Great harvest never disappoints. I usually go for the cold sandwiches but this time I went for the poor Benedict hot sandwich. It was delicious and the bread I chose was the basil Parmesan sourdough, it was crispy and good.

Dirty Spicy Chai latte was delicious as well as the white chocolate mocha. We also had the cinnamon knot bread.

Best bread in Chico. Consistently great food and customer service. My go-to is the cinnaburst loaf-- works great for french toast.

When we were passing through Chico, I pulled up yelp to find a local treasure. I was shocked to find not one but 3 GHB's in the city. Happy Birthday to me...literally (we were headed to Lake Almanor for Birthday weekend camping). And yes. I know it's a chain but that doesn't count when it originates in your home state :) Even with the mass expansion, the restaurant is still good. It was fun being able to unexpectedly introduce some of my food history to the kids. The sample bread slice they gave us while ordering is smaller than what I remember from Butte, MT (but still hearty). I usually get one of the sweeter breads as my sample and save it for dessert. However, as a family, we each got a different flavor and cut up the slices to make a fun sample platter appetizer. I can't remember our exact orders but I know I got the Southwestern Turkey on the Dakota bread (my go-to bread choice) and my husband's plate was clean before I had a chance to steal a bite. We'll definitely make Chico stop when we're passing through in the future!
