So, I love this place. I don't come to work or study, so I can't speak on that- but we come to grab…read morecoffees and sit for a spell (as they used to say), then use the restroom and leave. We've always experienced really friendly service and I love all the different sitting areas they provide. We especially love that rooftop area! What cool views! It's like a Hallmark movie up there lol. The restrooms are clean enough and a great alternative to the port a potties offered at the ice skating rink access the street lol. The coffee is strong and I love their lattes. My kids enjoy their treats and kid drinks, too. Their dad likes it bc it keeps me fr complaining about going to that ice skating rink and that restroom situation. I don't live in Chico, but I'm here often for errands and I like Chico, so I come for random stuff. I also have to do events at the college near enough to this coffee shop, so I make sure to stop in to grab coffee before my work events. I think they should stay open later hours though. Parking is usually ok, but depends on the day and time. It's only street parking. I'm fr the city and my parallel parking skills are ok lol but if you can't, you can always back into the weird spots on the park across the street. I will say- there was a young homeless guy laying down on a couch in that glass middle room thing, kind of chilling, but I think for safety reasons, they should be more on top of that bc he was too close to the woman's bathroom for my comfort. Plus it wasn't sanitary. I know that's not PC, but it ls a factual situation that if it were to become a more common occurrence, would stop me from returning. For now, I love grabbing coffee from here when I'm in Chico a few times a month.

Came here on a Saturday around 2:30pm, and it was pretty full in the seating areas, but still…read moreplenty of space upstairs. The line for coffee was short to none. Service was quick and the baristas were friendly and inviting. Our coffee itself was delicious. Good quality beans and not too sweet.

I've been coming to Daycamp for several years - consistently great vibes and great coffee. Unlike…read moreStoble (also great), there is easy parking at Daycamp and no giant homeless encampments across the street. I've always thought the customer service, speed, music, seating, and atmosphere in general were top-notch here. You don't get the feeling it's a college study hall like you do at Stoble.

Came in to grab a coffee on my way home from a hike. 2 people in line in front of me. Gal who took…read moremy order was friendly, repeated it back to me, and sent it off to the barista. I waited 18 minutes and several people came and went after me picking up their orders. I approached the counter and inquired about my order. The barista pointed to a large cup off to the side that was clearly not what I ordered. I politely said "that's not what I ordered" and continued to inform the barista of what my order had been. She just stood there and stared back at me clueless about what to do. The gal who initially took order came over and argued with me about what I ordered! I said "that's not what I ordered, you repeated it back to me when I ordered it...". Her response "well that's what I charged you for". I was dumbfounded, instead of just making me what I wanted they both argued with me and then admitted to charging me more for a beverage that I never wanted! I decided to turn and walk away. I don't need to waste my time arguing with teenagers who clearly have zero customer service training.

First time here. Stopped in for a quick sip. It was right down the block from where I needed to be…read moreso I took advantage of the location. Walked in to an empty cafe, that soon changed. I must have showed up at the right time. Ordered a cortado from the gentleman who made my coffee as well, and took a seat at the window bar. First sips. Pretty good. Nicely balanced espresso. Mild citrus and floral notes with rich chocolate and brown sugar that lingers on the palate. Medium bitterness, but nice. What a great little spot. BUT then... I finished my coffee and politely asked where I could put my dirty cup, as opposed to leave it where I sat. (Welp... don't expect Dutch Bros-in your face, friendly) I asked the girl behind the counter who was annoyed I bothered her. She pointed and said over there. Which was not very apparent. So I went over in that direction and seen an empty counter. I didn't want to just set it there, so I asked an older gentleman and he nodded and pointed. No words necessary I guess. There was a cart tucked in the corner with an empty bus tub. Nothing points or says please put your dirty stuff here. But I'm going to say that's where they go. Why my question was such a bother was unknown. You guys got good coffee. But your personalities are worse than Eeyore.

Seriously disappointing. The staff was friendly enough but super concerned about their personal conversation and not me or the customer behind me. I decided on the Milky Way Mocha which is a standard mocha but with caramel. This honestly tasted like a bad cup of hot chocolate. It literally was straight sugar, I couldn't taste coffee/espresso at all. I ended up throwing half of it out. I also got a slice of lemon poppyseed bread that initially looked like it might've been made in house but after unwrapping it, it seemed more like it came in a loaf from Sam's Club or Costco and was sliced and wrapped in plastic wrap. All that for $9 was not what I would call a great start to my day.

#fatjared say...this is a local place that has a couple of locations, and this one was a lot of fun…read moreand super cute! Another local coffee shop down before I leave Chico! I was smiling before ordering because of the picture in the bathroom! Very small amount of seats (probably 20 at most) and only 2 people working which was all they needed. The baristas were friendly and knowledgable! I needed a nap, so I did NOT go with a cold brew! They had big dispensers of 4 different kinds of coffee, and there decaf house blend was ok. They do have an option to get an iced coffee with frozen coffee cubes in it which is something I love! My small complaint is that back in the hall of the bathroom you could see an open closet with all the cleaning supplies in it. Not the most appetizing thing. They did have a bunch of options of food available, but also were not fresh and wrapped in plastic wrap. I did see a burrito made fresh which was huge and looked good, but not a fan of just a random open closet. Overall if you want a quiet place with friendly staff and a wide array of choices to taste some stuff this is a great place to go. Nothing significant to separate it and get 5 stars, a couple of small things, but for a local coffee shop def worth a visit!! Well done Cal Java!!

I really love Cal Java. First, they have nice, bold espresso. I've gotten a latte and a blended…read moredrink before, both with almond milk. They were delicious and the blended drink was sweet but not overly so. I've also had their brewed coffee several times. The house blend is good. I love their French roast. They also have pastries (including Gluten free) and some small food items like burritos. It's a pretty relaxing environment overall. Almost always get good service and it's decently priced. The wifi is sporadic at times. That's really my only complaint.

The latte was pretty bad. Burnt coffee flavor. One avocado toast had a giant hair. The other order has pieces of an uncooked egg - like they realized they didn't cook the egg long enough so only put on what they thought might looked cooked enough. The white of the egg was not cookedAt $10 a piece they were not it. Would not come back.

Great place in Nevada City !! Visited today...july 24th...see receipt…read more Located on Argall way in Nevada City ( next to Jernigans) is this cool little coffee place with indoor seating. When you walk in it smells so good and the music is cool with a great vibe! I got there right when they opened (730 am) and got a cup of strong coffee. It was strong and tasty! They have a limited menu of food items but i heard the 6 minute egg on toast is screaming! RICO the barista is friendly and knowledgeable and knows his stuff! You can get fresh coffee beans on the spot! There is inside seating so you can relax inside or just take it to go. A must visit when you are in the area! Plenty of parking and inside decor is welcoming. Good job!

I will definitely be returning.

The ambience is exactly what I look for in a coffee shop. Confident and experienced baristas who know exactly what they're doing. They were able to help make suggestions and fill me in on the seasonal food items. The brick wall, large windows, and endless seating options really made the area feel open. The food and drinks came out very fast. The coffee was delicious, pastries were good. After finishing up our early morning coffee and snack we headed over to the Photo Booth located in the main seating area and took some memorable pictures. Bathrooms are very clean! Staff gave us a code, no issues or delay. Overall we had a very nice time. Thanks for starting out our trip right!
