Bidwell Perk

I’ve always loved this place, but when in a rush I couldn’t stop there. Now with the drive up on mangrove and ninth, stopping by fits my busy schedule, the coffee is the best in town, and I love the food items. The breakfast burritos are out of this world good. Top notch quality. The staff are super nice and very accommodating. I always leave the perk with a smile and good vibes to start the day.

I love bidwell perk. Years ago when I lived in chico it was my favorite coffee place (ever) and many, many years later I moved back to chico post COVID just hoping it was still here. Thankfully it is and it's JUST as good. The food is excellent, awesome coffee, and their roast is my favorite at home now too. The best.

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.

Bidwell Perk – Where Great Coffee Meets Local Talent! If you’re in Chico and haven’t stopped by Bidwell Perk, you’re truly missing out on one of the most vibrant, welcoming coffee spots in town. Sure, they’ve got all the essentials — excellent coffee, handcrafted tea drinks, and those fancy café-style creations you’d expect at a big-city coffee house. But what really makes this place special is the vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with friends, meet for a casual business chat, or just enjoy some solo downtime indoors or out on their cozy patio. Their food selection is just as impressive. From fresh breakfast burritos, parfaits, pastries, and housemade quiches, to a full lunch menu featuring paninis, croissant sandwiches, sliders, and salads like Thai Chicken and Apple Orchard — there’s something here for everyone. You’ll never feel like you’re stuck with a typical coffee shop menu. But let’s talk about the entertainment — because that’s where Bidwell Perk really shines. Right now (July 21–25, 2025), they’re hosting Talent Week, and it’s turning heads! I happened to catch one incredible performer — a young woman with a guitar who not only played and sang beautifully but surprised us all by belting out an opera song. The room went quiet, then burst into applause. She was absolutely fantastic. Performers get 50% off drinks and the audience gets treated to some of the best local talent in Chico. One lucky winner will even walk away with a $200 gift card. You don’t find many places like this — where the staff is always friendly, the owner is hands-on and kind, and the environment feels both energized and relaxing. Even the new employees deliver top-notch service like they’ve been here for years. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, enjoying a long lunch with friends, or catching an afternoon performance — Bidwell Perk is the place to be. Don’t miss Talent Week. And honestly, don’t miss this place. It’s a Chico treasure.
