Crema's Take

This on-site roastery brings genuine craft to Chico's coffee scene, where you can watch beans transform from green to golden while sipping drinks that actually taste like they matter. The espresso-focused menu ranges from classic pour overs to creative seasonal offerings like their pumpkin spice chai latte, all built on beans roasted fresh in-house with impressive consistency. Warm, knowledgeable staff and locally sourced breakfast options round out an experience that feels less like a caffeine pit stop and more like stepping into someone's passion project.

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Pastries on the menu.

Great service and best coffee in Chico, California. Not the best food selection. It lacks food options but does usually have burritos and a few pastries. Coffee is roasted here and is excellent! Highly recommend.
