I hope they grow. They have the extra hot snacks. Prices are decent. Street parking can be difficult. There are two tables outside if you want to sit and try your drink.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT! All of the candy and sodas us old folk grew up with…read more They have everything, except Marathon Candy Bars, but they are working on that. There is Abba Zabba's, Big Hunk's, Pop Rock's, REAL Pez Despensers not the cheap ones made these days. They have Butterscotch Beer. I mean that in itself is worth going. I am 55 years old and haven't had a Butterscotch Beer since around age 13. If you like retro Candy and soda, GO VISIT. Also connected to Busy Bee is a great antique shop. I will Yelp it soon. I am not adding captions to the photos. They speak for themselves.

Luigi's is a landmark restaurant in Bakersfield. It's a place where people come to eat, drink, and…read morecelebrate. It's always busy, and always bustling with people having a good time. What can I say that hasn't already been said? If you've never been there, then just go! You might have to wait to get in, but it's worth it. One of my favorites on their menu is The Luigi's Wedge Salad. A small one is a great bargain, and it's not exactly small. It's the perfect combination of lettuce, Prosciutto, onions, avocado, and cherry tomatoes in a delicious creamy basil salad dressing. Make sure and ask to have it chopped, and get a side order of pickled tongue to top it all off. It's a combination made in heaven. The Luigi sandwich is also another real favorite. Match it with a Peroni on tap, and just sit back and enjoy life. The patio out back is a great place to dine too. Every single person who works there is as nice as can be, and the deli next door is stocked with lots of fine foods and wine, and they have an excellent selection of various types of bleu cheese. Needless to say, Luigi's is a real fave.

We drove by Temblor Brewing, somehow we had missed it as we have been on this road many times. It is a real brewery and you can see the big aluminum stills set up. Sadly there was quite a line. I don't know if they take reservations, so check. Parking is easy. The place looks new and is so clean and really comfortable. They had several beers on to tap to check out and a very nice menu. It is all written on a board so you order and have a sit. They had live music which was great and fun. I don't know the schedule so call. Their salads are great and they have a few. They also have burgers and steak and we loved their chicken. The service is great. You will love this place.

We saw the line and stood in it while looking at the menu board and food menu too. We put in our orders and found our seat - there was live music on stage too - it was early in the day so we were surprised to be able to see it, a happy surprise for sure! I ordered an iced tea and its a self serve station - I loved the tea, it was brewed really well so anyone who wants a great tea come here! We wanted to get some food and both got salads - they were great salads, very fulfilling and all ingredients were treated well - I am picky with chicken and this chicken on my salad is like my favorite chicken now. There are lots of different beers so my husband was very happy to be able to try them. This place was awesome and we'll be back for sure, I loved the historical signs and facts on the wall near the entrance to the bathrooms too, it's nice to have ties to the history of the region.

You can get a quick meal to go, which I haven't done yet but am looking forward to. The aromas are Devine. The staff has always been friendly and helpful to me. They have a small but excellent meat department. I noticed that they have very reasonable prices and the lamb is especially affordable compared to other markets. They have a vast array of what are exotic groceries compared to other markets. I love to just peruse the isles when I'm there. I wish they had cooking classes. It would be interesting to learn how to use ingredients I'm not familiar with. I highly suggest a visit. You won't be disappointed.

It always turns out so delicious on the grill that I find myself wishing I could pack some up and bring it all the way back to Los Angeles with me! My dad absolutely loves grilling whenever we come to visit, and without fail, this is the only market we buy our carne asada from. It's become a family tradition at this point, and every cookout is something we all look forward to. Beyond the amazing meat selection, the market itself is clean, organized, and easy to shop. Everything is neatly stocked, making it simple to find what you need without feeling overwhelmed. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help, which makes the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for their famous carne asada or just picking up groceries, this is a neighborhood market that's definitely worth visiting. It's easy to see why my family has remained loyal customers, and I'll always look forward to coming back every time I'm in Bakersfield.

Let me tell you about this Free Reign Jam in Cinnamon Pear flavor. I wasnt sure what to expect but I was Intrigued. It was bought, I made a piece of toast and took a bite. This bite wasnt just a bite, it changed my entire outlook on jelly or jams. It took my toast to a whole new dimension. The only way I can describe this flavor to you is to say I felt I had taken a bite of cinnamon toast crunch cereal with a slight pear flavor at the end. The pear was subtle and soft but the cinnamon stole the show. The jam has all natural ingredients, no weird named preservatives and had a opened life of 30 days. It wont last that long, I must go back to try everything there and so should you. I think this jam would be lovely with a charcuterie board. Invite me over if you do I will help you devour it .

We got there right at 10am when they said they were supposed to open. The gates were locked. We finally waited in the little patio area (thanks to a thoughtful employee who saw us standing outside.) Employees arrived to open the doors about 10 minutes later. We were disappointed with the poor and meager selection and the prices were too high. I did end up getting some local honey and chicken and 1 peach. I haven't tried any of it yet. I don't think we'll go back. Maybe it gets better as the day goes on when they get more produce in?

The sandwiches do not come with a side, it would be better with a side even if cost is more. I do not know about service-you order at a counter and pay, I think they bring it out to the patio area, you place trash in bins when you finish eating. The patio area outside is pretty nice, there is some shade and a place to put your bike. Recommended if you are downtown and need a good BBQ plate or sandwich.
