    One of those rare occasions where we managed to get the family together, so breakfast it was. We enjoyed this spot so much the last time that we decided to give their menu another go. I'm so glad we did, Kelsey was the best! She was very polite and friendly, AND also a great waitress! She raved about how good the chile verde was and I was skeptical, but she even allowed us to sample it. She was right, the chile verde is super good without being too spicy. I let my sweet tooth decide the last time I was here, so instead I went with savory and ordered the Irish stack. (stacks are their version of a "skillet" or "scramble" breakfast) I loved corned beef and I really enjoyed this dish. Tender and juicy slices of corned beef that were slightly crispy, so good. Mixed with eggs and potatoes it was certainly a breakfast to start the day. Bakersfield loves their breakfast but nobody likes waiting and they always get us in and get us out quickly, great food and great service

    (Undercooked) French Toast

    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!

    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.

    Great spot to come with the family! Definitely a new favorite. The food was great and the server was super sweet with my kids. We'll definitely be back!

    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.

    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.

    First time trying this place & food was amazing! Can't wait to go back & try different foods :)

    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.

    Very great brunch spot! The ambiance and service was outstanding. It's my first time eating here and the servers made us feel welcome and they have so many options to choose from on the menu.

    Invited a friend to breakfast. I'd heard about Bella's, so we went. It was a holiday Monday morning. The place was open. Only two tables were full. We were seated immediately and drink orders were taken. We checked out the menu. Lots of good looking choices. I went with basic French toast and sausage links. My friend ordered the pecan waffle and bacon. First off, coffee was good...dark and flavorful. Food came pretty fast. My order was basic, but exactly what I wanted. My friend said the pecan waffle was decadent. The place filled up as we ate and chatted. Service was good. Servers were friendly. Definitely worth another visit to try different dishes!

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.

Within 15 minutes, the entire restaurant was filled. I ordered the pozole and chile verde pork burrito to go. It took about 20 minutes, which is understandable with a full restaurant.

Delicious, fresh, simple and clean. Love, love, love this pozole. $15.00 The chile verde pork burrito, which I ordered without any additional ingredients, is also delicious.

It took a while to be approached by the staff and then luckily seated quickly because a table was miraculously open. But after that we rarely saw our waitress. Long waits in between ordering, receiving food, receiving check etc It was decorated lightly for Harry Potter over its regular decor which was confusing, but the waitress said the owner loved Harry Potter and it was his birthday. Can't argue with that, pop off dude. The food itself was good. I had a latte and a breakfast burrito with chile verde and fruit pancakes. The chile verde was the best part of the meal. Everything else was pretty average and typical for breakfast food. I did like their extensive menu and Mexican American flavors, it was a fun touch. I'm not sure I'll be back on a weekend, not worth the hassle. Would try on a weekday
