This is my go-to cheat day coffee spot. The girls are super friendly and always happy to greet you with a smile on their faces! The lines can be long, but they are fast moving so you aren't usually stuck in line too long. As for the drinks-- delicious! BUT not somewhere I go often because this is a caffeinated dessert spot, not a coffee shop! All the flavored drinks are going to be followed with a sugar crash lol.. I love every drink I have tried here, but I don't get em unless I'm having a total cheat day lol All in all, great little spot! Would recommend to others that aren't shy about seeing some girls work in their underoos lol read more

I finally started coming here after driving past it for a year. Pros: Service is great and personable. The girls are super sweet and are able to talk to two customers at a time. It's a talent. I prefer their coffee here to most places. They also have fun, unique flavors, and the girls will make a drink to your tastes if requested. -Price is also good. I ordered two large coffees the other day, and it was under $12 bucks. Cons: Because there is usually only one person working at a time, wait times can be long. They can't really control the sugar levels in your coffee. They can try, but there isn't a percentage system like in some other places. I might need to try their other flavors, but unlike their coffee, their tea isn't great. I'm not a fan. I have never had more fun waiting at a drive-through. If you have a chance to stop by, it's worth it. I may do an update when I have a chance to try their food! read more

This is basically a Hooters coffee shop but NO warning and the barista outfits are terribly ugly. Our server was wearing a string bralette with boyshort underwear... while pregnant. I've seen women in Vegas wear more clothing and way better uniforms at Hooters! Anyways, as far as the food and drinks go.... I ordered a Large Mocha Latte and their French Toast Bagel Sandwich. The Mocha Latte was just decent. Like many other reviewers, I felt like it was lackluster and mine was bitter and/or burnt. I was honestly surprised that it wasn't sweet at all. And the French Toast Bagel was not good. The idea sounds great on the menu, but it is executed awfully. The bagel itself is good, but the sausage patty and egg is too small to full cover the sandwich. They should make the bagel smaller or make the egg and sausage patty bigger because the first bite is just thick dry bagel - nothing else. They also put "bacon" on, but it was more like Canadian bacon because it was soft and had a bunch of jiggly fat. They should just use regular crispy bacon. Overall, I rate it 1/5 stars. Won't come back. read more

We went here thinking it was still Java Detour. It's not. We decided to give it a try anyway. I don't care about the servers in bras. It's fine. My problem is that the regular Classic Coffee tasted burned, as if it had been on a burner all day. It was after 2pm, so maybe it had been brewed in the morning and left on the hot plate. I expect that from a waiting room, or the drunk tank, or my MiL. Not from a coffee place. The coffee tasted old and burned. When we got back to work, my husband poured out his entire Large cup. I sipped on mine for a while, but eventually poured it out as well. read more

I finally went to Bottoms Up coffee and I loved it! It's a drive up spot with only 1-2 people working and 2 windows, so be prepared to wait a bit if there are cars in line. The first time we visited we pulled up she was already serving the 1 car, so we got helped pretty quickly. Our barista wore a nurse outfit to work, I think her name was Gabby? She was really patient with us newbies and helped us pick out drinks and the coffee itself there. As she warned us, the coffee is stronger than Starbucks! It was so much better than the super sugary, not so coffee ish coffee we get at Starbucks. We have been back a handful of times since the past few weeks because the coffee is.pur favorite on the west side now and the girls who work here so far have all been very kind and helpful! I know many people are sucked into the drama of the gimmick that they wear bikinis and lingerie, either going there for that or NOT going there because of that. I'm here to say the coffee alone is worth it!!!! The pricing is better than starbucks, too. read more

Got a medium vanilla latte. I'm surprised to say it was delicious!! Smooth and perfect temp!! I didn't have much of a wait. Starbucks that is adjacent to this, is new, they are always slow and they mess my order up all the time. I'm always in a hurry and that location isn't conducive to me stopping there any longer. So I decided to try bottoms up!! The girl that help me was very friendly. It must be loud inside (probably trying to stay warm) she couldn't hear me unless she was at the window!!

I've never been to a coffee place like this. So, I stayed in Bakersfield for a few nights and wanted a coffee, and close to my hotel was a drive-thru coffee place called Bottoms Up Expresso. Yes, there was a Dutch bros and Starbucks close by, but they are everywhere. I wanted to try a different place. Ordered my drink and pulled up to the window , I saw the barista was dressed in a t-shirt and her underwear. I guess this is the big deal of this coffee shop. I personally didn't care. My drink was great and the batista was friendly. I would definitely go back again if in the area. It beats going to the same old coffee joints. read more

I liked this place. I decided to give it a try after my friends and I talked about this place the night before. I pulled up to the drive up window slightly embarrassed of what I was about to see....Barista in a bra and mini skirt. Boy did I feel bad as i'm bundled up in a parka. After browsing the menu, I was still unsure of what to order. The barista was so incredibly helpful. I normally like to drink black coffee and refrain from anything too sweet. The barista recommended that I ordered the blonde monkey for my pal and an Americano for myself. I then added a Pizza bagel deal for $2 more. I had a sip of my friend's Blonde Monkey and it was interesting. However, my friend enjoyed it very much. It is white coffee with a hint of banana. I must add that I do have a slight allergy to bananas so 3 sips was just enough for me and i'm glad I didn't order it. Americano was average, nothing special. The price is a little steep, but you're getting a very large cup of coffee. 24 oz yo! I think it was like $5 something for the Blonde Monkey and $3.75 for the Americano. The bagel was a solid 3 stars. Typical, nothing special. Nice balance of sweet and salty. Overall, the highlight of this experience was the customer service. I went in today at 8 am and forgot the name of the barista. Kudos to her anyhow. read more

My hats are off to these lovely ladies. They are working it and I truly do not understand why this place is not packed ALL the time. I mean, come on.. hot girls, scantily attired, and serving up tasty coffee and always pleasant. You would think there would be a long ass line. It confounds me, The only thing I can think of, is that people are too uptight... because the coffee is better here than at some of the other local locations. The only cons are that it closes early and it is way on the other side of town. Come on people... these ladies are out here first thing in the morning and it gets cold as hell out here... and they are still smiling and friendly. Give them a little support. Personally, I think that whoever came up with this is genius. I bet they would do great in L.A. I am never really out on that side of town, or else I would come here more often. To hell with people who can't get past what they are wearing. Get over it. Get a life. And come get some damn coffee. It is the elixer of life. :-) read more

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.

Then the pink dome desert (Mrs. Pink)... they did not have it. Finally, the guava dessert... THEY DID NOT HAVE IT. I asked if they were simply just out for the day. I was informed that "one day they just stopped making it" and that they no longer serve those items. It would be nice if such enticing pictures were removed if the item were no longer sold there. Using such items as the profile picture is quite misleading. Would have saved me some time as I did veer 30 mins out of my original destination just to try these non existent desserts.

Comfortable interior.

I had no idea this locally owned coffee shop existed in Bakersfield until Yelp! There are even 3…read morelocations- one in downtown, on Panama Ln, and this one. 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.

First off, this cafe is beautiful!! Such gorgeous designs, furniture, decor, everything. It's a…read moregreat place to sit down. They also had free WiFi & since it's near the university, it's popping with college students working on their laptops. I absolutely love the variety of items to eat & drink! I got the Dubai chocolate, manakeesh, mint mango smoothie (seasonal for Ramadan, not a permanent item) & a Vimto refresher. I've never had Dubai chocolate before but I am STOKED I had it here for the first time. Perfect size, perfect crispy texture & powerful flavor. I love that the pistachio isn't overwhelming. The manakeesh is my all time favorite. Flatbread with white melted cheese & the perfect seasonings. It's embarrassing how quick I ate it. I can't savor it because it's THAT GOOD!! Only $3!!! The Vimto refresher is my absolute favorite new drink. It has sparkling water with berries. Chefs kiss. I know it's going to hit hard in the summer when I'm needing a cold drink. The mint mango smoothie is PHENOMENAL! The balance of mint & mango is just right. I hope they keep this item around. The service was also wonderful. Kind baristas that are knowledgeable & definitely hard workers! They are a very busy business & they handle it with ease. One thing I do not care for (but it will not affect negatively on my review) is credit card payments. Your subtotal they tell you after you order is only if you pay cash. If you pay card, it is atomically more because of credit card charges but they do not say that. It will also reflect an even higher amount on the screen because it automatically adds 20% gratuity to your credit card charge. So it goes from one price, to another, to another. I always tip but if it's not a restaurant, it will typically be 10%. Be aware of the charges when you go. I absolutely love this spot. I can't wait to try new drinks & food!

When I attempted to get some assistance the two people behind the counter were on headsets and helping others which is great but once done ignored me. Hmmm oh well went down the street to a competitor was greeted and received what I needed in just a few minutes. I hope we can go back to human customer service instead of automated. Might be a smart investment for companies to consider hiring more humans instead of installing kiosks.

I grabbed The Morning Starter on an everything bagel and was engulfed in deliciousness. I highly recommend and can't wait to try more of their bagel sandwiches. I also grabbed a peanut butter bagel, a must for me when stopping by. The spinach bagel is another longtime favorite, and I think I'll need another trip in the near future just for it. There was a bit of a line when I walked in, to be expected from such a popular spot during peak breakfast hours. That being said, they always work through the line quickly and I got my order fast from the friendly folks behind the counter. Which worked out great since I was in a bit of a morning hurry.

Bagels and Blenderz was really busy so seating was next to none. It took about 10-15 minutes to get my bagels The bagels were fresh, however, these are not your traditional NY style bagels....unfortunately. A New York-style bagel is a dense, chewy, and glossy bagel known for its distinct malty flavor, achieved by boiling in water with barley malt before baking. Key characteristics include a shiny, crisp crust and a soft, chewy interior. Bagel and Blenderz bagels: 2/10, no "chew" very dense and I can smell the yeast, definitely not a traditional bagel. Heck Panera has better bagels. These are more like very dense bread masquerading as bagels. I'm beyond disappointed. Additionally, no one in my house liked them. I don't recommend the bagels. Thumbprint cookies, I had high hopes for these, but they are rock hard. I expected a nice flaky cookie, similar to the thumbprint cookies from Smith Bakery. This rating is solely based on the food purchased and doesn't reflect customer service. Customer service was good and staff were friendly.

As my Book Club was looking for a coffee shop to get together to do vision boards, I thought of it based off of my daughter's recommendation. She and her friends have come here to study, and the vibe is perfect for it! Welcoming staff, delicious coffee (hot and cold) and juices, rotating bakery items, a cute gift shop/a book store right next door, a prayer wall, and lots of different and comfortable seating arrangements make this coffee shop one that you have to visit. After spending the morning doing vision boards here with the girls, several indicated that this will become their "go to" from now on. Highly recommend!
