Humboldt & Willow

We’ve got this spot on Willow Street where we’re putting together a little cluster of local food and retail. The idea is simple: bring together good businesses run by good people in a spot that feels like Chico.

Who’s there

The site is home (or will be soon) to a bunch of local spots:

• Other Half — a new cafe
• Dan & Mimi’s — bringing more good food to the neighborhood
• Camina — a local favorite bakery expanding into a bigger space with actual customer-facing space they didn’t have before (think bakery counter with a little walk-up and some seating)
• Rosemary & Grace — Chef Nate Johnson’s prepared meal operation, named after his grandmothers. Grab-and-go veggie burritos, chicken enchiladas, soups — real food made from scratch. You’ve probably already seen his meals at spots like Stoble and BAPA’s.
• Stoble — moving their roasting operations to a building here
• Chico Velo — the bike shop that’s been anchoring this corner

The bigger picture

Walkable neighborhoods with local shops and restaurants aren’t just nice to have — they’re the kind of thing that makes a community actually feel like one. We’re trying to build more of that.
