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.

Can't argue with that, pop off dude. The food itself was good. I had a latte and a breakfast burrito with chile verde and fruit pancakes. The chile verde was the best part of the meal. Everything else was pretty average and typical for breakfast food. I did like their extensive menu and Mexican American flavors, it was a fun touch.

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. I got a breakfast sandwich and an iced coffee for about $10, which was awesome. I plan to visit again soon.

The Build: After asking the very nice workers for a recommendation, I skipped the breakfast burrito and went with the Brioche French Toast, which comes with strawberries, rich butter, and an ample amount of syrup for dipping. I also noticed they had a banana matcha on the menu and just had to try it. The Flavor Profile: Taste-wise, the brioche French toast was absolutely heavenly and did not disappoint. The rich butter melted easily, the strawberries added the perfect touch, and there was plenty of syrup to go around. The banana matcha was an absolute standout as well, honestly one of the best banana matchas I have ever tried. There really wasn't a single letdown with the food or drinks.

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.
