About

Riptide Cafe is Arcata's drive-thru coffee shop, serving the North Coast since 2008. Pull up to the window at 5750 Valley East Blvd — you never have to leave your car.

We brew organic coffee, steam local Humboldt Creamery milk, and serve it with bagels and croissants, at the speed a drive-thru should have. Locally owned and operated, with the kraken on the cup to prove it.
