I had no idea this locally owned coffee shop existed in Bakersfield until Yelp! There are even 3…read morelocations- one in downtown, on Panama Ln, and this one. I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

I stopped by Mokha Cafe during a recent Bakersfield visit. I wanted to get some coffee before…read moregetting back on the freeway, and I saw that this spot had positive reviews and was nearby. The cafe is located in a plaza with ample parking spots, and the employees I interacted with were polite and efficient. I ordered a Turkish coffee and thought it was a great version of the drink; it may have been small in size, but it had a potent flavor. There was a good amount of indoor seating, and I could see this cafe being a fine spot to linger in for a while.

Cafeinado is such a vibe. I enjoyed a delicious turkey sandwich and took a meeting in their cute,…read moreshaded outdoor hang out area. Cafeinado has created their very own fun slice of paradise in this ordinary strip mall parking lot, with grooving Latin music to complete the vibe. The turkey sandwich was recommended by the nice lady in the window taking orders, and it was pure toasted goodness. The sandwich made the perfect snack in such a fun environment. They unfortunately do not have public WiFi for customers, and connection there was spotty for Verizon. But maybe that's an opportunity for it to be more of a in the moment hang out type of vibe, which I will definitely be back to do.

Came here craving for a quick coffee and didn't want to get off. Very convenient they have a drive…read morethru. I got an Iced Cinnamon Toast and it is so amazing. It's more on the sweet side. The strawberry smoothie is nice and refreshing. It's like an ICEE. And I also got a Shredded Beef and Bean Griller. It stated there's cheese and beans in it , but this tasted like only meat. And it's pretty small. I'm just going to stick to their coffee tbh. We waited maybe 7 minutes for the beef Griller itself; it took awhile. Overall, the coffee saved it all for me.

Finally made it to Faith Coffee Shop and it definitely lived up to the hype! The only thing I…read morewished for was a slightly friendlier and more enthusiastic host to guide me through the menu and explain all the fun coffee options But hey, maybe they were busy preparing for the storm, so no hard feelings! I quickly trusted my friend's recommendation and ordered the famous tiramisu latte and WOW... it was basically dessert in a cup! My usual coffee choice is a little stronger, but this was such a delicious treat and the perfect cozy first sip of the day. The atmosphere was honestly my favorite part. The second I walked in, I loved the uplifting Christian vibes. There was a joyful group of ladies laughing and chatting, and their energy completely filled the room with warmth and kindness. It felt welcoming, lively, and peaceful. Overall, such a sweet experience and definitely a fun little Bakersfield coffee stop I'd come back to!

I can't say enough about this cute faith based coffee shop! Because it's tucked off the main road,…read moreI don't think many realize it's here. As my Book Club was looking for a coffee shop to get together to do vision boards, I thought of it based off of my daughter's recommendation. She and her friends have come here to study, and the vibe is perfect for it! Welcoming staff, delicious coffee (hot and cold) and juices, rotating bakery items, a cute gift shop/a book store right next door, a prayer wall, and lots of different and comfortable seating arrangements make this coffee shop one that you have to visit. After spending the morning doing vision boards here with the girls, several indicated that this will become their "go to" from now on. Highly recommend!

Been meaning to go to this for a while now. Keep driving by when it's already closed…read more Came in and immediately love the space and decor. It's pretty big overall and I just love that for the area. Got a cold brew, a short bread cookie matcha latte and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. All were pretty great. The cookie was the best. I haven't had such a soft cookie given to me at an establishment in a long while. It was a great surprise. The latte was well balanced. Wasn't too sweet and I could taste everything they said was in it. Liked it quite a bit. Fiancé liked his cold brew as well, he was glad he got a large. Service was great! Everyone was nice and answered all our questions. Will try and come here more often!

I really wanted to like Bakersfield Coffee Roasters. I'm new to town and first visited back in…read moreOctober, excited to find a local coffee spot with a strong community feel. The space is actually one of their biggest strengths there's a lot of seating, plenty of room to bring your laptop and work remotely, and areas where people can gather. It's also connected to a church, so it definitely leans into that community-centered atmosphere. Unfortunately, after going back 3-4 times hoping my experience would improve, the coffee has been consistently disappointing. It tastes burnt and weak at the same time like warm water with sugar. There barely seems to be any real espresso in the drinks. On more than one occasion, I've taken several sips hoping it would get better... and ended up throwing the whole drink away because it was just that bad. That's honestly frustrating, especially when you're paying for specialty coffee. The only drink I've actually enjoyed there is the pumpkin spice latte, that one was solid.

5* coffee .5* for the food…read morefound this place by total accident. I was in town for a wrestling tournament and decided to walk to the arena from my hotel. As I was walking I saw the sign for this place and was happy I did because my other coffee options were a fast food restaurant or the famous coffee chain. It was a bit confusing to locate. It was tucked away in the back of a commercial office space type building. Once inside the place was very clean and organized. Very minimalist design. I was only one of 4 total people inside. My order was taken quickly. I ordered an iced americano with a ham and cheese turnover. Coffee was on point. No notes. No complaints. The pastry however was not good. They asked me if I wanted it heated up. I said I did. I saw her put it in the microwave, and I assumed they turned it on. When I bit into it (I had already left and walked across the street) it was cold. Like cold cold. On top of that it was flavorless which made it worse. Stick to the coffee or make sure you check the temp of the food prior to leaving.

This is a hidden gem of a coffee shop with plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a…read moregreat place to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. I ordered a lavender latte with oat milk, and it was flavorful but not overly sweet. The food menu is small, with a few baked goods available. As a vegan, the only option I found was instant oatmeal with a selection of dried fruit and nuts to mix in. While I appreciated having a vegan option, I would love to see a few more plant-based choices added to the menu. Overall, I enjoyed my visit and would definitely return for the coffee and the comfortable space to meet with friends.

Been here twice and look forward to a lot more visits. Both visits I ordered the Organic Strawberry…read moreMatcha Dalonga. This is my absolute favorite. 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.

Been here a couple of times & this is the best Vietnamese coffee spot in Bakersfield for sure! Not…read moreonly is the coffee super strong, the foam is sooo good (cream cheesy, salty and sweet) & it's really affordable too. The drinks usually come out pretty quick & are consistent every time :). The only thing that's kinda weird is how warm it is inside! I also don't think you can study here bc there's no WiFi -- but it would be a nice place to come and catch up w friends! Also, they're currently doing a 2 for 1 sale! (4/26/26). I took a short hiatus for a bit because I had a bad experience with one of the baristas being a bit short / rude lol, but thank you to Brandon for being so bright / helpful after I asked so many questions! I was able to make a decision pretty quickly after he allowed me to try a small sample of the tiramisu foam top. If you're somebody who likes the drinks pretty sweet, I would recommend getting a higher level of sweetness bc again, the coffee is pretty strong / bitter (just how I like it, personally). I really love the banana Vietnamese coffee (wish it was a banana top; but the bananas are blended in and you can def taste the chunks -- which I like bc I hate artificial banana taste) & the tiramisu Vietnamese coffee is super good as well. I have yet to try any other drinks yet bc the coffee is just so good :)

First time trying this place, and it was good. However, it…read morewould be really great if the drinks had a description to know exactly what it has. We were surprised that the Aloe Vera drink had jelly (which I would have preferred without) so it just would have been nice to know prior to ordering.

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.

If you're planning on stopping by, I'd highly recommend ordering online or ahead of time because it…read moregets busy fast. Seating is limited both indoor and outdoors. 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 .
