I had high hopes for this place or maybe I just ordered the wrong thing…read more This place is downtown Bakersfield so parking can be challenging during peak hours. Coffee shop is small and furniture looks very used, aesthetically not very appealing but I'm here for coffee, right? Several signature drink options and quite a few sugar-free options as well. I was undecided between the lavender latte and the Mexican mocha. Barista told me the Mexican mocha was her favorite, so I went with that. The coffee was extremely hot but honestly, nothing spectacular. It's was extremely basic and know I can make this at home. They used a powder mix but nothing to make it their own, just right out of can..so disappointing. They did have several baked good options. I probably wouldn't come back here. No restrooms are available for customers.

Tried Blue Oaks Coffee in Bakersfield today and it was a bit of a mixed bag…read more My vanilla latte was spot on -- smooth, well balanced, and exactly what I wanted. My wife's cold brew, though... was rough. Like really rough. Hard to finish. Food was also hit or miss. The blueberry empanada was absolute perfection -- a delicious, non-sweet pastry with a bright blueberry filling that worked beautifully together. Easily the highlight. On the other hand, the butter English scone thingy was honestly inedible. Overall: some real standouts and some big misses. A mixed experience, but that blueberry empanada alone almost makes it worth another try.

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!

I've been to the Bakersfield roasting Company several times I've had different lattes and they're…read morealways made to perfection. The environment is super welcoming and there's plenty of space for large groups. I've had the garlic bagel, but my only complaint would be. I wish there were more food options. Other than that this place is fantastic and I will continue to be a customer here. Look forward to coming back.

If you don't look for this, you'll never find it, it's almost a legal while in the wall.. but well…read moreknown And loved! What can I say about this place.. I've definitely been coming here since the beginning, thanks to my mom! It's stood out from the very beginning & I love how much they have expanded. There's something for everyone on their men. I think they have some of the best matcha's around (but if you drink your matcha with LOTS of sweetener.. you probably won't like a real matcha from here) -- I say this bc people complain that it taste like GRASS... and well, it damn near is (green tea leaves) lol -- all jokes aside, their drinks and food are all hand crafted and all made and / or roasted in house! I have not once ever had a complaint about this place. I love the ambience inside and out. Plenty of spaces to work from (one of my fav spots) Service is always ask expected for hand crafted drinks and food! The workers are always very knowledgeable about their menu items & products, love that! Their pop tarts... if you can get them when they have them.. TRY THEM OUT!! Actually, all their pastry's and breakfast items are delicious! (I just always forget to take pictures) haha I will always come here for food/homemade pastries , a drink or to work!

Component Coffee Lab sits tucked behind the downtown buildings, the kind of spot you don't stumble…read moreinto by accident. You find it because someone told you about it, or because you were looking for a place that feels a little more city than Central Valley. Brick walls, hanging art, a patio out front call it rustic, call it urban, call it hipster. Whatever the word is, it fits. Inside, the place hums. Not the quiet hum of a sleepy café, but the full‑volume buzz of people who treat coffee shops like co‑working spaces. The whole back section was a sea of laptops when I walked in, a slow tide of remote workers drifting out as the hour passed. Young folks, older folks, groups talking over each other a mix that tells you this spot has become a kind of community hub, even if the noise makes it hard to read without noise‑canceling buds. I came for a simple moment, a London Fog and a book. The tea was good, made with Rishi, a brand I'd never heard of but wouldn't mind trying again. I sipped it slowly, trying to sink into the page, but the chatter kept pulling me back to the room. Not a bad thing, just not the right place for quiet reflection. Some cafés are built for solitude; this one is built for motion. The staff was friendly, your standard modern barista crew, casual, quick, and easygoing. They run a tight operation, even offering mobile orders, something you usually see in bigger industrial coffee spots. Pastries, sandwiches, teas, espresso, the menu covers all the bases. Finding the entrance was its own adventure. Two doors, a divider in the middle, and a moment of "Wait... which side do I go through?" Not a dealbreaker, just one of those quirks that makes you laugh once you figure it out. Lighting is interesting here, low lamps mixed with a flood of natural light pouring in from the center of the shop. It gives the place a warm‑meets‑industrial feel, like a café that grew out of a warehouse and decided to keep the personality. Will I come back? Maybe. It's a great spot for people‑watching, conversation, or getting work done. But for reading, for sinking into a book with a drink, it's a place that demands either silence from the world or silence from your earbuds. Component Coffee Lab is loud, lively, and loved, just not quiet. And maybe that's the point.

I've also had the Mazapan Latte & my husband had the Sweet Latte? Both delicious. Staff is always very friendly and fairly quick! It's the perfect setting / ambiance for a quiet talk, a silent solo work day, or even just reading a book! There's also outside seating :) We love mavericks! Give them a try, and try their overnight oats!! Make sure to try their seasonal items if you can

This place kept showing up on my Yelp when I searched for coffee shoppes. I couldn't wait to try it…read more, looked over the menu , ordered and waited. Drinks were kinda pricey. Ordered a large iced mocha and a large cookie butter I think with tax came to $16. Drinks took a little longer than expected to get. Drinks were okay, honestly thought they would have had more flavor ; the taste of either flavor didn't really pop out . For once , thought these iced drinks needed more iced; wasn't much ice in either of them . Drinks were more kinda lukewarm temperature wise. Pretty cool to see the coffee machine inside; were they roast fresh coffee beans.

I overheard a guy at my gym talking about his coffee shop and I was like... okay! Most definitely…read moreneed to see what the all the rave was about. Since I do love a good coffee spot! So of course I went and ordered a caramel macchiato & a cold brew, cold foam with honey brown sugar, & YUM, TASTY, SWEET!!! Such a pleasant surprise! The macchiato was perfectly balanced not overly sweet and you could really taste the coffee (which I appreciate so much). As for the cold brew...So smooth with a little boldness, but the honey adds the sweetest touch. It was giving cozy, it was giving "one more sip please." You can tell they're still getting everything fully set up, but it already feels like it's going to be such a cute little spot to sit, study, or catch up with someone over a delicious cup of coffee. I'll definitely be back for my little coffee dates or a good book!
