Chico Chai
1441 Park Ave, Chico, CA
Crema's Take
“Chico Chai has earned its perfect rating by mastering both craft and hospitality, with a signature chai that keeps locals coming back and a matcha program so thoughtfully executed that it arrives in your mug with latte art on a gloomy day. The cozy, vegan-friendly atmosphere strikes that rare balance between buzzing social hub and quiet study spot, while their avocado toast on exceptional bread and rotating Camina baked goods elevate what could be a simple coffee run into a genuine destination. Friendly, attentive baristas and a dedicated kid-friendly area round out the experience—this is clearly a place that thinks about every visitor's comfort.”

Delicious! Friendly, helpful staff. I ordered a Chico Chai with oat milk and it was amazing. I also got a scrumptious piece of toast with peanut butter and strawberry jam on it... Wow! The bread was amazing too. Also, it's such a beautiful space with tons of plants and natural light inside. I highly recommend!
This place is awesome to hangout with friends or a quiet corner to study. The Chico chai is so good and I enjoy all of their food and drinks! The staff is so friendly and it has a great, cozy atmosphere.
There is always a great ambiance when I go to chico chai ! They have a kid friendly area for little ones and lots of vegan options that I LOVE. The chai here is signature, the service is always great. The music is a vibe and this is a great spot to enjoy a warm cup and an elegant toast snack.
Their matcha might just be unmatched. At least in Chico. I got it hot with oatmilk and honey on a gloomy day. It was brought to me in a cool mug with a latte heart on top… my day brightened. The barista wasn’t overly chipper, just chill and pretty understanding with my questions and indecisiveness. They have gluten free options, dairy free options, and a variety of options not always found at typical cafes. It’s airy and spacious, without feeling too industrial, cold, or formal. The big windows are ideal for watching the world go by and daydreaming/journaling/eves-dropping. And the plants !! There is an area where kids and their parents get priority to sit, with toys and books, a carpet and couch. I really respect that. If our dollars are our votes, this is a good place to vote for.
The teas are perfect. Avocado toast is on the most amazing bread and is so yummy. They also sell Camina bakes goods which never disappoint. What I might love most about this spot though is that it is kid-friendly. There’s a small kid nook with books and coloring materials and there’s a changing table in the bathroom. I will say I don’t believe they have high chairs. But seriously love this spot.
