Cafe Coda

Super delish. I had the eggs bene with bacon. Look at the big breakfast burrito. Clean, socially distanced, clean bathroom, too. Drinks were okay, Don't go for the drinks, go for the food. It's top notch.

We had a really enjoyable experience at Cafe Coda recently. We arrived at around 10am for breakfast and encountered a number of eager locals standing along the wall outside. The new waiting system employs beeper type devices given in order of arrival. Your beeper buzzes when it's time to be seated. Our wait was about 35-40 minutes. Longish but not unreasonable. We were promptly served with smile...although it was clear the employees were feeling the rush. The food that was delivered was exceptional. Cafe Coda consistently serves up delicious, nutritious and attractive meals. I highly recommend Cafe Coda for breakfast and lunch.

When there for brunch with friends food is great not spectacular but pricy, I will say special occasion type of place?

Had an excellent breakfast here with my wife, her sister and brother - in -law. I had the Simpleton and it was perfectly cooked and served hot. My wife had the lemon poppyseed pancakes and loved them. Great breakfasts all around!

Very good atmosphere, celebrating my birthday outside brunch with mimosas and great food 😋

Honestly... I really do like this place. I enjoy the food, the coffee, the ambiance, I even like the tucked-away downtown location. Heck, coming here on a rainy day makes me love living in Chico even more.

My complaint is this:

The staff.

Consistently and without fail, they are just plain cold and rude. Not a warm or courteous bone in their body it seems. Not even a smile.

If it's not a blank and emotionless stare into your face, it's an annoyed tone and one word answers. I've consistently felt as though I were just "in the way" and that it would be much better for them if I just left. I wanted to believe that it was maybe this terse, all-business, "hipster" style that they had going, but I've been to places like that. They may act all business and cool, but don't act like jerks and treat you like you're an inconvenience. I wanted to love this place, but I don't love businesses that do not make you feel welcome and just look at you like you're an idiot. I can go to Denny's, pay half of the cost for worse food, and get treated way better.

It's time to step up your game, Cafe Coda.

Finally had the chance to try this place and I was blown away! Extremely good food, and a welcoming atmosphere. Pricey, but you get what you pay for! Can't wait to go back!

Excellent Everything
Service outstanding
Coffee and food out of this world!

For 5 years my friends told me to try this place, maybe my expectations were just too high by the time I finally got around to it, this last week. The food wasn't overpriced which I was happy to see my issue comes with the quality of the food. My eggs were both cooked differently (one over easy and one pretty much raw), the bacon I had was bland, the toast was the shining star of my meal. Got a lemon poppyseed pancake for the table, this monster of a pancake was delicious but the texture was very rough. The honey lavender latte was just a tad bit too strong with the lavender and too light on the honey making it more of a floral drink than anything. Everything they did was just a near miss each time. I intend on going back to see if they can hit the bullseye the second time around. One thing that definitely hit in the first go around was the attentive front staff and the atmosphere.

Delicious and quality food. Always a pleasure!! Highly recommend!!
