    Do yourself a favor and come here. Donuts are fresh especially in the morning, take a seat and have a morning coffee before work.

    Quite possibly the best donut in the world. The glazed chocolate dipped can't be beat. I would not get a donut anywhere else.

    Not impressed. Got a glazed Maple, glazed old fashioned and a chocolate cake. The glazed donut was extra greasy.

    Visited September 10 2026. See my receipt as always…read more This is another cool brewery and restaurant! They have indoor and outside seating. Because it was alittle hot outside we were able to eat indoors with my well behaved pup! We shared the Korean pork ribs which were slightly crispy and flavorful! Very good choice! We also had a hazy beer and I had a glass of wine. That get very busy as soon as the doors open at 11am! For some reason my puppy seemed a bit scared of the noise so we packed up the food and left. Cailyn was very kind and understood my dog wasn't having it and needed to leave! It's a fun place with a great menu!

    I was so surprised at the beauty of the Building and the brewery equipment. Then I entered the…read morerestaurant and first of all, the service was amazingly good. Khya took the best care of us. We were easy - same exact dish and drinks for us both and she recommended the steak skewer with our salad. We had the Mexican themed salad that had roasted corn in it and I died and went to heaven eating that salad. The lime dressing was sooo good. The meat was so tender and tasty. No gristle!!!! I was fully expecting some but it was perfect meat. Well flavored and perfectly cooked. Not only did our server give us the best advice, she also sent us out the door with a refill of iced tea. In this heat, that is so kind. She probably saved me from dehydration!! We had the nicest drive back to the Bay Area. We talked about coming back with our manly men. They would love this place. Chico is just as nice and less expensive than the Bay Area. I recommend visiting this lovely restaurant and brewery. I would have had the beer but I can't mix alcohol and heat that I'm not used to. So... in the immortal words of the Terminator, "I'll be back!" I am so embarrassed! I forgot to take pictures!!!! I was that bowled over!
