Everyone's amazing, but I'm not too fond of the guy, he's cheap with the portions. But everything else is amazing

Fantastic place for any meal of the day! Also, you can get a bowl and keep it in the fridge for a trip the next day! These bowls are the best and I highly recommend! Also- on National Donut day they had 12 different flavors of vegan, gluten free donuts! They looked delicious! You can order a cake for a party here, enjoy bowls of nutritious food, and sip a cool iced earl grey tea! Thank you Better Bowls for making every day better!

The bowl they call the holiday bowl is absolutely delicious but unfortunately they only have it for a few weeks every year. It is their only bowl in which all the food is heated and it really is their only bowl that is delicious. They had a poll a few months ago asking people what their favorite food item was at this place and several people said the holiday bowl but they still only serve it during the holidays. I mentioned to one of the workers how great the holiday bowl is and suggested they have it all the time. Instead of the worker saying she will pass the suggestion on to the owner, she said it’s only served during the holidays because it’s holiday food. The only thing that makes it holiday food is the gravy. Just because it has gravy doesn’t mean you can only have it during the holidays. The other food in it is not holiday food and even if it is, it’s good for you. You should have healthy food all year round.

Got here about 10 minutes before they opened, and as time passed there was already a line forming! Today was my first time here, and I ordered the Thai bowl. The person behind the counter was very friendly and accommodating, and the food was delicious.

I'm so glad Better Bowls is still around! The first time I ever visited they had a combined seating area with a coffee company next door. That has since changed - no seating available but they do have more food options including a wonderful grab n go section. On our last visit we grabbed their sushi, tiramisu, and peanut butter chocolate bites. I didn't love the sushi - maybe because we grabbed it towards the late afternoon and it was made it the morning? The rice was dry and one tiny packet of soy sauce didn't seem like enough. Tiramisu was really good and a nice chunk (I had to eat it in 2 sittings!). The PB bites made an excellent hiking snack. In general I like the bowls offered here, with the ability to make your own custom bowl. I also like that the business continues to evolve and switch up offerings. I'll certainly continue to support it.

Delicious food and absolutely perfect if you have gluten and dairy intolerances! Always friendly service and I'm so grateful I have somewhere to get take out and not have to worry about getting sick from gluten or dairy

Better bowls had wonderful service , food, and EVERYTHING IS VEGANGLUTEN FREE. I actually was doing a cleanse and challenge (sort of elimination diet to see what foods allergies one may have, if any) and I was so baffled a restaurant was able to put together so many delicious bowls, breakfasts, treats, that are all safe to eat. I love it here, and even without my elimination diet, I enjoy all of it.

Ordered delivery for my first time ever eating from here and it was wonderful. I got the holiday bowl and it was perfectly proportioned and tasted amazing.
Yummy bowls and drinks. Really enjoyed the golden milk drink and activated charcoal lemonade with edible glitter.

Great vegan option in a town without many choices.

A big shout out to Better Bowls in downtown Bakersfield, a locallly owned business serving your favorite Vegan meals. I've ordered the American Bowl and Mediterranean Bowl and both tasted great while also catering to my attempt at healthy eating! When I ordered by phone, I forgot to mention I wanted the $8 mini bowl instead of the regular $12 bowl. They happily made me a mini bowl and asked for me to keep the original! They also printed out a 2nd receipt for my Mediterranean Bowl order when I requested it. Super nice and pleasant workers with smiles and happy energy! 5+ stars for Better Bowl!

One of the best plant based options places in town. I really enjoy the variety of their foods, and that I can creat my own bowl. The place is always clean and the staff friendly.

Quick SummaryGreat food, great service, and easy process. One of Bakersfield’s top spots for a healthy lunchFood- 5 starsI got the American bowl, the charcoal lemonade and the chocolate chip cookie. Everything was great. American bowl tasted very fresh with plenty of portions (not heavy at all). Charcoal lemonade was filled with flavor without being too sweet. And the chocolate chip cookie was so soft and buttery. Wonderful lunch!Service- 5 starsOur server was great! Very helpful with the menuBottom LineGreat food and service. I can see why Better Bowls was on the Top Bakersfield Spots in 2022
