    This has been a long time favorite for many years! Back in 2014 we ordered our 3 Tier wedding cake Red Velvet, Matterhorn, and vanilla. Today we still come in for little treats. We love the Vanilla cheesecake, cookie butter and Matterhorn cupcakes. I tried the Dubai Brownie and it was a 10/10. This place is SWEET so be prepared to Surrender!! The staff are so friendly here and very helpful and overall have an inviting ambiance.

    A cute little gem in Bakersfield, it serves as a little boutique and local favorite for some sweets. The service is always fast and friendly. A great outdoor seating if you want to enjoy your sweets outside. I definitely would recommend this place for your next special occasion cupcakes, cookies, or cake.

    Overpriced cake but they sell jelly cakes which I'll be coming back to buy. Cake wasn't the greatest Two slices for $20, big cakes range from $60 and up Service was friendly Ambiance was like a kids Toy Story and gift shop that sells cakes

    This local bakery is my family's go-to for special event cakes. Their cakes are dense, flavorful, and never dry. One side of the shop is the bakery with coffee, cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. The other side of the shops is a seasonal boutique with candles, jewelry, home goods, and clothing. My only constructive feedback is I wish their clothing line sweatshirts and caps didn't promote so much day drinking (think glitter Rock Republic 1990's vibe.) The shop is so cute there is room for more memes, comical, and inspiring things than "let's get drunk off wine" apparel. Regardless, their baked goods take the cake!!

    Iced vanilla latte

    First time hearing about this bakery!! A coworker was making a big order from here and asked if we wanted anything so I decided to order their iced vanilla latte! It was pretty good but it definitely lived up to the bakery's name of being sweet. But i would love to come back and try a different drink and try their cake! But overall, the drink tasted yummy :)

    Their IG reference to the cake i wanted

    I purchased a strawberry shortcake cheesecake for my birthday and the presentation did not come as advertised. Their social media advertises it with strawberries on top. I was pretty bummed out opening it up at home and realizing it didn't have strawberries, especially for a $85 cake. When I ordered they asked if i wanted to add wording for an additional cost, but I wasn't asked if i wanted to add strawberries for an additional cost so i assumed it is included? Overall i don't feel like i got what i wanted.

    Stupid peep rice Krispie

    Usually Sweet Surrender is consistent and great, but something is up lately. Idk if change in staff or management, but whatever it is needs to be changed back lol. We order my nephews birthday cake from here every year, funfetti with the fondant polka dots. This year they tell us they don't do the polka dots anymore, just sprinkles??? He doesn't like sprinkles. So now we have a boring cake that we have to put our own fondant circles on- super annoying, especially for how expensive their products are. I also order a Rice Krispie treat, and I can't really see it because it's far away but it looks yellow. I ask the employee why it's yellow and she says it's "colored marshmallow" and I say okay... I get to the counter to pay and it's already in the bag and I don't check because homegirl said it was a colored marshmallow. I get home and it's got PEEPS in it. Bro, why did she say "colored marshmallow" when it is a name brand patented product called PEEPS. I despise peeps, they're disgusting. Not to mention it's July???? Why the hell are we using peeps in July, that is March/April activity. I had to call and ask for a refund and throw away this Rice Krispie all because the employee couldn't be bothered to accurately describe the product and purposefully used the vague description "colored marshmallow". She was nice, don't get me wrong, but obviously lazy at describing the products being sold. Please do better so I don't have to be annoyed and write dumb reviews.

    Oreo Cheesecake Cake

    We have been coming here for many years. It's our favorite! Everyone that works here is excited to be at work doing what they do. They take pride in keeping the place clean and fully stocked with every fun gift you could ever want to surprise a friend with. The food is to die for, ALL of it! Oreo cheesecake is my personal favorite!

    We are shopping for our wedding cake for late June. SS has traditional options and some customizable choices. We went home with sample cupcakes to help us decide what's for us. Further updates coming as we haven't decided yet. The cupcakes were delicious.

    Tres leches

    A friend recommended that we stop by while we were in Bakersfield. This shop is a bit hidden by a shopping area but your GPS should get you to the right place. Inside the bakery, there's a baked good section and then a bigger area for gifts and baking supplies. We tried the chocolate cake and tres leches. Both were good. The cakes were moist and well made.

With every purchase you are giving a youth a chance at a new future. How cool is that! Coffee for a good cause. I loved the space and the coffee and took home a bag of beans from Brazil. The Americano was hot and delicious, and the service was amazing. I loved they have foster youth working in the store. Go, and tip heavily. It's a great coffee spot.

He had a tattoo near the corner of his eye and was wearing a jersey. It really disturbed me about how he seemed to be harassing the baristas. He told one of them "your tummy is sticking out again," when she said "it's because I just ate," he said "no it's always sticking out." He them proceeded to complain to them about another employee who "decided to get knocked up right when things were getting busy," and said some other things about maternity leave. The most apalling thing was he then asked the barista "if you're pregnant and found out your son was gonna be retarded, would you do the un-Catholic thing?" She tried to brush him off by saying "it would be too late," to which he made a joke about using a "coat hanger." Truly the most apalling thing I've ever witnessed at any establishment. I never leave reviews at all, but I had to report this because it seems like this guy involved with management is bullying and harassing the employees. And this non-profit works with foster youth?! Edit: Thanks Randy for the follow up message, I really appreciate it and agree everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow from mistakes. I'll still be grabbing coffee at Covenant whenever I'm in town. Thanks again for the follow up, I really appreciate it.

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.

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.

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.
