“This place is definitely a hidden gem. The staff here is super friendly and the iced coffee was really good. This was our first time here and we were not disappointed. The dulce De Leche is very good and the golden Lion was good as well. Will come here again if I'm up here in Bakersfield for sure“
“I would probably never have heard of this place or come to grab a drink if it wasn't for Yelp.Sharetea sure is a pleasant place to sit and have a drink or get a drink after you visit Lowes or grab a drink before you stop next door to get your nails done.When we went yesterday it was not busy and there was only one staff member working. She was so kind and helpful. She let my little girl have a sample to make sure she liked the jelly. I'm not a fan of boba or jelly but the coffee drink I got was so good. It had ice cream blended in it and I thought it had the perfect amount of everything.There is no doubt next time I'm on this side of town I will be stopping by again!“
“I came in February to get myself some coffee as a treat but I didn't know what I wanted. Asked the barista (her name was Chyanne) to surprise me and she made me the most delectable pink latte. As a former sbx barista, Beanies is so much better than Starbucks!!“
“I didn’t know what to expect when I approached the storefront. I honestly thought I was walking into a fast food style place. But after walking inside I realized it was as a sit down/take out type of restaurant. I approached the young lady at the order counter and asked if they did take out as I didn’t have time to sit down.The young lady said they did and handed me a lunch special menu. It was a minimal list of options but that wasn’t a bad thing in my opinion, as it was concise and offered some good sounding options. I ordered the Spicy Basil over Rice with the chicken option. The young lady at the counter told me it would be about 10 minutes until my order was ready. I sat down and started watching something on my phone. I would say my food was ready 7 or 8 minutes later.When I finally sat down to eat it at my workplace I opened up the container and was pleasantly surprised at the appearance of the food. As I dug in to eat the flavors were really bright and bold. I really liked it and I will be returning. Next time I may dine in.“
“Here from out of town. Not in the most nicest part of Bakersfield but our barista was so knowledgeable and truly had a passion for making great coffee. Their speciality is Cuban coffee. As someone who has personally been to Cuba, it was pretty spot on! Definitely felt like I was transported back to Havana. Will most likely visit again if I find myself back in town.“
“My coworker bought me a Jumping Monkey and it was delicious. We decided to order some again for the office. Looked at the menu and seen the Heath Mocha. Instantly sold. The small drive thru downtown is cute and cozy. The staff is great and gets you in and out.“
“We decided to have breakfast here after reading the reviews and let me tell you they did not disappoint! Everyone was super friendly. We didn’t even get through the door before we received a cheerful welcoming. You don’t get service like that often anymore. The food was amazing! I left so full I just couldn’t stop eating. Literally everything about our time here was beyond compare.“
“A nice healthy breakfast was what we wanted, and we found it at Cafe Smitten. What we loved: the tomato bisque and the quinoa salad were lovely, and the earl gray cream pie -- while not healthy, was absolutely delicious. What could have been better: I need to stop ordering avocado toast in restaurants. While it was well executed--the toast and the egg were cooked perfectly--I want a bit more avocado, especially for the price point.“
“Great coffee place! I was able to relax since the seating was comfortable. The atmosphere was great and peaceful enough that I was able to get schoolwork done. The best thing above all was the coffee was delicious! I got the coconut latte, which was handcrafted and perfect.“
“We DoorDash this and it was delicious and traveled well. We got the chocolate covered strawberries, which were fantastic and the cream puffs. I tried the cookie butter and Nutella topping for the cream, puff half-and-half. Both were delightful. The order came quickly and the packaging was very nice.“
“On this day I woke up with wanting to taste a good, freshly, roasted coffee so, I thought of Bakersfield Roasting Co. as my brother had mentioned them to me! I looked at their reviews and decided to go with the Hawaiian Mocha because I saw that this taste like an Almond Joy Chocolate! It is literally an Almond Joy chocolate in a cup! So delicious! I can’t wait to try other flavors here!“
“Went to Old River Grill for breakfast. So nice to be greeted so kindly when we arrived. The place is neat, clean and inviting. Every plate that was ordered was so good. We could see when delivered that it was fresh and hot, bacon crisp, potatoes just right, coffee hot and fresh. Everyone fully enjoyed the food and the great service from all of the staff. If you are looking for a nice spot for a delicious breakfast consider this new location of an old favorite.“
“SUPER RECOMMENDED!A nice space, small but very comfortable. This makes the staff more attentive to your needs. They welcome you with “little animal” cookies and a delicious pot coffee. They have “MIMOSAS” service for lovers of this popular drink. The service is fast, the food is well seasoned, affordable prices and the waitresses make sure you don't miss anything.“
“I recommend it to you ? wow, it's very tasty ? I can't drink much caffeine and it made me a very smooth and coconut flavor I was delighted with what the cold coffee made me and the breakfast was also very delicious ? you won't regret it you'll like.“
“I love the service here, staff were very nice but the outside was awkward and loud by the cleaning of the vacuum? Chocolate muffin was delicious but the drinks tasted funky, I didn't mind. Great place for studying! Plus, the weather was amazing.“
“We recently stopped by for an early morning pick-me up with a couple of Banana flavored macchiatos and some Hawaiian French Toast bites with some lechera drizzled on top. It was all very delicious. Service was quick and friendly like always.“
“Stopped by for my boys birthday for some end of night drinks and a snack at his favorite local spot. The cuisine has an Indian flare but they are not scared to serve the cow. Appreciate the service, the Long Islands, and the down home feeling I felt at the establishment.“
“The decor in this place is very pretty! The light cool tones are very chic and clean! The drinks are also the same quality! I'm hoping that they continue to do well and keep going with more locations! Service was also great! Drinks came out quickly! It helps to order off the electronic menu for those that may need to! I got a strawberry milk at 50% sweetness and it was tasty! Tried something new and it wasn't bad. I still think their teas are some of the best, my favorite is the roasted oolong. Glad I got a chance to stop by the new location!“
“This place needs so much more recognition. Walking in, the vibes were amazing and welcoming to all. I ordered a banana caramel iced latte and a jalapeño croissant. Needless to say they were amazing. As cheesy as this sounds, the coffee left me with a smile on my face. Adding to this, the hospitality from the worker was so warm and kind. She is the type of person you'd want to find in everyone; a loving and understanding person.“
“My favorite bakery along with baked bake shop!!! Their cupcakes and tres leches are to die for!!!! Sweet surrenders cake is one of a kind it's super fluffy and dense, I would get their cupcakes everyday if I could I would like to try their banana pudding and bread pudding one day.“
“Came here to work remotely while my older daughters got their hair cut. This place never disappoints. Coffee and food are great and the service is top-notch. Plus the price was great for two drinks and four breakfast tacos just $23.50. The chill vibe always makes me feel like I'm at home. So much better than the coffee chains out there.“
“If consistency was a place it would be this restaurant by far !!! Been coming here for over a year once or twice a month and I’ve ordered the same thing every time because of just how good the chilaquiles are! It beats your authentic mexican restaurants and it’ll beat your moms too hahah. In all seriousness this restaurant deserves all the praise it gets, from the service to the atmosphere this restaurant is by far the best i’ve been to in Bakersfield it simply speaks for itself !!!“
“I came to this place on a recommendation; I have to say it did not disappoint. The food tasted classic and filling. Made my tummy feel warm and happy. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. I ate the breakfast fried steak and it was delicious and fresh meat. Not frozen. Thank you for a great experience I'll be back for more.“
“I've visited Teaspoon approximately four times, and each visit has been exceptional! There are numerous reasons why it's my top choice for matcha and boba in town. Firstly, every staff member I've encountered, around 3-4 different individuals, has gone above and beyond in providing excellent customer service. In an age where genuine kindness is hard to come by, Teaspoon stands out. Secondly, their matcha iced tea is unbeatable; it strikes the perfect balance of flavor without being overly sweet. Today, when my son fell asleep on the way to pick up our order, I called ahead, and they kindly accommodated my request to bring it outside. Despite feeling a bit intrusive, the staff member reassured me and handled the situation with utmost kindness. The variety of boba tea flavors has made each visit exciting for my children. I appreciate the option to customize sweetness levels. Overall, Teaspoon offers a fantastic experience with great drinks!“
“Whether you love hot or cold coffees or tired of the chain coffee shops like Dunkin or Starbucks, this is the place to stop. Huge drink menu; for a coffee lover it's like a grown adults candy store . Love your drinks are made to order; don't mind the couple minutes wait. The concoctions work very well together and bring out the natural flavors. Ordered the grizzly bear .... Can we say yummae! Gets them taste buds popping and ur body energized and ready to go!“
“When I’m tired of Starbucks I like to check out the coffee from other smaller shops in town. I’ve been to Bottoms Up Espresso twice and both times I was met with friendly service and was super satisfied with the flavor of my iced drinks. It’s a drive-up store so there isn’t a traditional atmosphere but it’s a great place to get a quick coffee and get on your way.“
“This location is always very clean and items are rarely out of stock. It is one of my favorite stores, with a great employee team who always have the best attitudes and provide positive service. The location is never overly busy in comparison to a typical Starbucks and the wait time never gets out of control. Definitely recommend trying the new chicken breakfast sandwich! It tastes like a cleaner version of a chicken McGriddle“
“I always forget about this place, but my daughter got dessert for everyone a couple of weeks ago. This is a cute little drive thru shack. Maybe that's why I forget about it. They weren't busy when we got there so it went pretty fast but the sundaes were half way melted by the time we got home because of how hot it was that day. The service was great. And my milk shake was good.“
“My favorite boba place in bakersfield! I am a huge fan of their Matcha Cloud but because it was so hot today, I decided to try something new and ordered their Mango Cloud through their app. I ordered when I left the house and by the time I arrived and parked, I was notified my order was ready! I went inside to pick it up but I wanted to let the worker know that I'm here to pick it up however no one really noticed. I love that the workers were focused on making drinks but they weren't attentive to who's going in and out the store. I could've just taken my drink and left but I didn't want them to think I "stole" it.The mango cloud was pretty good. The first sip was very very sweet, but after drinking it more, it tasted just right and was very refreshing!“
“Love this Dutch Bros. Seems like staff does their best to make drinks right. If they ever make a mistake, it is kindly corrected. Wait time depends on the time of the day you go, normal. Melia, Tammy, and the rest of the staff is great! Seems like there is always good energy coming out of that place.“
“New owners have updated the furniture and cleaned the place up. My wife loves the breakfast burritos and they still have much of the same truck stop food, including the chicken fried steak and bisquits and gravy. Omelets and country potatoes. It's like the old Zingo's only cleaner and just as friendly.“
“The coffee & bagel combo this morning was just absolutely amazing. And take it from me, I'm a bagel coffee enthusiast. Listen. This one was just great the eggs mixed with ham and bacon was such a good combination. Not to mention they bring the food right to you! When I got out of the bathroom my drink was ready waiting for me! He was so nice and pointed it out to me. It's also a great vibe in there, great for doing homework or studying!! I absolutely love the chairs and seat options they had available. The bathroom was small but I like that they use a code to keep it clean! It's great I will def be back. Parking was super easy. And also I almost forgot to add the baristas there were so kind“
“Beautiful area, beautiful store!!! It wasn't busy when I went in earlier, but im sure they do get busy, especially their drive-thru. Tons of parking available. Girl who took my order was so sweet, and she was sweeping, keeping the store clean in between customers. I loved all the Valentine's decor! My drink was delicious, and I'm pretty positive all their iced blended drinks are delicious. I downloaded their app. With their app, they offered me a 50% off welcome beverage and just fyi a free drink on my birthday :) I will definitely be a returning customer!“
“Greeted right away, place clean. Variety donuts to choose from , Chocolate on chocolate with nuts &Pink donut. Both delicious. I hate when I get a donut that's greasy but here at this place the donuts doesn't have that greasy taste, Blended mocha is a real treat, sometime you go to the a coffee place an they put to much ice an can't taste the mocha , Here I taste mocha an coffee it was delicious, especially in this heat that Bakersfield is know for. Delicious donuts an blended mocha . I highly recommend this place . It's kinda hidden gem , didn't even know it was in this shopping center .“
“I love going to this Starbucks and encourage everyone to leave a few dollars for appreciation of them fixing our drinks to our liking❣️Parking: Parking on the weekends can be a little difficult.Wheelchair accessibility: Is wheelchair accessible.“
“I love Ditch Bros and have never had a bad experience at any location. This time, I actually downloaded the app and was pleasantly surprised to get a free drink! I love how they make seasonal drinks. I like to try the new ones and use oat instead of dairy. My gf prefers almond milk, which is also not a problem at Dutch “
“If you're ever looking for something in the morning that's warm and delicious I would recommend this place donuts are amazing always fresh staff is wonderful real friendly you definitely need to go by and check it out and also their bacon maple bar is amazing“
“We found this starbucks by accident after we kedt Arvin from a meeting. We didn't think we would find a Starbucks out here. This area was right off the 58 next to a gas station. Starbucks was very clean and nice. Bathros were clean, and the dining area was as well. It was not busy at all, so we were able to order immediately and served on demand. Overall, I told my friend that the I side of Starbucks was cleaner and nicer than most I see when I travel. We aresered a cappuccino and a iced Carmel machiato with blonde espresso shots. There was plenty of parking, and the drive thru was set up in front of the building.“
“It's basic American fare, nothing fancy here. It fills you up and tastes good. I got a vegetable omelet, it was undercooked, so a bit crunchy. The pancakes are delicious! Service is always good, so I like coming here with my family to get breakfast.“
“Coffee and Smoothie, daughter recommended going when debating on visiting another coffee house in the area.I ordered a recommendation by the barista, iced vanilla latte that was amazing, still tasted like coffee, not milk or sugar like other competitors. Daughter’s smoothie smashed on competition smoothie locations.No joke this place rocks, also I’m a first time visitor, no lie.“
“Went here for this first time a couple of weeks ago and have been back twice already. The food is delicious! I had the carne asada torta the first time. The flavor was amazing and they have a unique sauce that makes it even better. On top of the taste, which is most important, the size could be enough for two meals because it had a good amount of carne. Second time I had the Carne En Su Jugo. It was very tasty and lots of meat. Been back for the torta! I never left hungry!!I almost forgot, I did try a pupusa and it was sabrosa and a great price for the size.“
“Always a great place to either grab lunch during the week or grand some breakfast on the weekend! My go-tos are the burger, breakfast burritos, or biscuits and gravy! You can also eat while you're car is being washed. All of the lady's there are really nice. Highly recommend this place to anyone.“
“First time coming to "It's Boba Time" here in Bakersfield. Got the pb chocolate banana smoothie with boba added, it was really good! Fast line and fast service, nice ambiance too. My Boyfriend and I came back the very next day for more! I've been to quite a few boba spots, this one is up there!“
“Far superior to Starbucks' coffee. The coffee is nice and smoothe and not bitter like other shops. I love all the Dutch classics. Their protein drinks are good too. That's my current obsession.Vegetarian options: Not sure if they have vegan options but they don't serve any meat products. The orange cranberry muffin is my favorite.Parking: Parking is always available if you want to walk up to order because everyone always uses the drive-through.“
“This is my favorite boba tea bar in town! My favorite drink is the real fruit mango peach with mango jelly it's so good and perfect for the heat. I've never gone inside but cmon drive thru boba is the best idea anyone could ever come up with. The staff is always nice and professional and the drinks always come out quickly, will forever recommend this place!“
“The restaurant has a nice cozy atmosphere, the service was a bit long, but still good, and the food was very tasty. I had some home fries, and the portions from the sides menu was ample enough to be a small meal, good quality for the price.“
“My daily stop before heading out to work. Baristas are always pleasant, coffee is served very warm and the pastries are spot on fresh. The exuberance amongst the staff is excellent as happiness and employee satisfaction is felt by the customer. Good customer experience at the West Panama location.“
“I was surprised I had not done a review before. I try to sty away because I really like their donuts. Today, i caved and went in aftergrocery shopping, and I was pleased they have mochi donuts. The mochi is pleasantly airy and chewy. Their prices have gone up but so has everyone else's prices. The other purchase was filled chocolate.“
“This was the first time I had been there since I'm not a coffee drinker but I do love their frappuccinos.. I was surprised with the different sandwiches and snack trays available.. it was clean and the employees were nice.. service was quick too.“
“Was in town visiting and was recommended this shop by family. When we walked in there were a few folks waiting for their orders and we were greeted by the workers behind the counter. The interior had plenty of seating and I loved the design of the bench/couch along the wall. I'd never been to a Yemeni coffee shop so of course I had to order something I'd never tried before. I got the mufawaar which is sana'ani coffee with evaporated milk. It was so smooth and a perfect way to start my morning. My biggest regret was not getting any pastries so I will definitely come back during my next visit!“
