I like coming here when I visit, the place is clean and nice. The kiosk machine makes it easy to order your drinks and food. My niece and daughter love ordering the bingsu and taiyaki. Can’t find another place that serves these types of pastry/desserts in town.

ever since they opened, i have always loved this spot. i love how gentle and kind the owners are 🫶. their options aren’t as extreme as bobatime, but they easily make up in unique korean-influenced options. every drink, bingsu, cheesecake, açai bowl, and boong o pang they serve has so much more love put into it. the store’s interior is very photo-genic, making it easy to feel welcomed and take lots of pictures. they also host a lot of korean events here too so kpop lovers and korean culture come flock here 🕊️💕
i’ve only had boba and shaved ice desserts (bingsu) this good rivaled that in a few stores from the Philippines 🇵🇭.
i highly recommend their Lychee Lime Green Tea 💚, Taro Smoothie or Tea 💜, Mango C+ Smoothie 🧡, Strawberry Coconut Smoothie ❤️, any of their Boong o Pang 🧇, Kuromitsu Coffee ☕️, Dragon Fruit Açai Bowl 🤍, and especially their Brown Sugar Matcha Bingsu & Taro Bingsu 😵💫✨.
they also serve milk alternatives for those lactose intolerant :) (soy and almond milk for sure i know)
i made the owners a fan-made tour video of the store last october, and they were kind enough to post it on their IG. if i could be paid to say this, i would spend a whole month spamming their reviews and social media, i swear they’re that good. i hope Maui Pho moving down a couple doors from here will help bring even more people to drink here and show the owners some love too <3.

Atmosphere was great and the drinks too. It just took a little while for my 3 drink order to come out. Expect to wait up to 15 minutes

One of my hands down favorite places in Bakersfield for treats! The bingsu is so good! Love the organic matcha bingsu, I get it with a extra side of red beans. A little pricey but worth it.
No free water??! What the heck! If you are in dessert food business you should at least give away free complimentary water!!! Don't come here again. Poor customer service!!!

The best açaí bowl you'll find in Bakersfield!! This location in particular makes the best açaí bowls (they have the same base as the most popular places in town, not overly sweet). You don't need to do too much with the toppings either. Get a Tahiti bowl- and thank me later.
Cute little place inside. Seating is comfortable and very modern.
Service is great. The staff remembers people and orders. If you have it once you will definitely be back for seconds. They also have other options such as boba, Japanese cheesecake, boba, bingsu & boong o pang, smoothies, matcha and coffee! Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it.
My sister really wanted to try Cafe Tori because she could get Bungeoppang there and she had been wanting to try that treat. I decided to join them. Upon first entering I had no idea what Cafe Tori offered on its menu. I attempted to figure what the menu consisted of and after a bit realized it was Acai bowls, teas, boba, smoothies and other drinks. They had other offerings and the obviously new employee attempted to answer my questions and was quite helpful even though she was learning the ropes.
After we all (4 of us) ordered we took a seat at one of maybe 6 tables that are in the place (limited seating). They had some music going and I was concerned I would miss my order call out as they have a pick up counter as you would find at Starbucks. But the staff made sure that they made eye contact with us as they called our orders to make sure we knew our orders were ready.
The staff was friendly. The orders took a bit (approximately 12-20 minutes) to be called. We all ordered separately. But we all had our food in about 20 minutes. It wasn’t all that busy and I believe I saw 3 employees in there. Overall the wait wasn’t an issue but if this place was packed could imagine wait times would increase.
The food itself was decent and fresh but there was nothing stand out about anything I had that I hadn’t had at other places. The place was a bit pricey for my liking but I understand small locally owned business likely have to charge more to stay in business but a Açaí bowl, a drink and an order of the bungeoppang (3piece) ran me $32 without tip. I’m happy I tried this place and I walked away without any disappointment but I don’t think I would return unless someone else wanted to go there. Wishing this place continued success.

Had to order from a kiosk. when making the order, you're presented with images that I don't even know if that's what I'm getting as you are able to customize the order with just about every option is an additional fee on top of it. For the drink and some fish shaped pastries, it seems a little on the high side (post $20 minimum wage). I'm sure the food is great, but it's not for me

I'm thrilled that Cafe Tori is a part of Bakersfield's scene. Despite its cozy size and limited seating, the place is charming and well-kept. While the boba may not be bursting with flavor, the drinks overall are reliably enjoyable, with a diverse selection to choose from. What really sets them apart is their fantastic bingsu – a delightful rarity in Bakersfield. It's a treat worth savoring in this little gem of a cafe.
