    The interior is cute and clean. Our server was very kind and attentive. We ordered the Corned Beef Hash and eggs plate and the Tuna Melt sandwich with fries and all were tasty.

    Just - no. So we've eaten here once or twice prior. Food is always passable, and we kept trying it because we really like a good breakfast spot. We hadn't been back since our October visit, when the reataurant had pretty much cleared out after the breakfast rush on a Sunday, and most of the staff was gathered around the bar area chatting. Hostess: 2? Us: Yes, please. Hostess: This way. and proceeds to seat us at a table I can only describe as FILTHY. Not just the surface, which was so sticky it had bits of napkin or straw paper stuck to it, but beneath the table it appeared to have an entire box of cheerios on the floor. Clearly there had been children prior to us but come on, can you not clean that up between guests? Mond you - when we walked in most of the staff was gathered around the bar, chatting. Time to lean, time to clean - especially in the food service industry! This past Sunday - 2/2/25, we stopped in for a bite before perusing the trasures at their next-door neighbor, 8th and Main. My chocolate chip pancake was tasty, glass of milk cold, and underneath the table? Just a few crinkled up napkins and a empty sugar packet wrapper. My husband ordered the waffle combo with scrambled eggs which is about as basic as you can get. As he forked in the eggs, he found not one, but two loooong black hairs underneath the eggs, plastered to the plate by the grease. Yeah, we're done. We paid for the food and left. My advice? If they allow the dining room floor to be THAT cluttered and dirty, just imagine the kitchen!

    Good was very good, atmosphere was good. Our hostess was very good. We sat near the kitchen. Heard the chef yelling "Haley" a lot. Not sure what that was about. But I would definitely make this a "go to Spot"

    The food was delicious! The service was even better, and the restaurant was packed with happy regulars. Definitely a great breakfast date place. This place is not to be missed!

    Special chicken salad with pecans, raisins on a croissant. So delicious! Took the pops over for an early Father's Day lunch.

    Real roasted turkey.

    The Roost is a great classic in Chico. They use fresh ingredients, the restaurant is well-maintained and cleaned, and the staff is always helpful and kind.

    I was a little wary of the negative reviews, but Coffee Ranch was the only coffee shop on my list…read morethat was open on a Monday morning. Service was fantastic, staff was incredibly friendly and brought our drinks to us outside. I had meant for this to be a pit stop for coffee but the outdoor patio was so nice, we ended up sitting in the shade with the pups and taking our time before our looong drive back to SoCal. Black coffee. The beans were from Kenya, which is not my partner's bean country of choice but he said the coffee was good anyway. Oat milk latte. My incredibly particular mom said this was the best latte she's ever had. Dad and I were shook. Iced cinnabon oat milk latte. Surprisingly balanced. Cinnamon forward, which I like, but not overbearing. Lighter on the maple flavor, which I'm grateful for, as maple can get real heavy, real quick for me. Carrot zucchini bread. This was slightly flour-y to my palette, but overall, not bad. Moist, and not too sweet.

I ordered at least 35 minutes before I needed to pick it up and got there, and not only did they not have my order, they ran out of everything to even make a substitute, entirely. The children that work there, probably should go back to daycare. Fake smiles, fake professionalism, just fake all around. Except for the tall doofus that came to the window, he didn't know how to fake it yet so he was just an unprofessional dumbass.

Perfect ambiance, not overstimulating, and space is nice and airy. It's my own ritual; I always order beignets, and they are consistently good, light and fluffy. This time I ordered the open face toast with bacon (I'm totally butchering what it's actually called), but it was giving eggs benny, and it was so so delicious. Their hollandaise sauce tasted house made so I asked my server (Katie, amazing, 5 stars. Super personable and friendly) and sure enough I learned B Street is a scratch kitchen (absolutely everything is made in-house). IMPRESSIVE. The whole dish was very hearty, exactly what you'd need after a night out and it didn't sit heavy. Thank you B Street, I'll be back soon ;)
