[[HIGHLIGHT]]I stopped by this spot near the entrance of the Padre Hotel to meet up with a friend, and it turned out to be a super cute and quiet place, perfect for catching up or getting some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Build: After asking the very nice workers for a recommendation, I skipped the breakfast burrito and went with the Brioche French Toast, which comes with strawberries, rich butter, and an ample amount of syrup for dipping. I also noticed they had a banana matcha on the menu and just had to try it. The Flavor Profile: Taste-wise, the brioche French toast was absolutely heavenly and did not disappoint. The rich butter melted easily, the strawberries added the perfect touch, and there was plenty of syrup to go around. The banana matcha was an absolute standout as well, honestly one of the best banana matchas I have ever tried. There really wasn't a single letdown with the food or drinks. The Verdict: [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a wonderful, quiet little spot with great service and easy 2-hour street parking right outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Whether you're looking for a cute place to meet a friend or a nice environment to sit down and do some work, I would highly recommend checking it out. read more

This was my first time ever staying at this hotel, Padre Hotel, and it was definitely a fresh breath of relaxing air in such a allergy bothersome town for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not only was the room, immaculate and cozy get modern, but there was a plant coffee shop downstairs along with a bar and restaurant![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Look for my review on the Padre hotel, but this coffee shop was too cute!! I was really surprised to see if they had three different options for face milks since I'm lactose intolerant in such a small town! They also had a cute takeout yogurt, parfait that my sister-in-law loved! Since we got it to go, they even put napkins and a fork, along with a miniature glass tub of honey in the bag! So cute and quaint to have her all set up with our takeout breakfast!! The latte I had was delicious and hit the spot perfectly! Espresso wasn't burnt and tasting since I'm very picky, and she really enjoyed her cup of coffee as well. The barista also told us that she could keep the cup and get free refills all day! What a great deal!! The only thing I was sad about is the fact I couldn't stay longer and get an actual hot breakfast from there takeout menu! There were so many items that look delicious and I saw other customers already ordered them, but we were in a time crunch! I will definitely be back at the Padre hotel and we will definitely be a guest at the coffee shop in the morning! read more

I assumed that the coffee would be incredibly overpriced given the location, but it was actually very reasonable and the coffee was amazing! I went on a busy day (during a wedding open house), but the barista was still calm and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't wait to go back and try more of their signature drinks, my husband and I are always looking for a quiet place to enjoy our coffee and do some work or Bible reading.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My friend and I wanted to try out a new spot and after coming here once we had to come back for the full experience.The food is good nothing to complain about, the prices were fair. I got to say the "Maple Bar shaken espresso" was probably the best drink I've had in a long time.. I'll probably stick to the drinks over the food here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The spot fills up quick but they do have a small patio and they also let you sit in the other dining area so that's nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's nice spot to hang out at and they open until 8pm which is great for a cafe . definitely see myself coming here a lot more. read more

The Padre Hotel is always a great time and one of my favorite local food/drink spots! The cafe is inside of the hotel and I'm so happy to see that they've extended their hours until later in the day. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I came here to study and the ambience in the cafe was great. It was lively with others eating and hanging out as well as others there getting some work done too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food looked delicious which I will definitely have to try next time. This is also the only cafe in town that I know of where they will spike your coffee with alcohol, which is definitely a bonus point. The staff were very helpful, quick, and accommodating. I look forward to coming back soon! read more

06/13/26 AMAZING SPOT. I come here for their matcha and it's so good! The staff are so nice and helpful! They even have a stamp card where you get the fifth drink for free! I saw someone on here say their matcha is sweet which I'd say, not really. I do get mine with extra syrup and cold foam but just a simple matcha latte isn't very sweet. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute small spot to study as well![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have all kinds of cold foams as well, I'd recommend the cookie dough :) read more

Farmacy - You will be well informed if you buy coffee here. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bakersfield, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Five stars because it's one of the few places in town that has space to do work and has a lobby.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When my manager came to town we were looking for a good co-working spot, specifically a hotel lobby coffee shop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Farmacy might be the only one in Bakersfield. If there's another, do let me know![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had plenty of coffee options, including alcoholic versions for those that need a little more than caffeine to start their day. Prices were also exceptionally reasonable. Two coffees for under $10 is a deal any day. read more

Came in today for the first time and the staff were super helpful and gave us some great recommendations for our drinks. The iced honey bear latte was a 10/10 :) There was a slight mix up with our food order, but they went above and beyond to correct it.

Meh. For starters, pretty less than inviting person behind the counter. We told her it was our first time there and she basically just said "oh". You kinda expect there to be a "welcome and hope you enjoy". Coffee was good. Nothing special. Food was terribly bland. I had the Padre Skillet and was immensely disappointed. For one it wasn't a skillet size, rather a small bowl. Food was surprisingly bland and void of any flavor. My wife ordered bacon and a side of toast. Bacon was very good, toast was slightly warmed bread, at best. Overall experience bordered on a 1 or 2. I love The Padre for a night out before and after a concert, so I feel bad about a bad rating, but sheesh... you earned this one! read more

Excellent coffee! I'm not a big breakfast person so I just had a muffin, but the extensive breakfast menu looked delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One stands in line to order then you can choose to sit in or outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Located on the first floor of The Padre, I tried Farmacy one day while staying at the hotel. The employees were very nice and welcoming. I decided to try something new and ordered a spiked Mexican coffee (tequila, cream, cinnamon). Note - if you order a spiked drink, you have to drink it inside (you can't take it to go as it has alcohol). The spiked Mexican coffee was good, no complaints. Not a bad choice for coffee/pastries if you don't want to leave the hotel! read more

I am writing another review for the Farmacy Cafe. I usually would not change my rating of a business, however, I would like to make sure that everyone knows about the Farmacy Cafe. I want to change my rating from Five Stars to SIX, but I cannot. Everything I have had at the Farmacy has been GREAT. There was a problem with my breakfast the other day and it was immediately corrected. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I cannot say enough about my experiences at the Farmacy Cafe. GO, GO, GO! Everything is good. Everything is perfect. As a side note, the staff are EXCELLENT! read more

Service was great this was my second time having coffee here I had the latte with almond milk and Irish cream great on the stronger side my preference. The avocado toast was great, potatoes even better the best out of our experience. The chorizo burrito was good nothing wrong with it just something I probably would've chosen to make at home for cost efficiency. Our total was 49$ after tip. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Both times I've been the ambiance has been chill, just people in their own bubble.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Not what I expected (a breakfast diner)... but a fun surprise (a nice coffee shop with a kitchen to make some quality food options)! This is a coffee shop at the bottom of the Padre Hotel, next to the post office. They have some pastries in a case. And they have a menu of several breakfast meals (acai, oats, avocado toast, skillet, etc.) and sides (fruit, bacon, sausage, etc.). I ordered a skillet and was very happy with it. I tend to order skillets for breakfast, and this one was on the smaller side but it was adequately filling. This skillet is by far the most unique (in a good way) and flavorful skillet I've ever had! I'm gluten-free & dairy-free, and they didn't bat an eye about making sure my skillet would be safe for me. I also ordered a chai. They use Tazo concentrate, and offer alternate milk options. So this was another win for my gluten-free dairy-free self! It's a nice looking, classy (cloth napkins & quality silverware - yay!), and totally unassuming cafe. The drinks are great! The food is phenomenal! Price is nice. The service was friendly and quick. What more could I want in a coffee shop?! I'll definitely be back! read more

A lovely place for a weekday downtown breakfast meeting! The acai bowl was light yet filling. And the iced latte with oat milk was refreshing. Parking directly in front was full, but there was ample free parking (with no time limit) just a block away. Service was friendly and prices were high average. read more

Good coffee, tasty and HUGE breakfast sandwich with potatoes on the side (I saved half and ate it later in the day!) Food portions were generous and quality good. Lost a star based on the uninspired service - no smiles, not warm and welcoming, seemed like I was bothering them. 4 stars for Farmacy. read more

First time visit. Located in the heart of downtown Bakersfield. Walking in through the door in H street, I was a little thrown off as to which area was the restaurant. Initially you will see a sit down dining area and as you venture further you will see a sign that will direct you to the Farmacy side. Both restaurants are connected although called different names. The Farmacy side is more grab and go however you can sit and dine. Brimstone side is sit down dining with a waiter/waitress. The gentleman at the counter (Christian) was very nice and informative. I placed our orders and had a seat. There was ample amount of seating in the small cafe. Our drinks were made and I just say although the matcha is the sweetened kind the latte was delicious. The tables are kind of cafeteria hardwood style as well as the seats. Our table was a bit unstable which made us guzzle a bit of out beverages so they wouldn't spill over. The ceiling are was a nice touch. Finally our food arrived served by a nice young lady who said we ordered her favorites. I am so glad that my husband enjoyed his food. He ordered the chicken and waffles. It looked delicious I had been wanting one of my favs chilaquiles. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience. The taste was not there. The sauce was like it was poured straight from the can. I told my husband it's missing something. Then we noticed no onions the only cilantro was the sprig in top. I then retreated back to the menu just to make sure and that's when I noticed most of the ingredients that make it more than eggs and chips were missing. I informed the young lady who brought our food and she offered the menu to try something else. I figured I'd play it safe and order the avocado smash. This was delicious. The toast was a bit blackened on the edges so I cut them off. There was a little too much taste of salt sprinkled on top but overall the creaminess of the avocado was great. The smash also comes with grapes. Although the substitute was less in price no adjustments were made. I forgot to mention you pay first at the Farmacy side which is fine but in a case like this umm idk if I like it. The manager did come by to offer his apologies and he said he did taste the sauce and it was missing some ingredients that needed to be cooked in and they were making the proper adjustments. So awesome to have someone own it (how else do we learn right) The staff, the location, the cleanliness was great! I may give them another try in the future read more

I was a little disappointed eating here. The service was amazing and the ambiance was lovely. We sat right next to the big fire pit. Our coffees were really good but I was really disappointed in the breakfast burrito. It was wet like the eggs weren't cooked all the way. It definitely wasn't the best breakfast burrito I've had. My nana enjoyed her protein burrito and my 16 month old love the side of fruit. Would come back for coffee but I don't know if I would order food again. read more

Following an excellent dinner at Brimstone, we decided to check out Farmacy the next day for brunch. I thought we'd be dining inside Brimstone, but brunch is at Farmacy, which is styled more like a quick service cafe. You order at the front, and everything else (napkins, utensils, jelly, condiments, etc.) is all self serve. My partner ordered a spiked coffee, and I got the dirty chai. The boozy coffee was only $8 for a really generous amount. And I enjoyed my drink as well. We decided to share the Breakfast plate, with an additional order of chorizo sausage. The eggs, toast, and potatoes were nicely cooked. We asked for extra crispy potatoes, and they were exactly how I like them. The only disappointing part was the chorizo sausage, it was incredibly salty, to the point of being inedible for us. I prefer my bacon thin and crispy, and the bacon at Farmhouse is thicker cut, almost a little chewy. But my partner seemed to enjoy it. Overall, I think I prefer dining at the Padre for lunch/dinner. But I'd could probably be lured back if they update their brunch menu. read more

Two or three. Firstly, this place is dope. the ambience def has me wanting to stay at the hotel. The breakfast burrito slays. Really fantastic. Minus two solid starts because the coffee is total shit. Like reheated burned bad. And maybe a quarter of a star because the delicious burrito is a wet burrito that you can't eat on the run but thats a very circumstantial preference. So, go for breakfast, BYOCoffee and sit down to eat. read more

I came in to get some tea and opted for the iced tropical green tea . I placed my order and sat on the cutest chair ever to wait for my order to be called . I waited about five minutes and picked up my tea. The tea itself tasted good , I could taste hints of tropical fruit I just can't place exactly which. My only minor gripe is that I guess it took to long for me to drink my drink and the paper straw got soggy on me and started collapsing on itself . Other than that I really enjoy the Farmacy, and look forward to visiting again . read more

We got greeted and seated within a few minutes. Our waitress was quick to bring our beverages out and within a few minutes we had already decided what we wanted to order. Our food came out in a timely manner. Menu options were limited but we all found something we wanted to eat. Overall great experience. $$$$ was reasonable read more

I was staying at the Padre Hotel and decided to have breakfast downstairs at Farmacy before heading to Porterville. I was unsure it you were waited on or if you ordered first then the food followed, so I ordered first at the counter. I ordered the chillaquilles and an iced chai latte. The chillaquilles were really good, so much cheese melted and the sauce added the perfect touch. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. There is a lot of seating in the bar/restaurant area where there is also a billiard table or you can sit in the lobby of the Farmacy cafe area there is a cute couch and a few tables on the side. read more

Finally got a chance to check this place out today and it was really nice! The decor inside was fancy schmancy and really cute!! Love the wall art as they support other local businesses. There were wall art of the Fox Theater, Wool Growers, The Padre Hotel, and many other businesses posted on their walls. I didn't know what to order because this was my first time checking the place out and I asked the lady at the counter for any recommendation. I wanted to check out the iced white chocolate mocha, but if she recommended anything else or if she thought something else was good. She said she usually puts a splash of hazelnut in hers and so I told her "let's do it!". The coffee was really good! It wasn't too strong nor was it too weak. It had the right amount of caffeine and the taste was great!! I also got a side of the snicker doodle muffin which was delicious! I don't like when muffins are overly sweetened and this muffin was just right! I noticed they have a menu for brunch and other Yelpers posted great looking food, so I definitely want to come back to check that out! Workers were very friendly and the atmosphere was really nice. They have cute sofas to lounge on and enjoy your coffee w whoever you come w. They had music playing from next door as I believe it's attached to the padre hotel, but it was not at all overwhelming since it wasn't loud at all. You definitely should check this coffee shop out! read more

Farmacy - Rojo Chilaquiles - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bakersfield, California

One of the few places in Bakersfield where you can get a "hip" brunch, it serves some cool dishes as part of a nice, contemporary downtown hotel. FYI, their menu changes throughout the day, so it can often overlap and can include some things and exclude others at hours that are kind of confusing for me (breakfast menu, brunch menu, lunch menu... etc). I ended up coming in and then returning an hour later just so I can try their chicken and waffles, which was served later in the day. The chicken and waffles were enjoyable, but I don't think good enough to justify the $14. The batter on the chicken had a nice herbal fragrance (rosemary I think), but the actual meat was dried out. Waffles were good, nothing special --- I did enjoy their maple syrup and whipped butter, for what its worth. I've also had their "Johnny Cake Skillet" (see image), which was something new to me. The two (small) slices of pork were amazing --- super crispy skin and very fatty, savory pork belly. This was served atop what amounted to be sort of like cornbread baked in a shallow pan to resemble a thick pancake(?). There was a nice crust and I thought it was well done. Cool to try and filling enough with the 2 eggs and potatoes. In terms of vibe, you can eat at the cafe or even at the bar across the hallway; a number is given to you at the counter when you order and they bring the food out. The seating by the window was kind of awkward for me and I ended up moving... the stools were way too tall for the tables here and you end up stooping over if you are trying to eat something. Prices are also a bit high. Overall, food was what I expected for a hip, downtown hotel. IMO, I think there's more value in going to Cafe Smitten a few blocks away for brunch instead. read more

I spent a good amount of money on breakfast for two and one of the meals was lovely but the $14 Acai Bowl was not really etible. I had a couple bites a d threw away.

This place is not like usual hotel breakfast restaurants. It is amazing with scones from the local Cornerstone Bakery and in house made bread for the toast. Both were delicious. The breakfast sandwich has a generous amount of eggs and the avocado toast is great too! Fresh fruit with both meals. Both are made on the house made bread by their baker. All types of hot and iced morning drinks are available. I highly recommend this place!! read more
