Chico's Coffee Shack

Great local shop. My daughter and I were on vacation and wanted something close to San Fernando cathedral. This did not disappoint. It was a little higher priced than what we had been paying, but SO worth it. Decor was Central American themed, and proprietress was warm and friendly. We will go back.

What can I say about Chico's coffee shack? Awesome, fun, funky. I love
the disco playing in the background. The owner was super nice, and made me feel so welcomed.I could go on about how awesome the coffee was or how delicious the bacon and egg breakfast tacos were.You just have to come in yourself and see.I love this place.Its just my disco retro vibe.I love the cool art pics hanging on the wall too. The music is retro. Disco and 80s. Yay ! Cindy Lauper playing. lol This place rocks.

It’s nice to have a good coffee place downtown! The owner was very kind and friendly and I walked away with a delicious iced americano. Their beans are good and better than Starbucks. Only wish they were closer to me, will definitely be going back!

NO BREAKFAST TACOS!! NOOOOOOOOO!

A little bit off the river, A little walk from the Nueva dam on street level. We ran here Sunday morning to get some coffee and breakfast tacos, BUT THEY DISCONTINUED THEM. :sadpanda: but don't despair; they have a selection of very delicious pastries to grab with your coffee or refresher. The 20oz coffees seemed a little watered down, but we did order them with almond milk, so YMMV.

This place is great! I was looking for local coffee while attending court affairs. Excellent customer service, clean, quiet and the price is great. I would much rather pay for coffee here than a big chain. They take the time to explain flavors and all. Kuddos! **the love monkey frappe**

Nice people in there and the coffee did not disappoint. The place is a little old/worn down but they customer service makes up for it and they do have some nice tables and seating areas. There’s not much in the surrounding area but down the street is all the little markets so it’s not too far away from other things.

We enjoyed this place. Coffee was good. Service was great. Good location downtown. I would definitely recommend this place.

“The Real Deal for Espresso”
The affable owner of this one room cafe is serious about coffee and service: He roasts his own coffee beans and asked us twice, how we liked our order and the place, in order to “always make it better.” Chico’s is about the only biz on the street that is open, while the owner is optimistic that the area will once more develop, and business will pick up. We hope so, as this cafe is a gem.

Great coffee and brunch spot across the street from the Cadena Reeves Justice Center downtown. I came here during a jury duty break and my latte was perfect! Service was very quick and friendly.

I went to Chicos yesterday on the 4th and enjoyed my coffee. I accidentally left my wallet on the table and was unable to get it until the following day. I called them in the morning and they said they had it and saw me leave it on the table. I was grateful that they took care of my belongings only to find my chunk of cash in the wallet was stolen. I was even going to give them a tip for taking care of my things for me, however I guess they decided on their own that they needed the money more than me. Needless to say I’m disappointed and most likely won’t be back.

Update: I spoke with a woman who was the owner and she was instantly defensive, didn’t apologize and even accused me of being under the influence. Had to hang up on her because they clearly didn’t want to make things right. Don’t make the mistake I did of leaving your things there. A small business like this should care more about their customers.
