    Grill Grilled Cheese
    Miriam P.

    Everything was sooooooooooooo good! Everyone was so nice we had the back room reserved for an event. It was a rainy day so I ordered a grilled cheese and tomato soup it really was the perfect meal for the weather! The chai was my favorite the seasonal drink hot was the best!

    Santa Fe chicken salad which
    Heidi L.

    I work out in the gray area between Bakersfield and Shafter and there aren't many options for lunch. When Tin Cup Coffee opened on Lerdo Hwy. I thought it was a nice addition to the area considering there isn't much like it nearby. I started coming here years ago after they first opened and found they are so much more than just a coffee shop. They a good breakfast selection and their lunch options were a pleasant surprise. So years later I realized I have never given them a review. Today I called in an order and got the Santa Fe chicken salad which was delish! The only warning I have is that it comes with a spicy chipotle ranch which is definitely a spicy kick. I personally love it but those that are sensitive to spicy may want to change their dressing to one of their other options. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful and the establishment is always super clean. And I always get an iced tea because it tastes fresh everytime! My personal favorite is the peach iced tea. If you like soup they have a daily schedule and some of their soups sell out quickly so put your order in early. I haven't had their soup for awhile but I know their loaded potato and chili always go quickly from past ordering. And can't forget about their coffee selections, hot or iced, always good.

    Light relaxing music in the background. Very rustic/ industrial decor. You order at the counter and food is delivered table side. Very Friendly staff and my food came out quickly. I ordered the Cobb salad it was excellent! Freshly made ranch dressing. Generous portions of bacon lardons instead of small bacon bits. Delicious bleu cheese, lightly roasted chicken breast, boiled egg with crunchy fresh lettuce. I'll definitely be back.

    I was visiting the town and this time we went inside to eat. It was around noon and it was packed all the tables. But no line to order so we checked at the menu on the wall and choose what we want but at the time we reach the cashier and make our order she informed us that the wall menu it wasn't updated that they remove so many items from the menu and coincidentally was the item we want to ordered. So now they don't have anymore the vegetarian options bagel that it was really good. Also they remove a Monique coffee that I used to buy too. So we need to change our options. And the mango smoothie was a disappointment because it wasn't made with real fruit it was just a syrup with ice. Also when they serve our food they didn't let us know that the drink we have to pick it up they don't deliver to the table and also no napkins.

    All I can say is wow!!!! The food is amazing. Fresh , quality ingredients. Price is average. Service is friendly and pretty quick. I ordered ahead and picked up. Ambiance is good. Cute little coffee shop style. Closes by to and caters to working people schedule. If you find yourself in Shafter, go check it out.

    Have not spent much time in Shafter, but work does take me there. I was happy to find this gem! This place is huge! It had lots of seating and is a great place to meet fiends for coffee, and breakfast or enjoy some great lunch! I really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the people working were so nice! The girl who took my order suggest the turkey wrap and suggest adding chipotle aioli it was delicious! Will be back for more coffee and food!

    Strawberry matcha
    Carina A.

    Oh my gosh!!! This place is so cute!!! It's giving I'm in a country movie vibe!!! It was Thursday so they had the special tomato soup. The location itself is super cute but as the food it was okay. The matcha tasted a little off and the tomato soup was ehh, if that makes sense. The service was super fast because I was the only one in there.

    I have been to Tin Cup before in the drive-thru, but this weekend I decided to come here for a sit down lunch and explore the menu a little more. Its a short, but pleasant, drive from Bakersfield and really easy to find! The restaurant was fairly large and very well maintained. They have a surprisingly extensive menu for being a "coffee" place! The staff were all absolute sweethearts and were very patient with us when we took a long time to place our order.. bless their hearts for *very patiently* waiting on my indecisive 13 year old and 3 year old to each finally decide what they wanted to eat lol My littlest kiddo was sad to learn that the mac and cheese was discontinued, but she was happy to try the strawberry cronut! (Again, we hadn't been here for food before, but I looked ahead at the menu and mentioned to her that they had mac n cheese lol... my mistake! Moral of this story -- don't mention the mac and cheese to your kids lol.) I have a nut allergy, but I really wanted to try the Berry Salad. The staff assured me that all menu items are made to order so it would be no problem for them to make my salad without nuts! I liked that they were so knowledgeable about the items on the menu and were able to help me ensure I didn't accidently ingest any nuts. The drinks that my kids got were delicious! Mine was not my favorite, but that was my own fault for ordering sugar free AND coconut milk. Don't let this deter you, because all of the other drinks were GLORIOUS lol

    This is loaded biscuits and gravy with an extra helping of scrambled eggs.  Not even close.  Barely any gravy.
    Becky O.

    Very skimpy on portions. Loaded biscuits and gravy should be swimming with gravy. Loaded is supposed to have biscuit, hash brown, bacon bits and egg. I paid for an extra egg. Did not get the egg or the hash brown. I do not eat the biscuit so you can imagine how crappy breakfast was. Upside down macchiato extra hot. Barely 3/4 full. Was shocked at how light the cup was. Trying to support local business, but the quality has to be worth the extra money.

    A load of bacon.

This place really missed the mark there. I have to say the worst part about this experience was their inability to honor their own gift certificate. I had purchased 2 $15 g/c on pricetrader and when I went to use them the waitress appeared dumbfounded. There was no expiration date or limited term use. I even checked to make sure that the balance would carry. In the end and with a bill less than $15, I had to explain to both her, and a man I'll assume was Pappy, what "Balance Will Carry" means. I felt silly arguing over a few dollars, but I felt that it was a misrepresentation to their patrons and disservice to those that use Pricetrader and other similar websites. In the end they issued the balance on a new g/c. But, I do not think I will be back. If I really crave their Krazy Krunchy Freedom toast I'll go to the real Pappy's on Rosedale Hwy or maybe head to the Red Wagon for gigantic pancakes and awesome service.
