Went for breakfast but just missed the kitchen service so I picked a small quiche from the display case. I felt like Prue from the British Bake-off show. The dough was stodgy, kinda raw on the sides and bottom and I couldn't eat it. I did my best to eat the filling. Pretty good flavors but you want a good flakey crust on a quiche. read more

It was our first time here but it won't be our last. We had their chocolate covered eclairs, a fusion of pastry combining light, airy choux pastry that's filled with a rich, custard cream, and then topped with dark chocolate. We also had one of the best pecan encrusted sticky buns we've ever eaten. The bakery itself was very organized and clean with friendly staff that answered our questions. I would highly recommend this bakery and hope to be back soon! Truth... read more

I was trying to buy my most favorite cake in the world... Main Street lemon.. last minute for my friend's birthday The manager who I spoke to was so rude and difficult... he needs to get over himself Ruined the whole experience don't even want the cake anymore read more

Hands down no hesitation- The desserts have been perfected here. The vanilla cake is single handedly THEE best white cake I have ever had in my life. I tried the Mousse brownie - airy, moist, delicious Peach cobbler bar - fresh, creamy and delightful The menu I feel like they are trying too hard to pull the artisanal aspect into the food. Artisanal is not toss a bunch of random things together and attach a hefty price tag. That's for sure. I had the black bean soup. I loved the cilantro pesto. The soup was well seasoned, a little spicy. It was vegetarian but it was still missing something and I couldn't put my finger on it. This grilled cheese... that I ordered with turkey but it was prepared without costs $20. Made with foccia, three cheese (stingy portions might I add) and tomato. For $20 this cheese/ bread combo needs to have an impressive cheese pull. It did not. No pull at all. The bread was herbed and flavorful. Not worth $18-20 without sides and a beverage. The menu was too all over the place for me so I wouldn't eat the food again. But the dessert I would gladly come back for. I'm interested in a beverage as well. read more

Great bakery! We dropped in while visting Chico recently. Baked goods were excellent! We had a scone and a mini quiche, and both were really tasty. Coffee service was pretty slow, not sure what was going on there, but had finished our breakfast before we got coffees. Would definitely go back though. Nice atmosphere and good food are always a hit. read more

What an interesting place! Everywhere you look, there is something to see. I was taking pictures of nearly everything but the dining area, which had walls decorated with what looked like student artwork. Large space with lots of tables. I only came in for a latte, but seeing the pastries, went ahead and ordered a sticky bun. Staff was friendly and the barista took the time to make some foam art before putting a lid on it. I wouldn't have known, except I popped the lid off to look. And it was a very good latte. Looking forward to the sticky bun for breakfast. Washed up in the restroom - very clean. Great space would love to hang out here read more

It has been years since I have been there. I remember their baked goods are excellent. Parking can be a problem.

Upper Crust bakery made a beautiful cake for my best friend's 50th anniversary celebration. It was decorated absolutely perfectly and the white cake with raspberry filling. Soooo delicious read more

This our 3rd time at Upper Crust. The coffee is terrific and the bakery is amazing. Great for our college kids. We did have a long wait for specialty coffees and flimsy plastic forks for pastries. It's not inexpensive so we think they could do better. Plus you bus your own table. read more

Truly the worst cake I've ever paid for. $70 and I couldn't even tell you what it says. The photo also isn't even centered. Pretty low quality work. If this wasn't a family-only event I'd be too embarrassed to even bring this cake. read more

Had to pay for parking and then the food was mid, tastes like supermarket bakery items, nothing tasted freshly baked

Staff were very friendly and it was so hard to choose what we wanted. Nice little bakery that brings back memories when I came to Chico State. Good spot to visit for a nice baked treat. The atmosphere is chill with nothing too loud so you can enjoy your food and not be overwhelmed! read more

No loaf bread. Everything I read online about this bakery ahead of time said they would have loaves of bread super disappointed. After 20 min to wait to ask about a loaf of bread I was told they only had rolls. They were 12 rolls for $9 okay fine. Get home to find they hide over cooked ones at the bottom read more

Came up from Concord on my motorcycle . Stopped in at Upper Crust Bakery for lunch. The Ca Veg sandwich is to DIE for. Add some fresh fruit and an Italian soda and I'm good to get back on the road. Weston took my order and he was personable and professional. I highly recommend Upper Crust Bakery on Main in Chico! read more

My best friend used to live in Chico for many years, we are passing through to Washington and stopped at one of her favorite coffee shops. I got the Mexican Mocha with whole milk (half sweet), it was VERY good! Russian Cookie and the Snickerdoodle-Vanilla Sugar Cookie was also ordered and they are both amazing! I am so glad I took the barista's suggestion on the sugar cookie. Highly recommended! read more

I've been coming to Upper Crust Bakery for the past two years, and their pastries never disappoint. The lemon blueberry scone with glaze on top is hands-down one of my all-time favorites. Their breakfast quesadillas and sandwiches are awesome, especially with that spicy aioli--so good. The coffee is okay, in my humble opinion there is room for improvement on the quality of coffee, but the food shines. Service is always pleasant and friendly. Just plan an extra 20-25 minutes, as drinks and food can take a bit--but it's worth the wait. read more

Such a disappointment today. I happened to be in the area and was craving something sweet. Found a great parking spot right in front. Paid for 15 minutes of parking and entered the store. 5 people were in line. 6 people were working behind the counter/ 2 at the coffee bar, 3 assisting the line and 1 at the register. I waited 18 minutes in line and did not get anything - I had to leave before I got a parking ticket. What was the problem??? Why did I stand in line that long?? Get it together Upper Crust, the baked goods are delicious but who has time to waste like that? read more

Let me start by saying, YUM! It's a bakery, not much more to say than that. A very welcoming place to sit for a bit and relax. The staff was friendly and everything we tried was delicious. I especially like the orange cranberry scone. If I'm back in the area, I'll give their lunch menu a try. read more

I have been coming here since I was a kid, so yeah about 35 years ago. It hasn't changed, except gotten a little better or so I can appreciate now as an adult. It is essentially a coffee shop with a great bakers as well as lunch items and wonderful things you can get to go! Coffee here is a good start they can make all the fancy stuff, lattes, Mexican Mocha's, options. The bakery part is great. People have been enjoying the croissants, I prefer the chocolate. The cookies are amazing and they have a new option called Lemon cookies that are to-die-for! I also am a fan of the snickerdoodle. Cake orders here are a good way to go if there are any special upcoming events. You can also just order a slice. The sandwiches are a good option. French style. Great bread. It can be busy sometimes on weekends but have to fear the line moves fast! The staff totally can handle the hustle and bustle. I love how they are always upbeat and FUN! A great place to check out for sure. One of the tops on my list for Chico, CA. read more

I had a great experience at this place the food was amazing and the price wasn't bad either I highly recommended!!! read more

wonderful pastries, both sweet and savory. almost everything is single serving -- croissant, roll, danish, muffin. you can get full pies and cheesecakes (I believe). the most amazing thing I just tried today was their Apple Cinnamon Roll. first off, a cinnamon roll is a "lay-up" for these guys... they do way more sophisticated stuff that beats anything anywhere else in the area. something about this cinnamon roll with apple compote added just did me in right! some times simple can surprise us. try the ham 'n' cheese croissant, an almond bear claw, a scone... haven't done them for soup or lunch items, but all their breakfast items are incred! one small jab: their coffees, lattes, espressos are great, but the drinks do come out slower than the food and snacks. with one drink slinger and the rest of the employees working counter and back of the house, I totally understand. bring your patience because it's well worth it and this Chico icon that has been around for decades earns every inch of a five star review. read more

The go to place for us for cakes and desserts. I'm never unhappy. We had a great carrot cake for my birthday and it was perfect.

So about 24 cupcakes for my daughter's birthday party and had stopped by their place to drop off my own toppers to add to the cupcakes....Not sure why their pastries and cakes had flies flying around in there landing on everything looking like Friday 2 donut shop. I found it very gross nobody even noticed nor let the flies out. And then the 24 cupcakes I ordered cost me about $90 please hold the fly. read more

Everything is the best about this place. The Service, Food and the ( big one ) for me, is the Ambiance. When you've found a great place, and they hit it big with you, your want to shout it out, thanks for the opportunity to share my feelings of this incredible place. This place hits it BIG, in every avenue they address. Just get in the car, and enjoy this fine establishment, for Yourself read more

Love the Quiche and the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. Everything is very fresh and tasty. However, it can get expensive quickly with so many options.. I think the coffee/espresso drinks are fair depending on the barista. read more

Some of the finest pastries in town. There's always a line, but it keeps moving, and before long, you're at One Mile sipping on a warm coffee and nibbling on a croissant. This place is an institution. read more

Stopped by on the way to Shasta. Good pastry options. Carrot cake and chocolate cake is moist. Good choice in Chico.

I have been here several times and have noticed a few things that can be improved and a few things that are working well. The ham and swiss croissant is very good, with a buttery taste to it and melts in your mouth. I have heard good things about the coffee and am looking forward to trying the Mexican mocha. However, each time I come here to the tables, none of them have been wiped down or cleaned, with crumbs and food residue left over. Please make the environment more clean and hygienic for customers. Ordered a basic English muffin breakfast sandwich with ham and it took nearly an hour. Staff came over twice to ask what the order was , as it never went into the system. Soup of the day (potato) was so bland I was flooding it with hot sauce and adding salt and pepper. Macarons are very good in flavor and perfect level of sweetness but I do think they could use more of a crisp texture. There should be a little bite to them. read more

This is a review on their customer service - which was AMAZING ! I called to order a smash cake for a secret gender reveal and they were so helpful and kind over the phone ! They made the whole process so easy and straightforward and they had a smile in their voice the whole time ! read more

As I was paying and look to my right I see a light glowing bright. Of course I had to reach out and grab myself a lemonade. This is the perfect mix sweet AND sour, 5/5 in my eyes. The lady who helped me was really nice (I'm sorry I didn't read or catch ur name). read more

Ordered a smash cake and cupcakes for my son's first birthday party... let's just say he absolutely LOVED the cake!! The entire staff were all so friendly and seemed exited to work with me to execute my idea to perfection. They were also so efficient and were able to create my order with only a few days notice (mom brain, oops lol). I can't thank you enough UpperCrust! read more

We were there yesterday. The tables were dirty and sticky. They had no silverware on the counters. There was no garbage can. Dirty dishes were pilled up in a plastic tray. read more

This place is amazing. I'm not local so I had no idea what bakery to pick in town for a birthday party we were throwing. After reading reviews I decided to give this place a try and they didn't disappoint. The cakes were delicious and well priced. I sent them a picture and was delivered what I asked for. Even made a change and they were so kind to make that for me. Can't go wrong with this place read more

My daughter ordered a gender reveal cake for her gender reveal party. She had her OBGYN calling the sex of the baby and my daughter went and picked the cake up. The cake was not supposed to show whether it was a boy or a girl until it was cut open at the party when my daughter got the cake home and opened the box It had blue smeared all over the top and blue sprinkles showing from the bottom totally ruining her gender reveal surprise. Now she's going to have to fake that she doesn't know when the party comes cuz how sloppy the cake was made I tried calling the company back to complain and can't get them on the phone. This is ridiculous I'm very sickened by this whole situation this should not have happened read more

I love coming to Upper Crust for their bread loafs (especially in the morning when they are fresh out of the oven). This is a super cute spot with friendly staff. Definitely a must try in Chico! read more

Cute bakery located close to Chico state. Happy hour prices, plenty of delectable pastries, sandwiches and treats. We ordered mini chocolate cake, mini carrot cake, pickle cupcake and chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious. Fresh and made with quality ingredients. Plenty of indoor seating. Very inviting and welcoming environment. Meter parking available. Reasonable prices. Will definitely visit again read more

Love this place!! I come at least once a week, mainly for the pleasant ambience, but the exciting monthly soup calendar (they have a different soup every day of the month) and delicious turkey chili on Tuesday makes it such a fun experience. The bakery window is also wonderful. My favorite sweet treat is probably the apple tart, which is a perfect synergy of baked apple and shortbread. I decided to write my review today because I received such nice service from Tatum - she was quick, friendly, and gave me a great drink recommendation. When I asked about the sugar content, she checked it for me, and then made my drink with the modifications I requested. It came out just right! :) I won't be in town much longer but I'm really going to miss this place. Thanks for the memories, Upper Crust! read more
