The Roost Cafe
817 Main St, Chico, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Chico institution excels at hearty, scratch-made breakfast and brunch fare—think perfectly executed Benedicts with standout hollandaise, massive fluffy pancakes, and crispy hash browns that locals rave about—all served by genuinely warm staff who make you feel like a regular on your first visit. Beyond the impressive food, The Roost nails the specialty coffee side with creative drinks like their Butterscotch Caramel Latte and Pineapple Mango mimosas that pair beautifully with their menu. It's the kind of independent spot where supporting local actually means getting exceptional quality, not just good vibes.”

Ordered a full stack of pancakes and Irish Benedict with corn beef hash. I liked my pancakes but these are massive and couldn’t finish them, so don’t fluff your feathers and order a full-stack like me. Their Irish Benedict was pretty good and actually their staff suggested that we should try it. Great place to grab a Saturday brunch.
Love supporting local small businesses! Great burgers and. Biscuits and grave is all gravy!!! Way better service and food compared to other dinners for brunch a top pick in Chico. Love that it’s down town and fast services 🍔
The food and staff are fantastic! We had the Carnitas Omelette and the Santa Fe Omelette also a side of sausage gravy to go with the biscuit = DELICIOUS!! The Pineapple Mango mimosa was amazing. Samantha is a friendly and wonderful server, too! Highly recommend this place for a yummy brunch.
Amazing selections. Completely delighted by the vast amount of options. I ordered the Irish Benedict with crispy home fries and a Butterscotch/Carmel Latte with Almond milk. My server, Katie K was amazing! She gave me some great recommendations to help me choose my meal. Katie also recommend a couple of local businesses to check out. I will definitely be back to work my way through the enormous menu!
Food was fantastic I can not explain to you how fabulous the hollandaise sauce is!! The corn beef hash is the best in town, and compared to other restaurants in town the price is fair!! The staff was friendly and the service was fast, the owner her self came by the table to see how we liked our food!! Highly enjoyed and will definitely be a returning customer!!
