Bonnie's best is hands down the best. Comfort food from the soul. And the ladies that work here are just so amazing

Average turkey sandwich. $14.00? First and last visit. The pickles were better than the sandwich read more

I was scouting for a sandwich yesterday in downtown and I stumbled over this little sandwich shop on the corner of Fst. When I came in, I was greeted and helped with the menu by a lovely lady. The restaurant gave me vintage vibes and I loved it, it was calm and clean. The cashier helped me choose a sandwich and I picked out these cookies to try as well. I ended up going with the Dr. Laura Sandwich and the raspberry filled cookies, the sandwich was good only I wish there was more meat for the price honestly. It was a pastrami sandwich but I mostly tasted salami. On the other hand do your self a favor and get these cookies they're so soft and fresh, the filling is so good. I'm probably going to be stopping here for a sweet treat often because those cookies are spectacular. Overall I'll come back and try their soups and casserole, they sound appetizing. read more

Mini cafe on the corner of 21st & F streets. Came here on a Friday for a quick 30-min lunch break. Love the idea of naming sandwiches and combos after celebrities. Since it was Friday, I had the Richard Pryor which was a cup of tomato soup and a grilled cheese. I'm not really a grilled cheese kinda of person but man.. they got this combo down right over here. Perfectly crisp on the outside and with the creamy tomato soup for the dunks, it was bussin! Might try the Katie Holmes and Om Cruise next time. Service was quick and staff were friendly. Nice quick spot for lunch pickups. read more

This family-owned gem serves the best sandwiches in town--hands down. Fresh ingredients, friendly service, and flavors that keep you coming back. Their signature sammie, The Brummer, is a must-try you do not want to miss. read more

When I worked downtown, this was the place for lunch. I am obsessed with their Brummer sandwich, which is their version of an Italian sub. They put this delicious olive tapenade on the sandwich and it really deserves the "chefs kiss". We have tried their other sandwiches but we keep coming back to the Brummer. We have also tried their take home meals and those are also delicious. I haven't had anything I didn't like here. The staff are so sweet and a joy to talk to. The inside is always so clean and cozy. Event the outside of Bonnie's is so cute. If you havnt tried Bonnie's Best you need to. read more

Cutest little hole in the wall sandwich shop downtown with some of the nicest staff ever! I got a monte cristo, which I was so happy to see featured on their menu because it's one of my favorites that I don't often see places. read more

If you're a sandwich love, this place is amazing! I got the Tanya Harding (mouth waters) and added yellow peppers. I don't know what kind of sorcery Bonnie has going on in the back, but every bit of the sandwich was amazing, the bacon was perfectly crisp, the peppers giving it an extra crunch. It's a nice little corner shop, that gives an old school feel, and the service... amazing! Everyone was friendly, and the classic rock playing in the background was lovely. Definitely coming back to this place. Notable mention, my wife got the egg salad sandwich, that thing was perfection! read more

Service here is so friendly!!!! Adorable store front and the inside is so dang cute!! I passed this place and popped in for a quick breakfast. I was a bit disappointed to see a lack of pastry or morning style food. They do have lots of lunch and sandwiches. Looks like homemade salads, potatoe, macaroni, casaroles. Smells good. But it was too early to try food. A great addition may be some baked goods/breads. Very cute lunch stop. The fruit is very good and ripe. The cookies are outstanding! read more

While walking through Downtown Bakersfield I stopped at this little sandwich shop. It is quite quaint and the servers are extremely nice. The food, while decent, was not what I was hoping for. I had a Tim Allen sandwich, a bag of chips and a soda. The meat on the sandwich was good, however the bread was very dry and there was very little mayo and mustard. The price for what I received was a little higher than I expected, however not to bad. Overall I have mixed feelings about the shop. I gave four stars because the food was decent and the ladies who work there are great. The part I really liked was how they put olives on the sandwich and they look like eyes. read more

That is the biggest downfall of a sandwich. The bread was stale and lousy quality. How can a sandwich shop screw up a grilled cheese? The tomato soup was terrible. The chips were expired, not by a few days, but had been sitting on the shelves for months. read more

My favorite is the Tom Cruise Sandwich, Lori and her team are so very kind, servuce is to notch. From sandwiches to salads, soups to casserole, and even desserts are so fresh and tasty. read more

Plenty of parking and seating makes this quaint and inviting downtown sandwich shop an easy favorite to frequent. Their sandwich's are cleverly named after celebrities which only adds to the fun. Always fresh and plenty of variety. They even have daily special's making it a special treat to look forward to your weekly favorite. During the week I like the Katie Holmes and on Fridays the Richard Pryor, a special grilled cheese served with tomato soup. I also appreciate that they carry several Zero sodas which isn't yet widely available everywhere. The service is friendly and fast. Give this sandwich shop a try! read more

Ohhhh damn!!!! Bonni's Best is indeed in my opinion most definitely Best!!! Best damn Deli in town! Wow i can't believe my dumb ass has not been back in so many years what in the hell is wrong with you Tina?? Haha i've no clue but i am so happy i reconnected. I was on my way home from visiting my brother in the hospital a few weeks ago and drove past it downtown and was stopped right next to it at a long ass light Lol so i had nothing else to do but turn my head and see Bonnie's! I thought to myself...Wow i remember how freakin delicious this place was oh you're coming back soon girl ;)... A few days ago i had the absolute pleasure to return and my dumb ass decided on dinner of course they were out of soup, cookies, pasta salad and i'm sure much more it's downtown and i'm sure very busy with the business crowd and courts etc my son was disappointed but in my eyes it's our fault for waiting so late next time baby i'm ordering at open i will have their amazing soups and i am dying to have that pasta salad! Anyway very sweet people here quaint little deli on the corner of 21st st. I got the Dagwood and had them add housemate olive salad to it Huge Beautiful sandwich btw! My god please order that sandwich like that wholly hell it was DIVINE in every way that would make a sandwich Sexy! Yea i said that from the fresh sourdough to the perfectly shaved lettuce to the meats and cheeses this in my mind is the PERFECT sandwich!! I ate it all every last teeny shred of lettuce and all and was craving another haha!! It was THAT good ;)... My son got the Dr Laura Hot Pastrami, pepper jack,mustard, salsa (on the side) lettuce, tomato on Rye He loved it had them hold the tomato because he's allergic to fresh tomato oh they followed special requests with no issues i love that! He has already told me "Mom i will try every single sandwich on that menu!" Haha can you tell we are in love with them? Lol :D Macaroni salad and potato salad great!! I hate bought potato salad most of the time it's ick and sweet and undercooked! No these were made in house and delightful (i can't believe i just said that word haha) but that's the best way to describe them!! Simple, flavourful damn delicious. What surprised me was the kindness i found in my perfectly sealed bag they had told me they were out of most cookies so i didn't order any but really wanted to try them. I open my bag and right on top we're Raspberry filled cookies! I was shocked and so happy to see that...little things like that can really turn your day around and it did mine! And wow they were decadent and tart and soft and just the perfect amount of sweet! Thank You very much that was so kind of you guys :D.... Oh yes i've found MY deli!

Great Find A charming cafe with a quaint menu. The food was perfect and the clientele respectable. I felt very welcomed and at home read more

Oh my gosh, I'm in heaven. I couldn't even wait to finish my sandwich because it is THAT good. I ordered via door dash craving a turkey sandwich that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I wanted a classic tasting sandwich but with quality meats, cheese, toppings. Nothing too crazy, just basic but delicious. This place GETS IT!! I was nervous about eating any cold deli meat (preggo probs) so I called in to make sure the meat was warmed. Lupe answered the phone and kindly offered to go a step further and grill my Turkey meat. When it arrived, the sandwich was still warm. I can't thank kind customer service restaurants enough for taking special care and giving me everything I wanted and more. Thank you Bonnies Best, and big shout out to you, Lupe. You're the real mvp going above and beyond with customer service. Make sure you order the Bing Crosby if you want Ana amazing turkey sandwich. read more

Hearty sandwiches, tasty casseroles, friendly service. Have been long time customers, over three decades. Yes, I do recommend Bonnie's Best. read more

Everything is great when you want a quick break from cooking and the taste is great . My family always look forward to dinner from here.

The food is great for easy casserole dinners! Check out their dinner deals with salad and bread too. They are always fresh! You can feed a family of 4 for under $40! The service is always great. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful. The vibe is more of a small town cafe but very cozy and peaceful. We also love getting the dinners for families that are going through either hard times or celebrations. Easy meals to pass along to those you love or know! read more

They have the best Monte Cristo I've had in town. Get there early because they did sell out while so was there.

Great prices and their sandwiches are always made quick and delicious! I usually order for delivery online because of a 30 minute lunch break. It's one of the most affordable lunch options for delivery in the downtown area. I really appreciate this place! read more

This place is way overpriced for what you get. You'll spend about $15 for a whole sandwich, chips and a drink. The casseroles are just as pricey. The sandwiches are alright. Nothing special. I really hope this isn't Bonnie's Best. I figure she could do better. read more

The casseroles from Bonnie's Best are delicious! My husband and I have become regular customers since We found this delightful restaurant. Each day they bake a different casserole and we haven't found one we didn't enjoy! Besides their wonderful casseroles, they make very delicious sandwiches! If you haven't discovered this charming restaurant with its very delicious food, give it a try ---we know you will like it! Stan and Fay Cook read more

I've been there for a sandwich a few times and they are always good. However, I was diving by one late afternoon and saw they had shepherd's pie for the take home dinner. I've never eaten it before and always planned to make one, so I did a U turn and pulled up. I ran inside about 5 minutes before closing to get my pie. It was the most delicious, and for me down right decodent thing I've eaten in a long time! It was the perfect comfort food, perfectly seasoned, unkcious and delicious. I could taste the butter in it and it was amazing. I'm going to try more of their casseroles. They are home made and it would take a couple hours to make myself, and I don't know why I would ever make one again. read more

I ordered the Dr Laura, it was delicious. The only reason it's not a 5 star is the meat portion is a lil weak, I had a couple bites without pastrami. Price point is a tad steep for the lack of meat. Bonnie pls put more meat in the Dr Laura's and you'll have a regular customer! read more

Very nice little cafe/sandwich shop. They offer a variety of sandwiches (even a special of the day) they also offer homemade dinner casserole's to take home for 2, 4, etc. people plus awesome cookies & cupcakes. My husband ordered the BLT and he enjoyed the fresh crispy bacon. The special was the "Pocohantos" lol. This was a delicious Turkey sandwich with cranberry on fresh dark brown bread. I think the prices we paid were very reasonable. My husband got a couple of sugar cookies filled with cranberry (we ate on the drive home) had I known we're so delicious I would have bought more The atmosphere was nicely decorated and very clean following Covid regulations, everyone wore masks. We sat a 1950 era table (nice red) and enjoyed our food. We had a late lunch @ 1:30 but since this cafe is downtown I'm certain it's busy during lunch hours. Highly recommended read more

First time visiting Bonnie's since moving to Bakersfield, and let me tell you this place doesn't disappoint! The place has a really awesome retro 60s vibe to it. The chicken pot pie was $24, and full of flavor. Worth every penny! You do have to bake them for 60 minutes, but it was easy enough. I'm glad I decided to stop by Bonnie's! So the next time you're looking for a tasty meal stop by and support your local small business. read more

We loved the sandwiches we loved the salad !! Great lunch spot today. We will not wish they didn't use single use styrofoam cups for the drinks and plastic for the salad. We ordered to eat in and still plastic and styrofoam. It's 2022 we need to be smarter!!! read more

Their sandwiches are always fresh and you get a nice large portion of what ever sandwich u order. I love the home made bread loaf yum...Their baked goods are always fresh and seem a lot are home made. Only complain is the parking. Specially if you are disabled their is no designated area, you have to park on two very busy streets so it's too hard to try to take out your walker or needed items to help walking. So I suggest if you are disabled try to take someone along that can get down and pick up your order, not sure about if delivery is available. read more

Today was my first visit and I ordered the featured sandwich of the day. The Monte Cristo. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the jam was a sweet savory treat that I enjoyed very much. I picked up the chicken pot pie and a blueberry crumble for dinner tonight and will see how that is. read more
