We finally decided to try Huevo House, and with a name like that I was expecting both cuisines, but I wasn't expecting the Mexican flavors to be this good! The menu was a decent size--one side for breakfast and the back for lunch. I didn't look at the lunch side, but the breakfast options were great: plenty to choose from without feeling overwhelming. They serve pozole on Fridays and Saturdays and menudo on Sundays. The pozole was full of flavor and honestly one of the highlights of our visit. Thank goodness we finally found a place that satisfies us both! I ordered the Country Benedict and he ordered the Brunchiladas--both dishes were delicious and came in generous portions. We also tried the Abuelita Latte and the Mazapán Latte. Both were very good, just on the sweeter side, so if you're not into sweet coffee definitely ask for half sweet. Our server was attentive and informative. She took great care of us and even made conversation, which added to the overall experience. Overall, such a good visit. We'll definitely be back!

The neon signs are especially fun too. I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I was the first to arrive, and since they don't do reservations, I requested a table. We were expected to be quite a large party (approx.10-12), so it was pretty difficult getting seated quickly since they had to figure out spacing. But that's understandable with how limited the seating is already. I was between getting the zucchini fries and the brussels sprouts, because their brussels sprouts are so tasty and flavorful. But ended up ordering the zucchini fries, because they are incredible! They're nice, hot and crispy, and go amazing with their ranch! For my main dish I ordered the Wild Caught Cajun Salmon Salad. I had never had it before but it was really good & filling! The food took a little long to come out, but again, it was understandable with the amount of people in our party.

Maybe it's good, maybe it's not. Unless the cup is 60% sugar, coffee is a subjective taste. Most people glom on to particular Coffee Houses out of status or peer pressure, not because the coffee is so stellar it can't be passed up. Nevertheless, if ANYONE is paying more than a a buck fifty for a few ounces of flavored coffee or .75¢ for JUST A CUP OF COFFEE, then they deserve to be fleeced. Enjoy. read more

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the young lady at the main counter. She was very efficient and knowledgeable as the barista. I ordered a small French Vanilla Iced Latte and a Chocolate Muffin. My bill came out to a reasonable $7.50 not counting tip. The interior is ideal for a bookworm or something seeking solace in a quiet and large setting. The ladies' restroom was clean and spacious. One can seat themselves outside as well but in Bakersfield, that may not be an option until October! There is plenty of parking available. I did not see a drive-through and that is ok with me.

On my first trip, I was a little overwhelmed since they don't offer the typical "specialty" drink menu. I asked the barista for a recommendation, and wow--she did not disappoint! She suggested an iced latte with toasted marshmallow and white mocha. I went for a large with an extra shot (needed that caffeine boost for studying), and it was incredible. Ever since, it's been my go-to order. Today's visit was an even bigger treat. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the irresistible aroma of freshly baked goods. I learned they make all of their pastries in-house! I was recommended the cinnamon muffin, which had just come out of the oven--and let me tell you, it was ooey-gooey perfection. Moist, sweet, generously sized, and only $2.75! My 16 oz iced latte was $5.75, which is super reasonable. To top it off, they source their beans from a local roaster who's deeply passionate about the craft. I love knowing I'm supporting a local coffee shop that, in turn, supports other small local businesses. Couldn't recommend this place more

The biscuit was a nice touch since I haven't seen that offered at any of the other coffeeshops I have visited in Bakersfield. Not only did I enjoy my order, but it's also very reasonably priced. The sandwich wasn't huge, but I actually appreciate the option to get a lighter breakfast at a lower price. I get tired of paying too much money for more food than I even want.

We ordered the Filthy Chai, a strawberry puff pastry, and the Cascara Latte, which was completely new to me. The barista recommended it, and I fell in love with the flavors on the very first sip! It had this subtle honey floral flavor that wasn't overly sweet and paired beautifully with the oat milk. Such a unique and delicious latte! The strawberry puff pastry tasted like an elevated Pop-Tart minus the frosting, tapping into those nostalgic flavors we all grew up loving, but with a more sophisticated twist. And the Dirty Chai? A classic that never disappoints. I especially love that they make their own syrups. You can really taste the care that goes into their drinks. Another bonus is that they have a presence at the farmers market at Haggin Oaks, which is even closer to home for me. It's so convenient to grab a cup while I'm there picking up fresh produce for the week. I love having the option to visit the cafe or catch them at the market.
