30 Best Cafes in Bakersfield

“I had the Moroccan Eggs and they were out of this world amazing! Full of flavor and spice! The perfect breakfast/brunch“

“The ambience is so inviting I love the old look of the countertops, but most importantly, the food is absolutely fantastic. We can’t choose just one meal everything we’ve had has been excellent.“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“The food had an unmatched breadth of spices and depth of flavor--can't go wrong with anything you order. The menu was out of some items and other items take a while to cook, which we were informed about in advance. Service was kind and attentive. More people in Bakersfield need to know about this place and Yemeni cuisine.“

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

“Great food, friendly staff. I come here once a week .“

“This place feels like a wholesome family experience. There’s no such thing such as a stranger here and I love the service as well as their coffee. Will be returning soon.“

“This place is great! I'm in love with their avocado toast 🤤 not everyone gets it right. And trust me I know because I try it everywhere. As a self proclaimed Big Backologist, I highly recommend you stop in and get some coffee and try a dish of something. Anything. It all looked amazing. Their coffee wasn't overly sweet either like other places. I will be visiting again soon!!!“

“I am so fortunate to live nearby the Arizona Cafe, some of the best and most consistent menudo in town and personally the one restaurant I have been able to count on for good, simple menudo that is pretty close to what my abuelito used to make. Over 20 years it’s been the same simple indulgence that I have firmly come to know as a staple in my life. Really appreciate the simple food and the simple service even on busy Sunday brunch days. Thanks for being a cornerstone and my go to menudo spot since I was a kid. With or without a hangover, it’s very good.“

“The owner was very friendly, helpful, and her whole countenance just glowed when she smiled! You could tell she loved her business, customers, and her food. I’m not sure why others thought this place was not up to snuff. As a family with two small children, we would definitely come back!“

“Chili verde omelette 🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“I don’t usually leave reviews unless I am truly “wowed”. Nothing beats this place and I’ve lived in 4 different states! Their coffee is most definitely a hidden gem - it’s a must have. Their pricing is ridiculously inexpensive for what you get. Their breakfast sandwiches are literal chef’s kiss. I loath maple bacon bars… their maple bacon bar might be the best donut I have ever had! The donuts are consistently fresh, melt in your mouth, and there isn’t one that I don’t like. Now the staff! They are always so kind! Every time we go, there are regulars coming and going (some hangout) and the staff remembers each of their orders. My husband stops by every so often in the morning and they are listing off his order before he even gets to the counter. The atmosphere feels like walking into your best friends house! You’re in and out within 5 minutes tops. When friends/family come to visit us this is the one place we make sure that they try before they leave. When in town, they are regulars as well lol. So, this is clearly an absurdly long review, but Angel Donuts is more than deserving! If there are any negative reviews stopping you from trying this place, just know that they are 100% Karen’s - ignore them completely.“

“Food is always amazing! Staff is super friendly and attentive!“

“We ordered a custom two tier wedding cake from Sugar Twist. They delivered it safely on time to our venue. It was absolutely beautiful and looked exactly like the inspo photos I had provided. It was also the most delicious cake I’ve ever tasted. It was moist and perfect and everything I could’ve asked for. All of our guests said the same thing and raved about this cake. We can’t wait to order more on our anniversary!“

“The staff are friendly. The food is great. It gets packed on weekends because the food is that good. Downside?- they close at 2:00pm“

“Great atmosphere and peaceful. Let’s have a cup and visit. Great views“

“The best waitress (service) staff in town - excellent food - wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“My AI guided me here I said it's absolutely the best deal for $15 and would agree that it's comparable to old River grill of the area very nice very clean should I pay at the counter with the gas station is I don't know just a suggestion that's coming“

“Amazing food! Love the service and Chef Denweed! Thank you for my Birthday Bread Pudding 😋“

“It is totally my 3rd place! Staff is amazing, and the food is fantastic!!! It is a hidden gem in Oildale. My go to is 7&7 and build your own pizza. But the savage tots and garlic tots are fire too. Shout out to Joe, Paul, and Jazz for the fantastic culinary delight.“

“I had NEVER been in this place, and I can't recall ever seeing or hearing ads for it either. I walked in to get a water because I was near dehydrated by the time I walked in. One of the girls acknowledged me, asked what I would like. I told her I first needed a water lol then said I had no idea what they served, to which she directed me to a menu. I wound up getting a great egg salad sandwich with a power aide to help me recoup. All in all, a quaint lil place to eat and as far as I'm concerned, not too bad a cost for the quality of food I was served!“

“Wow, a hidden gem! The menu includes so many delicious choices and the service was outstanding! ( hard to find now days) Can’t wait to go back!“

“I had such a great brunch experience here! The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was delicious, and everything came out fresh and beautifully prepared. Tatiana was my server and she was amazing, super kind, attentive, and made the whole visit even better. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend!“
