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.

(Make sure to ask one of the employees about the hanging coffee mugs!) What really stood out was the service. The servers worked together seamlessly, refilling drinks, topping off coffee, bringing requested extras, and checking in with guests. Definitely a well-oiled machine! As a solo diner, I had the opportunity to sit back and observe, and I was genuinely impressed. Every interaction seemed friendly, heartfelt, and professional. What a great combination! The restaurant itself is a sweet, unpretentious little diner. Pretty packed for a Tuesday morning, but I happened to arrive at just the right time and was seated without a wait. Coffee wasn't great but I did drink two cups so I probably shouldn't complain. :) On their menu, it states "We are proud of our large servings, so sharing a meal with an extra plate +.75. Half portions of omelettes and scrambles are available, price varies." Great option for me but pricewise, it's only $1.50 less. Something to consider. I ordered the Mexican Omelette, filled with green chiles, tomatoes, green onions, and Jack cheese, then topped with salsa and sour cream. The salsa was delicious and full of flavor, although a wee bit overpowering. It became the dominant flavor, and I found myself missing the green chiles and melty Jack cheese that I was looking forward to. That said, everything worked well together, and I'd absolutely order it again, just with the salsa on the side! Perfectly crispy hash browns and toasty English muffin rounded out this hearty breakfast. Delicious diner breakfast and incredible service!

We held the door for an elderly couple leaving as we entered, so for the sake of argument let's say we crossed their threshold at exactly 1:30 pm. "Hostess" ( college girl with messy hair under a baseball cap) immediately informs us they are CLOSED. No hello no greeting at all, just and abrupt , "We are closed." Huh. Sign says 2 pm?!!! She kinda shrugs us off with a parting comment, "we stop seating at 1:30." News to me, we've been coming here for five plus years and always between 1:30 and 2:00 pm. Never ever had a problem or had anyone tell us about this 1:30 pm seating rule. Ok. But I show her my phone. "it's 1:30 now" and she just shrugs and says sorry. Disappointed, we cruise over to The Farmers Skillet located a few miles away in Chico on Rio Lindo. We strolled in at 1:50 pm, noting they also close at 2 pm. I ask politely if we are too late even though our hostess already has two menus in her hand and a smile on her face. "Not at all," she exclaims and then says "Welcome". Service there was warm, and unhurried. The Roost could learn a lesson here. If your 24/7 policy is to stop serving half an hour prior to closing then it should be posted, and door locked maybe? I know Deja Vu (also in Chico, on the Esplanade) closes at 2 pm and they have the CLOSED sign up with door locked at 1:45 pm. We shan't be returning. Very disrespectful and unnecessary. IF in fact that IS the policy of this diner and not just the whim of a lazy student/hostess then we should still have been seated. It was 1:30 pm as we entered. Shame on management. Know your staff and make sure they are operating with YOUR agenda and priorities, not theirs.

I'm so glad I did because it did not disappoint! The cafe has a nice open and airy atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a medium pour over coffee, black, along with a pastry and spent some time just sitting, relaxing, and enjoying my morning. It was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed the coffee so much that I ordered another pour over to go. I also picked up an Oat Maple Leaf Latte and several pastries to bring back to my family. Everything was delicious, and my family enjoyed the treats as well. If I'm ever back in the area, Bidwell Perk will definitely be one of my go to places. Great coffee, tasty pastries, friendly service, and a relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommended!

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.

The only reason I'm rating this restaurant 3 stars is because their food is awesome for a great price. Also their $4.95 champagne brunch (sat & sun) can't be beat.. I've probably been here 20-30 times over the years and every time I eat here I remember why I hate coming here.. the service is horrendous. We asked for a coffee refill and was treated like it was a huge inconvenience. Our server 'Kayleona' (this is what it said on the server check, she never introduced herself to us) wasn't very friendly and was skimping on champagne refills. There was a server at a neighboring section who gave us most of our refills. The hostesses and bartenders are AWESOME. If you want good service go elsewhere. However the prices are good enough that it just might be worth the gamble Side note - I thought I was being difficult but overheard the table next to me echoing my complaints. read more

I called to inquire about the brunch time hours today. I asked if they were still serving brunch and the girl on the phone rudely responded with, "We're not and our brunch times are on the online, you should probably look them up before calling" then fully hung up. I've never experienced such a rude call. We would've dined there regardless but after that experience we will not be returning ever. read more

If there was a bone, it wouldve fallen off already from tenderness. Almost melt in your mouth tender. While thing was loaded in gravy. But imo the flavor for gravy wasn't as powerful as I wanted. Overall Very good Baked Potato: choice was baked potato, mashed, fries, steamed veggies, or grilled zucchini. I got the baked potato, he said either the baked potato or the fries. But he said ultimately, all rhe sides are evenly good. I chose this cause I havent seen a side of baked potato before. The potato had some sour cream and a good amount of butter which I like. Mixed it in and tastes exactly how you'd expect. Baked potato with sour cream and butter. Easy to spoon off, easy to mix. Spoon was given when soup was served Garlic toast: choice was garlic bread or corn bread. I got garlic toast and its crispy, u get 2 slices. I don't know the taste much because I instantly added the pot roast on and lettuce on top to eat. Very good Vegetable beef soup: top choices were broccoli cream soup or vegetable beef (I forgot the others), he said broccoli cream is a popular choice but he likes the vegetable beef. I personally already thought, oh beef in soup, sounds good. He said he usually adds tapatio on it. Its good if you like spicy he says. It came instantly with the salad before pot roast. Was a mild flavor but still good flavor. Tomato-u, slightly creamy. I didnt see any beef maybe bad eye. But saw broccoli, zucchini and other vegetable bits. Was a red color. I added tapatio like he said. It became spicy, its good, got me really full Came with crackers Salad: pretty good, u get options of dressing, i asked for ranch and thousand island on the side. Pretty good but I was just hungry cause it was the first thing out. Extra Nice interior Super comfy couch Nice waiters Pay after eat Pay at the counter Not that busy during 1pm on saturday but not empty either The interior is awesome, the seat was clmfy, the food was amazing and it got me pretty full.
