Beachcomber Cafe

A wonderful gem of a cafe on the California coast. They have an amazing breakfast menu while being dog friendly and family friendly cafe nestled in Trinidad. I would highly recommend this place for any traveler and foodie because of the quality and customer service. There’s ample seating inside and a wonderful patio for those who want to smell the ocean breeze. An absolute favorite and highlight of our trip.

Amazing Breakfast Spot! Beachcomber Cafe in Trinidad, California, is a fantastic place for breakfast. They offer a great variety of delicious options paired with excellent coffee. The staff is incredibly helpful, and the prices are reasonable. I absolutely loved the cozy vibe of this place—highly recommend it!

Friendly staff and delicious food!! I should have added the beans to my chilaquiles.

In the heart of Trinidad, California, this well-known local cafe offers delicious bites and brews that will jumpstart your foggy coastal morning with a bit of soul. A line out the door can be daunting upon arrival, but it only takes a moment to realize that only a handful of guests in the cozy entryway are waiting for service. Behind the counter, the team works hard to provide handcrafted dishes and coffees to patiently waiting guests. The space is charming, decorated with local crafts, surfboards and artwork. Up front, orders are taken expeditiously, but with personal care to ensure accuracy. The glass case near the register features perfect looking house-made pastries and treats. The nearby chalkboard exhibits handwritten specials, which I usually deem a signal that I’m in for something solid. Seating is somewhat limited, but patio overflow is helpful for larger groups. The orders arrived within a reasonably time frame, and looking wonderful too. My order of chilaquiles was impressive, and my wife’s Avocado Beach Bun was simple but just as satisfying. My iced latte was unique and palatable, and my wife’s caramel latte was reported equally delicious and heartwarming. It was easy to remember to take photos this time, because all of our order was pleasing to the eye. I felt compelled to purchase some merchandise and local crafts, as I was so charmed by the Beachcomber and wanted to take a piece of it with me. I hope this place never changes, quality job to the employees and owners.

I had been waiting to visit this coffee shop, but I previously would arrive in Trinidad too late in the day. The line was long. The coffee was ok, I had a turkey frittata that also was ok, and arrived looking like a quiche. All good, just different than I expected.

Fantastic cafe with a small selection of breakfast items and baked-daily baked goods. Tried the South of the Boarder Smash, Frittata off the Day, Coffee Cake, and Blue Berry Scone - Everything was fantastic! Highly recommended it.

Excellent espresso and friendly staff! Plenty of seating in store and outside. Also right near the beach.

Another recommendation from our host at the Roosevelt Base Camp. Stellar cafe all around. Friendly service, clean cafe, great food. Açaí bowls were outstanding. Very glad we stopped by on our journey.

The service was great! The food was delicious. We came back a second time for coffee pickup. The coffee was amazing The food was very flavorful and would back again

The Beachcomber Café is highly rated and we couldn't agree more. I had the Bean Bowl and my wife had the Beach Bun with ham. The Bean Bowl made two meals for me and my wife loved her sandwich. Loved it to the point where we almost went back the next day to get another one. The service was very good and helpful. It has a very laidback atmosphere with not a lot of seating and little to no heat.

Amazing little spot near the water with terrific açaí, a life changing vegan BLT, and good coffee. A must stop for breakfast!

Excellent place to eat! Friendly staff, quality food, clean establishment. Highly recommend going here. Greta place to eat and chill out post hike or while traveling.

Quaint little place with very pleasant staff. Breakfast & lunch options available at all times. Very peaceful and comfortable this morning though I've heard they get quite busy, particularly on weekends, holidays and summer.

The bagels were for sure delicious! The veganator sandwich was bland and just ok. The pesto pasta salad was also amazing though! Definitely recommend if you're in the area!!

Came here for a quick lunch. We ordered the tuna melt and the special turkey Sandwhich. Both were tasty. I was excited to see they served Verve coffee (my favorite) and had lots of vegan friendly options on the menu. The staff were friendly and they had great outdoor seating. Would come again the next time I'm driving through Trinidad!

Best breakfast bagel sandwich I have ever had in my life. Really cool seating with windows looking out to the main street in town. Staff was excellent, able to point us in the direction of their bagel suppliers, and able to sell us some of their coffee beans. Will come again!

I originally stopped here as part of a long costal dog friendly road trip because I saw the reviews and pics about how dog friendly they were. When I got there it was exactly as described. Large outside seating area, doggie menu, dog friendly etc. However my little guy (85 lb doberman) just wasn't feeling it that morning and wanted some solitude so I grabbed a chai and a bean bowl to go and we walked down the block to some super picturesque public benches and ate the delicious food overlooking Trinidad coast. The service at beachcomber was perfect, and the menu was wonderful with something for everyone. I would have liked to have stayed for a dine in, but what the dog wants the dog gets. Next time for sure.

Great little place. expect a line out the door. 30 min to get food probably. I got the avocado toast and I really enjoyed it, it was light and kept me full 4hrs into my hike. My bf got the scenic bagel and it was very good and had a salad. Nice and quick bite. Prices are a tad much for quantity but quality makes up for it

Excellent lunch, still thinking about it, was so good. We split the Vegan sandwich and the Fakin' it BLT on delicious gluten-free bread, SO good. The Fakin' It BLT was both of our faves, that coconut soaked "bacon" layer and the avocado made for a creamy and satisfying sandwich. Highly recommend! Sat outside on the burlap cushions in the sunshine and had a great time. Counter service was friendly and quick. Wish we lived closer to come more often!

Food was delicious and fresh, chai was very yummy. The chilaquiles were super good, and the carrot cake muffin was one of the best i've ever had! Came by to eat breakfast and do a bit of work, wifi was very quick. Very cute place, plenty of seating and staff were super friendly. Would definitely visit again if passing through!

Hands down our favorite stop in the area. We have been here a handful of times now and every time they make us feel as though we are catching up with old friends. We love the atmosphere and the easy going vibe. The food is top notch and they serve our favorite Santa Cruz coffee. Can't wait to visit again!

Great and cute little place for breakfast/brunch. I do think the portions were more on the smaller side

Whether you're driving by on your way to the Redwoods or staying in Trinidad, CA this lovely family owned business has excellent food, friendly staff, and a lovely place to sit inside or outside. Their small gift shop, with items from a local, round out a wonderful experience. Great vegetarian and non-vegetarian options.

Good food, service is slow but that's sort of the point. We sat outside, it was comfortable. I had the bagel with lox, and my partner had the avocado toast. Would definitely go back. Prices were very reasonable.

You know when you walk into a place and you immediately feel genuinely welcomed? Well they got that here! The young people in the front were friendly and were really hard at work. I ended up coming here back to back because it was so damn good. The inside is spacious, clean and full of little goodies for sale. The coffee was great, the chai & matcha delicious! Oh god and they have COFFEE ICE CUBES?! Shout out to the girl who asked me if I wanted them, seriously as a coffee lover I almost died of happiness. The vegetarian / vegan sandwiches are top notch, smoothie bowls filling and delicious. Shout out to you guys for not only including plant based food but actually making it taste amazing! I can't wait to visit again and try more stuff.

This is one of the coolest places to visit! The staff are extra friendly, especially to the earth and your body! Bring a cup for a discount on your coffee because they don't have paper cups. They have fresh local food that is to die for. Everything we ordered was excellent. The Bean Bowl and the Grizz were great choices for breakfast! The Lavender Banana Blueberry loaves of bread were so good, I'm going to try an recreate it at home! The atmosphere and beach vibes were so great. I highly recommend for passerby's and for locals. We will be going by when we are going through Trinidad again!

Delicious, friendly staff, calm cafe setting in a calm area of town. Definitely 5 stars

We like to visit Trinidad every year and our go-to breakfast/brunch place is the Beachcomber Cafe. This time I noticed some changes, like the new exterior paint and the re-opened dining room. But things that did not change was the great food and friendly service.

EDIT: we had our take out sandwiches later in the afternoon and they were awesome. These restaurant owners are clearly very responsible and take pride in their business. Whenever we're back on the west coast we'll be sure to come back! Updating this to a 4 star review. This was very close to a 5-star review. Coffee was great, we had the Americano and honey matcha latte. Her Veggie breakfast sandwich was great, and we got some sandwiches to go along with baked goods. It was my breakfast that was the problem. I got about halfway through my smashed avocado toast when my wife pointed out the ants crawling out of my breakfast. I found about 3-4 in the arugula and told the server. She immediately took it back and brought a new one in a few minutes. Clearly this arugula was well washed and much more care was put into it. Had we not gotten the response to the issue, it would've been a 1 star review, but I appreciated how quickly they reacted and took it seriously. Hopefully next time they'll clean the kitchen better and pay attention to the little critters!

Fantastic breakfast offerings in a quintessential NorCal beach town. I will greatly miss the Jetty bowl until our next visit. Service was outstanding

The food and service and atmosphere here are all wonderful! They have a lot of gluten free and vegan dishes. I just had Vegan Chilaquiles that was sublime!

Randomly stumbled upon this cafe because we were traveling in the area and decided to stop by for a quick breakfast. There was a long line out the front so we assumed that this place was good...and it truly was! The highlight of this place is that everything tasted so fresh and healthy. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and we could tell the bread was freshly made. All the pastries hit the spot and weren't overly sweet. The true star of the show was the Mexican mocha...this was hands down the best mocha I've ever had. Even the kombucha was so fresh and delicious! There was live music when we visited so it was such a vibe to sit on the benches outside, enjoy the music, and take in the fresh air!

Very cute place. Our Meal was outstanding! Will come back every time I'm in town. It was that good.

I wish we can give them more than 5 stars, BEACHCOMBER is THE place to go back every time you can. Flavors, quality, service, variety, the vibe, peace, et, etc, etc... Top quality coffee and local ingredients! I can't wait to go back!

It's not the same for me once it switched hands. The scones, the food or the cappuccino was nothing like the last owners. I will miss it. But glad to see someone else take over to keep the spot alive. They do source high quality dairy which I appreciate.

Camped next door at Patrick Point State Park and thought we should explore outside the park. Yes, I should be cooking at camp but hey it's all for Yelp. Ordered the Fluffy cake and mocha. My other half had a latte. The cashier recommended the Fluffy cake and glad I agreed. It wasn't sweet which I personally prefer. They don't have paper cups for to go drinks, but you do have an option by purchasing a jar or bring your own cup. We opted to enjoy our drinks at the cafe so we were good to go. I highly recommend.

The owners/service, the food, and atmosphere are all lovely. As someone who has a lot of food allergies but doesn't want to compromise on flavor... this is the best spot in town to come to. I like how local nearly everything is! Definitely stop here and tip well to support their growing, beautiful family :)

Super friendly staff here with great breakfast/lunch food and baked goods. I love that they do not provide to-go cups; bring your own or buy a reusable mason jar. We got our Lox Special and panini to go and it came out on an egg carton! Everything was burnable, no plastic. Both items were delicious and reasonably priced compared to other cafes nearby. Also had a delicious blueberry scone. Dog friendly patio seating and live music when I was there Sunday morning.

This place is super cute. The owners are lovely. The coffee and food were both delicious! Would definitely recommend.

Oh my gosh! I was unaware this cafe had changed ownership! My friend and I went in there for coffee this morning, met the new owner, his staff and watched as plate after plate of gourmet looking lunches went by! We were in a rush, but will be back soon to eat! The coffee was delicious! Can't wait!

I tried the latte with lavender sweetener and it was pretty good. The star though was the peppermint mocha, I was sold from the first taste. It was delicious!!

An absolute gem in Trinidad. Delicious bagels and breakfast, best coffee in the region, friendly service and a couple charming outdoor seats. A perfect little cafe!

Good food and cozy atmosphere. Super nice employees. Gets busy during peak times. Perfect location between 101 and Trinidad State Beach and the lighthouse

Beachcomber is a cute little spot in Trinidad. We stopped by to grab breakfast and called before to place our takeout order. You interact with staff at a window and they do offer outdoor seating. We got the eggy (English muffin with cheese, avocado, and poached eggs) and granola and yogurt, plus a double mocha. They don't give out paper to go cups, so you can have them fill up a mug of yours for 50 cents or purchase a mason jar for $2 (I believe pre Covid they would provide a loaner mug if you were dining there). They are definitely aiming for sustainability as their to go packaging was made up of as many reusable/recyclable items as possible. I'm all for it! The food was good and the mocha was tasty as well. Service was super friendly and our order was ready when we arrived to pick it up. I'm bummed I didn't get to return before we left town! Definitely stop here if you are in the area and need a bite to eat.

This is a simply must stop and enjoy a fresh made to order breakfast. The service is slow, we easily waited 20 minutes or more both times we went but the food was worth the wait. We liked it so much after the first time we came back the next day. My husband loved the avocado toast, I indulged in the granola and fruit desert. This restaurant is also dog friendly which I appreciated since I was traveling with my dog.

Had brunch here twice. Really enioyed the lattes and especially the cream cheese bagel and lox!

I love the Beachcomber. As a local, I love their breakfast offerings and their tasty mimosas. Bonus points to their dog friendliness. They have fresh water and bowl on hand for dogs, and today when I had trouble accessing the spigot due to folks being seated next to it, the owner provided me with free water for my little dog (much appreciated after a long walk). Excellent food, and excellent customer service.

Excellent food, cappuccinos, and service. Darling location, cozy and friendly atmosphere. A fabulous gem. I recommend this wonderful place to everyone! 10+++++

We stopped by this cute cafe before heading to the Redwoods National Park. We love that the cafe is doing an amazing job observing the health protocols so we felt very safe dining in the little outdoor area. Service here was extremely friendly and welcoming. It instantly put me in a good mood even though it was so early in the morning. My sister and I both got the Griz. We loved the focaccia bread and the poached eggs were made perfectly. The portion size was also great. The don't offer any togo cups but you can get a cute mason jar for only $1.50! Highly recommend stopping by this cafe if you're in the area. My only regret was to not grab some baked goods on the way out!

Hands down best breakfast in town! And one of the best breakfasts I've ever had honestly. Their pumpkin latte was on point, frittata out of this world, and cute little jewelry in the window

I'm about to make a bold statement here my fellow Yelpers and here it goes - This is probably my favorite brunch place! I've been sitting here with my hubs trying to see if we've ever been to a brunch spot that tops this place, and we really couldn't think of one. Trust me, that says a lot coming from us because we've traveled like all around the world. This spot is totally my vibe and the food is truly AMAZING! It's a place I look forward to coming to every morning. What is so AMAZING? - The food is delish! There's gluten-free options and even the food that may not be so good for you, I don't feel bad for eating it because everything just seems to have something healthy in it. - The baked goods are super top notch! It's like they do something new everyday and even the day old goods, are heavenly. - They support the community and they believe in sustainability. For example, they don't provide to-go cups for your tea; instead, you can bring your own mason jar or buy one of theirs for the hot drinks on the go. - They have live music (I'd call for details on this first). - They have a bathroom. NOTE: It seems that the newest baked goods come out early and they sell fast. If you want to try one, I would recommend you come before 9:30am to beat the crowd. Believe me, you'll want to try one! I am just happy to have found this wonderful place. Beachcomber, you can bet that I'll be back again and again!

Very friendly folks. Excellent espresso. The chilaquiles leave something to be desired. They need to be soaked more. It felt like 80% of it was dry, seasoned tortilla chips, with a minimum of sauce on top. I was also disappointed they would not make the poached eggs into scrambled...something about needing a license to fry things. You're a brunch spot so...get the license! Scrambled eggs FTW!

The beachcomber cafe is wonderful! We spent the weekend in Trinidad and after stopping by on Saturday morning, knew we had to come back again on Sunday! The coffee is absolutely delicious, the owners are kind and welcoming and the ambience was perfect! I would highly recommend if you are in the Trinidad area.

The coffee was great! Serving Verve coffee. Very kind staff with excellent service! Big indoor and outdoor space for a coffee shop/cafe. Clean bathroom and cool aesthetic. Love the provision and support of local artists and food providers. The chai latte and cappuccino were spot on.

I stopped by recently after the new owners took over. They really made the place look nice! It's super cute inside, and the outdoor patio is awesome as usual. I really like the specials that the new owners are putting out. I had a good latte. I have to add that I was disappointed to see that they started using disposable/to go cups now. While I understand why the new owners would want to make the shift, I always loved and respected that Beachcomber had a bring your own cup policy. I'm still looking forward to many sunny day snacks and lunches on their patio though! Looking forward to trying their happy hour as well.

A true Humboldt Gem. Our first time here in a few years, the new owners are absolutely amazing. We came to try the food, and we were pleased with elevated food/drink from local sources. My matcha latte was amazing, her caramel latte was decadent. The Summer Caprese Sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I have had across all of Humboldt county. Matched with a wonderfully peaceful ambiance, you won't find a better place for some beachside serenity. We will be back.

Beachcomber Cafe sports a casual coastal vibe in bucolic Trinidad on California's northcoast in Humboldt County. Recently revamped under new ownership, Asia and Kasey Cather run the shop and greet their customers with a tasty and robust menu including a full list of coffee temptations and healthy & tasty breakfast and lunchtime treats. Too many to name here, but safe to say the menu offers numerous culinary options to suit protein imbibers and vegans alike. My choice of Mashed Avo Toast with pickled red onion, arugula, flaky sea salt capped with a lemon poached egg was savory and delish. I'm coming back - two thumbs up for a delightful place with an artful and tasty menu, not to mention some wonderful people.
