Food was good but no meat on the menu. Need to be satisfied with eggs. The ice latte was one of the best I ve had. Dog friendly which was great. Parking: Dog friendly.

We stopped by here for late lunch and ordered Moroccan egg, Greek egg, avocado toast and steak wrap. The Moroccan egg and Greek egg were flavorful and tasty and the other two were mediocre. The outdoor seating at the back was a very nice setting. Highly recommend this place for someone who wants to have a quick bite or brunch.

A cool café that we chose for breakfast because it had a European touch in the pictures. After more than a week of traveling around the USA, our eyes and stomachs just didnt want to see paper plates and charred sausages ;) The breakfast burrito was fresh, well seasoned and the mushroom omelet also tasted very good. Delicious coffee and the price is typical for a larger city in the USA. Definitely recommended!

The food is really good, a bit overpriced though. The coffee and teas are high quality. Its always nice to have a family brunch here. It gets pretty busy in the mornings, so go extra early or a little later for brunch if you want to beat the rush.

The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that every guest felt welcome. The coffee was top-notch rich, smooth, and expertly brewed. I also tried one of their pastries, which was fresh and delicious. Whether youre looking for a quiet place to work or a cozy spot to relax, cafe smitten is a fantastic choice. Ill definitely be returning!

Awesome coffee/ breakfast/ lunch place. It s usually packed but the place is huge and they have a good system in place so it never takes too long. The vegan breakfast burrito is my go to (kale and chickpeas- it is fantastic) the coffees are good, great service, I ve tried a few of the pastries they are amazing. Tons of parking in their lot and on the street. Limited seating inside but they have 2 large outside patios.

So the place is nice to look at, but the food and service are TERRIBLE. Do not waste your money. We ordered the chicken schnitzel which was insanely hard to chew. The hummus was very bland, which I don t understand how they can have all the correct ingredients and STILL MESS IT UP. The fries were the only thing that was edible. The Bloody Mary was basically just pickle juice. The service was incredibly slow and they kept forgetting our things. This is one of the rare places I wish I can take my tip back. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

Cute cafe to work from. WiFi was great! However expect to sit close to others in the interior. We order a shakshuka, mint lemonade, and a coffee scone. Shashouka was good but wish it had two more slices of bread to accompany it. Wish I read the mint lemonade description more carefully! I thought it wouldve been like a mint infused lemonade but its literally just regular lemonade with mint leaves as garnish. We tried to smash the mint leaves a bit to provide a mint taste but it barely made a difference :/ - its still a refreshing drink though! The coffee scone was delicious! Coffee flavoring really stood out

I got Avocado Toast and a Latte both were very good. This was my first time here. Ordering was a very easy process, if you are not familiar with coffee their menu may be difficult to read or order from if thats what youre wanting. They had pie that is showcased next to the checkout and I will need to go back to try it because it looks delicious! If youre going in a group setting you have to go back to the front check out to order more food or another drink. Once seated they bring it to your table. Overall it was a great cafe to go into.

Passing by Bakersfield and such a surprise to find this spot for breakfast. It satisfied everything I expected of a fine local cafe - interesting interior design (with a local twist), nutritious food with nice presentation, yummy drinks, and friendly staff.

I was visiting from the Bay Area and wanted to grab some breakfast before taking the Amtrak home. The menu prices and portions are what I m used to in San Francisco so I was excited for quality over quantity. However the food was underwhelming . 2010 Hipster Decour, vegan options, and unnecessary Matcha whip cream doesn t warrant San Francisco prices, quality does. Restaurants in San Francisco that this place is a mimicry of charge over $10 for avocado toast for the highest quality of products, culinary innovation, and presentation artistry. Just plan taking advantage of people with these prices.

Really great food selection (not pages and pages, just a good cross section - something for everyone), genuinely friendly and professional staff, and coffee so good we got to go cups as well as we knew it would be superior to LA s hit and miss coffee. Didn t see the back outdoor area until we went to leave. Check it out, it s so pretty!

Delicious food but please consider hiring friendly staff. This morning my waitress in the sleeve tattoos was very rude and ignored my question after bringing my diet coke. A few minutes later, the same waitress brought my avocado toast and quickly walked away in a rude and condescending manner ignoring my comment on how lovely the day is. I don t sense a good energy from staff in general even as i kindly got up and asked for Cholula hot sauce. The food keeps me coming back because it s amazing & quality, but please consider giving the staff a training on the importance of being kind to customers or hire friendly staff who are naturally kind and serve with a passion, instead of just for a paycheck. This place is hip but no so much the attitude of the staff. At the end of the day, kindness can make a business much more attractive to customers just like Chick-fl-A. Thank you for reading my comment & God Bless.

I so much wanted to give this place 5 stars. The atmosphere was great, the girl who took our order was not friendly, and just seemed to not care about customers dining experience. The cook was so polite, and friendly though. The eggs were overcooked, and potatoes were cold, but, the cook made it right, by redoing the order. There was, two guys there, with their phone ridiculously loud, and the server/hostess/girl who took our order wasnt bothered by it, even after 2 other customers walked in, then right out because of them. The drinks were ok. The same hostess told another family, who asked for drink recommendations, that they have a buncha of different syrups to choose from. Also, the prices were to there, but, kinda worth it.

Review №196

This is the kinda place where a foodie nerd & a Rez dawg can bliss put together We had a slice of pumpkin pie with REAL HOMEMADE WHIPPED CREAM (yummmm) and a savory omelette with egg & mushrooms while swooning over everything else on the menu. Thrilled to find this place on our inaugural visit to the S.O.B. (Streets of Bakersfield)! Pet-friendly, with gluten-free & vegan options. And swag.

I came often to Cafe Smitten while working in Bakersfield. Great coffee; drinks are spot on. Staff was super friendly and definitely welcomed each time. Food was good. A variety of fresh food. I would definitely recommend.

I love it. The staff is always friendly and the meals are prepared quickly. Very tasty. My only complaint would be the prices for a slice of pie but everything else is great
