LAST MARKET TOMORROW NIGHT! There is nothing quite like the energy of downtown Chico on a warm Thursday evening! ☀️

Walking down Broadway with a cool drink in hand, hearing live music echoing off the buildings, and running into hella people you know is rad.

Grab your canvas bags, you can park your bike at the free bike valet, and have some fun. See you out there! 💐🎶

We care. 🌾🚫 We have gluten-free French Toast, Waffles, Pancakes and Toast. Almost all our menu items can be substituted to be gluten-free, which opens a wide range of gluten-free breakfast, gluten-free brunch and gluten-free lunch options

Although we don’t have gluten-free designated equipment, we can say that all our gluten-free menu items are like 99.9% gluten free. If that qualifies for you, or for family or friends, and we hope it does, then we’d love to see ya'll soon.

The bacon strips are sweatin’ because someone just walked into the bar and ordered a BLT. Don't worry, we've got plenty of bacon to go around over here.
No strips were harmed in the making of this post... well, maybe a few. 😉🥓🥓 🥓

There is nothing quite like the sound of a bustling diner and a fresh plate hitting the table. 🍞🍓

Today, we are serving up golden Poppy Seed French Toast topped with a mountain of fresh strawberries and blueberries. It's comfort food with a fresh, fruity twist. Maple syrup on berries? Absolutely.

Who are you bringing with you? Wanna bring mom again? Or maybe the kids this time?
