"Quite possibly the best chocolate chip cookie & espresso in all of Humboldt County. They really upped their espresso game recently and it shows! Consistently solid shots. Weekends are super crowded because everything they make is delicious so obviously they’re gonna be busy, plan accordingly. The online order ahead is a huge plus. The reality is Cafe Brio is a staple in Arcata and we are totally lucky to have access to such a dope business who prioritizes local food and great service!"

"Still thinking about the extra delicious herb & cheese omelette I had at Cafe Brio! Not only was it cooked to perfection.. but the eggs themselves were so flavorful. In fact, everything at Brio is flavorful .. and FRESH! The sourdough toast was amazing, too. Trying to figure out how many more times we can go to Brio before we have to return home. Highly recommend!"

"Cute café in a nice downtown area! House coffee is smooth. Great selection of items! The hardest thing was deciding between a galette and tart at this visit 😄"

"Good food (some healthy & delicious). Some items are pricey (fresh squeezed OJ cup is more than a walnut loaf of bread)."

"It's delicious here, trust me! The tomato soup is one of the most original and delicious I've had in California. The croissants are fresh and crisp, the cappuccino is great! 👍"
