    Tried this place 7/18 and we must say the food was amazing. Very flavorful but what made our experience better was our server Lucy! She was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered all our questions. She was beyond kind and made us feel very welcomed also brought our food on time. Definitely recommend coming here. We will for sure return.

    (Undercooked) French Toast
    Crystal M.

    So we decided to do Father's Day breakfast for takeout and figured we'd try Bella's Diner for the first time. Initially the French Toast combo was missing from our order, so I called to get it corrected. Instead of professionalism, I was met with snickering and a casual "my bad... we can write your name down for next time," followed by a bunch of dismissive blah‑blah-blah. It's Father's Day, our meal is already messed up, and everything else is getting cold while we try to fix this issue. My husband even felt bad and drove to pick up the missing order -- only for us to get home and find out the French toast was grossly undercooked. At that point, the whole experience was over for me. Appetite and, excitement gone. Epic fail, we won't be back. Lastly word of advice, get someone with sense to answer the phone -- the lack of empathy, the attitude, on top of poor food quality just cost you a customer!

    This place is good the food was yummy and the server was sweet. I just wished they had more turkey options.

    Family unexpectedly dropped by from out of town, so we decided to treat them to a late breakfast / early lunch. This was my first time here and I vaguely remember the business (pizza place) that was here before, but I was pleasantly surprised by the remodel. Not only was it refreshing from the heat outside, but the interior was really beautiful. I love the complimenting pictures of local Bakersfield area, the interior masonry is beautiful, and the attractive pictures decorating the walls was very nice. The diner also has a very nice open layout that makes the place feel very inviting and not so crowded. The waitress that helped us was very friendly and attentive. The food was fresh and everything looked and tasted great. I'm glad we discovered this spot, we'll definitely be back and luckily it's so close to home.

    Such a great breakfast spot! The food was good, fresh, and the portions were really good. Everything we ordered was so good, and the service was great too.

    CFS Burrito

    Nice quiet spot! Food was amazing and the service was insanely fast. Went with my girlfriend and we shared a CFS Burrito. Huge portions and filled up the both of us (and we can EAT). Service was also friendly and attentive. Thanks, can't wait to go again!

    The food is very good and the servers are great. Very busy and limited space, so be mindful especially on the weekend.  I enjoyed

    Food, service and ambiance was a 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend. Seating is limited so be mindful on the weekends, but definitely recommend a visit.

    This is my second visit to Bellah's diner. It's a highly recommend this restaurant. Their menu is extensive especially their breakfast menu is three pages and then they have a great lunch menu. The food, service and ambience is excellent. I ordered the AB cheese burger with french fries, BTW all of their burgers, have two ground beef patties. Our waitress was superb very nice and helpful. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

    Chicken and waffles
    Brad B.

    We stopped by Bella's this past Tuesday for breakfast. I like how they designed the interior. Cute and spacious. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was awesome. Crispy outside, without the breading being too thick and juicy on the inside. The waffle was the proper thickness and held up to the chicken and syrup. My wife ordered the French Toast and sausage plate. Nice cinnamon flavor on the French toast (one of the toast was a bit undercooked though). Eggs tasted like they were cooked in butter (as they should be) and the breakfast sausage had that proper meat/spices/salt flavor you expect. While friendly, we did not see our waitress often. They appeared to be understaffed. Overall, had a nice time at Bella's. Looking forward to trying their lunch menu.

    I've been passing by this place a few times and I decided to have breakfast here with my sister and I am glad we did. The food portion was just perfect and it had a lot of flavors to my liking. I ordered the California Omelette with country potatoes and a side of sourdough toast-- and everything was delicious! The inside was spacious and the food tasted like I was eating at someone's home-- which in my opinion was very comforting. Our server was nice and friendly and she asked if we needed anything frequently. Also, I recommend trying their Pecan Waffles! I made the mistake in eating this last so the whip cream melted a little bit but it was still delicious and adding the maple syrup made up for it.

My husband commented that it made him want to move to Bakersfield which made our server Emily laugh. Limited parking in back and some street parking. We walked in without a reservation at 11:15 on a Friday and were the first customers of the day. Great decor, dim lighting, vintage looking furniture which does not sacrifice comfort for artistry. Our cocktails and meals were spectacular: Botanist Fashioned: 5/5-the brown sugar cinnamon syrup added a spicy bite to each sip which was unexpected and fun. Watermelon Sugar High:4/5-refreshing with watermelon juice freshly made in house and an ice cube with mint frozen in it. Seared cauliflower: 4/5-great appetizer for 2. The crispy chicken sandwich and the Botanist smash burger:5/5-Both had super flavorful pickles and toasted buns which always add a lovely crunch to each bite. If you're ever in Bakersfield and are at least 21, this place is well worth it! We'll hopefully be back someday. Highly recommend!

There are a lot of tables and seating between the two rooms inside and the completely shaded outdoor patio, it doesn't look as big from the outside as it truly is. The decor is really nice and earthy with tons of real vine plants, a mix of fake, cute mirrors and wall decor, and cool basket lighting. We went at the tail-end of lunch, and it was busy, but there were still a few tables open (I recommend making reservations). I ordered a raspberry drop (not overly sweet so I loved it) and my son ordered a triple berry hibiscus refresher, it was so good! For lunch, he ordered the garlic+parmesan cream pasta with chicken and not only was it scrumptious, but he had enough leftovers for another meal! I had the fish tacos- they were excellent, the pickled onions on top *chef's kiss* made them superb. I would only recommend asking for the tortillas to be doubled because they fell apart. The I'll be returning for sure with friends, and a date night with my hubby.

    A Delicious Thank You to Teachers!…read more What an incredibly thoughtful way to give back to the community! One of our teachers at school entered a drawing for a free catered lunch from Locale Farm to Table, and we were so lucky to win! The drawing was the owner Heather's way of giving back and showing her appreciation for teachers. She was especially touched by our teacher's story, which made the win feel even more meaningful. Many of us who work at the school already dine at Locale and absolutely love the food, so we knew we were in for a treat. Heather brought some of their most popular dishes, including a hot honey goat cheese spread with Pyrenees bread, roasted butternut squash and Brussels sprouts, a fresh garden salad, and a chocolate and strawberry pastry for dessert. Everything was absolutely delicious! What really stood out, though, was how much thought Heather put into making sure everyone could enjoy the meal. She heard that we had some vegetarians among us and went above and beyond by preparing additional dishes without bacon so everyone had plenty to eat. That extra touch meant so much and really showed how genuinely caring and thoughtful she is. Having this incredible meal right before the first day of school was such a special treat. Teachers and school staff work incredibly hard, and feeling appreciated in such a generous way was truly wonderful. Thank you, Heather, for your generosity, kindness, and for supporting our school community! We are so grateful, and, of course, already looking forward to our next visit to Locale!

I also got the apple juice to drink which was nice and cold. I got an Arnold Palmer with watermelon Fresca and it was good too. Prices were pretty good, seeing it's a farm to table eatery in this economy. They were also very kind about our dietary restrictions. I have celiac disease and my sister is dairy free, so she substituted a few things on her burger.
