We are from out of town and needed a real tasting coffee. We visited Sequoia National Park and…read moretried a local coffee shops and thinking it should be reallll good since it's a tourist destination but we're pretty disappointed But I'm still in search of a real good cup of coffee and I have to say driving past to Bakersfield we have to give this city a try Thank you to George/Jorge from 502 Cafe! When I asked for a house made syrup he was gracious enough to share their chai syrup that actually paired perfectly with my flat white (it wasn't on the menu but Jorge was so kind to make me one). Jorge! you need to add this to your menu because it was really good!!! My daughter ordered the Dulce de Leche and she said that it was good too. Also the presentation of the Dulce de Leche is pretty appetizing! Thank you Jorge and the to the other guy who was helping him I will definitely come back if we're in the area again someday

502 Cafe is a hidden gem tucked inside the Haberfelde Building and well worth seeking out. The cozy…read moreatmosphere and friendly service make it feel like one of those places you're excited to discover and then immediately want to tell your friends about. On my visit I tried the Filthy Chai and the Almond Toffee Latte, and both were delicious. The Filthy Chai had a nice balance of espresso and spice, while the Almond Toffee Latte was rich and flavorful without being overly sweet. I also ordered the almond croissant, which was wonderfully flaky and buttery with just the right amount of almond flavor. It paired well with the coffee and made for a great treat. The real star of the visit, though, was a drink I wasn't even planning to order. The barista offered me a taste of their Vanilla Cream, and it was incredible. It tasted just like flan, smooth, creamy, and sweet! After one sip, I couldn't stop thinking about it. It's the kind of drink that keeps you coming back, and was pleasantly surprised to learn that it was lactose free!

Went to Smitten downtown for breakfast with some friends before a morning of shopping. We each…read moreordered a coffee and shared a toast flight, which ended up being the perfect thing to share. The first toast was peanut butter and strawberry jelly topped with coconut flakes. The second was almond butter and banana with cocoa nibs, honey, and cinnamon. The third was Nutella and hazelnuts topped with strawberries and coconut flakes. They were all delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Nutella and hazelnut toast. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the variety made it fun to share and try different combinations. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is a cute cafe vibe. You place order at the counter and someone brings your order to your table. Smitten is definitely a must-visit spot when downtown for breakfast.

SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.

THE GRUB: The Cuban coffee is outstanding, and the Vietnamese iced coffee is one of the best around, actually its the only one around. If im clueless let me in on the Vietnamese coffe you know of...anyhoo If you're looking for a caffeine kick, the cold canned Vietnamese coffee will give you a jolt you wouldn't believe. Food-wise, the Peruvian grilled cheese sandwich was flavorful and well made, but I'd recommend asking for the sauce on the side unless you enjoy a messy sandwich. The ham and cheese croffel had great flavor, but it was a little light on the ham and cheese. I think the cropples are better suited in the sweet variety as they seem small incompressants to a ham and cheese croissant someone would purchase for about half that price. In my opinion, it was more of a kid's snack than a meal and not quite worth the price, if you're actually hungry I would go with something else off the menu. Everything was made fresh , you must be patient here , perfection can be slower than your metabolism, so dont go there hangry. During my visit, Hector explained that he envisions Uncharted Adventures as a gathering place for the community. The business frequently hosts weekend vendor markets and local running clubs. Hector also shared he was creating a dedicated Memorial Day wall honoring local veterans, first responders, and teachers, while also working on an outdoor eating area. It's always great to see a Hector and Chris, and the new Adventures they take on. This is one of the few coffee shops in Bako worth checking out, whether you're stopping in for a coffee, a bite to eat, or a community events theyre hosting give em a visit an introduce yourself. You can thank me later. .Overall I would give everything a four and a half Stars but since Yelp doesn't do half Stars I'll give them a five out of five stars. As they deserve a free half star for all of the Uncharted Adventures that they are a part of...lol get it.. nevermind.. bye for now...

I just have a preference. I might be back to try other drinks!

I'm in Bakersfield for a visit with family and decided to stop for some donuts. After looking up…read morethe closest donut shop to my hotel I realized Foothill Donuts popped up. Showed up half an hour before closing without realizing the time. The guy Tay working the front was super kind when describing the donuts. After asking for a Half-Dozen, he proceeded to give us an extra 3 donuts without even needing to. Alice was also super friendly before leaving the shop. We could smell the place before walking up and was a little confused that it looked like a convenience store but the donuts were right there first turn to the right when entering. These guys were super friendly, the donuts are great and we even got extra donuts. Would recommend this place and am definitely stopping by again the next time I'm in Bakersfield.

They are not like most donut shops in town. This donut shop is located inside a convenience store. Yup, you don't see that everyday. If you wanted to, then you could purchase a 12pk of beer while they box up your dozen donuts to go. That is convenient!! It's also convenient that you can also purchase your winning Lotto ticket while you are here too!! Cool ambiance!! I've yet to eat a donut here that has not been good. Everything has tasted fresh and NOT stale. That is a good thing!! I hate it when donut shops sell stale donuts. Service has always been friendly. Donuts are more affordable than the majority of donut shops in Bako. I'll continue to be a regular at Foothill Donuts whenever I am in the area.

It is made with a smoked Wong tea and it taste a little like the green teas that you get at Japanese restaurants. It is a milk tea, so it automatically comes with the milk and Boba and I had it. 75% sweet. I added the cheese, cold foam to it, which was very delicious. However, when you are finished with the tea and all you have left are the Boba, and the ice cubes, the cheese is very thick and well, it is good. It was not a consistent C that I enjoyed, so next time I will pass on the cold foam. Otherwise, 10/10! Enjoy!
