Sooooo good!!! - Edit
The food and service were both outstanding! It’s Covid time, so called in and picked up the food. Had the Wildflower Florentine sub tofu scramble for eggs and the Rancheros Flores sub tofu scramble for eggs and vegan cheese sauce and sour cream. Both dishes were sooo good! Will definitely be back!

Yum! - Edit
Recently spent the weekend in the Arcata. It was my first visit to the area but Wildflower Cafe was in the top of my “have to try” spots. I was not disappointed. The selection was great and the food we ordered was delicious. The coffee was very good as well. The staff was very friendly and considerate. We thought we may have to wait awhile but service was quick. I will definitely be visiting again and hope the pandemic restrictions will be over so we can have the dine-in experience. Kudos to a fantastic cafe.

Amazing Food! - Edit
Came here twice during one of our trips up to the redwoods. Though we could not eat in the restaurant due to Covid-19 we were able to phone our order in and pick it up both times. The food was amazing, and the service super friendly! We had their breakfast burrito the first time with tofu and the flavors were absolutely amazing. During our second order we had the Rubén Sandwiches with the house made sauerkraut and again were amazed on how flavorful it was. One of the best Ruebens I have ever tasted. We will make it a point to come back here next time we visit.

Dozens of delicious vegan dishes - Edit
Everything we tried was fantastic: dragon bowl, pancakes with blueberries, super nachos. The staff is really friendly and the restaurant is well run. I'd be there several times a week if I lived nearby.

So you want to eat well - Edit
This place, oh this place. Where to even begin? Amazingly friendly staff who are not only funny but very down to earth and gladly assist with turning any dish vegan. Oh yes! Literally the entire menu can be made vegan which is bananas level of awesome.
Read moreThe food though? Oh, so dang good. First though the hemp milk for the coffee, yum. Breakfast-wise their Rancheros hits the spot like nothing else (even had vegan sour cream!). Not to mention all their other breakfast options are super delish; for sure try their Banh Mi breakfast bowl. Of course if you're a mad woman like me and since they serve anything on the menu for breakfast, you can also order their first-rate Reuben and their Amazing mac & cheez which you can add tomatoes, broccoli & spinach to!
Just so much love for these people and establishment!

The best food in town! - Edit
We came in one day after exploring the Redwoods for dinner. We ordered the Cajun seitan sandwich, which was unreal. They make their own seitan in house. The Reuben was delicious- highly recommend. Mac and cheese is decent- needs lots more salt, but totally worth ordering. Came back from brunch and got the biscuits and gravy with country gravy- might be one of the best biscuits and gravy we’ve ever had. We’ve literally traveled all over the country searching g for the best b&g and while they didn’t dethrone the ones from Off the griddle in Portland, they came real close. Absolutely delicious- definitely order those. French toast was also really good.

Food: very delicious and most of their sauces/dresses/vegan cheese is homemade. We got marvelous muffin (veganized with tofu scramble) which was so good. Also got vegan pancakes. The acai bowl was OK. For dinner we got peanut noodle dish and vegan nachos - so good!

Ate breakfast here today. A wide variety of selections with the option to make it vegan. Homemade spicy sauces were a perfect compliment to the cornbread creation I ordered. The server was very friendly and gave fantastic suggestions. We will be going back for lunch.

Great menu & service but cook needs training - Edit
Lots of awesome choices on the menu, we had such a hard time deciding what to have! We went for the vegan French Toast and the special Super Nacho Burrito. Both had great flavor, but the burrito stuffing was cold and the French toast was mushy. They do not have a microwave so we couldn't reheat. The servers were very friendly, and the area is perfect for vegetarian/vegan fare and we hope they are able to rectify the improper cooking, & we will try again in the future.

Wish we had this back home! - Edit
Scrambled tofu? Pancakes? Biscuits and gravy? Yes please!! This place is delicious. We went there for breakfast and ended up over-ordering. It was all so tempting though. This is a great place. Friendly staff. Cute vibe. They even have a children's menu with vegan options.

Lovely place for vegans - Edit
This was a delightful restaurant that had vegan items clearly marked on the menu. We had their specials - a gnocchi, which was neatly done, and the West Indian curries - this was a substantial plate with veggies and tofu, black lentils and a small dish of chutney. We also had a distinctive sweet and sour borscht, The meal was very enjoyable. Service was friendly, the ambiance was relaxed.

Awesome vegan lunch in Arcata - Edit
Stopped by this vegetarian restaurant for lunch while heading north and we were very pleased. Virtually every item on the menu, with a few minor exceptions, can be made vegan. I ordered the nutbuger with the salad option. It was delicious. Suzanna (at my suggestion) ordered the nachos. Yum. The food and the service were wonderful. The wait staff was very friendly and knew how to veganize everything on the menu. One nicety that is rare and very appreciated was the fact that both waitresses served us. There wasn’t the usual “I’ll have to get your waitress”. On the way out we grabbed a couple of tasty vegan cookies to go (peanut butter and oatmeal raisin; the latter was my favorite). Highly recommended!

Love Love Love this Place - Edit
This place is a vegan's delight! Having lived in rural and sometimes remote places all over the country,I can honestly not express how great it is to have a gem like this in Arcata. The owners are great and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. I've eaten here many times over the years and having recently moved to town for a spell, found myself eating here multiple times a week. I had a regular Sunday brunch for a minute and ate lunch or dinner here at least once or twice. I've probably tried everything on the menu at least once.
Read moreAs mentioned in several reviews, everything on the menu can be made vegan. My personal favorites:
Breakfast-
Breakfast Burrito- Sub quinoa chorizo or tofu for the eggs. Its huge, smothered in
salsa, and so good
Humboldt Hash- Sub quinoa chorizo for the egg and delight in potato/lentil
goodness
Ranchero Flores- My ultimate favorite and usual go to
Lunch-
Dragon Bowl- Really nice balance of veg to noodle and the cilantro-lime sauce is
bomb
Tempeh Tacos- Great take on veggie tacos
Thai Salad- I was stuck on this one for a minute. The portion is great and filling.
Its got the right balance of veggies and is topped with grilled
tempeh. Tip: Ask for extra Peanut Sauce. IT's to die for!
Black-Bean Quinoa Burger- Simply put, the spice blend makes this mouth
watering delicious
Apps-
Super Nachos- Huge Portion, so come prepared to share with friends. Or, act like
no one is watching and eat the whole things as your meal.
Dinner- Check the Seasonal Specials and order that. You can't go wrong
The dessert menu varies, but for a while they had a vegan peanut butter pie. By far the best vegan dessert I've ever had out anywhere.
Disclaimer: They do use Earth Balance for their baked goods, but honestly if we visit a place that serves "vegan options" I do not think we can nitpick this one. Especially looking at the cogs of making in house vegan butter in a busy establishment like this
Bottom-line: Eat Here!
Pros: Excellent Food, Friendly staff, Great portions
Cons: Slow service when busy

Cozy Place for Vegans and Vegetarians - Edit
This vegetarian restaurant has numerous vegan dishes, and most (if not all) of the vegetarian dishes have a vegan option. They make great vegan pastries, sell locally brewed alcoholic beverages, and I recommend the vegan mac n cheese plate or the vegan nachos.
Read morePros: nice atmosphere, good food, wide selection
Cons: a bit pricey, small and can fill up on busy weekend nights

I have something to add ...this past week I tried a veganized version of their soft tacos. I got the tempeh ones, left off the cheese and sour cream, and had avocado and a side of the vegan nacho cheez sauce instead. So so good. Also - the vegan version of the reuben is excellent, I get it without lettuce and tomato too since the sandwich already comes with a side salad. Try their tempeh!
