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

👍👍 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...

Papa Wheelies
Restaurant
👍👍 Wonderful food, beer, and hot sauce selection in an unassuming location! We got a plum sour from the local brewery, but the standout was the lobster tail mushroom Buffalo Bleu cheese "wings" which were absolutely drenched in an amazing sauce and accompanied by a surprising selection of ice cold, fla...

👍👍 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...

👍 Drone owners you cannot fly there its restricted. They have an aircraft and planes do fly that low. Trust me it was a big pain carrying a drone that I couldn't use.
