Excellent quick bite for gluten-free folks (and others).portions are perfect such that if it isn't enough, just order more. Process are reasonable and fillings are delicious. Both sweet and savory pies are available, for both GF and non-GF diners. The chicken pot pies and the vegetarian curry hand pies are excellent, and the raspberry-lemon curd pie was divine.

As a gluten free vegetarian I rarely if ever have so many options on a menu. Not only could I eat almost everything it was so hard to choose because everything sounded amazing! All the food my table ordered was delicious and the portions were great. I love the decor- Bohemian, art deco vibes!

Great coffee with lots of flavours and combinations. Fantastic food; gluten free, vegan the lot. As with most American coffee joints they add a lot of sugary syrup as standard so request less if you are a sugar avoider. You can buy crystals and other crafty paraphernalia here.

These guys are awesome!!! Great food, great service, and a nice outdoor seating area. If you can see the teeth marks in it, then it's cooked right. Gluten free and vegan options are a plus. Legit bbq joint.

Went in unexpectedly and didn't really need a reservation during the week. They are wheelchair friendly with the side entrance and welcome small children with high chairs. I ordered my usual feast which could be considered "whoa." Chicken fried steak Sunny side eggs and cheesy hash brown and a side corned beef hash benedict. The atmosphere is one to experience. I remember when they had live music and the dining area felt so intimate, like an extended family celebration. The menu offers options to everyone, vegans, kids, celiac etc.very people friendly which is why the 5 stars. The banana stuffed french toast, pancake, and lunch specials, I mean I could go on, so it's safe to say the bill will be indicative of your appetite. The venue is so small and cozy, and due to COVID, they have made adjustments for safety protocols. They also encourage farm to plate ideas. Seasonal combinations like the roasted veg medley with goat cheese. Last but not least the cherry on top, I had the spacedusk on tap as well as their choice Mimosa.

We had an incredible experience. The staff and owner were so nice and made some chips in new oil so they would no be fried in the same oil as other foods with gluten. They were very aware about allergens and catered to our needs without any problems. The food was amazing, great tacos for cheap on taco Tuesday and the Huarache dish is amazing. Just passing through but would eat here any time we’re in Arcata!! Highly recommend for eats and service
