Cal Java Coffee Esplanade - Chico

Went in today for my first time and the older woman or owner wasn’t very friendly. She just stared at me with a blank upset face even after I smiled. Maybe she was having a bad day, but I won’t be returning here as I did not feel like it was a coffee shop that makes you feel welcome.

Careful with what coffee you order, the white mocha tasted like all sweet no coffee. Not bad beyond

This Cal Java never has me leaving disappointed! Not only is their food amazing, but they always make my coffee order spot on! Their staff is super friendly and welcoming, and makes you feel comfortable taking the time you need to choose what you'd like to order.It doesn't get any better than this coffee shop!

Lattes are top notch and good for a quick pick-me-up. However; the massive cookies they have are a massive letdown, they are big, yes, but they taste like Dawn Dishwashing Soap. I go there many times but I had the cookies (PB and chocoChip) a month ago and today to see if it was just a fluke. But nope, the cookies taste like soap.

Honey Cinnamon Latte: Meh. Tastes pretty much like a normal plain latte, albeit a good one.My constructive criticism: if you call out an order and nobody picks it up, call it out again. It's pretty loud in there. They probably didn't hear you over the milk frothing and such
