Been wanting to try this place since it opened. So I snuck out one early morning to visit. The cafe opens at 7 am which is great... definitely beats the rush. The place is super cute and definitely offers plenty of Insta-photo opps. The place has good coffee options ranging from regular drip coffee to concoctions that include Mexican staples such as Abuelita hot chocolate and Cafe de Olla. They also offer sandwiches, blended coffee drinks, and of course pan dulce. I ordered a café Americano and a sweet bread (pan dulce). I added half-and-half to my coffee when I got it. My first impression was that the coffee is very weak. If you are used to gourmet coffees, you will not be impressed by this one. I should have tasted my coffee before I added creamer. It probably didn't need any, which is customary in a lot of Latin American cultures. The sweet bread was dense and a little bit dry. It definitely was not like the kind that you would get at a Mexican bakery, panadería. I wasn't surprised since I had heard mixed reviews about this place... But I was a tad disappointed. I learned that they sell their branded coffee for $20 a bag, the bag is your standard size which you would buy at the store for $8 to $9, or $12 to $15 for Starbucks and other brands. The coffee at the shop definitely did not justify $20 per bag, which is what you would pay for something like Counter Culture or Intelligenstia Coffee. I really wanted to love this place... It gave me cute cozy café vibes but the food and beverage just did not live up to the hype. The customer service was good, the employees were polite and professional. When I asked why the coffee was so expensive, one of the girls behind the counter, answered that it was to pay for the branding. I do not think I will go back however never say never. My nieces are dying to visit this place when they come visit me so I'm sure I will show up once again. If you go, I hope your experience is better than mine in terms of coffee and food. Enjoy!

Service was great! I got the Chiquito mocha Mexicano, really good, chocolatey coffee. But over $7 after taxes which was pricy. The outside of the building was painted so cute!

Breakfast Sandwich

First time eating in & lucky for us it wasn't very busy so it was easy to find seating. The only thing is that they only have one baby chair available, and the one family who was using it was leaving so thankful we got to use it. I would hope they app maybe another 2-3 baby chairs to make it more baby friendly as well. Employees very friendly & patient with ordering. We were able to take menus to the table to view them & once ready, order at the counter. Husband ordered the red chilaquiles ($13) w/ steak (+$4) & my son & I ordered the breakfast sandwich ($13.50) + 3 drinks ($7) each. Total coming out to ruffly around $70ish dollar which is the usual amount when we dine out. To be honest I wasn't expecting to spend $70 there but once the food came out, I would say was worth it for us. My husband's plate looked delicious and the breakfast sandwiches we got were pretty huge and stuffed. Employees came out and served us our food at the table & it came out hot & delicious. We didn't feel rushed to eat, place was nice, clean, pricing is usually what we spend at a restaurant.

Chilaquiles, Mexican mocha and white chocolate late

The food was great and the coffee drinks taste were delicious. Service was fast and people are very polite

This place is adorable and hits right in my Mexican American heart ! The place is photo ready so be sure to take your fancy cameras ! The service is fast! Daisy our host was super sweet, she explained their menu very well and she is bilingual so you can order in English, Spanish or my personal favorite Spanglish! Well. I think all the workers are bilingual! As for the food and drinks....what is not to love!!!! I tried the house coffee and it was brewed to perfection and so was the price! They have sweet bread and the Mexican's favorite breakfast cuisine! My mom had the pan dulce that was a cute little bag of mini bread which is a perfect pairing with coffee! I ordered the chilaquiles that were delicious! The chips were super crunchy and you can tell their chile is home made bc it had a good chili taste but not spice at ! I have already invited my yelp bestie to go again with me!!!! Definitely a 10 out of 10 ! I must say I love the location they chose because it's the first really cute spot on the east side.They also play the best Spanish music it's a great place for a perfect date or just an everyday cup of joe to brighten up your day! They will have their grand opening on Saturday, June 29,2024 so be sure to experience the joy of coffee and mexi breakfast!

Caprese toast
Michelle G.

I have been here several times and have enjoyed everything I tried. The coffees have some different flavors but they do run sweet. The bites (14ish) are flavorful but a little on the expensive side. They have breakfast food but I wish they had a few more lunch items. Overall a cute place.

Torta de jamón, concha and café de olla.
Leticia L.

Place is super cute and loved the customer service, however the food and coffee were just ok and bit over priced. We tried the Mazapán Frappe, iced café de olla (didn't taste fresh), the pepino con Limón and Jamaica refreshers were ok and the conchas were cute and passed but again overall everything was just ok. I also ordered a club sandwich, torta con jamón and BLT sandwich to go and unfortunately we all got tortas de jamón lol and didn't realize until we got home. The tortas were good. We would be open to give it another try if in the area but probably wouldn't go out of our way.

Decoration and bagged coffee

I went with my family to try Con Azucar Cafe. It is family friendly and cute little areas to take pictures. I tried the avocado toast, and an iced latte with oat milk (so they have non-dairy alternatives). The avocado toast was on thick brioche bread and was really yummy. My husband tried the duvalin latte which he said is on the sweeter side and tastes like a duvalin. Inside they have beautiful decorations, a swing for pictures, very esthetic. However, they do not have a lot of seating options. I stood up while I enjoyed my food because there weren't enough chairs. They do have a drive-thru option to make things easier and when you are on the go. We arrived and there were only two people in front of us ordering so we got our drinks and food within ten minutes. The staff are friendly. I recommend giving it a try or picking it up on the drive thru.

Took 30 minutes to order two drink items and they messed up the order. I wondered a specialty latte and got a regular coffee. Seating is very limited. We didn't order breakfast like we intended, due to no tables available.

Breakfast burrito at Con Azucar Café
Kris R.

I was very delighted to see another Mexican drive-through at this location. Its look is very upscale and appealing as well. However, my first experience is less than happy. I ordered the breakfast burrito (with ham, sausage, and chorizo), $12.00 The staff at the drive-through window was very upbeat and polite. However, my burrito is a hot mess. It came wrapped in paper, cut in half, inside a clear plastic container. But the burrito itself was so wet that it soaked through the paper making hard to remove as it was falling apart and sticking to the soggy wet tortilla. Why so wet

Vanilla Latte with Mazapán Cold Foam
Diego G.

Vanilla latte with mazapán cold foam. Def a staple here. Would recommend if you don't like coffee to sweet reduce the pumps of vanilla 10/10 Service was great The vibe in here is awesome

Soggyness of the burrito spilling out
Maggie C.

The customer service was good she was friendly and she gave us time to look over the menu since it was out first time and the food didn't take to long to get to us. We ordered their matcha and we were honestly disappointed we've tried matcha from a lot of different places in Bakersfield and this one has to be one of the worst ones unfortunately, it tastes completely watered down and had no sweetest to it I had to put 4 packets of sugar and even then it was still bland, I had my brother, mom and boyfriend try it and they all agreed we there was no flavor (this is something I've seen a lot of reviews complain about that the drinks here are bland in flavor) I figured the food would probably make up for it so I ordered their burrito and my boyfriend orders their torta. The torta was a 7.5/10 with the sauce they give you 8/10 the torta wasn't anything too crazy but it was pretty good. The burrito on the other hand was HUGE which I typically wouldn't mind but the problem was it was so soggy and wet to the point where it was falling apart and I couldn't eat it. Burritos are meant to be held in your hands so it really shouldn't be something to messy or completely fall apart on you, I'm typically not too picky when it comes to burritos but everything was just gushing out I was really disappointed. In menu picture it doesn't look like a wet burrito it looks dry and I didn't read anywhere that said the burrito is wet so idk if it was the cooks that messed up or if it's just not labeled either way it was so soggy and it wasn't wrapped well the food was falling apart the moment I opened it I just couldn't eat it as much as I tried. I really wanted to like the burrito but it was just a huge mess. The ambiance is pretty and nice I love the Mexican style all around. Our food was almost 50$ 43.99 to be exact, which to me is crazy because the drinks weren't good and I couldn't even eat my burrito maybe if the prices were cheaper I would come back again but overall the food isn't worth it that much, the drinks have no flavor and it's just to expensive I'd rather pay 50$ and go somewhere where they serve my GOOD food for the same price ! (I attached pics so you can see how wet and crumbly the burrito was)

Currently here on 4th of July. The cashier doesn't know how to communicate. She brought our food out and thought she would bring the drinks as well. She doesn't & 30 minutes pass and I noticed my drinks on the counter. She doesn't tell me. I've been waiting this whole time to enjoy with my food. She tried to tell me she couldn't make my sandwich because there were no cherry tomatoes. But still got my sandwich with cherry tomatoes. (The food was bomb asf tho) Hated my service and visit

Is this place pet friendly?

I don't think so. To be honest the place it's very very small. Hardly you can walk between the tables so will be very hard with a pet inside. I don't remember any Sign that said doesn't accept animals but I'm not sure 100%. I just thinking on your…

This spot is super clean, cute, and has such a warm, welcoming vibe. There are so many options to choose from, but I went with the turkey sandwich because I'm a girl that likes her turkey!. They were not shy with the turkey (which I love), and the Italian dressing took it to a whole new level! So flavorful and perfectly balanced. I didn't even get a chance to take a picture because it was devoured within minutes! I ended up sharing with my mom and she was wowed as well! I also tried the tiramisu, and it was absolutely out of this world. Honestly, I would've bought every single one if they had any left (I bought the last one, lucky girl!) Safe to say, this is officially my new go-to sandwich spot and the best part is I can have it for lunch literally everyday!

I didn't care to know about any other sandwich other than the Italian sub. I ordered two Italian subs just in case I liked it, along with tiramisu, lemon cake and some potato salad. Italian sub is a 10 out of 10! The desserts are fantastic and the potato salad is unique. I will now claim this as my favorite sandwich spot here in Bakersfield.

Me on the other hand, not impressed at all with the fish sandwich. First impression was it did look super fresh. The lettuce looked crisp and fresh and the fish was poking out of the sandwich which means good portions. But the fish was a bit dark, suggesting either old or dirty grease or cooked too long? Either way it was bland. I ended up having to douse it with a mixture of tarter, malt vinegar, ketchup and Tabasco sauce. I feel as though since this is a fish restaurant that is from the coast, the fish should be their best dish. But this is twice now that it has failed to impress me.
