Chicken sandwhich came on stale toasted bread, chicken was so tough and jerky like. Chicken wrap had a chicken only In the center and covered in some cheap store bought Caesar dressing. No drink orders ahead of us but for some reason still takes 20 min to get drinks? Staff are nice, bathrooms are clean, lots of seating areas. I don't think I'll ever return for food. I don't know why but I feel it's so the epitome of disrespect to take money for food of this quality and think it's ok to serve?

The portions are always generous, which makes both my eyes and my stomach happy! I always order the chicken pesto crêpe; it's my go-to. My only wish is that they used freshly grilled chicken instead of canned, because I think it would take this dish to the next level. They're currently remodeling, and I can't wait to see the new look. With all the great changes happening downtown, this place is only getting better.

I have lived Cafeinado since I discovered them back in 2023. They made the lattes just perfect!…read moreUnfortunately, recently you can tell the people working do not care what they give out. This has happened many times! The workers are friendly, but I don't know if they're told to work fast? And that causes many mess ups from my experience. I'd rather wait and get an order I wanted rather than have a rushed latte and have it taste bad. I never like leaving bad reviews, but the other day I was upset because I waste my own money to try and support local businesses, but my latte the other day did not taste like anything but sugar! I tried their pumpkin horchata and it didn't taste like pumpkin. I'm not one to make a scene so I just threw those drinks away. The quality needs to be worked on, because a latte can't just be sugary, it needs flavor. And today is what got me to write a review! I ordered a blended energizer after a long day of school, and it does come blended but there's is too many chunks of ice. The ice was so chunky the drink melted within the first 7 minutes I had it, which should not happen with a blended drink that is made properly. I'm highly disappointed with how Cafeinados quality has done down, and you can tell they came to Bakersfield to make a quick buck, and on top of that, use AI at their brick and motar location? Please do better.

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 modern and hip and looks much better than most strip-mall businesses in town. There are lots of tables and plenty of seating if you want to hang out, and they also do a great job with presentation. As soon as I walked in I was immediately and warmly greeted by the nice people behind the counter. Their menu has a variety of food/drink options without being overwhelming, which I appreciate. I had an iced Americano and the breakfast sandwich. The sandwich had egg, cheese, and turkey sausage on a biscuit. 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.

No extra fluff with it, too many places add things to make theirs quirky and unique, but this was pretty close to perfection and very filling. It was very cute inside and they have a nice menu. I was sad that I did not get the Going Bananas, as that seems like a whole meal in itself, but I'll get it soon. They also will be getting desserts soon as well as they just opened. They have a focus on health and protein so you can come here with a clear conscience.(Google Review) I did end up coming a second time and getting the Going Bananas as a Matcha Tea with oat milk, and it was really good. Very balanced, the bananas did not overpower the drink, and it was not overly sweet. Since the drink had protein, it was able to serve as a meal replacement for me. I'm both instances they were able to get my orders pretty fast and the people working their were very friendly and accommodating.

Delicious, fresh, simple and clean. Love, love, love this pozole. $15.00 The chile verde pork burrito, which I ordered without any additional ingredients, is also delicious. Chunks of pork in a tasty chili verde sauce. Definitely enjoyed this burrito! Great customer service, delicious & fresh food! Definitely recommend and will return. Support small, local businesses!

It took a while to be approached by the staff and then luckily seated quickly because a table was miraculously open. But after that we rarely saw our waitress. Long waits in between ordering, receiving food, receiving check etc It was decorated lightly for Harry Potter over its regular decor which was confusing, but the waitress said the owner loved Harry Potter and it was his birthday. 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. I'm not sure I'll be back on a weekend, not worth the hassle. Would try on a weekday
