What customers say

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.

Bidwell Perk has delicious food, coffee, and tea! They also have the best activities to do when you need to get out of the house and be around friends. I highly recommend them. I am excited that they recently bought the espresso trolley on the corner of Mangrove and 9th Avenue in case you don't have time to stop in.

Great atmosphere and plenty of seating inside and out! Plenty of drink options and there are breakfast options as well in the morning. I got a ham and cheese croissant and cup of fruit with a chocolate banana blended espresso drink! The only thing is it is a tad on the pricey side these three cost me $14.50.
