The customer service was amazing! I got an Apple turn over which was so good and a house tea. I will definitely come back!

Came across this coffee shop through Instagram. Had to try their pastries and banana latte. It wasn't overly sweet with the banana flavor it was amazing. I had great customer service and fresh baked desserts.

I get my morning coffee or matcha before work. Buttery Scones so good. I love the bacon cheddar pastry for a quick breakfast treat.

Went in today about a half hour before closing. Small, local coffee shop so of course she's working by herself, please be understanding if you go. This isn't a Starbucks you aren't getting your drink in 2 minutes if there's a line. But that said it's FAR better than any drink you'll get at a chain coffee place. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into it. Literally had to turn around and walk back in to tell her how amazing the drink was. Will definitely be coming back here for another afternoon pick me up!

My wife and I decided to try Blueridge Coffee Roasting, and we're so glad we did! The coffee was excellent, rich, and full of flavor. We also loved the apple and cherry turnovers—absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was perfect, and the music selection really set the mood. We’ll definitely be back!

On the corner of 20th and G Street in downtown Bakersfield sits a quaint little cafe, Blue Oak Coffee Roasting. Although it's a small place (indoor seating is limited) the cafe serves bold and delicious espresso drinks. The decor was pretty fabulous. The wood accent wall caught my attention. Two gentlemen I had never met were sitting at the arm chairs so I decided to embarrass my teenager and ask the gentlemen if I could take their picture in front of the wall; which they kindly obliged to.
Somehow I forgot to take a picture of my cortado. I don't think that has happened in the last three years of my life.
After joyfully sipping on my cortado I took my son to the opposite corner of the block to see the Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater.

Enjoying life one cortado at a time! Even if no picture was taken to prove it!

I went and waited five minutes last Saturday (9.14.24, a little after 10:15 am), but no one was ever at the counter.

Based on the owner's response: I originally planned to remove my review, but the reply was so defensive and accusatory, essentially calling me a liar, that I felt compelled to clarify a few things. First, I did not actually see a barista. You don’t know who I am, and you certainly can’t claim to know what I observed. I included the times in my review to highlight what might be an ongoing issue, not because I had any ill will or negative agenda.

This was my first visit, and I was genuinely interested in trying your place. However, the dismissive and combative response makes it highly unlikely that I’ll return. Had the owner responded with more professionalism and class, I would have gladly given the benefit of the doubt. Instead, the poor handling of feedback has cost you a potential customer.

That said, I’m rooting for you, Blue Oak—hopefully, you’ll learn from this response and do better in the future.

Wish I could tell you how great everything was. There was a line right at 8am, so I was hopeful, however, once inside we waited 25m and were never greeted and our order was never taken. There was only 1 person working so she took an order, cashed them out, then made their order, repeat. It was extremely slow. Someone in line behind us left. Then we left. 25 minutes in line is excessive. There needed to be at least one more person to help. Too bad, we were looking forward to trying new small shop joints in town.

Bernadette is the sweetest!! She remembers our drink orders and we’re always greeted with a warm smile.

I usually get an iced coffee and it’s always prepared really well. I recommend picking up one of their bags of freshly roasted coffee as well!
