LOVED: Fun atmosphere. Great menu. So many fresh, creative choices. The food presentation is spot on. Easy access to water and condiments. Quick beverage service. LIKED: Out table server (she delivered the food. You order at the counter) was friendly and worked to take care of us after the ordering server had messed up our order. She was great! Ordering was taken wrong which resulted in delayed food and overcharge. The food seems real fresh. It was very good - creative - but a bit greasy for me. I should have skipped the cheese on my tofu scramble and skipped the James Dean sausage. I don't like greasy. I think others would have loved it. The tofu with peanut was tasty. MEH: The gluten free French toast was ok but not great. I like eggy French toast. This was airy and fluffy. Others may have loved it. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place and I would come back again. I would just change my order a little. I do wish they had some egg free breakfast options. I'm thinking this would not be a good place for a vegan.

Went for brunch with my friend. We were seated outside and the weather was perfect. The shade and fans outside kept us cool while it was nice and sunny. Ordered gluten free pancakes 🥞 and they were delicious. 😋 Will stop by again when I'm in the area.

I usually get the Fuzzy Peach smoothie, and it's delicious every time! You can have them make any smoothie with fresh squeezed juice, which is the way I order it. The staff is always pleasant. They have a variety of protein boosts you can add to your smoothies, and they have a pretty big menu of food to select from. I haven't tried any food yet, but I'll update this review once I do. They also have ice cream, cake slices, baked goods, and gluten-free baked goods. My daughter has had the ice cream and said it was the best chocolate ice cream she's ever had.

I'm a repeat customer at TBar, both locations, but I prefer this location due to the shaded outdoor seating and the ample parking lot. The food is fresh. You get to order each item in a wrap, you get what you like! They have avocado toast, wraps and bowls. You can go vegetarian easily. Gluten free options too. There is limited sweet treats like cookies Tea. They have hot and cold. Blended, frothy, sweetened, unsweetened, fruity, so many options. Staff is always friendly. Pricing is decent for what you get.

Gluten free donuts! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is they stopped using coconut milk.

Our new favorite coffee shop in Chico! This adorable place is run by a sweet mother-daughter duo and sells locally sourced food and drinks. We tried the breakfast sandwich and Denver breakfast burrito. Both were exceptional. Real food that is real delicious. We had blended coffees that were sweet and smooth. The staff provided great customer service and even had a dog bone for our pups. We'll come back when we're in town next time. Definitely recommend! The even had gluten free options.

This coffee shop is in Meriam park. There is a large parking lot surrounding the building. Also great sidewalks around the community so an easy walk from the neighbor park where we play piackleball. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Well behaved pets and children are welcome. They have two unisex bathrooms. They serve coffee and tea, baked goods, and other breakfast items. I'm dairy free and they easily accommodate my needs. There are limited gluten free options. This is a busy place, but the staff do an excellent job of getting it right. They also have a rewards program to earn free product.

Great salad and service. Only thing that would make it better would be to offer gluten and dairy free options.

Stopped in while charging at the nearby Electrify America station. Friendly staff. Chill atmosphere. I wasn't entirely shocked when I asked the staff if the syrup for the mocha was gluten free and they weren't sure of the answer. Thankfully these syrups don't typically contain gluten and it is more of a cross contact concern. So I took the chance and so far, so good.
