Slice Of Humboldt Pie
Pie shop
🫤 Pie was barely mediocre. Little flavor. Dense crust. I have had better from supermarket bakeries. Seems more like a place to drink beer, rather than get a good slice of pie. They should probably change the name.

Northtown Coffee
Cafe
👍👍 Amazing people here. So we couldn’t decide. Oracle dog through the arch says, the ‘Cosmic’. And so it was: cosmic. It had shrooms! Just kidding it was delicious and no we didn’t hallucinate the wonderful bathroom mural of Gaia holding the world tree. But I had the compulsion to buy a bunch of...

Hatchet House Arcata
Recreation center
👍👍 I reccomend reservations because this place is packed (but not claustrophobic). I took 5 teenagers for my son's 14th birthday party. It was $70 for 2 lanes for an hour for up to 6 people. They showed us how to throw and then they slowly brought other tools over; knives, thin axes, and a shovel. Eac...

👍👍 Quaint, family-run business. All smiles and friendly customer service. Plenty of room for parking. Outdoor seating available. I got the Philly dip which was outstanding. I’d been out of the states for a while and haven’t had a good quality sandwich in close to two years. Let me tell you I could have...

Dead Reckoning Tavern
Bar
😠 I was denied access to the establishment for having a Service Dog which is illegal. The bar tender yelled at me and my partner saying the dog isnt allowed, I then pointed to his vest and said he's a service dog. He replied "he still can't be here." I was really excited to try this place but I left f...

👍👍 I'm glad they got rid of the statue of President McKinley...it never belonged there! Now in the middle of the plaza is pretty plants. The plaza is in the middle of a square of nice stores and restaurants. The plaza is a nice place to walk through or just hang out for a little while. I see families t...

👍👍 Their sandwiches are amazing! As a vegetarian, I often only have one option at delis, but the Arcata co-op had THREE veg options. I ordered the picante pickle patch, and it was amazing! The popcorn tofu was delicious too! In addition to this, their mango selection is the best I've seen in CA. When w...

😠 All the charm of a gas station bathroom at 3am but with the prices you'd expect during peak holiday season -- year round! I've never had a cashier be rude when I offered to show my ID before, although I have been treated badly every time I shop there! A "fresh" produce section that is as wretched as...

Dutchy's Pizza
Pizza restaurant
😐 Meh. We got a large veggie pizza for $30 and we were told to pick it up in an hour. I've had way better pizza for $20 and faster. The best thing I got from there was the beer. The guy behind the counter seemed nice enough though and he was trying his best to keep up. He was courteous It did seem a...

👍 Food was great. The tempura yam basket was delicious. We ordered 5 different rolls, all we very tasty. The honey crisp is one of my favorites. The only thing was the service was a bit slow. But worth the wait.
