ACH YEAR AS WE GO TO PRESS WITH THE PRINT EDITION OF

Menu of Menus magazine, local independent (non-chain) restaurants are opening and closing. They are moving, reinventing themselves or they are so popular they are opening a second location. We can update the North Coast Journal’s powerful new website as the restaurant scene morphs, but if you are holding the 2013 print edition of Menu of Menus in your hands, this is a snapshot of the Humboldt County restaurant scene taken in June.

So what’s happening? Let’s start with Trinidad. There are as always, great fish and chips or an open-faced oyster sandwich at the Seascape Restaurant by the water.

What’s new is the gorgeous rebuilt pier you can take a stroll on after you eat. The new “food news” is uphill. The Trinidad Eatery closed last year in September and the property sold. The good news is former operators, Steve Musick and Karen Gorick, are reopening with the same menu including their signature clam chowder and blackberry pie. Farther uphill, the old Catch Café has been expanded, remodeled and reopened as the Lighthouse Grill. It’s getting a lot of buzz, especially from families. The fare is sandwiches, burgers, real hand-cut French fries and homemade ice cream. What’s the signature dish? Mashed potatoes and gravy served in a savory waffle cone.

Moving south, the big news in McKinleyville is sushi — good sushi — at the Sushi Spot in the McKinleyville Shopping Center.

4 NORTH COAST JOURNAL • MENU OF MENUS 2013

It’s a spin-off from Arcata’s 9th Street location. Try the “Moonstone Beach” roll.

Seriously.

The Mongolian Grill is now open off Samoa Boulevard in Arcata, across from the V&N Burger Bar. This is a very affordable restaurant brought to you by the same guys who operate the Masaki’s Kyoto in Eureka. Mongolian grills have been around for a long time, but this is a first in HumCo. Diners fill up a ceramic bowl with Asian cabbage, bok choy, carrots, celery, onion and peppers, and add thinly sliced beef, chicken, pork (prawns, scallops, Kobe beef extra), plus dippers of various sauces. The bowl is handed to the chef who cooks it all up on a big, flat grill. Yum! Also in Arcata a new wine bar, called Crush, in the Pythian Castle on the corner of 11th and H streets, serving small plates (deviled eggs, charcuterie). A few blocks away is Robert Goodman Wines. Goodman began serving seasonal farm-to-table dinners in October, both small plates and full dinners.

(Think spring greens all the way through the seasons to locally grown roasted root veggies.) Goodman says the sweet potato gnocchi and scallop specials are big. Dinner is served in the tasting room now, but a full dining room will be opened by fall, named after the historic complex, Humboldt Machine Works. For light lunches, the warren of buildings includes an organic juice bar around the corner called Humboldt Juice Works.

The biggest news south of Eureka has got to be the rebirth of the iconic Parlato’s restaurant on Main Street in Fortuna. Beverley Wolfe (of Avalon fame) says she is doing her best to make a comfortable, welcoming restaurant for all Fortunans. Yes, a steakhouse-and-drinks kind of place tentatively called Main Street Steaks. “We’re even going to have some barbecues in the parking lot.” Also in Fortuna, the Sushi Boat — all you can eat Chinese buffet with floating boats of sushi a constant temptation.

Finally, the Angelina Inn recently reopened after eight years. How could such an icon be vacant that long? Well, it’s a long tale about a new property owner wanting to do something other than a restaurant (OK, a Renner’s cardlock station), and that idea not flying with the California Coastal Commission. So along comes Bill Thorington. After a lot of elbow grease on the 1933 art deco building, the Inn is reopened and the focus is on fresh, from scratch, organic.

“We’ve even got fresh, live oysters. We’ll shuck them for you.” And Bill is a baker by hobby and now by trade, so yes, he is really doing the baking.

I’m sure we’ve left a lot of restaurant news out. Please send your news to editor@ northcoastjournal.com.

The Humboldt Coffee Challenge

C

OFFEE. IT IS FUEL FOR THE SUNRISE AND MIDNIGHT OIL

for inspiration. It is the power behind the Humboldt job shuffle.

It makes the North Coast’s hazy summers a little less gray, makes every morning brighter, stronger. Coffee is like liquid sunlight imported from Guatemala. It warms and grants that extra oomph to get up and get ’er done.

These images persevere as I strap on the helmet and begin the pursuit for java. The one person Humboldt bike tour is on! In order to get it going and keep it going, it has got to be fueled with continuous endurance and imagination. That would be coffee. Not just any coffee, but rich, organic, locally ground and brewed to perfection. This is non-negotiable.

If you are wondering if bikes and coffee go together. Yes! Just ask the folks at Kinetic

Koffee. They’ve been roasting in Arcata since 2005, making blends with cyclists in mind.

They do one for Revolution Bikes in Arcata, popular among HumCo cyclists and available in local grocery stores. The buzz carries a lot further. Kinetic can be found in Steve’s Bike Shop in Panama City, Florida and New York City’s NYC Belo Cycle Shop. Kinetic Koffee knows cycling and coffee make a perfect match. Add an out-of-the-oven, local organic pastry to that and you’ve hit the trifecta of tasty energy adventure. Ready for the Humboldt Coffee Challenge? Three Saturdays, one Friday, thirteen coffee shops, five roasters and off we go. Lotsa sweets and treats. Let’s go!

First Saturday

Arcata to Trinidad to McKinleyville and back Get up, grind and brew a pot of Muddy Waters Crossroads, an eclectic blend of Central, South American, African and Sumatran beans. It’ll boldly get you going and focused on the ride ahead. This ride will take most of the day, especially if you want to snap pictures and socialize with cyclists.

Fun-fact: Know that 10-day late summer Northern Nevada, blazing desert art-altie fest? Since 2000, Muddy Water’s has been the sole coffee seller at Burning Man. Yup, all that playa java, more than 3,000 pounds of it, humbly began in Humboldt.

With helmet, gloves, water, pocket money and camera, it’s rolling. To ride from Arcata to Trinidad to McKinleyville and back to Arcata, in one day, a shot of espresso is necessary and a golden delicious fruity tart assists in

BARISTA BRIAN WOLDA OF CAFÉ BRIO.

getting sufficiently pumped. A stop at Café Brio on the Arcata Plaza, before 9 a.m. on a Saturday beats the Farmer’s Market madness.

Brio brews and serves organic Blue Bottle coffee one cup at a time. (North Coast Journal readers voted it Humboldt’s Best Cup, 2011.) Need an extra treat for the road? A Brio fresh fruit tart is highly recommended.

Out of Arcata and through the Bottoms.

The gentle buzz of bike tires on pavement match that of coffee coursing through the veins. Wide-eyed calves peer through wire fences. Barn dogs holler, bark and race.

Over the Mad River Bridge and onto the Hammond Trail, past Hiller Park and on and on, paralleling Highway 101 to Clam Beach.

Gotta stop! This is where Hammond Trail ends, a perfect moment to breathe, stretch, look out and enjoy the rolling, crashing blue Pacific. Gotta munch on that Brio tart because next is the big, big hill up 101 to Westhaven Exit. That hill’s a real climb.

Maybe shoulda grabbed two of those tarts… dang, next time.

Not to worry. Once off the highway and onto Scenic Drive it’s time to catch one’s breath, snap some shots of this timeless vista, then roll into Trinidad and hit up the

Historic Coffeehouse Espresso Drinks Bagels Biscuits & Gravy BIKE WEST END ROAD FROM BLUE LAKE TO ARCATA FOR A SCENIC RIDE.

Beachcomber Café at 363 Trinity Street just in time for lunch.

According to Beachcomber Café lore, “there are no paper cups.” For reals, they don’t serve ‘em. Beachcomber does serves up some tasty, bike-positive lunch fare. The Hippie Sandwich is a hit on Brio focaccia with homemade hummus, Larrupin’ sauce, avocado, carrots, beets and lettuce. Their organic produce comes from local farms like Green Fire and Little River. They also serve Signature Organic coffee, locally roasted in Redway. A small mug of Signature’s singleorigin Guatemalan packs enough oomph to get back in the saddle and embrace the hour ride to McKinleyville.

It’s back to Scenic Drive, down the 101 to Hammond Trail and into McKinleyville where the Sweet Spot at 1300 Hiller Road beckons for an afternoon ice cream scoop.

They get lots of cyclists on Saturdays, especially if it’s sunny. The espresso milkshake is totally worth the wait and they can make it decaf. After this recharge, it’s less than an hour’s ride back to Arcata. Back in town in time to say ‘hi’ to Kimberly at Couple Cups on 1603 G Street. She serves Kinetic Coffee, too, and has her own very light espresso blend especially for her. It’s super smooth in a mocha, made with decaf this time to ensure a good night’s rest.

Second Saturday

Arcata to Blue Lake and Back This ride’s best made in the morning and takes between an hour and an hour and a half. With slitted eyes, brew up your own pot of Humboldt Bay Coffee Roaster’s ‘Blast-Off’. It’s a sure-fire morning charge.

Now it’s out the door before 8:30 a.m., cruising West End Road to the very end, making a left for Blue Lake, on a direct route to Stardough’s Café at the corner of H and Railroad by 10:30 a.m. Why?

and homemade with a blend of mozzarella, cheddar and provolone. The locals eat it up! Also, on Saturday mornings owner Dana Hudson roasts his own coffee, a fun activity attracting neighbor kids, Dell’Arte students and Arcata cyclists. Enjoy beautiful West End Road and sunny, quirky Blue Lake. A camera is must!

Third Saturday

Arcata to Eureka to Fortuna and the Bus Skip brewing anything at home and head immediately to Coffee Break in Bayside and get there by 8 a.m. because this day has a lot of riding! New owner Michelle Greenway bought the cafe in July 2012 and has been steadily revamping it. She serves Kinetic Koffee and bakes the pastries herself. Locals rave about her walnut cinnamon scones and chocolate lover’s muffins. During the school year, Jacoby Creek and Sunny Brae Middle School students slurp up blended drinks and ice cream. Grab a scone and pour anything Kinetic from the air-pots, then climb on the saddle and free wheel to Eureka via Old Arcata Road for a ride of bucolic bliss, petting horses and taking pictures.

Ah, Ramone’s Bakery and Café, with locations in Eureka, McKinleyville, Wildberries Marketplace and Pierson’s Building Center, they’re a Humboldt institution, local since 1981. From Old Arcata Road (Myrtle Avenue) pedals find their way to Ramone’s at 2297 Harrison Avenue across from St. Joseph Hospital. The café roasts its own coffee and serves a tasty array of sweets and savories like truffles, scones, stuffed breads, fresh salads, grab-n-go sandwiches. Their tomato mozzarella baguette with pesto, spicy mustard and basil is well suited for this twowheeled adventure. Wolf down half now and with much self-control, save the rest for later. Not too much self control though because one must pair a chocolate truffle with a cup of Ramone’s House Blend. Feeling sated, yet energized, it’s on to Eureka and down to Old Town.

On to 211 F Street where Old Town Coffee and Chocolates offers some of the funkiest of Old Town culture. Lead roaster George Watson prepares their beans. Owners Cathy Kunkler and Gail Mentink make all the fudge. Their mochas are tops among dark chocolate aficionados — smooth, bold, not too sweet and for pedaling fuel a waffle with mixed berry topping is perfect.

The biscuits and gravy also pack a punch. Before heading out of Eureka, check out the boardwalk and if really ambitious, pedal up to Sequoia Park Zoo, 3414 W Street, where they serve Old Town Coffee & Chocolates too!

Heading out of Eureka, make a quick stop at Gold Rush Coffee. Doing coffee in Petrolia since 1980, Gold Rush is Humboldt’s most established coffee roaster. The staff is super friendly and fast.

Grab a Vellutini pastry and slug down a cup of Hotel California. Then make sure you’ve got water, treats and that your helmet ‘s secure. You’re ready for Highway 101 and at least an hour of riding to the Tompkins Hill exit, past College of the Redwoods, the Swiss Hall, across Highway 101, left onto Eel River Drive and into Loleta.

The Loleta Bakery at 348 Main Street, Loleta, is one of Humboldt’s best kept cycling secrets, a real pedal braving the highway and all, but wow, what a treat once you’re here. On weekends dedicated cyclists are committed to the bakery’s local coffee offerings and fresh pastries. The Bakery serves Gold Rush Coffee’s Sumatra Blend. Particularly popular are lemon tarts made daily with farm-fresh eggs, freshsqueezed lemon juice and flaky homemade crust. Take a load off and rest a bit. Talk to cyclists. Learn where they’ve ridden, where they’re headed. Play chess, too. Before you

know it, you’ll be sharing a piece of fresh veggie quiche with a new biking buddy, making plans for next weekend’s adventure.

Back to Eel River Drive, to Fernbridge Drive, back to Highway 101 for a few miles and to the Fortuna Main Street exit.

Once in Fortuna head over to Shotz Coffee at 1665 Main Street. You will have earned the largest Ice Cream Rush they have, all 24 ounces and then some. What’s an Ice Cream Rush? It’s vanilla or Oreo ice cream blended with two shots of espresso — 50 cents for each additional shot. They’re all the rage among Fortuna High School students and a perfect indulgence after riding from Arcata to Fortuna.

Catch the 5:11 p.m. bus at the Redwood Village Shopping Center in Fortuna to get back to Arcata by 6:30 p.m. And sleep really, really well.

Treats is a favorite stop for bicyclists heading down Highway 101.

Come on, do this! Ride to Eureka and catch the Southern Humboldt Intercity Weekday transit line at 4th and D Streets, 8:55 a.m. Friday morning. Check out Humboldt from the bus, meet new folks, contemplate, read a book, relax. You and your bike will make the Dean Creek Resort stop 10:33 a.m.-ish. From there bike all around Southern Humboldt and check the vistas. In Redway, stop in Signature Organic Coffee at 3455 Redwood Drive in Redway and get a cup from the source. Karyn Lee-Thomas and her crew roast at this location and have been in the coffee biz since 1988. The Benbow Inn blend has a following from all over the country and local radio station KHUM has a blend named in its honor. Do say “hi” to these folks. They are super eco-groovy and bike-friendly. They’re an official stop on the 2013 California Climate Ride.

Check out Café Bella at 3082 Redwood Drive. They serve Gold Rush coffee and barista Teri McCall has earned a rep as far away as McKinleyville for her gluten-free sour cream coffee cake. According to one Fed-Ex delivery guy, he bought a cake to take to his family, it was so delicious, he only got one slice. SoHum locals also rave about Terri’s chocolate macaroons.

In Garberville you have a few coffee options: Treats, Flavors and Getti Up DriveThrough. Treats’ spotlight drink is the Alaskan Highways, espresso poured over ice cream and topped with whipped cream and crushed waffle cone. Summertime cyclists in particular stop by for shakes before heading on down Highway 101. It might not be local or organic, but the Red Bull Blue Vanilla Milkshake is tops with the kids. Some cyclists like it, too. Try one of these chiller energy concoctions, get back in the saddle and pedal quick-like to Dean Creek Resort to catch the 6:24 p.m. bus to be back to Eureka by 8 p.m.

We revere coffee. Much like we cherish our dazzling outdoors. On the beach, in the mountains and through the redwoods we run, hike, camp, climb, kayak and bike. Humboldt’s a coffee lover’s caffeine junction and it’s a temple for outdoor adventure. Humboldt is home to at least 10 local roasters and almost 70 places to buy and experience an artisan cup. It would take another month of Saturdays and more to visit all of them.

And you know what? It’s just a cup of coffee away.

The dinner menu is crafted with quality, local ingredients, from local grass-fed beef and free-range chicken, to cage-free duck eggs and Humboldt Creamery butter.

We have daily seafood specials and a rotating selection of our chef’s menu favorites, Georgia Fried Chicken, Moroccan Spiced Pork Tenderloin, and Wild Mushroom Risotto and house cured wild Alaskan Steelhead gravlax, to name a few.

We also have a number of small plates, appetizers, and specialtiy pizzas - traditional and unique perfect to “fill in the corners.”

Our quest for dining excellence

began more than 27 years ago when we first planted a flower and vegetable garden for culinary purposes. We were always taught the importance of raising your own fresh produce and bringing it to life in the kitchen. What we don’t raise ourselves, we’re always searching for among the best of our local purveyors (which we are lucky to have so many of in Humboldt County). This garden-to-table philosophy is a constant source of inspiration for our culinary team.

Homemade, organic, super premium ice creams and sorbets.

FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOUR DESSERT. We use only the highest quality ingredients, local and seasonal when available.

Twelve rotating flavors at a time including two dairy-free options... a sorbet and a coconut or nut milk based flavor.

Our all organic product is made fresh in the shop every night with healthful ingredients such as Straus Family Creamery, produce from local family farms, and chocolate crafted from bean to bar right here in Arcata.

Of course we always have the traditional favorites on hand, but you may like to try our more unusual flavors... jalapeño, avocado, apple pie, Earl Grey or the wildly popular salted caramel.

The super fresh waffle cones are made all day, and you don’t have to be a kid to get a kid cone.

We hope to see you in our shop.
