, I checked out the crystals (25% off select!). The cream cheese to bagel ratio was superb, perfect combo. Staff was great as well, very positive and friendly! I got mine to-go, but there was plenty of seating to enjoy in. Highly recommend!!! Ate my food before I got a pic. Well-wrapped in cute blue and white checkered paper with a napkin.

Cool new age coffee shop with a great hippie vibe. Chakra banners, crystals on the counter, I think they offer wifi, and if dinning in you get a ceramic mug. The lady at the counter was really nice and she also made our drinks which were very tasty. Both my hot chocolate and my friends white mocha had art on top, so the presentation was really nice as well. It was my first time there and I will definitely be returning.

Love Northtown Coffee and love that is only a block away from my place ☕ The staff are very friendly and hospitable and amazing vibes. Their vegan options are so delicious 😋 The variety of entertainment from open mic, punk shows, art day, pop up dinning and my favorite Jazz Jam on Sundays is awesome. This is why I love Northtown Coffee, my other home. Raquel S.

Long time local, tried 'em all - Northtown wins. Vibe. Coffee. Ingredients. Staff 💯 After years of enjoying, just had to post it today because the Brunch Sandwich Special was perfect. Absolutely. The quality local ingredients and the creativity in the kitchen is the best kept secret (and value) in town 🤫

Awesome experience here! Not only was the coffee amazing, but so was the atmosphere and the staff. Had a great time interacting with them about the keeping and enjoyed the selection of house plants for sale.

The caramel latte here strikes the perfect balance, rich but not overly sweet. After just three visits, the staff already knew my usual order. My only complaint? I wish they stayed open a little late at night too. 10/10 recommended!

We had our eyes set on coffee this morning and did not expect to come to this place. This is our first visit to Arcata, and we had just finished walking the campus when we ran into Michael, who works at Northtown Coffee. I appreciated his honest response when I asked about the "best cup of coffee in town." His reply - "your kitchen!" :) What invited me in, though, was the dog friendly atmosphere as Billy comes with me just about everywhere. Charlie made Billy his puppuccino and served me a cup of light roast coffee with some heavy cream (how I like it). I think next time I'd ask for a blend of the dark and light roast as the light roast isn't quite enough flavor for me, alas, it is still good. Billy was stoked on the morning treat. The stickers and little gifty items were cool. Thank you so much 💛 We will be back!

Made a stop for a coffee on the road! Not bad, more impressed by the cute set up of the cafe. We could tell this is a very popular local spot for remote working!

Sometimes you have to explain your order, like what a flat white is... But the atmosphere is a jewel and good friendly peeps serving you...

Please start using a thermometer to temp the drinks you are making- theres nothing worse than leaving with a luke warm drink. This will guarantee that this doesnt happen… having your barista place their hand on the metal pitcher to guess the temperature of the milk will always be inconsistent.

I was very excited about the decoration in the coffee and matcha, but there was none. even though we told him we were there for the photos. The service is also too bad and the coffee is average.
