Always searching for the best espresso when I travel, Covenant Coffee landed on my list. I love that Covenant Coffee is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and employing current and former foster youth. With every purchase you are giving a youth a chance at a new future. How cool is that! Coffee for a good cause. I loved the space and the coffee and took home a bag of beans from Brazil. The Americano was hot and delicious, and the service was amazing. I loved they have foster youth working in the store. Go, and tip heavily. It's a great coffee spot. read more

Covenant Coffee has a cool vibe and atmosphere inside the shop, despite being located within a large commercial office building. Coffee was good and service was extremely friendly. I only drink black coffee, but they offered many flavored/sweet drinks as well. They have a small menu of savory breakfast items which I really appreciate. I had a chorizo & egg burrito which was filling and pretty tasty. As I left I picked up a raspberry, pop-tart-like, pastry for my wife, and she said it was very good. read more

My sister was visiting Bakersfield and she wanted to go to a local coffee shop. I guess I'm really out of the loop because we pulled up and I didn't realize it was now Covenant Coffee. We went in and were greeted immediately. We checked out the holiday menu. I asked the two employees what their favorite drink was at the moment. They both answered, "the cinnamon roll." We both ordered it. We checked out the good looking pastries, but just ordered the coffee. The cinnamon roll was really good. Great flavor. I enjoyed it...until the last sip. That sip had all the spices that had sunk to the bottom and I had a coughing fit! Got some water and recovered. I wasn't expecting that at all! Just a warning. The shop is cute. Looks the same as the last time I was there, whenever that was. The coffee was good. The staff was friendly. Great place! read more

Stopped here on our drive up north. Located in an office building it's easy to miss. I ordered a regular drip coffee with almond milk and it was decent. Nothing exceptional to make it memorable but decent nonetheless. The service was great and the barista was friendly telling local spots we should check out while driving through. The inside is super aesthetically pleasing with cute decor and furniture. read more

I tried the chagaccino and really enjoyed it! The sweetness was just right -- perfectly balanced and not too sweet. I'd definitely recommend giving this drink a try if you're curious. It gave me a nice energy boost that lasted a while! read more

If you've been craving the apple brown sugar latte from Starbucks, get the apple latte from Covenant! The apple taste is subtle, not too strong. We came in at 7am and was greeted very kindly by the staff. They helped us find a drink that we wanted. It's super cute in here and this is definitely a good study spot! It looks like there are plenty of seating and outlets here. read more

Firdt time in this location with new owners. Still Great coffee in a comfortable place while waiting for an appointment or waiting on someone in the business building. Small outside patio for fall days. Parking is in a free lot that is often full so it can be tricky. read more

My best friend and I met up for breakfast at Cloud 9 by Covenant Coffee today. This is her favorite spot to order matcha lattes and I can totally see why! The matcha latte was rich in flavor and its taste wasn't outshined by sugar. Bestie recommends subbing in oat milk and adding sweet cream if you prefer it on the sweeter side though. We both ordered avocado toast and it was very yummy! It was toasted sourdough topped with avocado, marinated artichokes, olives, red onions, cheese, a hefty amount of arugula and balsamic glaze. It was crunchy, vinegary, and fresh. The service was very friendly and the aesthetic is so cozy. The vibes in this cafe are unmatched. It's so pretty in here! read more

I can not express how happy and excited I am that covenant coffee's second location is now closer to me. Although their first location was far I would still make the drive because I'm loyal to some good coffee. The bones of cloud 9 are still here so it's still very cute and comfortable. The device was quick and friendly snd the breakfast burrito still one of the best. read more

I walked in on a calm Tuesday and the shop was not very crowded. I ordered a seasonal vanilla lavender latte and a blueberry lemon scone. The baristas had my order out quickly and I sat and enjoyed the beautiful interior of the coffee shop. The latte was not overwhelmingly sweet which I appreciate and the scone was very sweet which I also appreciate lol. For me coffee should be less sweet and pastries very sweet and that's the combo i had. Covenant coffee is still making delicious seasonal drinks and offering yummy food. I do miss the cutesy gift wall but I understand it's a new era, I'll be back! read more

We found out about covenant coffee thru a waitress at 24th St cafe in Bakersfield. We asked her about they coffee they serve because it was really good! She told us it was from covenant coffee i believe they use the mexican beans. So we ended visiting covenant coffee and bought our own bag of grounded Mexican coffee. It is delicious! Rich and flavorful read more

Hairs in their food. Couldn't finish the food and now cannot trust the drinks. Spent $58+.

The best coffee in town AND the business employs, supports, and equips foster youth. I am SO proud to be a customer here and so impressed daily with everyone involved. I used to work in Shafter and Covenant supplied Tin Cup Coffee's beans, and it's no wonder I loved Tin Cup as well! I also highly recommend attending their fundraiser dinners which are a high quality dining experience. When you bless this store with your business, the coffee blesses you back! My drink of choice is a hot honey latte with oatmilk and cinnamon, or a blended version of the drink. They also have cute wooden gift card tokens that are the perfect gift for any occasion. read more

Great coffee and they made it so quick. Minus one star for the cashier whose opening line was "you still looking or you know what you want" not just to me, but the girl after me. It was both our first time visiting, and yes we are still looking? What does it look like buddy? I didn't catch his name but I remembered the acne. read more

Coffee Shop No. 434 Cloud 9 by Covenant Coffee Bakersfield, CA October 12, 2024 Cloud 9 by Covenant Coffee was recommended by one of my childhood friends and the baristas at Beanies Coffee Roasters and Covenant Coffee. The cafe is located in the lower level of the...I think it's the Wells Fargo Bank. I honestly don't know the name of the building, but if you are searching for Cloud 9 and you find yourself in what feels like a random parking lot you might just be in the right place. My youngest son thought for sure we were lost, but he has one determined Mom espressolly when it comes to finding coffee shops. After parking you'll have to walk through a beautiful lobby and question whether you were appropriately dressed. It's a stunning lobby. Walking through Cloud 9's door is exhilarating. You can't help but feel happy when you enter. The baristas are very friendly. The ceilings are high and accentuates the natural light which floods the cafe. The decor is calming and peaceful. The seating is plentiful and inviting making it a perfect place to chat with friends or work on a project. And they serve Covenant Coffee beans which happens to be a pretty fabulous bean! I definitely enjoyed my cortado. Enjoying life one cortado at a time! read more

Horrible service. Young adults (more like big kids) running the show. They are always on their phones and playing around. Very unprofessional. I only go back because I work in the building and there's no other options. read more

What a beautiful hidden gem! I immediately fell in love with this place. Definitely worthy of 5 stars! The coffee is delicious, service is excellent and the ambiance is cozy! I'll definitely attach photos, but do yourself a favor and go there yourself. Feels like you're outta town and in a beautiful building! read more

Located on the lobby level of an office building, Cloud 9 has adorable decor and a minimalist chic space to gather or work. The interior is beautiful and there are many cozy and clean spots to sit. You can also browse their selection of goods (think: rifle paper company and holiday goods). Unfortunately, I ordered the matcha latte and it was not good. The matcha latte was extremely chalky and watery tasting. I would not return for it. You may be better off if you choose a coffee option instead! read more

Awesome little spot. Great service and atmosphere. Coffee tasted great, not over roasted or under extracted. I'd definitely return in the future. Spot is tucked away at the bottom level of a business building, but it's worth the hunt. read more

I do notice the reply from the owner, but the other previous owner used Rosa's milk not great value brand from Walmart. They would make their syrup in house I know because I spoke with her and the prices were also lower. I also just prefer the old coffee that the original owner used Since the last time I've gone, I will not go back and I definitely let people around me. Know that it has changed and I don't recommend this place anymore. When I go to a restaurant or a coffee place, I know that I'm paying extra for service but I also care about quality of ingredients and where it comes from. read more

Excellent service and amazing coffee. Love that they support different missions. Location is inside a larger building and was a little difficult to find. Location was comfortable with music playing and nice seating. Highly recommended if you stay in Bakersfield. Coffee is high quality and not overly sweet. Barista was friendly and informative. Will come back if we're ever in Bakersfield again. read more

First things first..... there are no signs. Nothing. GPS takes you to a business park. On Instagram they have a ridiculous "how to find us video" that literally speeds through nondescript concrete buildings and doesn't show a single landmark or building signage. I was already considering leaving and finding a new place to try. Sigh... I was already here and looking forward to the Pistachio special. I tried the Lemon Blueberry scone while I waited for my drink. It was awful, like sour it into a napkin awful. Super dry and tasted like salt and baking soda. Granted they don't make them but when I went to the counter to let them know. The barista was incredibly rude and said "Well, it is a scone". Yes thank you that's why I ordered it. She asked me what I wanted her to do about it.... On to the coffee. I ordered the Sun Kissed Pistachio Iced Latte with cold foam. It tasted like overpowering Lavender. No Pistachio flavor whatsoever. The cold foam "melted" and was non existent. I'm normally a fan of sweet but it was nauseating. They asked me to try the Brown and White Pistachio latte. It was a little better. Received my money back for the scone, paid for and drank a couple sips of the coffee before I just had to toss it or risk feeling ill. I wouldn't go out of my way or recommend this business. read more

Ever since the change in ownership, the quality and flavor of their lattes have changed dramatically. For example, I went in this week excited they were keeping the tradition live to hold Harry Potter week. I got an iced butterbeer latte and all I tasted was bold coffee. Compared to previous years the flavor is there, but I got nothing. It had no sprinkles or cold foam like last year, it tasted like an ordinary latte. I was very disappointed. The ambience too is just completely different. read more

Everytime I come here it's over a 10minute wait. If you are in a rush to go to work DO NOT come in the am. On top of that the coffee is inconsistent and for $7? You'd hope for the best. The beans were coming from an open jar and placed by hand (using a spoon) into the porta filter, this is what causes the inconsistency or watery pull of the espresso making my vanilla latte taste awful. Save your $ and time by going to the original spot! read more

Covenant Coffee - Iced vanilla latte?? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Unfortunately, this place was a big letdown. The food was disappointing, and the service was even worse. Staff seemed unfriendly, and I had to hunt down my own utensils and napkins. I ordered a breakfast burrito that oddly smelled and tasted like tuna, completely unappetizing. I asked for a refund but wasn't given one. I work in the building and still have no plans to return. Honestly, I'd rather walk to another building for coffee. When this location was Cloud Nine, it was a joy--now it's anything but. read more

I understand the mission they serve at convenant coffee but the workers come off rude and are consistently on their phones. The girl taking my order was on her phone and taking my order at the same time didn't greet me, and probably because everyone was on phones and slow paced it took like 20 minutes to get a toast I had ordered. read more

This place was a GEM. I was thrown off by the location since it's a business center but once inside I felt like I was in a coffee haven where it was easy and desirable to hang out much longer than I needed to. The coffee was very tasty and the baristas were very friendly. They don't seem to have food but there was a spot inside with someone set up to see donuts (Bakersfield donut co.). I just wish they were open Sundays so I could stop by again tomorrow. read more

Service was okay and the pastries are actually good, coffee was and isn't as top tier or near the quality as the first location, baristas lack the skill to preform even the simplest of drinks decently. I've been to this location several times and it doesn't seem to be stepping anything up in the coffee area. Ambiance is really the only selling point here. read more

What is this?! Am I in Bakersfield or Paris? I was looking for a good cup of coffee, and walked into this immaculate place. Marble coffee tables with velvet stool. Coffee roasting in the corner. Different seating sections with different views. Wow, just wow. How about the coffee? I ordered a oat latte. Of course the coffee art is flawless. It was rich, creamy, brain melting good. I will be back with a good book and laptop soon, to hide from the world, and enjoy some delicious coffee. read more

I've always heard about this place and never had the chance to try out but today I wanted to try a new coffee place. First off, this place was kinda hard to find hahah the gps took me to a giant building and I was sorta confused on why it took me to an office building but thankfully people have uploaded pictures of the building entrance that lead to the cloud 9 shop. I was kinda discouraged to get coffee because of how difficult it was to find the place because I was expected it to be its own place. After seeing the pictures online, I parked and walked inside and was able to find the place!! The place is super cute and the staff were very kind. I think I bought this drink called Frosted Toffee Latte. It tasted pretty good! However I did get a tummyache after so it was just kinda upsetting because I enjoyed the drink but I guess my stomach didn't lol. read more

Not yet having my must have morning coffee, I had to try this roastery in Bakersfield since it's a good halfway point to stop off for food and gas. After driving around the Wells Fargo building, I finally spotted the small business sign hanging with the words Cloud 9. (If I were in an episode of Amazing Race, I'd probably lose my mind trying to find this place). It's literally tucked inside the building on the ground floor which is not so apparent from the parking lot. Ok, made it inside and it's actually quite busy for mid morning. Two baristas (one doubles as cashier) kept orders flowing. I opted out of one of their tantalizing lattes due to my projected wait time and just got a regular coffee with half and half. First sip not bad (if you've read my other reviews, I've come across sour tasting coffee roasts). I'm glad I did t ask for a shot of espresso as the flavor tastes pretty bold as is. Will have to stop in again to try your caramel/salted or mint lattes now that I know where you're at Cloud 9! read more

Sadly the days of the best coffee in town are done! The brown and white is no longer what it once was. In my recent visit the taste has really changed -it was very bitter, I tossed the entire thing after two sips and definitely not worth the price. Additionally- In my recent visit they informed me they changed their system from whatever Cloud9 used. I had a gift card that had about $40-50 left on it from Cloud 9, they told me I can get a drink today and they would take my card from me as they no longer supported them and we could not use them again. Pretty sad to not have some sort system in place to know the balance on these cards to give people what was theirs! read more

First time visit - what a cute spot! A bit difficult to find at first, it's inside the Wells Fargo building on the northwest side (I found someone else looking for this spot when I walked into the building). I got a pumpkin spice latte with oat milk. The baked goods looked great- the only vegan option was an orange cranberry scone, not my flavor profile of choice so no baked goods for me this time. Free wifi made it a great place to work from! I used the area in the back as a stand-up desk while I had to take work calls. Luckily it's not loud inside so this worked out well. I will also say that the wifi wouldn't connect on my laptop so I had to hotspot through my wifi connected phone ‍ All in all a very nice coffeeshop - I'll certainly return again! P.s. you will pay more than the posted price for takeout! read more

The ambiance is very chill! I worked on homework till closing and I wasn't disturbed. The Customer service is respectful and catering to your needs. The seasonal pumpkin muffin wasn't the best but the crumble was very delicious. I recommend having it warmed up. They do offer that as well. I'm not a coffee drinker, I am a tea lover! So I fully intended on just eating the muffin, but the lovely associate recommended the plum honey tea and it's very nice for people who love tea that's not overly sweet so it was perfect for me As customers started coming in it's a lovely place to sit and chat! I saw a family of 4 just having sweets and coloring! It's a great place to get work done and even better just to walk in have a delicious drink and chat for a bit! read more
