Equilateral Coffee

Not sure if was the coffee or if the girl taking orders is always that bubbly but I genuinely enjoyed her enthusiasm. Blended lavender latte - perfect for today's scorcher and chef salad was also very lovely. I will be a regular here. Thanks for the great experience! No pictures as this was my first meal of the day and it was already 1pm. So...yeah scarfed it down lol next time

This was my first and, unfortunately, last visit to Stoble Coffee Shop in Chico…read more I was the only customer standing in line, and there were four employees behind the counter. I stood there for approximately 5-7 minutes without being acknowledged, greeted, or even told that someone would be with me shortly. Finally, I said, "Excuse me, is this still the line to order?" The employee, whose name I believe was Emil (or Amil), very coldly responded, "Yeah, but as you can see, I'm busy," while he was working with one of the coffee machines. I told him that he could have simply said, "Good morning," or acknowledged me. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and showed no concern whatsoever about how I had been treated. As a woman of color in an environment where everyone else appeared to be white, I found the experience extremely uncomfortable and felt unwelcome. I cannot speak to his intentions, but the way I was treated made me question whether I was being treated differently because of my race. It would have taken two seconds to say, "Good morning, we'll be right with you." Instead, I was ignored for several minutes and then spoken to in a dismissive and unapologetic manner. Customer service and basic courtesy should apply to everyone. Unfortunately, this was a very unpleasant first experience, and I will not be returning.

Bidwell Perk absolutely nailed it. Everyone working there was genuinely friendly and provided excellent customer service. They clearly use high-quality beans, and as someone who drinks coffee black and is admittedly a bit of a coffee snob, that matters. I also grabbed a ginger snap cookie, and it was everything I hoped for: perfectly gingery without being overpowering, soft, and wonderfully chewy. We were only there briefly (mostly due to the prompt service) since we were just passing through on our way home, but if we'd had more time, I would've happily lingered and enjoyed the space. I'll definitely stop here again the next time I'm in the area.

I went in to work on some projects while I waited for my wife who had an appointment nearby. The place had sufficient space for me and my laptop and the workers did not seem to mind me working. I had their mushroom quiche, a peanut butter cookie, and an iced matcha. The matcha was refreshing and sweet - that's exactly how I like it. The peanut butter cookie was soft and sweet and almost gooey but not. There were a few crumbles which I like. The star of the show for me was the quiche. I almost bought another one but I had to stay in control hahaha. All in all, a great experience, a great place for all people to go, and amazing food and service.

My only regret is that I did not leave with a bottle of Chico chai to bring home. The next time we visit, we will definitely be bringing back at the very least a gallon.

I moved to Paradise in the summer of 2024, and for about a year and a half I could not find a coffee joint that was both convenient and a local enterprise I could feel good about supporting. I don't recall the first time I entered Lofi, because by the time they re-opened I had somehow already integrated the morning visit into my regular routine. I can't tell you about the individual drinks, because I've tried each and every combination the guys behind the counter have to offer, or near enough. I can tell you that Jared, Garret, and everyone else in the family involved with Lofi are some of the best people you could ask for to provide the kind of neighborhood center a town still in the throes of reconstruction like Paradise desperately needs. I am moving away from Paradise today, but I'll miss the times spent as (often) the very first customer of the day. Thank you Lofi!
