The Big Blue Cafe - Arcata

Nice lunch of breakfast sandwich and chowder. Great coffee.

This was a good find on a random Monday morning. The Eggs Benedict was really good.

We were greated at the door and seated promptly. It took a long, long time for someone to take our order. Then it took 40 min to get one French Dip Sandwich. No one ever gave us a bill. I kindly asked the hostess for a take out box. She told me.she was too busy getting tables ready and would give me a box later. There was no one waiting for a seat... She had boxes right at her finger tips and walked past me 5 or 6 times. I went up to pay. No one was at the register. I picked up my own take out box and left the appropriate money plus a tip for our server. The food was good. The wait time and hostess was very poor.

The breakfast was so good, the server was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.

Nice sandwiches. Highly recommend the ginger garlic potatoes.
