I had a pleasant experience. I didn't ask for anything fancy but it was all good. Two slices of meaty bacon well cooked, scrambled eggs, coffee hot and flavorful and tasty home fries. Fair price, good size portion and my server had a ready smile.

I have been here several times now as friends or family keep wanting to meet here (I like to let people try new places for themselves). Unfortunately, we have yet to find a dish that is consistently good or flavorful. Service is unfortunately quite slow as well and the ambience somewhat uninviting. Seating is always tight and there has been construction outside for as long as I remember. Today, my skillet potatoes were overcooked and underseasoned, the late was very milked down, the pancake was doughy and the music was so loud that we had to shout to be speak to each other (usually not what you want to experience at a family breakfast). Not disgruntled, just sad that this hasn't turned out to be fluke as I love supporting our local businesses.

Cute place and nice staff, but service was really slow even though it was not busy. Also, food was just ok.

Lumpy floors and tables that rock back and forth. Very little street parking. The place was cold. Our food was cold. We told the waitress that all of our food was cold. She asked if we wanted fresh stuff, but we had to get back on the road so we said no and she just immediately got the check and dumped it on the table without saying a word about any sort of cost adjustment even though my wife and daughter had eaten almost none of their food. I got the Tuna melt and fries, daughter, a grilled cheese and fries and my wife, oatmeal and yogurt. The Tuna melt was lukewarm at best, cold fries, cold grilled cheese and fries and cold oatmeal. It was honestly just a terrible experience. Would never go here again or recommend it at all.

I usually have great experiences in Humboldt when it comes to food and service but T's was the exception. I went with my girlfriend and when we got there, the host just briefly looked in our direction and then looked away. We weren't too sure what to do. I do understand that it was a busy Saturday morning but I thought we would at least get a "welcome, we'll be with you in a bit." Then, it took us about 20 minutes to have the waitress take our order for our food. The waitress was nice and again, I understand that it's busy. But i think acknowledging your customer would be good. When it came to the food, my crab cake Benedict with the home potatoes was not good. The potatoes weren't seasoned at all and were dry from being over cooked. The muffin, crab cake, and sauce on the Benedict were good but the egg was not. If you look at my picture, that egg was not poached. It was basically hard boiled. My girlfriend also ordered her egg on her skillet over easy but got them over hard. She got the chorizo skillet with the soy substitute. The soy chorizo was actually pretty good but the potatoes and egg on it weren't. Honestly the ambiance there was 10/10. It's a very cute place visually for a safe. Too bad the food was not good at all. There are definitely cafes with better tasting food in Arcata.

Cozy breakfast place. The food was great! Service can be a little slow on the weekends when they’re busy. But it’s totally worth it if you’re looking for a good breakfast spot in Arcata.

Great breakfast and service. Lovely menus. Cafe itself is cold, bring a coat. Coffee is consistently terrible.

I had crab cakes Benedict. It was heavenly. No filler. The eggs were poached medium perfectly. Potatoes cooked right. All four of us enjoyed what we ordered. The atmosphere was very loud. I would still go back because the food is outstanding.

Arcata is a small community, so it's nice to find places like this peppered in a small town. The food is prepared well and meets expectations for the style of dining provided. Service was also good, and the atmosphere is modern which serves its large academic customer base well. I always have a hard time giving 4s to places like this because compared to cheaper dining options this is definitely a 5, but I never eat at places like that, so my ratings are purely a comparison starting from a root of equity.

Just absolutely awful. No excuse for such bad food or service. Nobody at the table could finish their disgusting plate and my eggs benedict were over hard. Instead of replacing them they just brought out two replacements eggs to put on top of my now cold food. Gross

Went in unexpectedly and didn't really need a reservation during the week. They are wheelchair friendly with the side entrance and welcome small children with high chairs. I ordered my usual feast which could be considered "whoa." Chicken fried steak Sunny side eggs and cheesy hash brown and a side corned beef hash benedict. The atmosphere is one to experience. I remember when they had live music and the dining area felt so intimate, like an extended family celebration. The menu offers options to everyone, vegans, kids, celiac etc.very people friendly which is why the 5 stars. The banana stuffed french toast, pancake, and lunch specials, I mean I could go on, so it's safe to say the bill will be indicative of your appetite. The venue is so small and cozy, and due to COVID, they have made adjustments for safety protocols. They also encourage farm to plate ideas. Seasonal combinations like the roasted veg medley with goat cheese. Last but not least the cherry on top, I had the spacedusk on tap as well as their choice Mimosa.

T's is a cute eatery in a great location. My dad and I went early on a Sunday morning, when it was quiet, and got a California skillet and Corned Beef Hash Benedict. The home fries were delicious, crispy and nicely seasoned, and I liked the corned beef which was fatty and mild like sausage. The eggs were nice, the yolks mostly cooked but still a bit runny, but I disliked the hollandaise sauce. There was very little hollandaise on my Benedict so I asked for an extra side of it, but it was bland, runny and lumpy, with the strongest flavor being lemon. The rest of the food was decent, however, and I might try again sometime to sample the biscuits and gravy or extensive mimosa menu.

Food was amazing! I had the eggs Benedict with chicken fried steak and my partner had the chicken fried steak with eggs. It was all so warm and tasty and delicious! Even the orange juice was tasty and fresh! The service was amazing and quick too. Will return when we’re back in town!

Not that great. Mushroom & sausage omelet very bland. Took most of it home to feed to the dog. Waitress was nice but when refilling our coffee did not bring more “cream” to put in it. The cafe was practically empty but we 2 were seated next to big noisy table with several loud little kids who ran around after they ate. Potatoes were good. Music was bad.
