Best coffeehouse in Chico. Love the breakfast bagel egg sandwiches too! 🌞
Super friendly staff with some solid food choices and delicious drinks! Lots of outside seating in a park like setting!

I only visit Chico a few times a year, but when I do visit, I try to have coffee and something to eat with it at the Bidwell Perk. It's a relaxing place, the coffee is good, and the breakfast burrito is guaranteed to satisfy.

Food was great. My coffee taste burnt. Was given incorrect order. They remade it and it’s still wrong. I asked for lite honey and cinnamon and it’s heavy handed. Way too sweet and can’t even drink cuz heavy cinnamon as well . I wanted a dash of cinnamon I literally asked for light. Super sweet too. Waste of money. Throwing away
Their food selection is just as impressive. From fresh breakfast burritos, parfaits, pastries, and housemade quiches, to a full lunch menu featuring paninis, croissant sandwiches, sliders, and salads like Thai Chicken and Apple Orchard — there’s something here for everyone. You’ll never feel like you’re stuck with a typical coffee shop menu.
But let’s talk about the entertainment — because that’s where Bidwell Perk really shines.
Right now (July 21–25, 2025), they’re hosting Talent Week, and it’s turning heads! I happened to catch one incredible performer — a young woman with a guitar who not only played and sang beautifully but surprised us all by belting out an opera song. The room went quiet, then burst into applause. She was absolutely fantastic. Performers get 50% off drinks and the audience gets treated to some of the best local talent in Chico. One lucky winner will even walk away with a $200 gift card.
You don’t find many places like this — where the staff is always friendly, the owner is hands-on and kind, and the environment feels both energized and relaxing. Even the new employees deliver top-notch service like they’ve been here for years.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite, enjoying a long lunch with friends, or catching an afternoon performance — Bidwell Perk is the place to be.
Don’t miss Talent Week. And honestly, don’t miss this place. It’s a Chico treasure.

Why bother going to the corporate coffee shops that everyone else goes to, when we have a local coffee shop with by far the best coffee and atmosphere around. I hesitate to talk it up too much, in fear that everyone will discover this gem right in the middle of Chico. Bidwell Perk!!!

Bidwell Perk – Where Great Coffee Meets Local Talent!
If you’re in Chico and haven’t stopped by Bidwell Perk, you’re truly missing out on one of the most vibrant, welcoming coffee spots in town.
Sure, they’ve got all the essentials — excellent coffee, handcrafted tea drinks, and those fancy café-style creations you’d expect at a big-city coffee house. But what really makes this place special is the vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in with friends, meet for a casual business chat, or just enjoy some solo downtime indoors or out on their cozy patio.
Their food selection is just as impressive. From fresh breakfast burritos, parfaits, pastries, and housemade quiches, to a full lunch menu featuring paninis, croissant sandwiches, sliders, and salads like Thai Chicken and Apple Orchard — there’s something here for everyone. You’ll never feel like you’re stuck with a typical coffee shop menu.
