If you’re not hip to it already, no worries. Check it out.

To get hot diner food from Morning Thunder Cafe, simply open the DoorDash app or website, search for us, and build your order of breakfast favorites.

Once you check out, a local independent contractor (Dasher) accepts the order, picks up your food freshly prepared by the kitchen, and drives it directly to your door in Chico and surrounding areas.

Just order by 10am for any time delivery up until 2pm, and Team Thunder/Doordash has gotcha covered.

This is angel Scarlett taking out a Classic Club with fries! She’s kinda quiet, has a sharp memory, and organizes orders really well. She’s fun with customers too, what a gem.
Say hi to Scarlett, she’s listening! 👋

In the kitchen they love the moment when each plate is completed, looks great, and is lifted up on our stainless steel server stop. Then when off it goes, they say they often get a smile basically each time!
Now that’s a lot of smiles on a work shift, they are all foodies with just a touch of well-earned pride at work. That’s fun!

Chico isn’t just a town, it’s a whole mood, yea?
We’ve tried to capture that essence on a premium canvas tote and then added bacon. Duh..😀 Could be perfect for Farmers’ Market hauls, lugging gear to the gym, skatepark or to yoga, or even bringing home your diner leftovers. Grab yours from our online Chico swag shop and show your local love!

Do you think we should stock our swag items for sale in the restaurant? And not just online? WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE SEE OUR LOGO ON?
