    Blended Matcha green tea and strawberry coconut
    Yessica M.

    Im a sucker for matcha! Super good and refreshing I had them add boba. Service great girl in the front was nice. This little place was a bit busy but the staff got the drinks out quick!

    Green Apple Smoothie with boba
    Cinthya J.

    This was our first time coming here and definitely did not disappoint. No long wait. We ordered a blended coffee with boba, green apple smoothie with boba, mocha coffee, and a ying yang custom drink. We absolutely will come back for a drink.

    Drive thru
    Sandra P.

    Decided to treat myself to a Thai tea with boba. I was excited to see that they only slightly raised their prices. I paid $6.30 for a large Thai iced tea and it was delicious! Love that I can drive-thru!

    Black almond soy milk tea with custard (and suppose to be boba)
    Lynne E.

    I came thinking that the cafe would be open for indoor seating but it wasn't. They've should've put up a sign that recommends drive thru only. I was a bit overwhelmed with their menu so I asked what do you suggest to the cashier and she had no idea what to suggest except for their house milk tea which wasn't adjustable and already pre-made. No thanks. I ordered an almond milk tea with soy milk and boba and custard pudding. When my drank came out, there was only custard pudding... I also asked if they would not put any extra sweetener. Just make the drink and that's it so 0% sweetness... she says, so regular? At that point I was done. The drink is okay, which is why I gave 2 stars but I'm a firm believer if you work somewhere you have to try out your own products right? Another disappointing boba spot in Bakersfield unfortunately.

    Avocado smoothie with coconut! So good!

    First time ordering here and they didn't disappoint. I wanted an avocado smoothie but also wanted it with coconut flavor and they said they could put both in. Came out delicious.

    Jasmine green tea
    Vince Y.

    They wanted a boba pitstop after Fastrip gas. This was nearby in Bakaaaasfield. A lemon tea and an avocado shake later through a drive thru and they were happy. Buy at drive thru, park in front, they bring it out. Prices were high. Around $6 per. Higher than Sac even. Hmmm...

    Cookies and cream

    I love this place they have amazing drinks and the workers are always friendly. I love the cookies n cream frap it's one of my favorites.

    Ask the Community - Boba Tea Bar

    You have any sugar free options?

    Yes all teas are sugar free, and if you like smoothies or anything else unsweetened, just let the barista know at time of ordering. Thank you.

    Any chance the tea bar could open up at 7am? I would really love to be able to get a drink on the way to work.

    We apologize for the inconvenience for the time already set, and from the past we have try the early time but the sale wasn't at point to maintain for the early hour. You can purchase your drinks at night and save for the next morning.

It's pretty big overall and I just love that for the area. Got a cold brew, a short bread cookie matcha latte and a brown butter chocolate chip cookie. All were pretty great. The cookie was the best.

The space is actually one of their biggest strengths there's a lot of seating, plenty of room to bring your laptop and work remotely, and areas where people can gather. It's also connected to a church, so it definitely leans into that community-centered atmosphere. Unfortunately, after going back 3-4 times hoping my experience would improve, the coffee has been consistently disappointing. It tastes burnt and weak at the same time like warm water with sugar. There barely seems to be any real espresso in the drinks. On more than one occasion, I've taken several sips hoping it would get better... and ended up throwing the whole drink away because it was just that bad. That's honestly frustrating, especially when you're paying for specialty coffee. The only drink I've actually enjoyed there is the pumpkin spice latte, that one was solid.

I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

There was a good amount of indoor seating, and I could see this cafe being a fine spot to linger in for a while.

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...

It was tucked away in the back of a commercial office space type building. Once inside the place was very clean and organized. Very minimalist design. I was only one of 4 total people inside.

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.
