Crema's Take

Bidwell Perk is a Chico institution that's earned fierce loyalty for its genuinely excellent coffee and thoughtful touches like macadamia nut milk that few other local spots offer. What really sets it apart is how it balances the hustle—with a convenient drive-thru on Mangrove and Ninth for coffee lovers on the go—with the leisure of a proper sit-down experience, plus unexpectedly great food from breakfast burritos to salads that keep people coming back for years. The staff's warmth and genuine welcome make it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like gathering with friends who actually care.

What to expect

Cold brew standout. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Drive-thru.

I love this place. The food, drinks, atmosphere and all employees have been wonderful throughout the years. This is one of the only coffee shops in Chico that offer Macadamia nut milk, which is my favorite.

We love Bidwell Perk! The employees are always warm and welcoming. The lady and I enjoy their salads. Their breakfast burrito is spectacular as well! I drink the coconut iced coffee which is out of this world! We're lucky to have such a special place here in Chico.
