    Came here for a Father's Day treat. It was not as expected. We received water but the hard plastic cups were dirty with debris floating in one and another cup has a rough rim all around it, it would cut a lip. The ice cream was good. The men's restroom did not have any soap, and it was really dirty. It was a disappointing visit.

    I see the sweet, but show me savory  Couldn't find it

    After a late dinner, the family was wanting a sweet treat. I wanted to head downtown for my favorite ice cream spot but ultimately ended up settling for Dewars because it was getting late. Depending on what you're looking for the menu seemed a bit thin. I appreciate unique creations and it just consisted of all your classic cravings (shakes, sundaes, etc.) I have a nice sweet tooth but couldn't quite find what I was looking for, so settled for an ice cream sandwich. Can't go wrong? Yea, no. It was literally a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between a chocolate chip cookie. In spite of it being a sandwich, it was ironic because it didn't come together well at all. The cookie was cold and dry, too thick, and crumbled easily. It would have been much better had it been a warm nice and soft cookie. It didn't help that the ice cream was also very firm. It felt like 2 ingredients put together that failed to be cohesive. I'm sorry, not impressed. Next time I'll plan accordingly and head downtown. Despite the late night, the young lady that helped us was very sweet and energetic.

    A classic in town with delicious sundaes and ice cream! Really a big fan of their peppermint chews too! Inside is always decorated so cute for the season. Valentines and Christmas are one of my favorites!

    Lots of seating

    We had such a great time here! Emily, our server, made the experience so much fun. I don't usually eat ice cream, but my friends absolutely love this place. The employees are fantastic! 12/6/24

    I've been to Dewar's quite a few times, but why don't I remember the root beer floats literally floating? LOL The root beer float was yummy and made for a good laugh. Every time I come to Dewar's, I order vanilla ice cream in some form. This time as a float. It's simple yet delicious! Dewar's is a great spot to enjoy ice cream with friends. The iconic pink seats and the playful decor make it such a fun place. Service is swift and friendly too.

    There is an old school ice cream parlor vibe once I walked in, which was cool. We sat ourselves and a server came over to take our order. We ordered a child's scoop, birthday cake flavored ice cream with crushed walnuts. I love the vibrant colors of this place. Definitely a place to recommend since it's a Bakersfield staple.

    My mother is a native of Bakersfield and relocated decades ago. In town for a family event, we just had to visit Dewar's. Every single employee smiled and greeted us immediately. Jill was our server who was absolutely both patient and amazing. She answered our questions, made recommendations based on our likes and shared her favorites. The ice cream decision was so tough, but we landed on two Sundaes: butter finger, English toffee/pumpkin and eggnog with cold caramel and walnuts. Cold, sweet, creamy, all of the things! Gabryelle at the candy shop nearly had me purchasing all the pistachio chews...delicious! I loved the Dewar's "museum wall" chronicling the family's history in the candy business. Bakersfield is very fortunate to have such a "sweet experience" such as Dewar's. I understand my mom's childhood stories better now!

    Another Dewar's victory even with a massive ice cream headache! Two single scoops and a bunch of chews, and only $16. And the service was friendly!

    Small Sundae with Cookies and cream -strawberry ice cream , marshmallow fluff and chopped almonds.
    Henry S.

    Dewar's original location is the best one in my opinion , such a nostalgic feel when you come in through the doors , you get a warm and cozy feeling especially during Christmas time. The ice cream is the best in town ,especially the strawberry in my opinion. If it's your first time I definitely recommend a two scoop sundae or banana split with marshmallow fluff and chopped almonds.

    I'm looking for reviews of their taffy flavors and quality? Do they have other candy like fudge?

    Their chews are outstanding. My favorite is Pistachio. The holiday peppermint is very nice and a welcome treat. The Peanut Butter is good too. I have never had any that were not very good.… Read more

    What ice cream concoction is the best bang for your buck?

    Does the moose lip sing?

    Yes. However the last time I was there (a week ago) he was broken. They are fixing him. He is still on the wall.

The matcha Dalonga is rich and creamy and very stable. It doesn't melt into your drink until stirred. They use a strawberry purée and fresh muddled strawberries for a sweet and tart flavor. Combination works well. I look forward to trying other drink options. On my first visit, I also ordered Bungeoppang "carp bread," is a highly popular Korean street food. It is a fish-shaped pastry with a crispy, waffle-like exterior filled with your choice of fillings. Texture is crispy but also a bit chewy (kinda like mochi). I ordered 3 (mozzarella, Nutella and custard) all three flavors were delicious. These are made to order and take about 15-20 minutes to make. Cafe Tori's menu has many options. The cafe was very clean, organized and spacious. The self-serve kiosk is their preferred method of ordering as there are only two people working. Both staff were very friendly but extremely busy. The owner was there both times that I went. This place is located in a strip mall so plenty of parking however, during peak lunch and dinner times, Maui Pho customers take the majority of the parking near Cafe Tori. Please support Cafe Tori, they are a small local business. My commitment to 2026, support my local businesses.

Something old-world maybe?

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.

My brother recommended Devil & Angel Desserts, so I figured why not give it a try! This was actually my very first time trying a Korean corn dog, and after my brother ordered one, I immediately copied him lol. He went for the Hot Cheeto-covered mozzarella corn dog, while I chose the potato corn dog with half mozzarella and half sausage. Honestly, I was sooo happy with my choice! The potatoes on the outside were perfectly crispy, nicely salted, and super satisfying. It definitely filled me up, and I ended up liking it way more than I expected. I also really liked how modern and convenient the self-service ordering screens were, and both of our orders came out surprisingly fast.
