Kalico Kitchen - Chico (CA)

3 /5 Romeo Valentino: Super friendly staff, lots of seating and plenty of parking. Could be really busy weekend mornings. They have many tasty breakfast options but today I ordered a cheeseburger for the first time. Do yourself a favor and stick to the breakfast menu. The burger tasted like a soy burger or something that was premade and frozen.

5 /5 dpring medeiros: This was my 1st time there I will definitely be back we had tried somewhere else for breakfast but did not feel like waiting for 45 minutes... I loved our waitress, everyone was very friendly. The food was good. There were 4 of us in our party and we all were happy when we left. Im even happier thats its less then 4 miles from my house.

4 /5 Peter Jackson: Kalico Kitchen Meal Review: A Quest for Chico’s Best Biscuits and Gravy In my search for Chico’s finest biscuits and gravy, Kalico Kitchen delivered a mixed experience. Biscuits and Gravy The gravy was a simple blend of flour, water, and pepper, lacking the richness and depth typically found in great versions that include milk, sausage, and a touch of seasoning like thyme or rosemary. The biscuit, though warm and soft, was dense and bland, resembling risen flour and water rather than the expected flaky, buttery texture. Other Offerings The fresh-squeezed orange juice was fantastic, and the bacon was flavorful and satisfying — a highlight of the meal. Service and Atmosphere The staff was very pleasant, friendly, and attentive. Everyone was helpful and responsive throughout the visit. The restaurant was notably clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable environment. Value Pricing was reasonable and aligned with expectations for a casual breakfast stop. Conclusion While Kalico Kitchen gets high marks for service, cleanliness, and several menu items, their biscuits and gravy unfortunately fall short of the rich, comforting standard that makes this dish a breakfast staple. Unless improvements are made to this key item, my search for Chico’s best biscuits and gravy will continue.

5 /5 Jamie Holwerda: If you walk into Kalico Kitchen as a stranger, youll likely leave as family. If youre really lucky? You get hugs, too. This is the kind of place where faces become familiar, where you naturally gravitate toward your table, and where you leave feeling nourished – both heart and belly. After just two years in Chico, finding this sense of community has been invaluable. Were lucky enough to have a reserved Friday morning spot in Chris section. She knows everyone by name, celebrates every milestone, offers comfort during tough times, and somehow never lets a coffee cup go empty. Chris is the beating heart of this place. The early-riser breakfast is hands-down one of the best values in town, and Rosa absolutely slays in the kitchen! I once playfully teased her about how she cut my toast, and now she keeps a tape measure handy just to poke fun right back at me. I cant remember the last time I laughed so hard! Once you find your spot here, breakfast anywhere else wont feel the same.
