    12oz. Mocha on left, 16 oz. vanilla latte on right !

    I wanted so badly to like this place because it's cute, but that's really all it had to offer. My husband and I were disappointed with everything else :( Service : we stopped by one day as we were driving in the area and accidentally found the place, we walked in and the place was cute, we looked at the menus up at the front and after a minute or two I noticed we were there too late and they were in fact closing up shop for the day- totally okay that was our fault ! Howeverrrr I did wish they at least acknowledged us and said the normal "hey guys so sorry, we're closing down for the day, feel free to check out the menu though and for next time our hours are ..." you know ? I work at a cafe myself so maybe this is personal preference but I've always been told not to ignore potential customers so out right. We came back today a few weeks later since I did want to try it and today our service was better, the girl at the counter was nice ! That's about it though, it's a self serve, self sitting, self table-bussing type place so it really can't be impressive since you kinda do it all yourself anyway but she was nice ‍ Drinks / food : Fiance and I ordered coffees, they were okay- good, not great but whatever. The food though was really where things went wrong. I ordered a kids waffle because I really wasn't all that hungry but my husband was so he ordered the full sized waffle. UHHHHHHH They're the same size ? I was really confused about this because the kids one is $9 which is fine but the adult one was $16 if I remember right and it was the same exact waffle but with whipped cream on top. Mine came with syrup but his did not which I also thought was kinda odd, we ended up just sharing mine anyway but why would something almost double the price be the same size as a child's plate.. The size of the waffle was the size of *maybe* 2 frozen eggs waffles, but possibly even thinner I don't know I guess I was just expecting a nice fluffy thick waffle more than an eggo toast like one. Time: took forever. Coffee took about 20 minutes, food at least another 20, reminder we just ordered what ended up being the tiniest 2 waffles so I don't know how it takes that long to cook.. there were no sides or anything that came with it so it was definitely a simple order that should've been pretty quick imo. I doubt we will be coming back, $50 for 2 alright coffees and eggo waffles that took ~45 mins kinda rubbed me the wrong way but at least we can say we gave it a fair shot ‍

    Breakfast burrito substitute with pulled pork

    Avocado toast solid, burrito very good, indoor outdoor seating very competitive , looong wait times for food (one hour) staff were pleasant, have to bus your own table

    Bayside Breakfast with bacon

    This place is by far the best breakfast spot we have had during our stay in Humboldt county. Once you are seated you place your order at the counter so you have to stand in line to do that and then your food is brought to you. We ordered a few breakfast burritos, a bean bowl with a poached egg and 2 orders of the bayside breakfast with bacon. The bean bowl was infused with flavors and went perfectly with a poached egg and topped with avocado. My only wish was that the beans and veggies were hotter. The 2 bayside breakfasts came with a side salad some seasoned potatoes and 2 poached eggs. The burrito was also yummy and packed with flavor but make sure to note that is is topped with seed and sauce and and comes with pickled onion so if you aren't a fan make sure to take note of that! I also tried the mocha matcha which was not too sweet but still had a rich flavor of mocha.

    I just went here for the first time on Saturday. The food was amazing. It was so flavorful and fresh. I had the breakfast burrito and couldn't finish it all. The atmosphere is sweet and so are the staff. I will definitely visit again.

    Cozy!

    This is a cute place. The parking is on the street so you might have to walk a distance. It was too busy when we were there and they were slammed with orders. We were first served the wrong meal. Then we waited more than 15 minutes after that for our food. And the food was mediocre.

    Food always feels so nourishing, service is hit or miss. Hands down best Matcha in Humboldt

    I love this place. So delicious and great for vegetarians. They are good with accommodations for the most part. Amazing outdoor seating and super kind employees. Gets busy on the weekends so get there early if you plan on going for breakfast. I also have to say, they have the best drinks in town alongside Cafe Brio. My only complaint is the portions do feel small sometimes.

    Super yummy! I love going here on a Saturday morning to get some brunch! The girl at the register was super sweet! I even invited her to local show I was producing. I got lemon berry waffles, a latte and some potatoes. The potatoes could have been warmer, but overall my meal was very yummy. I also adore how lovely it looks inside when the sun is shining :)

    It was yummy and fresh and unique. I loved the art work on the walls. I had chai pudding and my partner had a breakfast burrito.

    Hot latte, berry waffle (not super sweet,perfectly warm) bayside breakfast added bacon and toast

    Peach and burrata salad
    Kory A.

    Absolutely phenomenal lunch at Bayside Farmstead Cafe! We are tourists driving through and had no idea where to eat. All the thumbs up to the peach and burrata salad, the Cubano, and the Shakshukka special. Every single bite was outstanding. Only wish I had more room to try some of their desserts! 12/10. Do it! Adorable place, great service, and wonderful food!

    First time trying Backwood Burritos after walking by it multiple times and I will be back!…read moreGot the outlaw burrito and it was delicious! Eggs, chili, and the chipotle crema made it super creamy and the bacon provided a good texture difference. Chorizo was excellent providing a punch of spice and salt. Only thing is that it was a little hard to tell there was supposed to be tater tots in it, as they seemed to get lost in the rest of the ingredients. Tortilla was also very good, could tell it was high quality. Staff is super friendly (just 1 guy and his burrito cart) and price is good for the quality of the ingredients. ~$12 for the one I got which is the most expensive. Definitely a must try for Arcata! Overall: 4.7/5

    still do not know the hot spots around here but the 2 i tried to get breakfast at had a line (so…read morelikely are good) but i didn't want to wait. Grabbed a coffee at Jitter bean then a Burrito here...only 1 meat burrito left so gave it to the boy and just took a few bites. the guy working the cart was super friendly and kind. it's a quick and easy breakfast! size was a bit small for the price but does seem to be the standard size in relation to other burrito spots in Arcata (i'm used to San Diego which is on another level of Mexican food). solid food easy access get it while you can for best selection. great service. seems to be a popular pick around here.
