Cafe Coda

Used to love going to this place years ago. Their food and drinks are all fantastic. Never have had an issue with what their cooks and baristas put out.

3 stars is due to their slow service and sometimes rude staff. Though there used to be ways to get around that, not so much any more.

I found that the best way to enjoy them was making to go orders, as the wait times are long to get seated, there is no adequate waiting area (you have to wait outside, so either in the cold mornings or sometimes extremely hot afternoons of chico weather) and the environment is extremely loud and over stimulating for some.

I still recommend this place, slowly but surely due to their inability to adapt to demand it's becoming less of a staple for me to recommend.

For a place that is so successful and in high demand it surprises me they haven't expanded, gotten better staffed, or looked for a better venue.

Its one of the few places that my wife and I can eat together. I always have a hard time finding something on the menu, and most times they get my order wrong. Last time we were there, a waitress in a blue shirt stood at the table next to ours for about 20 minutes while she shared her life story with the customers seated there. Even after a different server ran their food to them, the server kept gobbing on about the Camp Fire, how everyone passes by their house all the time, and how much they miss home. I get that we all went through something traumatizing, but venting at a table during breakfast while working is super inappropriate.

Nice environment, very small, but comfy. Nice art, considered buying a piece. Food is ok, on the bland side, and not worth the 50bucks we paid for breakfast for 2 (tip included). People were nice, I would go back for the live music and happy hour, if they have a happy hour.

I come to Coda pretty frequently, and the food is always great. I recently visited on a busy Saturday and our waiter was very attentive and quick. They also have great options for Vegetarians/Vegans, if you're so inclined!

One of the three best brunches of my life.

My go to order is always the Wise Guy! I love it and it is always perfectly filling and savory :)

Food was excellent, this review would be 5 stars if rating just the food alone. Coffee was also excellent(beware if you are a couple big coffee drinker you have to purchase by the carafe, it is not bottomless). The reason only 3 stars overall? The service was mediocre at best. Ranged from passive aggressive/rude(how dare you ask for cream for your coffee!) to just a forced smile and nothing else. Maybe it was an off day or a rough morning.

I've been to Cafe Coda many, many times. I'm addicted to their Chilequiles. I order it every single time. The service has always been great. It's a wonderful place to meet friends for brunch or cozy up with my hubby for a breakfast date. On Saturdays and Sundays there is often a long wait, but this should tell you that it's worth it! Come early and it shouldn't be a problem.

Had a delicious coffee during a meeting.

Seems pretty great, too loud for just trying to go eat with a friend and could barely hear eachother due to the live band in the other room. Food seemed great until I got to the hair in my salad! I would consider going back if it weren't so loud and minus the hair in the food issues!!
