I bought coffee every 6 weeks, for 20 years! It was the best coffee I had bought, for all the years. What happened? I have known Linda and Bob, for all the years! Hope to hear from you soon! I am almost out of good coffee! Call me D read more

If you are passionate about your coffee and don't like the sad, brown ash they sell at the supermarket (yes even the high-end snooty ones are ash). If you are a coffee aficionado and want to appreciate the complexities of the magical dark brew. If you have realized that nothing but the best, the very best will do in the morning; and that whatever else the rest of the peasantry drink is brown swill; then and only then will go here. Order online, order the beans, open the bag, and marvel at the jeweled tones of the dark amber, oily, beans. Your hands will smell of coffee and chocolate when you touch them and you wont want to wash your hands afterward. Grind the beans well (almost to a fine expresso grind), make a pot, and take your first sip. I guarantee you will never, ever, go back. Promise. Cross my heart. We have been customers for 8 years, and I have hesitated writing this review for 8 because I don't want to share the secret of why anyone who has coffee at our house goes into paroxysms of delight. Well, this is the reason. My top choices? The Columbian, if you like a dark yet fruity magical complexity. If you like subtle chocolatey overtones, I recommend the costa rican. read more

They carry the basic breakfast items and snacks, but stand out from similar cafes with a menu of good smoothies. I always come here for one whenever done at the nearby 24 Hour Fitness. Prices are reasonable for SOMA. A convenient stop along Second Street for workers and visitors staying at the nearby Marriott Courtyard, and there's always a short wait during mornings. It is the size of a kiosk and is strictly for to-go, and is located in the middle of the street block. read more

Chatz Roasting Company - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ceres, California

Pretty good spot for a quick cup of coffee. Rarely any line and they brew some good beans. The best thing about Chatz though may be their breakfast burritos. They are premade and warmed up in a m'wave to order....yet they are super-tasty. These burritos are also the most perfectly-sized breakfast burritos I've ever found. They come in chorizo, bean and maybe ham too. The sausage one is excellent. The burritos are a little bigger around than a tennis racquet grip. That may make 'em seem overly skinny, but they're not. Think of an oversized grip, for a big person. Like Djokovic, maybe. Or, how about a tall Red Bull can? The barrel of a standard whiffle ball bat? A good ol' Kenosha beef brat from somewhere west of the Loop? Basically, thinner than a normal Mission burrito and thicker than a BART handrail. Anyway, they're the perfect size. And they come with fresh salsa. Mmmmm...... read more

Chatz Roasting Company - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ceres, California

Chatz is a daily stop for me as I make my way up 2nd street on the commute to work. I really can't imagine starting off a work day without a large Foglifter (Good morning!), it may be too strong for some people but for me there's nothing better to kick starts the morning. On warmer days, their large Iced Coffee is my poison. MmmMmmmAhhh. Chatz also has a really great everything bagel, perfectly dense with the right seeds & seasonings, just like a NY bagel - I kid you not, being born & raised in NYC, it's very close. Get it with a shmear of cream cheese or all Bk-fasted up with an egg & swiss cheese. D'lish. read more

Chatz Roasting Company - Chatz Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ceres, California

Was excited to "save" money and come here for their $3 large drip coffee versus the $3.75/4 everywhere else in SOMA. Yet once there they hit me with the "50 cents for card charge" which made it as expensive as all the roasters without the quality. I'll be back to try the food, was just a bit annoyed. read more

This is my favorite coffee, I especially like the Artemus selection. Chatz makes small batches of many varieties of coffee at their roasting plant in Ceres California ( near Modesto). I order it online from them and they ship it usually within 3 days. Their coffee is strong and robust and I liked it so much, that I gave up Starbucks and Peet's both of which had been my favorite. read more

Breakfast and burritos - two great tastes that go great together. Fresh eggs, bacon, potatoes, melted cheese, and salsa all mushed together in delicious harmony in a hot tortilla wrap? How can you go wrong, right? Unfortunately, I discovered today that not all breakfast burritos are created equal. Chatz Roasting Company is a charming hole in the wall spot on 2nd St. @ Mission. And when I say "hole in the wall," I ain't exaggerating. This place is literally the size of a photo booth. I was amazed that two employees could squeeze in there. In any case, I digress. Chatz offers 3 or 4 varieties of breakfast burritos. One with bacon, a vegetarian option, and one with chilies. I wound up ordering the eggs & bacon burrito from the friendly lady behind the counter. Within 3 minutes, I was handed a piping hot burrito wrapped in tin foil with a side of salsa. While walking back to the office, I decided to dive in to my meal. Unfortunately, the burrito didn't really taste like anything. All the ingredients more or less tasted the same. And it wasn't until my 3rd or 4th bite that I realized that my bacon wasn't even fully cooked. I tried my best to salvage the burrito with a heavy dose of salsa. But it wasn't even real salsa. It was like the watery Pace Picante stuff you buy at Safeway. After a few more bites, I finally gave up on my meal. By this point, I was already back in the office. So it was too late to go back and complain and/or request a replacement. At the end of the day, wasting $5 on a mediocre breakfast burrito isn't the end of the world. Maybe these guys were just having an off day. Maybe their breakfast burritos are usually da bomb. What ever the case, it's going to be a while before I come back for some morning grub. read more

If you like burnt coffee, this is the place for you! Ordered my usual latte - $4.00 for 3 shots The milk was watery, the coffee to milk ratio was way off & the coffee itself was burnt & shudder-inducing upon each sip Trying to doctor up this cuppa back at the office w/ full-on heavy cream couldn't even save this baby But being the caffeine addict I am, couldn't throw it out & since I was stuck in an all-morning meeting....choked it down Shuddering all the way One & done! read more

I absolutely HATE cold weather, so I'm dreading winter. But I know I can take comfort here with the M E X I C A N H O T C H O C O L A T E! I can't vouch for the sandwiches and bagels, but their mocha's are also pretty tasty. Service is okay, but they make up for it with being speedy and efficient! read more

Good coffee, better than SB's Morning pastries, oat cakes, bagels and juices Perfect afternoon break/caffeine refuel Open until 5pm, Friendly service, tiny spot, cheap Sweet and simple, just like Chatz! read more

Don't be fooled by their size, they manage to offer more than SB and have better coffee and better service. They don't take debit cards but they offered to let me come back and pay later. That is great service. I only go about once a week and to offer that made me compelled to come and write my first Yelp review. Their breakfast sandwiches are good and so are their yogurt cups with fresh fruit and granola. Pastries always look fresh as well. read more

I needed good coffee and was happy to hear they roast their own. If you're in the area I'd definitely recommend it as a coffee to go. That is all. And that is all I needed. read more

I tried this place for the first time today and was disappointed. Chatz is one of those places where you order a latte and after they put in the espresso, with no regard for proper ratios, they just fill your cup up leaving you with way too much foam and milk. I honestly expected better because I see people lined up here almost every time I walk by on my way to work. read more

I visited a client in the area so before my appointment, I decided to grab some breakfast so that my stomach wouldn't growl during my visit. I ordered a bacon burrito and a can of guava juice. The burrito was yum! - the flavors were melded together so tastily, and they give you salsa in a small container. Awesome!! I poured a little bit of salsa per bite, and it was a great combination - yum!! I also like the guava juice. Service was friendly and smiley - that always makes mornings so nice. Thank you - it was the best breakfast burrito I've had! :) read more

I love this place because it's close to my 12 Folsom stop, the coffee is good, the bagels are fresh and good, and the folks are friendly. But man, they always seem frazzled or busy or something, and have screwed up my order 3 times. I love you guys, but how did you get 'sprouts and cream cheese' from 'jalapeno spread'? read more

Scents astounding! The proprietor has been doing business for quite a while so is very educated and sweet. Sets aside some effort to clarify the assortments, and she has a great deal. Her strategy for broiling is unrivaled since it leaves the espresso less acidic, which is better for you! Smart thought to call previously. Certainly worth looking at! read more

Coffee is great and the people who work there are just so happy and friendly, it's a pleasure to see them each morning! The bagels are good, too, and that's saying something, coming from a former New Yorker. :) read more

I like to switch it up with Chatz once in a while when I go get coffee in the morning. I usually like good coffee places especially those that give me a discounted price for my coffee for bringing in my own cup. Chatz fills both criteria as they gave me my large coffee for the size of a medium. That's more than the 10 cents I usually save at Starbucks...sorry Starbucks maybe you could try doing the same thing. I haven't gotten food from them before but they are already worth a spot in my coffee rotation due to their quick service and convenient location. read more

I must confess that I am not a Chatz regular as it is a detour from my usual route to work, but I come here for those special occasions, like Friday. They are always really friendly and efficient. I love the fact they are independant and take up so little room. The drinks are good and the baked goods (muffins, bagels, pastries, scones) are different - some are amazing! This place really cannot be compared to a coffee shop, as there is no shop, but it exudes it's own charm. Four stars. Update - My friend turned me on to their Cubano espresso drink. For those occassions when caffeine is required, the Cubano is the preferred instrument. And with their lovely espresso roast, it cannot be bettered. Of course, try asking for a Cubano elsewhere and you are likely to be greeted with blank stares. Plus one star for Chatz! read more

Y'know, for a hole in the wall on the street of an office building, this place ain't so bad. You can get any of your standard breakfast staples and be on your way. There's rarely a long wait and the people who work there are super nice and attentive. Their bagels were described by a New York transplant colleague as reminiscent of home, if that tells you anything. read more

Hey, they're open again! Seems to be the same people working, minus the previous renter/manger ("the coot", as Jeff put it) who's now around the corner at the Snack Depot (and occasionally in front of Chatz harassing people.. how classy). Decent (though not brilliant) espresso, and I like the fact that this place does coffee and little else. Also, they now have Mexican hot chocolate. read more

Excellent iced coffee. Average pastries, good bagels, and the cheese baguette is not bad. Brewed coffee is okay. Too much cream cheese on my under toasted bagel. read more

I haven't tried the coffee here, but I can vouch for their delicious sandwiches! They recently stopped serving bagels in the afternoon (boo) and added toasted sandwiches to their menu. Sandwiches come in about six different combos, but they're pretty flexible with substitutions/additions. I personally like to order their veggie sandwich with hummus :D. What's MOST impressive about this place , though, is their cleanliness and organization! Seriously, they keep the place so tidy, all the ingredients are organized, and they recently replaced some of their equipment. read more

Worse lox bagel ever. It made me want to throw up. There's practically no lox in it! Ugh. Waste of $10. The mexican hot chocolate is whatever. read more

Chatz Roasting Company - Lox bagel with onion bagel.. $10 for this piece of shit and a small mexican mocha. There's no lox in there at all!! Wtf - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Ceres, California

Worth being late for work for. After walking by this little hole-in-the-wall on my way to work for a couple months (and almost always seeing a handful of people lined up) I decided to try it out. Their menu comes complete with really good bagels (unlike Starbucks, they can actually toast them), fuits, a basic menu of espresso drinks, and some tasty-looking pastries. Their espresso is far from ideal, but overall prices are pretty cheap ($1.50 for a bagel), and it's quick and convenient. I'm usually out of there in under five minutes. The employees have always been friendly and efficient as well. read more

I work close to this location and was happy to support a local coffee company and not one of the big coffee players. I have a rule that I don't drink coffee outside of my home. I rarely need it and don't need to spend the extra $ on it. Once every few months I NEED a double espresso over ice in the middle of the day. I ordered my double-espresso over ice from Chatz several times. $2.50, perfect. Same price as Starbucks. THEN, one day the gentleman behind the counter decides to charge me $3.00 for my beverage even though the menu states $2.50. "The extra .50 for the ice and the cup." I guess if I had ordered a regular hot double-espresso, he would have served it to me directly from the machine without a cup? If that's not the case, then he charged me .50 for a few ice cubes. That was just wrong. No mention of such a charge on the menu. Mr. Chatz server, please watch this video. "Just given 'em the pickle" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISJ1V8vBiiI read more

I like this place. When I am walking to work it's a quick stop to get a great cup of coffee and breakfast to go. The breakfast burrito with pork is really good and my goto $8 bucks. No lines. In my book this place is solid. read more

Two words: hot chocolate. The coffee is fine, but the hot chocolate rocks. They make it with real cocoa powder (not that nasty corn syrup stuff they use at other not-to-be-named coffee places). I like to have this with something from their selection of fresh fruit, yogurt, bagels, or other baked goods. To top it off, the service is very friendly. read more

Coffee is great. Small house roast is perfect. This morning I decided to give their breakfast burrito a run. Eggs, bacon, potatoes, cheese, salsa - $5.75. Thought, can't hurt to try. Truly the worst burrito of any type I've had in my whole life. I've had a variety of frozen burritos growing up, and they all had more flavor and personality. Of course I ate it, because it was tiny and I was hungry, but dang. Lacking flavor and couldn't tell the ingredients apart. Bacon was mediocre/meager, potatoes not crisp of flavored well, eggs were watery scrambled. The tortilla... was oddly transparent and had an off texture. Salsa helped it go down. Walked by the crepe shack and saw a ham, egg, and cheese crepe for 7$. Will give that a go next time, but will not order another burro from Chatz. Coming back for the coffee though! read more

Small storefront with quick service and excellent coffees. Breakfast sandwiches and burritos are worth a stop! Friendly, smiling staff.

The coffee is good here. Decided to venture out from Peets and I was pleasantly surprised. The coffee is just as tasty and cheaper. I've never tried the other breakfast goodies but they must be good bc I see people ordering them all the time. I'll give them a whirl one day and report back. Oh and the their customer service is great. They're always super friendly even in the morning. read more

Two reasons for this review: 1. Despite what the picture shows, they are very much open. 2. I'm glad they are, because their breakfast smoothie is delicious. read more

THE GOOD -Excellent Mexican Hot Chocolate THE BAD - Well, their coffee. There was something rather strange about it. Kind of bitter with a slight taste on windex or something. My co-worker said the same thing a couple weeks before. I didn't believe him. He was right. I'll probably go back and order a Mexican hot chocolate and get some generic coffee from starbucks or something to add it to make a Mexican mocha. read more

I come here a lot for breakfast, but I have recently found my experiences to be inconsistent. They've gotten my bagel order wrong multiple times, to which I don't realize until I'm back at my office. The people working are very kind, but it would be nice to have my jalapeño bagel/chive cream cheese like I ordered, instead of being surprised with an onion bagel/plain cream cheese. read more

Fast. Strong coffee. Toasted bagels. The total of the two under $3.50.

GREAT veggie bagel sandy! with hummus? with cream cheese? both are 5 stars!

I've been wanting to check this place out for the longest time and I finally did it today. Although people rave this place of their coffee, I was in mood for some Mexican Hot Chocolate. And what an EXCELLENT choice that was!! It was so good! It's actually HAND-MIXED and it has a perfect amount of sweetness to it. I like my drink HOT, and indeed it was. Small size for $2.75. I also wanted to try their famous bagels, but they were all sold out. I went there a little bit after 11am so I guess it's understandable. I'll be back to try some coffee and bagels next time! read more

Had their small iced mocha at 8:30am and I nearly threw up 2 hours later because their coffee made me feel awful. Haven't been able to rally the entire day. If you want to go home sick, go to Chatz. Unfortunately it just so happens to be a Friday today. read more

Once, the girl looked at me like I was insane for asking if they had egg sandwiches. Their bagels are pretty good, but they never, EVER have the cream cheese I want. I give up. read more
