I was tired of fast food on our road trip and wanted something more real. We stopped here to check it out and everything about our experience was perfect. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted within 30 seconds even though the 3 servers on the floor were VERY busy, they got back with us within a minute, sat us, and immediately got a drink order. When they came back they asked if we were ready to order. We were in a hurry, so when the Server came back to quality check our food we ordered dessert to go and asked for the check so we could get back on the road as we were eager to get home. We were so impressed with our service and honestly, the delicious diner food, that we planned to stop here again on our way home from our yearly trip this year. We had a different server this year, but everything about the experience was identical. Wonderful, tasty, timely, kind... Thank you, Willow Ranch staff, we will certainly make you part of our plan every year! I also wanted to note that I am a career server and the details matter to me. It is so amazing when someone like myself can receive the kind of service that I am proud to give when I'm working. I also witnessed the front of house staff engaging in friendly banter with the kitchen staff and I just love that. I am also close with the team on our line and I think that makes a huge difference in the overall performance of the restaurant.

Ok on to the food... I tried a bacon cheeseburger, cheese-sticks, teriyaki chicken, and barbecue chicken. The presentation of the burger is lacking, however I bit into it and the flavor was amazing. Do not let the look fool you. The cheese-sticks were super crunchy and fat. So good but wish they offered marinara instead of ranch. Barbecue chicken was bold and beautiful and little spicy but lacked a little flavor. On the flip side the teriyaki looked blah but was amazing in taste. Service was friendly, and quick.

He had that "mentally on airplane mode" energy -- eyes glazed, soul clearly clocked out, body barely hanging in there. I wasn't sure if he was taking my order or just trying to remember how much fentanyl he took. It's impressive, honestly. Three separate sandwiches, three separate chances to get it right, and they said "Nope. Consistency matters. Let's mess all of them up." For $50+, I shouldn't need to BYOC -- Bring Your Own Condiments just to make the food edible. Do better, please. My taste buds and my bank account are still recovering.

The Build: After asking the very nice workers for a recommendation, I skipped the breakfast burrito and went with the Brioche French Toast, which comes with strawberries, rich butter, and an ample amount of syrup for dipping. I also noticed they had a banana matcha on the menu and just had to try it. The Flavor Profile: Taste-wise, the brioche French toast was absolutely heavenly and did not disappoint. The rich butter melted easily, the strawberries added the perfect touch, and there was plenty of syrup to go around. The banana matcha was an absolute standout as well, honestly one of the best banana matchas I have ever tried. There really wasn't a single letdown with the food or drinks. The Verdict: This is a wonderful, quiet little spot with great service and easy 2-hour street parking right outside. Whether you're looking for a cute place to meet a friend or a nice environment to sit down and do some work, I would highly recommend checking it out.

They also had a cute takeout yogurt, parfait that my sister-in-law loved! Since we got it to go, they even put napkins and a fork, along with a miniature glass tub of honey in the bag! So cute and quaint to have her all set up with our takeout breakfast!! The latte I had was delicious and hit the spot perfectly! Espresso wasn't burnt and tasting since I'm very picky, and she really enjoyed her cup of coffee as well. The barista also told us that she could keep the cup and get free refills all day! What a great deal!! The only thing I was sad about is the fact I couldn't stay longer and get an actual hot breakfast from there takeout menu! There were so many items that look delicious and I saw other customers already ordered them, but we were in a time crunch! I will definitely be back at the Padre hotel and we will definitely be a guest at the coffee shop in the morning!

I…read moreactually pass this place almost everyday for work and my oldest son used to go to the Jr High around the corner many years ago, but I never visited until last year. Since then, I have now visited a few times and I kind of regret not coming earlier. On our last visit a few weeks ago when my youngest was down for spring break we came for breakfast and even my kids were surprised how good the food was. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal of the day and possibly the rest of my family because we all love eggs. My sons definitely want to come back and this place is already a place me and my husband loves to visit now. When you first walk in, you can't help but feel an older diner feel, the decoration is vintage and it almost looks like a restaurant from the 80s. Every time I have visited now, there's always people dining in, so this seems like a nice place Bakersfield people like to visit. The restaurant looks clean, just outdated. Service is always great, we have always been greeted with friendliness and patience because we never know what we want and sometimes we take time to order. Coffee is nice, they make the coffee semi strong which is perfect for me. Parking is a little crazy sometimes because of the surrounding businesses, but if you're like me and lived in Bakersfield for years and haven't visited, then you need to make your way out to check this place out!

We ordered the chicken fried steak and peach Belgian waffles, and both were outstanding. The steak was tender, and the gravy was smooth, rich, and full of flavor. The waffles were fluffy, soft, and tasted homemade--absolutely delicious. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service make this place a must‑visit. We'll definitely be coming back very soon.

As a customer, this raises legitimate concerns about food safety and the possibility of becoming ill.

After comparing several review sites, we chose this spot because it was conveniently located near the freeway and had a great selection of coffee and baked goods. I'm glad we did because it ended up being an excellent stop. Parking was easy, with plenty of open spaces right in front of the bakery. When we walked in, we were greeted by a very friendly staff. Most of the employees primarily spoke Spanish, which is pretty common for an authentic Mexican bakery. Thankfully my girlfriend speaks Spanish, which made ordering easier, though everyone was still welcoming and helpful. The layout is nice. There's a small dining area on one side, while the other side features the coffee counter, a small selection of Mexican grocery items, and display cases packed with fresh pastries and breads. The selection is impressive. They had conchas, empanadas, croissants, yoyos, polvorones, muffins, churros, cinnamon rolls, pineapple cakes, Mexican donuts, vanilla and pineapple pastries, niño envuelto, cannoli-style pastries, and many other traditional baked goods. I ordered the apple empanada, which was excellent, along with another pastry that my girlfriend explained was topped with a cream cheese and butter mixture covered in sugar. It was incredibly sweet, but absolutely delicious. For drinks, I ordered the large Carlos V iced coffee, and my girlfriend ordered the Duvalín coffee, which is inspired by the popular Mexican candy. We both really enjoyed our drinks. One thing I thought was especially nice is that the specialty coffees come with a small conchita on top, making them an even better value. At around $7.95 for a large, it's a great deal considering you're getting both a specialty coffee and fresh bread. Their coffee menu is extensive. Beyond their specialty drinks, they also offer lattes, cappuccinos, Americanos, mochas, macchiatos, espresso, frappes, hot chocolate, iced hot chocolate, teas, lemonades, aguas frescas, and plenty of flavored syrups like vanilla, hazelnut, brown sugar, cinnamon, caramel, coconut, white chocolate, and chocolate. I also used the restroom during our visit, and it was spotless. It was so clean that I actually went back and told my girlfriend she should use it before we got back on the road because it was one of the cleanest public restrooms we'd come across that day. Overall, this was a fantastic stop. Easy parking, friendly service, clean facilities, excellent coffee, and an outstanding selection of authentic Mexican pastries. I would absolutely stop here again anytime I'm passing through Bakersfield and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great Mexican bakery and coffee shop.
