Get the shake. It is massive and it is so good. We drove in as a pit-stop from one destination across town to the other so we didnt know much as we came in needed for some rest. The icecream parlor is so cute, spacious, and well-organized. read more

Came in to try their candies for the first time. First off, the person who helped was so nice and friendly. She was also very patient with out questions and helped us pick the quantity/pack for us. This spot was super cute, clean and organized. Would probably dine in soon. We tried their pistachio and almond candies and both were really good. Highly recommend this place (at least for their candies... for now). read more

After a late dinner, the family was wanting a sweet treat. I wanted to head downtown for my favorite ice cream spot but ultimately ended up settling for Dewars because it was getting late. Depending on what you're looking for the menu seemed a bit thin. I appreciate unique creations and it just consisted of all your classic cravings (shakes, sundaes, etc.) I have a nice sweet tooth but couldn't quite find what I was looking for, so settled for an ice cream sandwich. Can't go wrong? Yea, no. It was literally a scoop of ice cream sandwiched between a chocolate chip cookie. In spite of it being a sandwich, it was ironic because it didn't come together well at all. The cookie was cold and dry, too thick, and crumbled easily. It would have been much better had it been a warm nice and soft cookie. It didn't help that the ice cream was also very firm. It felt like 2 ingredients put together that failed to be cohesive. I'm sorry, not impressed. Next time I'll plan accordingly and head downtown. Despite the late night, the young lady that helped us was very sweet and energetic. read more

Our go to Birthday Ice-cream spot. Always greats people and the Maple Nut Ice-cream is my favorite flavor. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an old fashioned ice cream parlor. We love it there. We have also rented the party room for Birthday and Girl Scout parties. The kids love it! read more

Christmas wonderland, honestly I felt like a little kid in the candy store. I used to bring my kids to this location when they first opened, my kids are adults now but it brought good memories. I ordered the brownie sundae and bought a mug, ice cream to go, and some chews for Christmas stocking stuffers. The service was great, the place is big and an outdoor vibe seating that has a fireplace. I would recommend coming here especially this holiday. Buy some apparel, treats, and take some pictures for them memories. read more

Went to the ice cream shop off of Rosedale for the very first time and I really enjoyed how big the places and their ample booth seating. This place is quite large and also has space to host birthday parties, which was really cool. They also have a giant counter in the middle of the restaurant that you can sit at Well, this place is large. I feel like their downtown location has more options in terms of candy, truffles, and other knickknacks that you can purchase. And for the ice cream well... What can I say? It is always delicious. My son and his family who do not live in town really enjoyed this place and I hope we can go back many more times. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They made sure we had everything to ensure we enjoyed our experience. This is a great place when you're looking for a quick snack! Enjoy! PS we forgot to take photos of our ice cream treats read more

This was definitely one of the "if you're stopping in Bakersfield, you have to come to Dewar's" recommendations we received whenever we asked someone what to do in Bakersfield. I love the old-school ice cream parlor feel of this place! You seat yourself and staff come over to hand out menus, then when they check back in, you can place your orders. We came in around noon on a Sunday, but as our first meal of the day. I ordered a brownie sundae to split with a friend, which was the perfect portion. The ice cream was good but the marshmallow fluff on top was amazing! Gooey and sweet, but a great compliment to the cold ice cream. They also offer other sweets like candy and fudge, and they have a refrigerated section for bricks of ice cream to-go. I can definitely see how this a local gem! read more

Been here several times and always have a good time. Tried the new Christmas cookie flavor ice cream and was delicious! I feel awful I don't remember our servers name but she was so sweet and the gentleman tonight cleaning tables was just as sweet! Definitely a place my daughter loves to go and will be back! read more

I've been to Dewar's quite a few times, but why don't I remember the root beer floats literally floating? LOL The root beer float was yummy and made for a good laugh. Every time I come to Dewar's, I order vanilla ice cream in some form. This time as a float. It's simple yet delicious! Dewar's is a great spot to enjoy ice cream with friends. The iconic pink seats and the playful decor make it such a fun place. Service is swift and friendly too. read more

There is an old school ice cream parlor vibe once I walked in, which was cool. We sat ourselves and a server came over to take our order.

My mother is a native of Bakersfield and relocated decades ago. In town for a family event, we just had to visit Dewar's. Every single employee smiled and greeted us immediately. Jill was our server who was absolutely both patient and amazing. She answered our questions, made recommendations based on our likes and shared her favorites. The ice cream decision was so tough, but we landed on two Sundaes: butter finger, English toffee/pumpkin and eggnog with cold caramel and walnuts. Cold, sweet, creamy, all of the things! Gabryelle at the candy shop nearly had me purchasing all the pistachio chews...delicious! I loved the Dewar's "museum wall" chronicling the family's history in the candy business. Bakersfield is very fortunate to have such a "sweet experience" such as Dewar's. I understand my mom's childhood stories better now! read more

Dewar's original location is the best one in my opinion , such a nostalgic feel when you come in through the doors , you get a warm and cozy feeling especially during Christmas time. The ice cream is the best in town ,especially the strawberry in my opinion. If it's your first time I definitely recommend a two scoop sundae or banana split with marshmallow fluff and chopped almonds. read more

Visiting my family for the weekend...Dewars is always a treat full of nostalgia and delicious desserts. We received outstanding service from all, but most notably from our server Nanci. She was super professional, kind, patient & went above and beyond to make my visit as amazing as I remember from childhood. So good...I might even return again before I head home. Kudos to Dewars and Nanci! read more

Yelp menu said they offer sugar free (one person in our party is diabetic) Apparently they stopped having a single solitary sugar free option. When we asked why, we were told they just didn't sell enough of it. Maybe they should consider that it isn't about profit in order to be able to provide an option for the few. They lost business of our entire party- probably not good for profits in a bigger picture. read more

Such a cute place! Service is good, but I have to be honest, the flavor for the ice cream isn't great. I know a lot of people like it, but I'm not sure why. Their chews/taffy, are delicious! They have several flavors, almond and peanut butter are the best! They even have some sugar free chews/taffy. read more

Wow! The Icecream is worth the drive! If you need some great caramels, you are also in the right place. Take home some hot fudge too!

It's been a while since I've been to a soda fountain spot like this and I'm glad my girlfriend took me. I had to get my go to which is a chocolate chip cookie dough malt while she got the black and white with almonds on the top. The malt was so good and you get almost whole another malt left in the tin to take home if you don't finish it all! You gotta try their marshmallow fluff too, it was too bomb and you can even buy some that they jarred up from their little candy shop. I thoroughly loved this spot and will have to come back next time I'm out here. The ice cream was super good! It almost reminded me a bit like Blue Bell. My girl got me some chews too and these are must grab before you leave! Service was quick and everyone was super nice that was working even closer to when they were closing down shop for the night. I give this spot a 9/10. A must stop if you're ever in Bakersfield! read more

Hands down the best George's Special I've ever had! Dewar's Candy Shop absolutely nailed it -- rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. I asked if they could add marshmallow topping and extra walnuts inside the ice cream, and not only did they do it perfectly, but they were also incredibly polite and kind about the whole request. It's rare to find both amazing quality and exceptional customer service in one place, but Dewar's delivered on all fronts. Can't wait to come back! read more

A Bakersfield Staple! And for good reason! My family and I stopped by this location on a Saturday evening. I was a bit worried that it was going to be super busy due to the time that we went. But we were seated promptly and our waiter Julio took care of us. He made sure to offer us samples of certain ice creams before making our decision which I very much appreciated. My wife and I both ordered a small sundae each, which was the perfect amount for us considering we both had just had dinner. Our ordered arrived in about 10 minutes. The ice was creamy frozen goodness! Perfect for any time of year. There was plenty of space indoor and outdoor to sit which included tables, booths and counter seating. read more

This may sounds dramatic but it is what it is. A little piece of my childhood died when I found out that my favorite flavor since I was a child had been removed. Lemon Flake. Every year when I come back to visit family for the holidays that is always a required stop for that reason but that tradition is dead. Replaced with the same ok basic flavors like everywhere else with increased prices. Dewars was a staple and now its just a memory shattered by efficiency and profit saving, RIP. Dewars is Dead. read more

Ice cream is great. I just don't understand if you order a black and gold why marshmallow whip can't be put in it upon request. Not just one location but two of them have said it's against policy? What kind of customer service is ordering something and willing to pay extra to make it the way you want. All other orders were able to add or remove ingredients with no issues within our group for other ice cream types. What is the difference from me ordering it and just making it the way I asked. read more

Small sundae that was originally served in an 8 ounce paper cup this is what I got when I asked if they could put it in a dish! This evening was the first time at this location & most definitely the last! Dewar's is known for their old-fashioned ice cream. What we didn't know that it was also served with a side of old fashion bigotry, racism and prejudice! Not only were we not acknowledged when we came in & as we continued to sit unacknowledged we witnessed the people who came in after us sit next to us. They were handed menus, order & get served. We finally asked for menus & were told they only had one & we had to share it. We were served in paper cups as everybody else in the establishment was served in glass dishes. I was handed this plastic container when I asked the waitress for a dish because I couldn't even stick the spoon in the sundae without the almonds spilling everywhere. We felt very uncomfortable & decided to leave & we went to pay for our ice cream. We talked to the manager. She apologized, asked who our server was, comped the ice cream that we didn't eat. If our server Katlyn & her coworkers are the future of this country, we are most definitely headed in the wrong direction as a nation. read more
