Dessert Food: 2/5 Drinks: 2.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Seating: 4/5 Parking: 5/5 Located in a large shopping plaza, lots of unlimited free parking in the very large parking lot. Inside has a gray, modern aesthetic and some seating from bar stools to tables with chairs + booth. I think the ambiance is good to stay and chat with friends for awhile. Lots of options on the menu, the cashier was nice, customer service 4/5. Ordered Matcha Oreo Slush ($7.95), 2.5/5. It was sweet from the crushed oreos and chocolate drizzle on the side. Besides that, the slush itself didn't have too much of a taste, either too icy or milky. Costs $1 for water+ice cup. Ordered 3 piece Boong O Pang ($9.95 + $2 flavors), 2/5 . They were slightly crispy on the edges but mostly soft. I ordered the Oreo Nutella (+$1) which was my favorite though it didn't have too much Nutella filling. Next was regular custard which it appears they used a type of custard that's very sweet and more of a jello consistency. Last was Strawberry Custard (+$1), unfortunately it appears they used chunks of strawberries that either were out too long or stewed in something as the strawberries were very sour and soggy and tasted a bit fermented. It was these strawberry bits with the regular custard but the strawberries threw me off so I ended up not finishing. The underwhelming flavors on the inside and the lack of crisp on the outside made these soggy desserts that I would not order again.

Cafe Tori is a small cafe offering coffee, iced teas, and Korean inspired desserts, including boong pang (pastry), bingsu (shaved ice), and açaí bowls. The cafe is small, but clean and inviting. Staff is friendly and happy to answer any questions. I tried the mango bingsu and it's definitely a must-try... the mango was so fresh and the dessert itself was delicious. The peach black tea had fresh fruit in it and it was also good. Will definitely be coming back to try more items!

Small business, korean owned. Got the green milk tea. $5.95 after taxes. Pretty good, but only down side is no free WiFi here. Otherwise this would be a nice study spot!

I was craving something really sweet and cold after a big meal of Korean barbecue so I found this little café Tori which serves Boba Matcha, coffee and Bing soo. You can only dine in for the Bing soo. We ordered the mango and strawberry Oreo. Dalgona Coffee and Dalgona Matcha Mango. They have self serve kiosk so not much you can do for alternatives unless you ask over the counter. The ambiance was nice and modern like the usual boba cafes. I really loved the shaved ice on the bing soo, both flavor toppings went well and really refreshing. I would definitely come back for this dessert when I'm in the area again!

Cafe Tori has not disappointed. The Korean Shaved Ice is absolutely delicious. They have a great menu with lots of options. Staff are always friendly and informative. The shop is always clean and the decor has a high end feel.

This will forever be my favorite bingsu spot at Bakersfield! Today I ordered the matcha strawberry bingsu. The flavor was on point, it brought a great balance of sweetness with the matcha. The shaved ice is always fluffy as a cloud and creamy as ever. Definitely a top rated spot with amazing customer service, and a beautiful interior design here in the city of Bakersfield. So if you if you're local here and want to save some money and time from driving to LA, then Cafe Tori is your spot!!! They also offer a lot of other option like boba and hot foods as well. Hope to see you guys here located at Stockdale highway and California ave! Chow ;)

Came back after a long while and it's still good!!! Went for a ton of boba this time. While I thought it was expensive, I see why after getting my drinks! Well worth it and has more to it than other boba shops around town. Matcha was great, lots of effort placed into my drinks, so be patient while they prepare your order!

Went for a second time and this place is very unique with the drinks they offer, true authenticity as well as an inviting environment. I tried a matcha coffee boba and it was good and rich in flavor. I found it nice that they offer Bingsu, however I have yet to try it with my family. The Service was also kind and time-efficient with the orders.

This place is one of my favorite spots for a sweet treat. My favorite is the Mango Bing Su and the Strawberry Bing Su. the mango has such a refreshing and sweet flavor that doesn't feel overly sweet. The fruits always seem fresh and the condensed milk and shaved ice are a nice compliment along with the syrup and whipped topping. It takes some time for them to construct the Bing Su but the presentation and the flavor overall more than makeup for the wait. Overall the place is nice, there isn't a whole lot of seating and it may be difficult to find a spot to enjoy since the bing su is a dine in only option but definitely try it out!

Roxy V.

Fun cute and unique spot that services Bingsu a Korean style shaved ice of many flavors like taro, mango Oreo an so many more! The service was amazing! My eyes were hungry and they were super patient with me ! I ended up going with a going with the chocolate mocha blended coffee and wow! it was made with so much love and sweetness, it felt like a whole experience in a cup. I had to rush back to work, so I couldn't enjoy a bingsu this time, but trust me... I'll absolutely be back soon!!!!

Kreng K.

Such a vibe! Love the interior designs and how most of the items on their menu are displayed by the counter. The bingsu was okay. I ordered the mango and asked the cashier if their mango is sweet, to which she immediately said yes. When I got my order, the mango was not ripe enough and ruined the experience for me. Had the mango been sweet, I would have bumped another star to this review. Their taiyaki was good though. I will give this place another try when it's mango season or choose a different flavor of bingsu next time.

Nancy R.

I give this restaurant5 stars for cleanliness. Staff is very nice and polite.. My kids enjoyed their "fish waffles" . I will definitely be back to try some of the other items they offer.

Stella H.

We stop by this cafe on our California road trip because I want to try Korean coffee. The cup looks like all the other Asian coffee (think 85 degrees) but the flavor is definitely unique. The coffee flavor is mild but pack a punch. We also order their version of taiyaki (Boong o pang). Delicious! Service is pretty speedy and the cafe is nicely decorated. Will come back to try other things!

did not take any photos sadly but the owner is insanely nice and hospitable. i was buying cheesecake for my girlfriend and i and i originally wanted the matcha tiramisu, but he told me that they were actually out. so instead i ordered the matcha oreo cheesecake (delicious btw). when my stuff was ready he told me that he actually found the last matcha tiramisu and added it to my order on the house! extremely nice as he did not need to do that! the iced coffee that i've tried there is also really good, not too sweet as well. highly recommend going to try the cheesecake (highly recommend the yuzu) and iced coffee. read more

I would come here everyday if I could. The pastries and drinks here always exceed my expectations. One of my favorite desserts they sell are the ice cream macaroons, and any of their signature drinks would pair perfectly. The music playing in the cafe creates an environment that is very exciting and positive. The owners are very welcoming and deliver every order with a warming smile and a "thank you." Definitely one of the top cafes in the area. read more

First time here! I am a boba lover & I recommend this place. Boba has a nice chewy texture but, not over cooked. They put a good amount of boba in there but, a little too much ice so maybe I will ask for light ice. I love the decor inside, it's very cute and welcoming! Just wish they put less ice in the boba. read more

Four and a half stars. Five stars for the Kiromitsu coffee, which is very flavorful and unlike any coffee I've had and probably will not be able to replicate. Five stars means I will crave it and seek jt out next time I'm in the area. Four stars for the strawberry and green tea Japanese cheesecake. They're good and I would eat them again, but they're not that unique, not like the coffee. read more

Each bite was carefully layered so that it has a bit of everything and each ingredient complimented to acai. The only downside is that they didn't have some of the ingredients in stock compared to their other location, however, this is mainly because it is a brand new store compared to their flagship location. tl:dr I would go here again as their prices were reasonable for the amount that you get.

I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer.

Me and my friend came to this location to study and do some work, and since the moment we visited,…read moreit has been an amazing experience. I ordered a couple of the sweets, including a Turkish coffee, a cappuccino, and a muffin, and every item that I had was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this place to individuals who enjoy caffeine, a relaxing environment, and delicious sweets!

Been coming here for years now and the Adeni Tea is hands down my favorite drink in town. I was…read morealready a milk tea kinda girlie in the boba universe, but this was the first beverage of theirs that I tried and it scratched a certain itch I'd been unconsciously craving. Something old-world maybe? Like a flavor that's existed for centuries and been passed down through time and so so many generations... and it's now landed in our corner of the world that's just a few blocks away? Globalization and the world within, for f' sakes! This place is truly brilliant. More recently, I'm only in town a few days out of the week, but I make a point to visit this location or their other location, Mokhamena on Panama, each day I'm here to, at a minimum, pick up two for myself--the first one is to function and the second is to savor. There was a time I'd pick up the party-size for my coworkers when I liked them... but alas, times have changed so more for me. The staff there are always friendly and awesome, and on days that I'm lucky enough, I get to actually enjoy the cafe. So grateful you guys are here and sharing flavors from across the world.

I've been a regular here for a while now, and they are nothing if not consistent. This place hits the mark every single time. The Main Attractions Custard Taiyaki: The undisputed star. They serve these fresh and piping hot. The batter is always cooked to that perfect golden-brown crisp, and the custard center is pure magic. Acai Bowls: I've had these a few times now, and they are consistently fresh and delicious. It's my "healthy-ish" go-to when I'm not face-deep in a custard fish. The Drink Situation This time, I branched out and tried the Classic Thai Milk Tea with Boba. The Verdict: The flavor of the tea was solid, but the boba itself wasn't the best I've ever had. It leaned a bit too far into the "extra chewy" territory for my liking. It's definitely not bad, but if you're a boba connoisseur, just know it's a bit of a jaw workout! The Experience The Vibe: The shop is always spotless, which I really appreciate. The staff is consistently super nice, even when they're slammed. The Process: You'll usually order via the digital kiosks. It's efficient, but be prepared, depending on when you go, the wait times can get a little long. Trust me, though, that first bite of a fresh taiyaki makes the wait worth it. read more

Hold on to your spoons, folks, because we're diving headfirst into a bowl of pure deliciousness: the Mango Bingsu! First off, we're talking about shaved ice that's smoother than a baby's bottom. But, this isn't just any old ice; it's milk-infused, a creamy base for the flavor bomb to come! Then, BAM! We're hit with a cascade of sweet, sun-kissed mango chunks, perfectly ripe and bursting with flavor. And as if that wasn't enough, we're drizzling with a generous amount of condensed milk, that sugary nectar from the gods. Every bite is an explosion of textures and tastes. Sweet, creamy, fruity - it's a symphony! Seriously, if you need a little slice of paradise, this Mango Bingsu is your ticket. Service with a smile. So many other dessert options. Chill vibe. Go get it! You won't regret it! read more

I just recently moved here from LA and been craving boba for a long time. I ordered taro smoothies, milk tea and cheesecake through DoorDash for me and my daughter. The boba milk tea and taro don't taste anything like they should. They are very bland, unflavorful, and lacking either tea or just straight from powder. The cheesecake is too small for the price. They're so expensive and not worth to buy read more

I love this place so much. The staff are extremely friendly and the wait is worth it for the high quality boba you are getting. The workers are always eager to greet customers. Nice selection of boba drinks, teas, and cheesecakes. They also have the best acai and dragonfruit bowls. The atmosphere is nice and welcoming; My family and I always enjoy coming here. read more

pre set menu options but they are extremely good. i've had a good amount of Bingsu but i will definitely say that the Pat Bingsu is by far my favorite. I am not much of a fan of red bean fan but the Pat Bingsu changed my mind. Would definitely recommend. Its a small shop so the ambiance is calm, service was a 10/10. read more

I was so upset with this place. I ordered a sweetened green matcha and it was so bitter. The chunks of the matcha didn't dissolve. I waited over 20 minutes for my drink and I didn't even get an apology about the wait. read more

I love all of their drinks. They have the perfect amount of sweetness. Today was the first time trying their bowls and they were perfect. They come in 3 sizes. I can't wait to come back and try their other stuff. read more
