Never been disappointed at this place. Always get the jalapeño cheddar bagel with bacon and everything on it and a drink. It's my go to spot. It's locally owned and you can feel the small Chico vibes. Be sure to get yourself a punchcard because you will be back! read more

Coffee is mid. Maybe a change in baristas or coffee beans? I've had their coffee multiple times (trying to have hope) and it always tastes burnt or just off :/. but their breakfast croissants on the other hand are yummy!!! They add cheese and cream cheese to it. Iconic combo for cheese lovers read more

How did I not know about this place?? I mean, I guess I did, but it's a little out of my neighborhood, so I was slacking on checking it out. I met a friend here and there were plenty of tables open around 10am on a Saturday. I got a hot pumpkin spice latte and it was delicious. Not too sweet but just the right amount of pumpkin spice. I also got a vegetarian breakfast burrito which was the perfect size and flavor. The cheese in it was fuegoooooo. This might be my new favorite coffee spot! read more

I live down the street and have been a going here semi-regularly for several years, but that ends today. As a customer, it's so disappointing to see them post a sign stating that they don't support the use of masks during a pandemic; it indicates that they are attempting to put profits over the health of their community. As a registered nurse, it feels like a knife to the back, as it will be people like me that have put our own lives at risk to care for the sick and clean up the mess they are adding to by denying science as well as the order from the Governor to wear masks. As for the food, it's all pretty much premade and heated up in a toaster or microwave. The espresso leaves A LOT to be desired, and despite the beautiful espresso machine, the staff seem illtrained to pull a properly extracted shot. They do have that good ice though, and that's what my 1 is for. read more

#fatjared say...I have never had a bad experience here EVER!! 4.9 out of 5 stars!! For those who dk my reviews, if I have even 1 complaint, small or big, I have decided I CANT give 5 stars. 5 stars is perfect, and if I have a complaint, its not perfect! That being said, this os as close to 5 stars as you can get! I haven't tried any food here yet, but I meet here with my friend to do a Bible study every week! It's got a very cozy warm feel to it. The staff is unbelievably kind and helpful in all ways! They don't HAVE to bring you your drinks, but they do! No one bothers you if you are having a conversation. Quiet enough to work in, and it has a big table in the back to have a big group meeting. The owner is so sweet and knows her regulars orders by heart! I have had their iced decaf americano, and their Cold Brew. That's my small complaint. Nothing stands out. It's not a memorable drink, and for a local coffee shop you have to be able to separate yourself to stand out! I will continue to fo here because they do make you feel like family. It's not always about the food and drinks. Unfortunately what I have had is nothing special, but I want everyone to try this simply because you'll enjoy every second you're in there! read more

Usually pretty picky with my coffee, but this place did a pretty decent job. The workers were friendly but kind of slow and not extremely welcoming. Came back the next week and ordered the same drink but the white chocolate powder wasn't mixed all the way in and I instantly gagged when I got a ginormous clump of powder up my straw. Giving a 4 out of 5 because they offer a cash discount, stamp card, and don't enforce masks. read more

Friendly, chill neighborhood cafe, a good place to sit and meet friends or study. The drinks are yummy, the interior is comfy. There's a large table off in it's own corner that makes a good place to host meetups. I'm only taking one star off because the pastries aren't particularly good. They taste like something you might grab from the pastry box at the grocery store - but cost twice as much. If you're looking for the best pastries, I'd recommend Tin Roof or Upper Crust. But if you're looking for a good cafe on the north end of Chico, Grateful Bean is a good bet. read more

What a great vibe inside, extremely clean and not to mention their tasty coffee drinks. They also have pastries, breakfast sandwiches etc... Not only was the coffee/food really good, but the owner and employees were very kind and RESPECTFUL! I'm not sure why all the hatred toward this business for not "Enforcing" masks. It's absolutely not their job to do so, nor should we expect them to interrogate customers upon entry. I believe in supporting all local businesses that are trying to navigate these difficult times. If I dont like what a business is doing, I dont go...point blank. I will continue to go here and absolutely encourage others to do so! read more

I was told no because the entire sandwich is toasted together.

The staff was all very helpful and super friendly. They were making sure everyone received attention as soon as they walked in, answering any questions and filling requests for samples. They have a variety of ice-cream flavors, chocolates, candies, and ice-cream sandwiches. For sure a must try in Chico. The space itself is small, but there is seating outside, to enjoy your treats.

This pizzeria seems to be family owned as it's always the same employees working there when i visit including a man that genuinely cares about your experience and wants you to return. The pizza is unique, it's not quite a deep dish but thicker than a standard pizza crust. Toppings go all the way to the edge. The taste is somewhat buttery, and they have a proprietary spice and cheese blend that is sprinkled on top and really adds to the overall flavor. Cheese sticks are similar to Papa John's or Mountain Mike's in that you get a pizza cut into sticks with a dipping sauce. Their location, although seemingly good for delivery orders with being close to downtown and the student areas, is out of place and it's easy to miss the pizzeria completely when driving by. Just find Burger King and look across W. 2nd St. Very much worth a try if you haven't been yet and are looking for something different. Download the app and use one the deals.

I don't know what it is but anyway I just wanted to tell you it's really good and please give them a try please please please give them a try. I called them tonight. It's Saturday. They said they weren't busy so give them some love. They honestly do have one of the best pizzas in town. Will probably the best pizza in town because they're crust is amazing anyway I know this is a long post. I hope you try them.

The owner, Norma Fatchin, is so creepy she went through the system after I left, got my full name from my card, stalked my social media, identified my boyfriend, and then messaged him taking shit about me. They don't care about corona and do nothing to enforce the mask requirement other than posting a sign on the door. Also their "bagel sandwiches" are glorified egg McMuffins. The bagels are hard and dry, they microwave the eggs, and the end result tastes like old cardboard. The coffee is overprice and weak af. read more

They do not care about the health and safety of the community as evidenced by their refusal to follow the mask order. They deserve to face the economic repercussions of their ignorance. read more

They were very accommodating. The drinks were too sweet for my personal preference, even the Americano tasted like the oatmilk was sweetened (or maybe even vanilla?), so when I go back I know to stick to regular black coffee or espresso. The place has more space for sitting than I thought it would, and I particularly liked some of the cozy cushioned chairs they have by the small tables. Note: I'm posting a pic of the menu as it was when I went today but when one of my drinks was pricier than I was expecting, I was told the prices had changed but the menu on the board hasn't been updated yet. You may want to confirm that the pricing of the menu is up-to-date when you order.

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!

On my second visit it was actually less busy and the same older lady was behind the counter taking orders and covering the register. I was trying to decide on my next meal and was asking a lot of questions. She responded dismissively by saying, she "didn't have time for my questions." When I mentioned that she had answered all my questions the week prior, nothing changed so I pointed out that it was much busier the week prior compared to me being there for the second time, she maintained her viewpoint. I understand she was filling in while her daughter was on maternity leave at that time but that's still not an excuse to treat customers poorly, especially around dietary needs. Because of that interaction, I won't be returning. No second chance from me. If you have dietary restrictions, I'd think twice.

We started with drinks I got a chai latte and my friend got the watermelon refresher, both enjoyable. Next time I'll get it without the sprinkled cinnamon on top. I got the roasted potatoes with carnitas and eggs. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium which is my favorite. The potatoes were beautifully roasted while soft on the inside. The pico de gallo also seemed fresh and flavorful. My friend got the chicken and waffles and felt the chicken was well seasoned and crunchy while still tender. We shared the bam bam waffle, it was very sweet, the black berry sauce was a good tart taste to balance out all the sugar. I will say that although the food was delicious and fresh, the price was a little higher than expected. An extra side of syrup was $2 more. A side of eggs(2) was $5. I shared the receipt. All and all I'm glad we stopped here on our way back to Sacramento. Great food.

I had the Half-sandwich with soup and fries. I chose grilled Ham n cheese and the "half" I was presented with was larger than most full sandwiches. Quite tasty as well. A generous portion of fries came with it and the soup was vegetable beef. The fries were cooked to perfection and delicious. Too bad the super-cheap ketchup they serve is not edible. It's like they made it from canned tomato sauce. Disgusting! The soup wasn't the best. It tasted like they keep a single pot and add stuff to it every day. Re-heating and adding more to it every morning. I had to chase the server down and ask for it because she had forgotten to bring it out. Not good. I also had a strawberry milkshake. It tasted like vanilla ice milk and had some strawberry syrup drizzled on it for flavoring. When I stirred it in, the drink became slightly pink and had the slightest hint of strawberry. Not very thick either, but it was thick enough to collapse the super-cheap straws they use. I had to ask for water for my dog four times and when they brought some, it was in a plastic bucket that had been used as an ash tray. There were burn marks and ashes still in it and it reeked of cigarettes. The place has it's good points. Just don't expect much.
