Crema's Take

Tucked into Chico's Esplanade, Cal Java Coffee is a beloved neighborhood spot where the baristas' genuine passion for their craft shines through in every cup and conversation. Their espresso-focused menu and unhurried vibe make it perfect for lingering over a carefully made drink, and the kitchen turns out impressive food that matches the quality of what's in your cup. The warmth here isn't just in the aroma of freshly ground beans—it's in how the staff makes you feel the moment you walk through the door.

What to expect

Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

I recently visited a small local coffee shop in my neighborhood, and it instantly became one of my favorite spots. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the warm aroma of freshly ground beans and a genuinely friendly staff. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance…

Food is good, decent size meals. Coffee ☕️ is good but the ice blended mocha is not that good, something is missing, not creamy nor sweet, kinda tasteless. Friendly baristas and great atmosphere.
