Alright, breakfast lovers, this oneâs for youâif youâre waking up in Eureka and craving a place that feels like home but tastes like heaven, then Cloneyâs CafĂ© is calling your name, and trust me, you better answer. Tucked in the charming Henderson Center neighborhood just a few minutes from downtown, Cloneyâs isnât flashyâitâs the kind of spot locals have been hitting for decades because itâs just that good. You know a place is legit when youâve got construction workers, college kids, grandmas, and local artists all piling in for the same pancake fix, all while the servers already know their order before they sit down. This is Eurekaâs go-to for morning fuel, comfort food, and âhowâs-your-mom-doingâ vibes, and we love that for them.
đł Hereâs what makes Cloneyâs CafĂ© the real breakfast MVP:
â Coffee that comes in strong and hotâand refills before you even ask
đ„ Massive plates of breakfast classicsâbacon, eggs, pancakes the size of your head, and their wildly popular country-fried steak
đł Customizable everythingâseriously, theyâll swap, sub, and remix any dish to fit your mood or dietary needs
đ§ Cinnamon rolls so fresh and gooey they should probably be illegal
đŹ A crew that treats you like familyâwhether itâs your first visit or your fiftieth
Locals swear by the ham and eggs combo and the corned beef hash, but donât sleep on the veggie omelets eitherâsuper fresh, stuffed, and dripping with flavor. Itâs not some trendy cafĂ© with avocado toast named after coastal townsâthis is straight-up comfort food made with love, and you feel it in every bite. The decor? Old-school, cozy, with just enough retro charm to remind you of simpler times. Regulars post up with their morning paper, and out-of-towners walk in as strangers and leave with a recommendation for a beach hike or redwood drive from a waitress who knows every inch of Humboldt County.
đșïž Whatâs Around? Glad You Asked
After you eat, walk off that food baby with a little stroll around the Henderson Centerâgrab a second coffee at Humboldt Bay Coffee Company, browse local boutiques, or head to Sequoia Park Zoo just a few minutes away. And if you're road-tripping through the coast, Cloneyâs is the perfect fuel-up stop before heading into the redwoods or cruising the Lost Coast.
đŻ Pro Tip: Weekends get packed by 9 AM. Show up early, slide into a booth, and let that steamy mug of coffee set the tone for your Humboldt day.
