This place is so cute and wonderful! I ordered a hazelnut latte, the gravy and biscuits, and French toast. Everything was SO good! The lady working the register and the whole restaurant basically was AMAZING! She was friendly, kind, and worked hard to keep things in order providing outstanding service. I wish I could frequent this place to try everything but was just passing through and found a vegan haven. Do yourself a favor and have a cozy little breakfast or lunch here. Thank you! read more

Man, I wanted to love this place. The customer service was super weird, the lady was rude over the phone when asking what's popular (uhmmm everything?) like that is a helpful response. Their coffee was alright, nothing crazy. Prices were high for the quality. We ordered the burger two nights while in town, and they were completely put together differently the second time and it was not good. Sad since they're so expensive. Also arrived at 9am (when they open) and nobody was there. We waited 10 minutes before leaving and going someplace else which was so unprofessional. The space is cute, small and their baked goods were worth it. They've got the vegetarian market cornered in the area which is nice for them, but they service and quality could be improved. read more

I was really excited to check out this place but sad that when I got there (right at opening time) they were out of almost everything on the menu? I had to re-order a few times and even once after I already paid had to get a refund because they ended up being out of something else, too. I will say the food I did walk away with was tasty and a nice lunch to eat amongst the redwood trees (we did takeout). The ambiance was fine, a little tense amongst the staff but the inside was simple and cute. read more

This place has really gone down hill. I ordered a wildflower salad through DoorDash and the didn't put my biscuit in my box or in any container in general they left it on top of my box exposed so when I got my salad out of the bag it dropped on the floor. When I opened my salad it was nothing but a huge amount of salad mix, barely any carrots or chickpeas and no avocado. The dressing cup was also small and didn't even cover half the salad- I tried calling them 20 mins to closing after I got it and they wouldn't answer the phone so I called a 3rd time and left a message.. it is now the next day and I haven't heard anything and it's 2pm. I won't be giving this place anymore business. read more

I was visiting family in Eureka, and I always like to try new restaurants. I checked out the menu online, and decided to come in for breakfast. It's a nice simple space. You order at the counter, and then they bring your food to you. Your coffee, your water, your condiments, etc. are all self serve. I decided to go with the "cornbread creation." The meal comes, and it was overall very good. The eggs were perfectly over easy, giving me that "yolk action" that drips down into the food. I thought the cornbread by itself was just a tiny bit dry, but when had with the rest of the ingredients, everything played very well together. The only other thing, was that the Dish was pretty spicy. Almost up to the edge of what I care for in spicy. The only thing I could think of was that "cashew Crema". Either that, or if they put something else that was spicy into the food. I would try this dish again, and put the cream on the side, but I would ask what's causing the spiciness. Overall, it was a good meal, and I would definitely come back. Thank you read more

Great coffee ... good healthy food! Easy to find, free parking across the street. Maybe women owned? Didn't see any guys there ... always like seeing girl power in action! Well done. read more

The vegan Reuben was really good. Unfortunately the service was sour. I mean... cranky AF. Not a genuine smile anywhere to be found. Don't think I'll go back simply because if I wanted to be treated in a rotten way, I'd just go to a family reunion LOL read more

The food here was amazing. Since I am allergic to dairy, I'm always on the lookout for French toast I can eat. The vegan French toast here was delicious! Lots of cinnamon and nuts. The service was excellent. I also really enjoyed the vibe here. Would highly recommend! read more

YOL! First our server, Olivia, was a delight! My "cow latte" was perfectly delicious. We also tried the vegan coffee cake which hit all the right notes wouldn't have know it was vegan if not told. Partner had breakfast burrito and was exactly as described and yummy. I had sourheast Asian breakfast bowl, it was stellar! Perfect poached eggs running through rice cakes Cabbage Carrots pickled onions and lettuce. OMG....can't say enough about how good this was! A friend had the rancho florez...supper delicious! I am absolutely having it next time! Smoky cummin and the vegan crema was perfect! 100% recommend! read more

Wildflower never disappoints. I got the carrot smoothie which includes vegan ice cream, banana and cinnamon. I love it. The ambiance is quite nice as well. It's clear that Jay is passionate about what he does. read more

Every single time, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food always seems delicious. The last time we went I was impressed with the burger but not so much the salad. The atmosphere is calming due to the small size of the restaurant. I highly appreciate the light fixtures it adds to the ambience of the restaurant. What a truly appreciate is that they brought back dinners on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 6:30 PM prior they were only serving during lunch. Now they are offering sit down dinner, but usually during lunch, they offered pay-as-you-go, where you order food and sit at your own table. The nice thing about pay-as-you-go is that you're able to grab any of your to go boxes, utensils, water, and sauces on the cart otherwise during dinner, you can get that I'll hand it to you by a waiter. During dinner they do have an extensive menu wilhich includes a wide variety of mimosas such as coconut mango :-9 and kambucha blue blossom mimosa. Next time I plan to order different dishes for a varied review. read more

Had a couple of good meals here. Really liked that the menu choices were unusual and mostly relatively healthy. My favorite of the three entrees I tried was the nut burger. Admittedly a bit hard to eat (messy), but in a way that was part of the enjoyment, too! It's quite soft and moist, and while obviously nothing like a meat burger, still very satisfying and delicious. I added avocado and grilled mushrooms, along with some of the available condiments (especially the house hot sauce - delish!). I also really liked the Wicked Thai Peanut Stir-Fry (with brown rice instead of Soba noodles). I'm a sucker for good peanut sauce, and the blend of the sauce, veggies, and brown rice was so appealing. The third entree I tried was the Falafel Wrap. The wrap was big, thick, and filled with veggie goodness, and quite tasty. The taste of the Falafel pretty much was swallowed up by all the other ingredients, so I can't even say I tasted it. But I saw the falafal, so I know they were there. Service was very friendly, and relatively quick (took about 15 minutes to get our food, even during lunch rush). read more

Capping off annual vacay in Patrick's Point with dinner here. Despite staffing miscommunication resulting in the place having to close, Sue graciously cooked two meals for us without a second thought. THIS is why we keep returning every yearHad the beet Alfredo; wife had the Pad Thai. Both absolutely delish! Thank you, Sue! YOU ARE THE BEST! See y'all next year read more

The food here is incredible! Every time I eat here, I love it. Ive always had fantastic service, it's a really nice staff, and the space is so bright and cozy. read more

Such a delight! Put this place #1 on the list! Jay was so kind, helping me pick between the menu on what to order, giving great recommendations! I went in boarder-line breakfast/ lunch so i decided to get a chia tea latte w/ almond milk- mmmmmhh SO GOOD! At first I was apprehensive to order the southwest Asian bowl, then it came out and I'm so glad I made that choice! I honestly have never had something like it for breakfast before and it was absolutely mind blowing with flavor! I picked Jay's brain on different places to go around the town since Im just visiting for work and he was a wealth of knowledge for recommendations! I appreciated the friendly exchange and my time there. I typically travel, dine and experience everything solo so it was really nice to feel like I had company even though I was the only customer in there at that time. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in for lunch recently, walk up counter service. Theres a small counter to sit and a handful of tables and chairs. Been in the location for years now, quiet and unassuming from the outside. The young man running the register was friendly and professional. Order, pay and grab yourself a seat. Silverware, napkins and condiments are on the table center room opposite wall from the counter. Your food will be brought out to you, it was maybe ten minutes? I ordered the Fiesta Bowl with avocado and a cold ginger brew in the bottle. This is a great lunch, a filling and full flavored meal that hit the mark on all levels for me. Being vegetarian leaning the bowl was a great combination of crunchy, tangy, spicy, sweet, salty, savory in one meal with a nice balance of protein and carbs. Loaded with brown rice, blue corn chips, beans, corn, tomatoes, green onions, pickled jalapenos, black olives, leafy greens, crema and I added some avocado. It was delicious. If you are looking for a good vegetarian and vegan meal, this is a must stop. 4.5 Stars - rounded up for the great bowl 00837 read more

a delicious spot. I didn't get to try more of their food- HOWEVER I'd love to try their vegan french toast! their food is fresh and tasty; I wish they were open beyond 3pm for more days! Their cornbread was extremely warm and simply YUM. hope to try more when I return to visit. and very nice service! read more

This was a pleasant surprise. My friends and I wound up here after the restaurant we planned on was swamped. Everything we had was delicious. I am a meat eater so I never thought of this place but I did not miss the meat at all. The veggies were perfectly cooked. The sauce was yummy. The dragon green tea latte was heaven. read more

My only regret about my visit to Arcata is not having time for more meals at the Wildflower Cafe - this menu was SO up my alley and I wanted to try everything. The two meals we did enjoy were delicious; the atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was pleasant. Will use this as an inspiration for fun things to cook at home! read more

Good vegan options when there are few places to serve this niche. Country potatoes are seasoned well and crispy on the edges!

I am an avid meat eater, myself, but boy howdy can this place serve a satisfying dish. Their food is a bit pricey but that is made up for in quality. read more

Don't ever try the gravy, you never know who's in the kitchen. This place was good back in the day. Something happened, because it doesn't seem like they know what they're doing anymore. read more

Inviting Ambiance, Excellent Service, Nutritious Superb Groceries! All under one roof! Salamat!

I hope this message reaches the owner. I love your food and have been a customer for almost 11 years. This morning I had the worst experience trying to place an order over the phone. I have an event all day on Wednesday, with out of town coworkers and CPH campus students and faculty, and I wanted to have Wildflower to offer them for lunch. I asked to place the order over the phone and pay this afternoon in person or place the order and pay today in person. The lady on the phone said that it wasn't possible to place a lunch order for 11 meals before Wednesday because you couldn't guarantee ingredients available for then... she threw "catering" and when i asked about it she said "yeah that's what I'm saying" while going over the ingredient uncertainty problem. She asked me "can't you just call on Wednesday to place the order" i can't because my event starts at 8 am. When I suggested if we could set an alarm to pretend i place my order on Wednesday she laughed at me and she said she had a line of customers and she could call me back if I wanted to "chat" about it. I am very disappointed for the treatment and because we won't have wildflower sandwiches on Wednesday:( read more

Great latte, matcha latte and fruit smoothies! The service was awesome and our kids loved chatting with the server while we waited. Will come bid on our next visit! read more

A true Arcata treasure! Huge portions for the price, and the food is so dang pretty - it's so bright and colorful that you can't wait to dig in. And it tasted great! read more

Wonderful place to stop on your way up to Oregon. Friendly place with lots of wonderful vegan, gluten-free or vegetarian options .. wow! And the price is right. I live in Southern California, where the restaurant prices are through the roof. It was nice to be in a small town where you can get affordable home cooked, gluten-free meals. I would definitely make this a stop if you are heading up north. 10 1/2 stars for me. ;) I ordered eggs and lentil hash... so good!!! Yum!! The lemon poppyseed GF cookie was good but could be better.. read more

Phenomenal food and incredible service. We stopped here for breakfast on our way through town and got the cilantro pesto omelet and breakfast burrito with quinoa chorizo. My husband and I agreed that this was some of the best breakfast we've ever had! And the breakfast potatoes are to die for. Amazing food with the service to match it. Will absolutely be stopping here again anytime we are in the area. read more

I LOVE this place!! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and the climate is relaxed. I have taken their baked goods to work when it was my turn to provide the morning treats and my coworkers RAVE about the scones. Wildflower also makes the best reuben sandwich ever surpassing my old favorite from the Carnegie Deli in NYC. And...it is VEGAN!! Treat yourself to a memorable meal in Arcata, CA and stop by here for lunch!! read more

I enjoyed my vegan pancake, it was just what I wanted, and very filling. The golden milk was a little sweeter than I expected, but still good. My partner had the cornbread thing, and felt it needed a little more spice, but otherwise enjoyed it. Portions were large. Service and ambiance were minimal late morning on a weekday, it was quiet and we had the place basically all to ourselves. read more

I really didn't want to write this review, but it needs to happen. I have lived in the area 30+ years and have been supporting The Wild Flower Cafe the entire time. The last several years the place has declined in service and quality, but the prices keep rising. Yesterday we went as a family and had a bad experience. The staff were in the kitchen yapping super loud with cuss words in most sentences for our 9 year old to listen to while we were eating. The dishwasher looked like something out of night of the living dead and was back there sneezing, and when I went to wash my hands in the bathroom he looked sick. After our food arrived the male staff in the back started a conversation about video games and other things and were raising their voices over one another and swearing. Totally ruined it for us. I will also say that they are not keeping the place very clean. Our table was so sticky my shirt sleeve was sticking to it. It just feels dirty in there. In my opinion the food is good, but the rest isn't so we will not be going there anymore. Hopefully they see this review and make some changes. read more

Delicious food, cute space, employees were a little rude at first but got better (I'm not a morning person either). Would definitely come back though. I decided to get their cornbread breakfast and it was delicious! Lots of flavor and huge portion plus they've got a bunch of hot sauces to accompany it since I like a bit of spice. Also had a matcha, which was delicious as well. Everything came out super quickly too. It's not a huge space so might need to be prepared to wait a bit for a table or take it to go. read more

This vegetarian restaurant is very good with tasty food. You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy the delicious food here. This restaurant was so good that we had to eat here twice in a three day period. My favorite is the Portabella Burger ($11.50). This has a giant juicy cooked to perfection portabella mushroom in a hamburger bun with lettuce, tomato, etc. It also includes a side (salad with delicious dressing, or the side-of-the-day). Don't forget to add the grilled onions (50 cents additional)! Delicious. The Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie ($7.55) is made with vegan vanilla yogurt (so my lactose intolerant son could enjoy it) and strawberries and bananas. Tasty and dairy free. There are so many great items on their menu. Next time I'm in the area, I will try something other than the Portabella Burger (but it was soooooo good). My wife and son enjoyed the items they chose, but did I tell you about the Portabella...... (Only inside seating...) read more
