Don't know what to order from Bagel & Blenderz because there's so many options? The correct answer…read moreis the peanut butter bagel with peanut butter cream cheese! I say that hole-heartedly (get it). Anyways, a coworker introduced me to that order and to this place and it has been a favorite! They get busy in the mornings, but the service has always been great. There's nothing like the smell of toasted bagels in the morning to start your day.

I've only tried their breakfast bagels so far and my favorites are the Rosemary Haven and the Morning Starter. The portions are generous. The latte was sold, while the matcha was a bit of sweeter than I prefer, but that's easy enough to customize the next time around. The only downside has been accuracy with my to go orders. A couple of times my order wasn't prepared correctly. As for the service, the staff is polite, it's usually packed and you can tell everyone is focused on keeping orders moving. I haven't had a chance to try their cold sandwiches or paninins yet, but they're definitely on my list for a future visit .

This is my second time visiting but I brought my mom today. It's a cute little shop that sells…read morecoffee, smoothies, pastries, and cakes. It's usually just one worker, maybe two. The girl working was nice, she was patient with us. She was doing everything on her own. The pastries were bombbb. Very fresh and soft. The drinks were tasty and we also got a coffee frappe and it was pretty strong I was surprised it wasn't sugary. I think the only uncomfortable experience was her mom came and they were just talking out loud with me and my mom sitting there. I get it though since it was very dead and mom and daughter love. Overall, nice little cafe.

My wife and I were craving a pastry and decided to stop by. The place has a lot of natural light, a…read morewelcoming environment. All of the pastries looked delicious as there were many to choose from. We decided to go with a guava pastry and another that the lady behind the counter said the inside was a brownie, so we decided to go with that. Guava pastry was delicious, although when we got to the "brownie" pastry there was no brownie. The lady did mention she was new, although the pastry we ended up with was mainly peanut butter, big difference. I know what it's like to be new, but it's always best to ask for help when in doubt. I did ask if there was a pricing menu for all of the pastries, I prefer to have a heads up of pricing before ordering and the lady said they didn't have one. Guava pastry was delicious, it would be nice to know what the pricing is since there is a lot to choose from.

The first toast was peanut butter and strawberry jelly topped with coconut flakes. The second was almond butter and banana with cocoa nibs, honey, and cinnamon. The third was Nutella and hazelnuts topped with strawberries and coconut flakes. They were all delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Nutella and hazelnut toast. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the variety made it fun to share and try different combinations. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is a cute cafe vibe. You place order at the counter and someone brings your order to your table. Smitten is definitely a must-visit spot when downtown for breakfast.

The coffee is good, but the weekend morning experience needs improvement…read more There was only one employee working during a busy morning rush, which had extremely long wait times. The shop alternates between two ordering windows on opposite sides of the building, and having additional staff to take orders at both windows would help move customers through much faster. We waited nearly 40 minutes just to order. I would have gone elsewhere, but other coffee shops in the area were closed. The quality of the coffee was good, but the staffing and ordering process need attention, especially on weekends.

Super impressive!! Everyone loved their drinks and it was a fun experience.

I had high hopes for this place or maybe I just ordered the wrong thing…read more This place is downtown Bakersfield so parking can be challenging during peak hours. Coffee shop is small and furniture looks very used, aesthetically not very appealing but I'm here for coffee, right? Several signature drink options and quite a few sugar-free options as well. I was undecided between the lavender latte and the Mexican mocha. Barista told me the Mexican mocha was her favorite, so I went with that. The coffee was extremely hot but honestly, nothing spectacular. It's was extremely basic and know I can make this at home. They used a powder mix but nothing to make it their own, just right out of can..so disappointing. They did have several baked good options. I probably wouldn't come back here. No restrooms are available for customers.

Nevertheless, it's nice to support small business owners in the community. Might come back another time.

It's a large and open shop with a variety of seating options; cafe tables, old couches, random chairs. They also have a very long patio with tons of outdoor seating. There is an eclectic and vaguely punk sort of vibe. It's clean and welcoming, but not overly polished. It's comfortable and inviting. Feels like an old-school coffeeshop from the 90s. The people who work there are also super friendly and happy to answer questions. There coffee is great and I love both the hot and cold options. The most recent time I was there I had an iced coffee and a pretty decent breakfast sandwich with eggs, cheese, and bacon on an everything bagel. It was tasty and came out quickly. The bacon was chopped up into the egg, which I liked. They also recently started selling these incredible cinnamon rolls from a local bakery called Just Cinnamon. It happened to be a Friday the last time I was there so I brought a caramel pecan roll home to share with my wife. We loved it! Dagny's has great coffee, good breakfast options, and an awesome space for hanging out. I really enjoy sitting there to read or work remotely.
