This was such a lovely surprise find when we stopped into Chico! The waitresses were very helpful and kind, the decor is the vibe, and the food was amazing!!! I got the carnitas dish which was SO GOOD. I would definitely recommend it! My husband got the chicken and waffles which was okay. The waffle was phenomenal but the chicken was a bit boring. Overall though, I would absolutely recommend this place as there were so many amazing options on the menu that I have yet to try!

Edit: Nov 2024, I’ve now gone to Deja Vu 3 times and after today’s visit I’m not sure I’d be back. We got to Deja Vu at about 1:15pm and it was definitely winding down, not a full house. My friend got a mimosa, but then we proceeded to wait 45 minutes until her food came out, and a full hour for my food. Unfortunately this has happened 2 of the 3 times I’ve gone. Everyone was polite and helpful, but I could’ve gone home and made eggs and potatoes and toast in less time. I think in the future I’ll be going elsewhere.

Went to Deja Vu for the first time today, and we came in at the same time as a ton of people, was seated within 10 minutes still during a very busy period.

Service was excellent and prompt, food took a while, as expected during peak times, drinks were very fast.

Food/drink review:
- Strawberry French Toast: I really wanted to like this, it looks fantastic, but I believe they used a baguette-like bread for it, so it was super chewy and has to be cut with a knife, not just your fork. Since this is a French themed restaurant (or so it seems by the decor) I’m not sure why they didn’t use Brioche bread which is French. This really took away from the dish in my opinion, and it would be nice if they did a dusting of powder sugar on top, and provide additional syrup without asking as well. I personally wouldn’t order this again.
- Sunrise Mimosa: orange and cranberry mimosa, was very good! I asked for additional juice since I prefer a heavier juice based ratio.
-Cappuccino: very very good! I would prefer if they brought out sugar without being asked.

Would definitely go to this place again and try additional dishes.

You can't talk about breakfast in Chico without bringing up Deja Vu! And up until this past weekend, I hadn't had to chance to experience it firsthand. I will say, I drive by often and it's always packed on weekend mornings... that's a good sign, right? Their menu is nowhere to be found online, so I only had an idea of what we were in store for based on Google and Yelp photos.

We went on a Sunday morning around 10am, and waited about 15-20 mins for a table. Once sat, we were greeted promptly and continued to have impeccable service throughout the meal. If I could describe the menu generally, I'd say it's elevated takes on breakfast standards with an almost dessert-like twist... i.e. cookies & cream and cinnabun pancakes.

I kept it standard by creating my own breakfast plate: 2 eggs, potatoes, and choices of meat and toast. The potatoes were phenomenal! I was surprised to receive 3 slices of bacon but only 1 slice of toast. I would've much rather had 2 and 2, and almost wondered if it was a mistake. I also would've loved if sugar/splenda was on the table, or automatically brought out if you order coffee. It was one more thing we had to ask for.

It seems I'm more of a traditionalist when it comes to breakfast, so Deja Vu probably won't be in my regular rotation... but I can certainly see why they stay busy!

Can’t recommend a better brunch place in all of butte county. Their French toast is so amazing it has ruined all other French toast for me. And the service is always phenomenal! How often does the owner of a restaurant personally pour champagne for an opossum in a hat?

Best breakfast spot in town! Their omelets are delicious, along with their french toast and potatoes (they’re seasoned well and so crispy). The atmosphere is really cute too. I’ll be returning over and over⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Their strawberry french toast is to die for! Deja Vu is far far better than Mom’s, Nash’s, etc

I had brunch with family at Deja Vu Breakfast Company, and I highly recommend it. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was upbeat. I had the Cubano Sandwich with fries, and a lavender mimosa to drink. The meat on my sandwich was very flavorful, it was nice and tender too. Fries were delicious, crunchy and seasoned well. The lavender mimosa was SO GOOD! Great place =}

So glad we stopped in here for a bite! The Strawberry French Toast was amazing. They really let the strawberries stand out without adding additional sugary toppings. Also tried the Blueberry Lemon Ricotta pancakes which again were perfectly sweet with plenty of blueberry flavor. I would skip the potatoes here, although they are crunchy they lack seasoning. All in all I would for sure eat here again!
