Always searching for the best espresso when I travel, Covenant Coffee landed on my list…read more I love that Covenant Coffee is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and employing current and former foster youth. With every purchase you are giving a youth a chance at a new future. How cool is that! Coffee for a good cause. I loved the space and the coffee and took home a bag of beans from Brazil. The Americano was hot and delicious, and the service was amazing. I loved they have foster youth working in the store. Go, and tip heavily. It's a great coffee spot.

I was there today (9/4/26) from 8:30-9:30am. There were two female baristas and one guy who seemed…read moreto be a manager working with the Covenant Coffee non-profit from his talking about working with foster youth and hiring decisions with the two employees. He had a tattoo near the corner of his eye and was wearing a jersey. It really disturbed me about how he seemed to be harassing the baristas. He told one of them "your tummy is sticking out again," when she said "it's because I just ate," he said "no it's always sticking out." He them proceeded to complain to them about another employee who "decided to get knocked up right when things were getting busy," and said some other things about maternity leave. The most apalling thing was he then asked the barista "if you're pregnant and found out your son was gonna be retarded, would you do the un-Catholic thing?" She tried to brush him off by saying "it would be too late," to which he made a joke about using a "coat hanger." Truly the most apalling thing I've ever witnessed at any establishment. I never leave reviews at all, but I had to report this because it seems like this guy involved with management is bullying and harassing the employees. And this non-profit works with foster youth?! Edit: Thanks Randy for the follow up message, I really appreciate it and agree everyone deserves a chance to learn and grow from mistakes. I'll still be grabbing coffee at Covenant whenever I'm in town. Thanks again for the follow up, I really appreciate it.

Been coming here for years now and the Adeni Tea is hands down my favorite drink in town. I was…read morealready a milk tea kinda girlie in the boba universe, but this was the first beverage of theirs that I tried and it scratched a certain itch I'd been unconsciously craving. Something old-world maybe? Like a flavor that's existed for centuries and been passed down through time and so so many generations... and it's now landed in our corner of the world that's just a few blocks away? Globalization and the world within, for f' sakes! This place is truly brilliant. More recently, I'm only in town a few days out of the week, but I make a point to visit this location or their other location, Mokhamena on Panama, each day I'm here to, at a minimum, pick up two for myself--the first one is to function and the second is to savor. There was a time I'd pick up the party-size for my coworkers when I liked them... but alas, times have changed so more for me. The staff there are always friendly and awesome, and on days that I'm lucky enough, I get to actually enjoy the cafe. So grateful you guys are here and sharing flavors from across the world.

Stopped here randomly on a drive going up north…read more We ordered drinks as well as breakfast and we're surprised with how good everything was. We got a griller, grilled cheese, herbal tea and a cappuccino. The menu is great so much variety. You get your standard coffee you can get anywhere as well as specialty drinks which blows Starbucks out of the water. No competition. Service was good, customer service is exactly what you want. Very friendly baristas absolutely no complaints here. The vibe is really cool, I enjoyed the decor, there's a bunch of parking all around and plenty of seating for people as well. It is outside but it's covered. Would I be back, well if I'm on the road again sure why not. I much rather support a small unique business like this over a large corporation.

As a big coffee person, this place was adorable!! It caught our eye every time we drove by while we…read morewere in town and so glad we tried it. Customer service was great, the drinks were delicious and pricey nicely compared to big competitors. We got a strawberry breeze, a lumberjack a caramel latte and vanilla one both iced. They all were so good!! Definitely recommended if in the area. We also prefer to try every coffee shop we see esp those not big name brands and this one is top 3 for sure! Delicious and not too sweet to where you can still taste the good coffee. Will def be back if in area again.

Been meaning to go to this for a while now. Keep driving by when it's already closed…read more Came in and immediately love the space and decor. 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. I haven't had such a soft cookie given to me at an establishment in a long while. It was a great surprise. The latte was well balanced. Wasn't too sweet and I could taste everything they said was in it. Liked it quite a bit. Fiancé liked his cold brew as well, he was glad he got a large. Service was great! Everyone was nice and answered all our questions. Will try and come here more often!

As I was walking I saw the sign for this place and was happy I did because my other coffee options were a fast food restaurant or the famous coffee chain. It was a bit confusing to locate. 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. My order was taken quickly. I ordered an iced americano with a ham and cheese turnover. Coffee was on point. No notes. No complaints. The pastry however was not good. They asked me if I wanted it heated up. I said I did. I saw her put it in the microwave, and I assumed they turned it on. When I bit into it (I had already left and walked across the street) it was cold. Like cold cold. On top of that it was flavorless which made it worse. Stick to the coffee or make sure you check the temp of the food prior to leaving.

I've heard of Beanies but I've never stopped by until today. It's tucked away in a little plaza, so…read moreit has a pretty quiet atmosphere. The cafe is very clean and has lots of seats both indoors and outdoors. I was torn between trying their strawberry matcha or their banana matcha. The barista suggested the banana matcha since it's seasonal. It tastes a lot like banana bread and milk. I wish the matcha flavor was stronger though.

Been here a couple of times & this is the best Vietnamese coffee spot in Bakersfield for sure! Not…read moreonly is the coffee super strong, the foam is sooo good (cream cheesy, salty and sweet) & it's really affordable too. The drinks usually come out pretty quick & are consistent every time :). The only thing that's kinda weird is how warm it is inside! I also don't think you can study here bc there's no WiFi -- but it would be a nice place to come and catch up w friends! Also, they're currently doing a 2 for 1 sale! (4/26/26). I took a short hiatus for a bit because I had a bad experience with one of the baristas being a bit short / rude lol, but thank you to Brandon for being so bright / helpful after I asked so many questions! I was able to make a decision pretty quickly after he allowed me to try a small sample of the tiramisu foam top. If you're somebody who likes the drinks pretty sweet, I would recommend getting a higher level of sweetness bc again, the coffee is pretty strong / bitter (just how I like it, personally). I really love the banana Vietnamese coffee (wish it was a banana top; but the bananas are blended in and you can def taste the chunks -- which I like bc I hate artificial banana taste) & the tiramisu Vietnamese coffee is super good as well. I have yet to try any other drinks yet bc the coffee is just so good :)

First time trying this place, and it was good. However, it…read morewould be really great if the drinks had a description to know exactly what it has. We were surprised that the Aloe Vera drink had jelly (which I would have preferred without) so it just would have been nice to know prior to ordering.

Don't know what to order from Bagel & Blenderz because there's so many options? The correct answer…read moreis the peanut butter bagel with peanut butter cream cheese! I say that hole-heartedly (get it). Anyways, a coworker introduced me to that order and to this place and it has been a favorite! They get busy in the mornings, but the service has always been great. There's nothing like the smell of toasted bagels in the morning to start your day.

If you're planning on stopping by, I'd highly recommend ordering online or ahead of time because it…read moregets busy fast. Seating is limited both indoor and outdoors. I've only tried their breakfast bagels so far and my favorites are the Rosemary Haven and the Morning Starter. The portions are generous. The latte was sold, while the matcha was a bit of sweeter than I prefer, but that's easy enough to customize the next time around. The only downside has been accuracy with my to go orders. A couple of times my order wasn't prepared correctly. As for the service, the staff is polite, it's usually packed and you can tell everyone is focused on keeping orders moving. I haven't had a chance to try their cold sandwiches or paninins yet, but they're definitely on my list for a future visit .

The menu has a…read morevariety of hand made drinks- coffees, teas, and smoothies as well as assorted breakfast bites, brunch items, lunch options, fresh fruit, and baked goods. We had to order to go and got the Café de Olla (so bomb!), a matcha avocado smoothie, a latte, a muffin and a cheese danish. The space is relaxing and there's plenty of room to enjoy your goodies, alone or with friends. This location is part of the "Blue Zone Project" of Bakersfield (there's a photo in my review that tells you all about it). I think my favorite thing besides the great food are the employees! So nice and helpful explaining any questions you may have and they'll even tell you how they make their food and drinks if you'd like to know. It's a great place to study at, read, or visit with a friend. They aren't open on the weekends but they're open until 4pm M-F. Next time you're in the area, grab a bite!
