Mosgo's Coffee House

I frequent here and would say it is my "go to" spot, aside from The Plaza, and definitely my go to for coffee, since it's currently a 10 minute wheelchair ride from my house. The staff very friendly, particularly Garrett. That guy deserves a raise. 👍🏼👍🏼 They type of people that are friendly and make you look forward to your next visit, and are easygoing and puts me at ease despite my problematic social anxiety. 😆 Don't worry, I am seeing a therapist and working though it. Haha. Kidding but also not kidding. 😆

I've been coming here for a couple years now, and it is always a treat. The coffee is quality, the food is great, and the customer service is perfect. It is a good place to sit down and work (good wifi), meet up with friends, or even chill solo. Usually plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor. They are always nice, and have a rotating special board for keeping things fresh.

This is my GO-TO coffee shop in Arcata. The staff is always SUPER friendly, I have never had a bad experience with them. The shop has a super relaxed vibe with chill music; I used to go there to study when I was in school. All that being said, I would not recommend going here if you're in a hurry (unless you order a drip) because the service is very slow. It seems that every time I go in, there is at least one new-ish person working that is still in training and a lot of times, the baristas make one drink at a time. In addition, the baristas sometimes get chatty with customers, so they tend to slow down a bit. I usually have to order my coffee extra hot to get it (what I would consider) normal coffee temp. It may not be super hot, but they also never mess up my order, which is nice. There sandwiches are good, too. Would recommend.

Up here on a work trip for a few weeks and this became the spot for me. Not only do they have oat milk as an alternative but you can taste the quality and experience in their beverages. I've tried a lot of local spots and all have their quirks but Mosgo's for me is quite awesome. This definitely isn't your average generic coffee house.
