Upper Crust Bakery Chico Reviews
Excellent pastries, mini-quiches, salads and more. Friendly staff. Expect a bit of a line....it's a popular place
We seriously love this place. We went in today, the staff is the sweetest, and the food is always the best. This place is such a gem and felt like i had to review and just say thankyou! I’ve been coming here since i was little and now we get to take our littles.
I’ve stopped into the UC for lunch or bakery items from their case but I suddenly needed a birthday cake for the day after Christmas. On the Tuesday before I called the Upper Crust to see if 1- they were open 12/26 and 2- if I could place an order. I can’t describe how happy and relieved I was when the employee accepted my order! She was very friendly and helpful. She made suggestions about which chocolate cake sounded like it met my needs. She also accommodated my request for a raspberry filling. (A special order cake accepted the week of Christmas for 12/26??? YAY! That made my year!). It was beautiful, decadent and delicious. The frosting was smooth and creamy with a high quality chocolate flavor. The cake was moist with a delicious tender crumb. There was a perfect amount of raspberry filling. The cheerful decoration ( pretty piping with confetti sprinkles) made my family member tearfully happy. Thank you Upper Crust!
Absolutely love this bakery. We have purchased many cakes from here over the years. The service is always wonderful and the product is even more delicious. Recently I turned 40 and had a Gilmore girls themed birthday party and they came in clutch with a chocolate espresso cake that was so delicious. We got so many comments at the party on how good it was. Thank you uppercrust for serving our community and for being a much needed staple for all of our celebrations as well as when we just need to get our pastry fix!
For as long as I've lived in Chico upper crust has delivered perfect product. Beyond friendly service and super casual friendly atmosphere. The most appetizing food downtown. From their spinach quiche to their cupcakes, in my opinion flawless 😋
Great experience in getting to know whom is hip and into rock n roll concertes. There is some seriously good talent in town and these workers could steer you to some good music. It was packed in crowd but we managed to etch out some seats. Friendly open customers whom were fun to engage.
We got our wedding cake from upper crust and it was delicious! We got a 3 tier cake and sheet cakes to serve guests. We did 3 flavors - we couldn’t pick a favorite! I look forward to our 1 year anniversary where I will re order a mini version of our cake so we can taste all the deliciousness again! Thank you upper crust!!
Wow! Everything we ate was amazingly delicious- the black bean chili with corn bread muffin, southwest quiche, deviled eggs, pecan roll, carrot cake, and a chai. It was all 5 star. We’ll be back every time we’re in town.
Great way to start the morning. So many choices, sweet, savory, healthy, not so healthy. Great place to sit and gather your thoughts or just relax. The food is prepared thoughtfully and you really can't go wrong.
One lemon bar isn’t enough in my household… we needed FIVE the next time we visited! Featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and for a great reason. Everything they had to offer here looked simply delicious, I only wish I could try it all! Full size cakes to single serving sweets, there’s so much to choose from I need to come back each day for a month in order to taste it all. Looking forward to my next visit for some yummy treats!
Delicious foods! I love the hot ham and Swiss cheese danish. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The batistas are friendly and efficient. There is a nice, laid back atmosphere here. Clean restrooms. Clean cafe all-around.
I brought a picture in of a cake I wanted for my son's birthday. I left with a pastry and a little skepticism. The pastry was amazing, so I felt a little more confident about my request. When I picked up my order, I couldn't have been any happier. It was really amazing to see the picture come to life. The cake and the frosting were delicious too! Highly recommended!
Upper Crust is one of my favorite places in town. I've been coming here for years for baked goods and soup, and everything they make is delicious. I'm writing a review now because I wanted to give them a shoutout for the amazing cake they made for my daughter's "Where the Wild Things Are" birthday party! I didn't have a very specific vision; I just sent the decorators some screenshots of pages from the book and told them to make whatever they thought would look good. They delivered! Not only was it gorgeous, it was absolutely delicious. A big thank you to whichever members of the Upper Crust team made and decorated this awesome cake!
Wonderful little bakery! Visited twice while in town it was that good. Breakfast sandwiches are on point, lots of egg and the optional veggies are fantastic. Love their quiches, scones, and strudel. Great selection of tea and good coffee. Plus they're open early!
Amazing pasties and quiches! Minus 1 star for terrible acidic black coffee, please fix. Still one of my favorite places to go to in town.
We love the Upper Crust and have had a lot of yummy treats but we are really disappointed in their scones. The last few scones we have purchased has been dry and hard and just crumble when you try to break off a piece. The last scone we purchased was hard as a rock like it was a day old and not fresh.
Beautiful location with ample seating. The service was a bit slow due to the big rush, however the staff were very kind. I unfortunately did not enjoy their veggie sandwich and potato soup. I will try something different next time. Their sweets are delicious but they can be a bit too sweet at times. I enjoy their sugar cookies, especially when they’re seasonal!
This is one of our favorite places in town. I took away one star since everything there is too sweet. The drinks are too sweet (vanilla frost), the apple caramel is too sweet (over powering), even the coconut macaron. Someone needs to dial things down a bit. The atmosphere is great. Customer service is great. The place is clean and quiet. We were a party of 4. Plenty of food options. Next time we will stick with sandwiches and juices / less sweet drinks. Deserts here need to be fixed.
We order a couple of the breakfast quesadillas & an egg breakfast sandwich on ciabatta. The food was excellent the drinks were lukewarm at best. Even though we had a number and were told someone would bring us our food, they didn't bring our drinks and they sat on the counter for over 5 minutes until a customer came out and asked if anyone in the patio was named Bill because they have been calling my name. There were a lot of dirty tables and the only people bussing was the new customers who wanted a dirty table. We'll be back and I'll update the review if this was a quirky visit that is not typical.
food is pretty good, expensive. they put up ai art tho. looks like shit. take it down. you work in a town full of young artists who deserve a chance to have their work posted up somewhere local. do better.
Overpriced. Open early at 6:30 am, good coffee, a pretty uninspiring $12.50 bacon egg and cheese. A Large Coffee and Bacon egg and cheese English muffin cost $19.67
Extremely disappointing! The Snickerdoodle cookie was the WORST I've ever had, and by far the WORST cookie I've ever paid for (let alone the amount of $). I'd gotten a Lemon Sugar cookie as well, and although it was better, it was still horrible and inedible. Both were HARD, crumbly, and bland. I ordered a cake for a family get together, and now I'm dreading it being just as awful.
