Despite my folks living in Fortuna for several years, I hadn't ever been here! The inside is super cute and it has nice breakfast options. The staff were very friendly! The coffee was good and they have some fun types like a Mexican mocha. Service is probably faster at the drive thru, but the inside is cozy! Just don't enter from mainstreet on accident like I did; you need to enter on the side street. Oops! read more

They were ok. Didn't blow me away in terms of the drinks we ordered and coffee, and they were a solid OK. It's nice to have it in town and support something more Humboldt and local than a global conglomerate. We didn't experience the staff issues some previous reviews mentioned. We also didn't get food where some others may have commented. The drinks were A-OK, and Yelp used to say OK was 3 stars. So I'll give it that. Cute indoor setting for those interested in that vibe. read more

Friendly employees? Yes! Cute atmosphere and adequate indoor and outdoor seating, plus drive-thru? Yes! Really good food and coffee? It was ok.... I ordered the potato and egg breakfast burrito with a side of sour cream. It came out piping hot and was not bad, but kind of bland. My daughter got the biscuits and gravy, said they were "atrocious". My son got a cinnamon roll. He took a couple bites and said it wasn't good. This may be because it was just given out wrapped up and cold? As for coffee drinks, they weren't bad. I ordered a Cold Snap mocha which I enjoyed. Shotzs has a variety of other breakfast foods, like bagels, sandwiches and burritos, along with a case of baked goods, but if I returned I'd probably just get a coffee and skip the food. read more

Shotz Coffee - Cold Snap mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fortuna, California

I don't normally leave poor reviews, but I felt like this could be brought to the owners attention. I really like shots they have a great ambiance and the espresso is always really good; I think when you take the risk of hiring high schoolers you run into potential behavioral problems. The customer service person, seemed like she was maybe 16, unsure, didn't pay me much mind and when a customer came through the drive through that she recognized she goes "she knows I hate that bitch" or something along the like. I'm not one to really care about foul language but I also think sometime lessons can be hard to learn or habits can be hard to break. Watch your language young lady or the Karen's will getcha!! read more

Very cool little coffee shop. They offer a wide variety of pastries and breakfast sandwiches along with coffee and smoothies. The food is great. My son loved the biscuits and gravy. I had a pastry and breakfast sandwich and both were delicious. The coffee is right on point. Would recommend. read more

been getting breakfast burritos for years from shots it Fortuna & Rio Dell . They have always been piping hot and they always ask if you want sour cream and salsa . I was handed a Luke warm burrito out the window had to ask for my salsa. This was the worst burrito Ive ever gotten. This was the eureka location won't be back. The coffee was ok hence the 2 star rating read more

From the moment I stepped into Shotz Coffee, the bustling atmosphere and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee captivated me. The coffee shop, though quite busy, had an inviting vibe, making it an ideal spot for coffee enthusiasts. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the service provided by the team of three baristas. Despite the constant flow of customers, these baristas managed to maintain a remarkable level of energy and efficiency. Their skillful coordination and passion for coffee crafting were evident in every beverage they prepared. What truly set Shotz Coffee apart was the dedication of these baristas. They were not just preparing drinks; they were crafting experiences. Even during peak hours, they ensured that every customer felt welcomed and valued. The wait time, albeit slightly longer than usual, was a small price to pay for the quality of service and the exceptional coffee that awaited. To future patrons, I advise patience. The brief wait is a testament to the care and attention the baristas invest in each order. It's not just a cup of coffee you're receiving; it's a meticulously crafted beverage made with dedication. In conclusion, Shotz Coffee is more than just a coffee shop. It's a place where the love for coffee and excellence in service harmoniously blend. A visit here guarantees a memorable coffee experience, backed by a team that goes above and beyond to deliver greatness in every cup!

A cute experience to grab a cup of coffee and a small meal. The service was excellent. Coffee could stand to up its espresso game, but wasn't bad by any means. I'd recommend an extra shot in your drinks. read more

First timer... I have yet to check out the inside and their savory and sweet menu. My experience in the drive through felt easy and fast. I ordered 4 gift cards and a mango drink. Sadly the mango smoothie was so sugary. I wish there was an option to add a banana and make it less sugary. I will ask next time. The employee just asked if I wanted whip cream. I pulled up to pay and I could tell they were busy because the employee took my card and in the mean time was taking a drive through order. I was done paying with my card when I asked if I could have a stamp card. The staff was kind enough to give me two stamps. One star down because I have yet to experience their indoor area along with their savor food. But also the star down was because the drink was so sweet it gave me a headache. I will try again for research purposes ;-) read more

I forgot to say I wanted my drink iced this morning and they handed me a hot drink. The woman working drive thru could tell I was upset by my face. I didn't even have to say anything. I apologized. She said it's ok and not to worry. They corrected it so quick even though it was my mistake. They were quick and so gracious about it. I've had a very hard week and this has made me feel so much better. Thank you for your kindness and patience. I love the coffee, bagels, pastries, and their customer service!!! I also want to add that the women that are always working in the drive thru are always polite and answer my questions about what's in the drinks. Thank you! read more

First time to this location and totally amazed . Just like the Rio Dell location the coffee is on par , the service is even better at the Fortuna location . All 4 of the employees were extremely nice and polite . The tall blonde young lady who took my order also went out of her way to check and see if they had sweaters in my size . Sad that I'm moving across country for good in a few weeks , going to truly miss Shotz Coffee and the lovely employees read more

Got food poisoning. Not great. No its not the coffee working its magic on my guts. 12:00 ish i came in with my fiancè and got two bagels with spreads. Went to school as usual, here i am 5 hours later writing this. Had to leave early because my stomach hurt so bad and my fiance said they felt the same as we were leaving the school. Got home and been in and out of the bathroom ever since, it's 6:25. If it was the coffee that did it, i would be surprised considering I've had my coffee the same way everyday for the past 5 years and never once did i deal with this. I'll say their coffee is pretty good actually - but avoid their bagel spreads, might not keep them in the fridge based on my experience. At least it's not Starbucks. read more

I read the reviews and almost didn't come bcuz health and cleanliness is v important especially at times like this but my friends wanted to visit. The reviews about not being sanitary are 100% correct and this shop should be skipped. The barista took my order and handled my money and register and then grabbed my donut with her bare HANDS when I asked her if I could get one untouched she had to go to the back and find something and seemed bothered. That means they load the pastries with their bare hands. I can't imagine what they do when you aren't looking. Also the acai was no good. Too frozen to eat and very hard. The chai was yummy read more

We drove off and I didn't notice anything till I was about to take a bite of my bagel sandwich and pulled out the wax paper that separate the cheese from each other inside my sandwich. Than upon inspection I told my husband how could you miss a whole wax paper it was not hard to miss. read more

I'm not from the area , I was just driving and wanted to grab some breakfast to go . I found this coffee shop near by and I don't honestly know the protocols of mask require in the state of California but none of the employees are wearing mask and it doesn't seem your have to wear one walking in the shop either. Which is new to me . As I was waiting for my order to come out I noticed so many health code violations with the employees, I counted three of the young ladies touch their hair and one undid her hair in the middle of the floor . Neither of them washed their hands they just continue working like it's nothing , none of them have uniform one was wearing a tank top like she was at the beach . Very unprofessional and uncomfortable to see while making customers food and drinks . I Was there on 6-7-21 around 11:30am and 12:30 read more

Unfortunately when I came to order, the person taking the order had the worst attitude. Her tone was rude and uninviting. I then got my order which was incorrect, in addition I asked if they got the drink I ordered. I received it, it was cold. I like how they're open during covid and taking precautions. The food was great other than the ham on the bagel being ice cold. This was on 2/10 or 2/11 between 8:00-9am I wanna say 2/10 but the charge came out of my account 2/11. read more

After searching for coffee in Arcata this place was a happy ending. Hubby had been swearing and yelling at the evil Starbucks and Dutch Brothers for a half hour. A coffee shop I found on Yelp that was extremely hard to locate had become a hot dog place. This news was not well received. We were in deep. Then the heavens opened and we found Shotz. Cute, nice baristas, and perfect mochas. Whew. Disaster averted. read more

Shotz Coffee - 20oz tripple almond milk white chocolate cold snap. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Fortuna, California

Ok...just came from a couple of days in Eureka and ate at many places. Shotz Coffee was by far the best quality food we had. Had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and cheddar on an everything bagel. Perfectly toasted, everything was hot and freshly cooked. Excellent My cappuccino was...well a cappuccino! Not a latte, but a cappuccino! Excellent thick foam and tasty coffee and underneath. Highly recommend this little drive they if you're heading south on 101 from anywhere north of there! And the staff was happy and friendly too - always a nice touch read more

Ahora os a good choice (only choice) for an actual coffee house if you are in Fortuna or Rio Dell (I don't consider Starbucks an option). The drinks are all on point and service is great. I recently discovered their breakfast food menu is actually REALLY good. Comfortable indoor atmosphere with couches and comfy chairs... free wifi, can't go wrong here really. read more

Got a Carmel machiado and for some reason it was an ice one. ??? Since my gf ordered and not me and we were in a hurry, I decided to just take it. How bad could it be? It tasted like water pretty much 95% of it as I found out all the Carmel solid oat the bottom cup. read more

Great breakfast food for a drive through. I wouldn't necessarily stay there to eat because it's a little cramped but for a high quality sandwich on the go, I'll take the few extra minutes in the morning to drive through. They also have the açaí bowl which I love! Coffee I was personally unimpressed with but will definitely come back for breakfast read more

What a nice coffee shop. Love the chai tea and muffins. The smoothies and bagels are delish. Friendly staff and fast service.

Great coffee shop, organic coffee beans, and tasty food. Their bagels are great and always toasted to perfection. They carry Don's Donuts - best in Humboldt! read more

Great place for a strong cup of coffee. The staff was super. The coffee was excellent and much needed on a cold rainy morning. Keep up the strong work . read more

I'm surprised no one has brought this up in reviews here. The coffee and food would probably be good if you could taste anything but cheap perfume. The young dark haired woman with heavy makeup smells so strongly that you can smell it before you get to the window. When I get my food or coffee it is like eating perfume as she apparently has it on her hands as well. I have mentioned this to her directly but nothing has changed, so I'm leaving this in a review. I will not be visiting shotz again. read more

Expresso machine broken today so had a cider instead. Nice atmosphere but appears to have a strict rule against lounging or doing anything on a laptop. Owner seems to want a donut coffee shop style customer - not a relaxed bookstore cafe. Understandable since there are many shady looking homeless types in the region looking for a place to hang out and to use the bathroom. Owner might reconsider how to sort out those folks from paying customers who are not used to such school teacher rules. I give this place a Fortuna 4 which is like a SanFran 2 read more

Were about to go into the drive through line when hubby decided to park and order inside. Friendly baristas. Cute place with nice seating area to drink your coffee and read the paper. From the length of the drive through line we were hopeful for decent coffee. Far surpassed our expectations. If you are up by the Avenue of the giants this place is worth a visit. read more
