The best cafes in Ukiah

“Namasté Café keeps things local and organic with fresh, cold-pressed juices and smoothies built from real-deal produce, local honey, and therapeutic herbs. It’s a calm spot to trade ideas and breathe a little, plus the cozy studio upstairs hosts donation-based yoga and meditation classes when you need a reset.”

“Schat's Bakery & Cafe is that Ukiah standby where the ovens stay warm, the cinnamon rolls call your name, and the bread is worth planning lunch around. Three locations make it easy to swing by, order online, or bring cakes and catering to your next get-together.”

“Black Oak Coffee Roasters is the local roastery that keeps Ukiah caffeinated with dialed-in single origins, sturdy blends, and certified organic favorites like Meadow. Bonus points for the good karma, since their organic line sends 10% of profits to California State Parks Foundation.”
