Girl with long hair in the back shirt in the front drinking hydro flask at the front counter, website shows breakfast/lunch from 8-5 but we can't have lunch items because its not 11 (nowhere states this), food was neither here nor there, lemonade is store bought and costs 5.50 with dollar charge for refills, girl at the front does not have hair pulled back while dealing with food and beverages.. not worth the cost of the food/beverage in the long run

On a stopover from SF to Vegas. Nice little spot for a breakfast break. Sat outdoors (May 17) 11am - cool in the shade but lots of flies at this time and time of year.
Service was quick and friendly. Food was good. They have live music on Thursdays that I wish I could see but alas Vegas here we come.
Avocado smash and Burger were just fine!
Grabbed an americano for the road.

The food and service was average. The hummus plate was great. My flat iron steak was slightly overcooked and had an oily film. It has an undesirable mouth feel. My wife's ribeye was average. The kids burgers where okay. For the price we paid I was expecting a better product. Service was a bit slow even though there was not a lot of customers. The staff was very friendly.

I ordered a pastry today (the last piece of pistachio bread/cake) asked that it be heated, and was given a number so it could be brought out to me. It never came after waiting a long time (which happened 2 times to me on other occasions and I was told they forgot about it) so I inquired. After waiting awhile I was told it had been burnt and did I want a different pastry. I instead asked for a refund which then took quite awhile even after 2 more inquiries but was told they were working on it. Next time (I do like the food) I will wait for the item at the counter to see if itβs taken to be heated and not otherwise sold and to also thwart the long delay. Annoying because it happened 3 different times. If it happens again despite this alert, I will probably avoid Smitten and the annoyance.

Place is clean , the food is ok. I was not allowed to order lunch till after 11 even though the menu and online state 8-5 lunch and breakfast. small portions for what you are paying for. The girl with the hippie vibe kept drinking from her personal mug and kept serving drinks and small foods without washing her hand or dealing with her hair . Considering the price you are paying I wouldnt recommend it.

This place was a nightmare, too crammed, very poor customer service, it s wheelchair accessible but no one bothered to help us move tables for our group who needed help. The cashier was rude and unhelpful. The other customers who were dining in were more helpful than the staff. To top it off, we hoped the food would be worth it but another disappointment which was to be expected and our order was wrong. The place needs work, maybe with time but as of now they need more training. Wheelchair accessibility: The table stands in the middle are in the way of front end of the wheel chair and the table tops don t hang over enough for handicapped to eat comfortably.

Just visited this place for the first time with my fiancΓ© and I,we are both from Napa Valley so we are used to medium hip places such as this.We came in earlier for a lemonade and the server was very nice.We decided to come back for dinner ,however, and the server we had(blonde) lady was very quick with us and extremely dismissive.Nowhere in between our meals did she come to check up on us,ask us how the food was,but asked a table to our right how they were doing over a few times. Ive never been to a restaurant where waitresses are that dismissive of their tables where they dont ask their guests how their food is atleast once.They also werent busy,and they were quick to try and push us out.I wouldnt recommend this restaurant to anyone whos looking for a nice place to eat and have a good time overall.

I won t be going back for dinner. Over priced as well for the quality.

We dined with out-of-town friends on a Saturday night. We arrived around 6:30p to a fairly empty restaurant with live music for entertainment. As we caught up with our friends we enjoyed some drinks. I had an Old Fashioned and it was an excellent choice - smooth and well made. Three of us had the California Burger while the forth dined on a Garden Salad with Chicken. No one was overly impressed. All the burgers were lukewarm at best and not a single one was prepared as requested. My medium-well burger was medium-rare at best. I had a salad instead of fries and it was 90% arugula and was served with the wrong dressing. Those who ordered fries said they were cold. Food should be prepared as ordered and served promptly while hot - not is such a leisurely manner. We spent close to $200 with tip so it s not too much to expect that the staff be firing on all cylinders but clearly they were not. Kudos to the bartender tho, my Old Fashioned was the highlight of my night. This wasn t my first visit to Smitten; I was underwhelmed last time as well, so I think I ll be passing on any future visits.

Smitten makes for a cozy little cafe to grab your morning coffee and a quick bite in Bakersfield. Its charming counter-service setup offers ample seating options in a relaxed atmosphere. While its specialty drinks shine, the accompanying breakfast items prove more of a mixed bag. I stopped in on my way to work and ordered a scrumptious Butterscotch Latte - perfectly smooth and dripping with sweet, creamy flavor adding a luxurious twist on my usual morning brew. Of the various house pastries on display, I selected the Breakfast Burrito to provide some balance from protein. Unfortunately, the bland avocado and egg filling lacked any real substance or flavor payoff inside the thoroughly average tortilla wrapping.

Had a bad experience at the smitten cafe downtown but heard this one was better. The service here is better than the other but the food was so bad. Went with my best friend and neither of us even ate half our meal. The fries were good but everything else was flavorless. The food was so bland I doubt they even put salt and pepper. The only flavor in the breakdown burrito was a sprinkle of cheese. It s so expensive and the food is so boring, don t waste your money.

Went there today with my friend! I normally have good experiences, but today the service was just not it. We asked how the girl was doing as we were ordering and she wasn t really paying attention to us. We ordered 48 dollars worth of food and it was kinda mid. We ordered the cheese platter and the chunks of cheese were way to too big, too many nuts, and wasn t a normal cheese platter was also missing the bri. Mid bread no crackers which cheese platters usually have. The drinks were mid and not sweet at all!

Very rude employees. I went yesterday to meet 3 friends in this place and 2 of us arrived early. No one was in the reception to get them seated, so they walked in and took one of these many empty tables. Then me and my and my other friends arrived like 10 minutes after and went to the same table. One of the employees came and asked all of us to leave the table which wasn t reserved to any other customer and just wanted us to wait 5 to 10 minutes to be seated again in the same table with a waiter. Unbelievable the way they rejected to understand that it didn t make any sense, we were already in and the store was have not any reservations on this table. Also, they had like another 3 to 5 empty tables but they were rude even in the way they spoke to us and didn t even apologise for asking us to leave the table. Long story short we left the this place and went to better place where they respect their customers. Don t recommending them at all.

This place is overhyped, wayyy overpriced and overrated. Got the chicken schnitzel sandwich...the chicken was extremely dry and stringy. Tried the hummus plate and it tasted like store bought and packaged when it says house made hummus on the menu. The coffee was pretty good but it is served in thin clear glass cups and gets cold quick. This place is advertised as an upgrade to their cafe downtown but falls short of that. Family of 4 and our bill was over $80 including tip...and for the quality of food I would easily say we will not be back.

My friend ordered a breakfast burrito, I ordered one of the scones in the glass case. We both ordered a Bloody Mary. My friend received her burrito, albeit without silverware first. We could see my scone sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes post heating..many employees were gathered talking but no one to bring my scone. Finally delivered the cold food and still no drinks! Also, no butter as requested. A man and his daughter who were seated next to us also experienced poor service but were very gracious as were we. Unfortunately, I won t be visiting again, worst service I ve ever experienced in Bakersfield.

Smitten should now be known for dinner. My companions and I sampled several items on the dinner menu. Sharing each dish... it was a magical evening of some the finest cuisine BAKERSFIELD has to offer. Every dish literally was perfect. My favorites: the fries ( I am not a French fry lover but will be back for these) the quinoa dish, the salad, the lamb (I am also not a big meat eater but wow!). The sauces are amazing. This is a must try dinner spot. I have been to this location several times for breakfast/ coffee and tea and am never disappointed.

Had a very nice round of drinks, cheese plate, and pie hole desserts. Good service. Live music was good but too loud, speakers were muffled and woofy so you couldnt hear clearly. Its a really cool vibe restaurant and we love it

The decor and ambiance was so nice and relaxing. I ordered the margherita pizza and it was very good! They have a pretty good selection of drinks, and we went with the Moscow mules, which were excellent. I will definitely come again and try their breakfast menu.

My husband and I asked to sit outside waitress brought menu and water had guy following looked like she was training him. Looked over menu but was looking for dessert didnt see any and waitress or guy never came back to check on us. I walked inside ordered pie waitress said she will bring out to our table. Pie came and not good at all tasted like made with applesauce. Time to go waitress again never came back so I decided to go inside and pay at counter. As we were crossing parking lot to go to car waitress decides to come out running and yelling asking if we paid at counter? Mortified as others outside looked at us like we stole something.The nerve of some people. Never ever going back.
