Starbucks

I had PD (professional development) at nearby Cato MS and I was really needing coffee. So I…read moresearched up nearby places that were eclectic and Summit popped up. 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. The latte was delicious and the muffin is large enough to share but I doubt anyone would because it is really good.

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

(Yes, there's free wifi!) The dragonfruit lychee butterfly tea was really good. It's pretty and tastes great. The lychee flavor is the top note for me and then it's followed by the dragonfruit flavor. The butterfly pea adds to the aesthetic but I swear it doesn't actually have a flavor. I like that I can just order from an app or at the front. I prefer the app because it gives me time to be indecisive.
