    Well I'm back again - my new "go to" place in Tehachapi. Let me just say that Ben was fabulous! A friendly, warm smile that showed how happy he is. He made some great suggestions and followed up to be sure we were happy. That guy is amazing! Today we had my all time favorite- the cheese bread with bacon bits and jalapenos (10/10). Ben suggested some chipotle sauce for dipping and that was a plus. We also were interested in a pizza this time and there was Ben suggesting the BBQ chicken one. You nailed it Ben (10/10)! What a fantastic lunch with my bestie. Thanks Ben and TK's for keeping this girl well fed and happy! See ya again.

    I had a really enjoyable experience here and would absolutely come back. We started with the fried pickles, and they were delicious--crispy on the outside, perfectly tangy on the inside, and clearly fried fresh. Easily one of the highlights of the meal. The chicken wings were another standout: cooked perfectly with a great texture and a well-balanced lemon pepper flavor that wasn't overpowering or too salty. This isn't full table service--you order at the counter and then find a seat--but honestly, it worked really well. The food came out super fast, which is always appreciated, especially when dining with kids. Speaking of kids, mine loved their pizza. That alone says a lot, because they rarely ever finish their food, and this time they cleaned their plates. I ordered the chicken fettuccine, which had a nice texture and was cooked well, though the flavor itself was a little on the bland side. That said, the garlic bread that came with it was awesome--warm, buttery, and packed with flavor, making up for what the pasta lacked. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself has great décor and felt very neat, clean, and well maintained throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bathrooms could use a bit of restoration, but even there, the beer placards hanging on the walls were a fun and thoughtful touch that added character.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Parking was not an issue at all, as the restaurant is located in a shopping complex with plenty of available parking, which made the visit stress-free from start to finish. Overall, great food, fast service, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a well-kept space. A solid spot whether you're dining with kids or just grabbing a casual meal. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try.

    Well it's been 13 years since my last visit here, we remembered why we don't like it. We had friends come into town, and they love this place. First, this is not the place to go if you want to have a good conversation and actually hear them talk. It's so LOUD! Second, the food just isn't good in our opinion. People love it. It's Just not our experience. They take your order at the register. They ask for a tip when you sign like most places. They don't refill drinks or check on you after bringing your food. Keep that in mind for the tipping process. The sandwiches were mostly bread, but not in a good way. Dry, flakey, and unappealing. The onion rings were not crispy, just greasy. The pesto chicken sandwich wasn't great either. This is just not our place. We wouldn't return unless friends requested this place. 6/6/25

    This pizza and food is always amazing. The staff are super attentive and friendly. They are very helpful with ordering and sometimes give you free samples of the new food items. We stop here every time we come to California from Vegas. Love the cozy friendly atmosphere and you always meet a new friend. Do yourself a favor and stop by you will not regret it well Maybe you will because you will be coming back more frequently. Hats off to Josh and the crew who makes you want to just stop by and grab one of there many craft beer selections

    I am a fan. Not too far from home for a day trip. It's all about the crust for me, and they do it right. Quality ingredients and great preparation on the pizza. I'm a picky pizza person, and they haven't let me down. Always warm welcoming service, and a clean and spacious dining room. Make a stop if you are in town and hungry for pizza.

    Been loving in Tehachapi two years now, and I've slowly explored the local food options. This is easily my favorite pizza around here. The crust was thicker than I was used to but was crisp on the outside and cooked perfect through. Also tried the sweet potato fries which were crispy and perfect as well. Beer selection was solid. Staff were friendly and helpful, not pushy at all, only helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior was comfy and set up for a more communal dining experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not sure how it'd hold up at busier times, but for an early lunch it was comfy and perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back again.

    Boneless buffalo wings. This was two from the basket.  My kid took the rest lol.
    Mark T.

    Stopped by after my teams soccer game today. Great service! Very friendly staff. Ordered boneless buffalo wings. Perfection. Garlic cheese bread I hate to eat was a little too salty/buttery/greasy? Chile verde pizza was excellent but a little skimpy on the meat. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu and for the hospitality. Lots of tv's for the games. Self serve soda. Great music.

    Here on a work trip and wanted some pizza and this place had a great variety on their menu so we decided to try it out. We did order it to go. The spaghetti wasn't bad. The pizza was okay it definitely could use more flavor. I did love the salad and buffalo wings the most.

    Meat lovers pizza

    Big fun. Only in town for a night, looked most places up, good and bad reviews but we were looking for a bit of atmosphere. This place delivered on tasty pizza - we got the cauli crust, nice and thin! And selection of micro brews and kombucha on tap, had the best dark beer ever. Service was great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]lots of sports on the monitors and some video games in back[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but [[HIGHLIGHT]]what i noticed was how many younger folks with their kids were there, this is a happenin spot which should tell u everything in a small town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Spending the night in Tehachapi. Asked the front desk clerk where a good place to eat was. She said TK. Mentioned the spicy fried cauliflower. Got there and the whole vibe was great, they also have a terrific collection of craft beers on tap. The spicy cauliflower was .... Not at all greasy, really crunchy batter, good spice simply delicious. I had the pesto garlic pizza, on thin crust. My son in law had the chili verde pizza, also on thin crust. Both were served straight from the oven. Lava hot cheese, which I don't mind. Both incredible. If you find yourself in Tehachapi and you're looking for a good place to eat keep TK Pizza in mind. I'll definitely be back if I'm up here again.

    I visited Kohnen's Bakery Tehachapi yesterday with my family, and this was honestly one of the…read moreworst customer service experiences I've ever had. I only purchased two items -- one cream puff and one slice of cheesecake -- but the cashier charged my card THREE times due to repeated mistakes. Here's exactly what happened: 1) My first card (Card A) was charged $11.20. The cashier asked me if I wanted a receipt, and I said yes. Then she told me the receipt didn't come out because the transaction "didn't go through," and asked me to provide my card again. 2) I gave the same card again, and this time she charged $11.69. 3) Then again, she told me that it didn't go through, so I used a different debit card (Card B), which was charged $11.20. While sitting at the table with my family, I immediately checked my bank account and thought I had only been charged twice. I spoke to a staff member at the store and requested a refund for one of the $11.20 charges, which was processed. However, today I realized I had actually been charged three times, meaning there was still another $11.20 that needed to be refunded. So I called the bakery and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with someone named Danielle. I calmly explained the entire situation and told her I would send all my receipts and bank transaction records by email so they could double-check and confirm everything. She said ok and gave me their email address, but it was very long, and I was concerned about making a mistake while writing it down. So I politely asked if she could text me the email address instead. Her response was extremely rude -- she said, "I'm not required to do that," and told me to just write it down myself if I had a pen and paper. Although I was already uncomfortable with her attitude, I carefully wrote it down and sent the email. However, the email bounced back as invalid, even though I had confirmed the spelling with her multiple times over the phone. When I called again, Danielle answered and said, "Ma'am," in a very dismissive tone, and told me that they had found the three charges and had already processed refunds for both $11.20 transactions. I tried to confirm which card the refund was going to, since I used two different cards, but after putting me on hold for a long time, she read off a card number that was not mine. When I told her that wasn't my card, she insisted those were the only transactions for $11.20 yesterday and told me to "check my bank in a few days" and call back if the refund doesn't show up. And, she didn't apologize for the mistake, even though they charged my cards three times and wasted a significant amount of my time. Even yesterday, when I asked for an apology, I only received one reluctantly after I pointed out that they had made a mistake -- and even then, the response was dismissive, as if I should just accept it because they were "taking care of it." The attitude throughout this entire situation was rude, unprofessional, and extremely frustrating. The cheesecake was very good. But because of this experience, I would never come back. We drove all the way from Los Angeles to Tehachapi with my family, expecting a pleasant visit, but this bakery completely ruined the day. Being charged a total of $34.09 for just two small items due to repeated errors is unacceptable. If your staff cannot properly process payments, they should not be working as cashiers. Situations like this should never happen. What's even worse is that after making multiple mistakes, there was not a single sincere apology -- only attitude, dismissiveness, and instructions for me to keep checking my bank and call back again. My time is valuable. This entire situation could have been avoided if things were handled properly from the beginning. This was an extremely unpleasant experience, and I am very disappointed. Cf) For reference, the other $16.05 receipt is for bread that my brother purchased.

Tuesday, March 10th, we traveled to Bakersfield to pick up a vehicle I had purchased, and of course had to stop by Kohnen's.

It is difficult to walk away without a mini-pie (try them all, but blackberry is freaking amazing!!). As always, Danelle was there with her typical congeniality and work ethic! We love her!! And I got to tell her about her doppelgänger in a restaurant in Yucaipa!! They do exist!! In summary, eat at Kohnen's!! Say hi to Danelle!

The patio and outside seating is huge, the inside is a bit smaller but still has plenty of seating and it's nice I love the decor. I went with the Tri Tip sandwich and added hot-links which was a great choice I also got a side of fries. The Tri Tip was well seasoned it had the crack peppercorn taste that I personally love. Served on a soft Brioche bun I believe. They give you 3 bbq sauces on the side to choose from Sweet and mild , mild and spicy all three were delicious. My wife and daughter went with the pulled pork sandwich which I tried an it was delicious,especially the little pieces of Bark. My wife had a side of Mac and cheese and my daughter a side salad. They said the Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the side salad it was fresh. They do have a small bar nothing big and offer beer,wine and some mixed drinks. Overall it was great experience and I say even better BBQ than most of the spots I've tried in Bakersfield. It's a shame it's about 45 mins away but I'll be definitely making the trip back soon to try something else on the menu.
