The menu of items to choose from is simple, easy to read, and not over worded with too many items to choose from. It makes making a decision that much easier. From the stuffed cookies and dirty sodas, to the Portuguese/Hispanic inspired meals & sandwiches, you honestly can't make a bad decision. Service is great! The staff are really sweet, personable and fun to talk with when they're not busy. I love that they kept the same seating arrangement, more or less, from what Moo Creamery had in there and changed the paint color and decor to liven up the place. It's now bright with simple, yet cute decor. Looking forward to my cinnamon roll for work. They're big enough for two people, if you want to share, but if it's that good, why would you? Lol. They're with a brown-butter swirl, with a cream-cheese glaze, and the dough is Hokkaido-soft (light, pillowy, and has cloud-like texture). Hoping my husband shares his biscoff, brown butter stuffed cookie.
Love coming to local restaurants and enjoying the food. The mixture of flavors is always delicious. The sausage peppers is one of my favorites and I enjoy eating it to the rice is just tender and rice. They had a hamburger along brought some friends that were out of town always a good place. I appreciate the family connection to Bakersfield as well as the service. The restaurant still has the same looking feel of the move creamery restaurant, but it definitely shows its own personality now always gotta try that Italian ice here. It is so smooth and creamy and delicious and refreshing although they're soft servers are also a work out. Never a dull moment. The service is always friendly and enjoyable. I'd recommend this place for anyone who's visiting town or want to bring in someone to share some authentic Bakersfield love
We were greeted at the counter right away and placed orders for take out. They have online ordering for takeout too but the full menu wasn't available that way so we went in. The restaurant is very clean and decorated so cute! I could barely finish half of my sandwich, it had candied jalapeños and some kind of peach or fruit. The chicken was really juicy. It was kind of a messy eat but I couldn't eat the bun so that's my fault!
Dropped in for lunch last week after hearing about this place for the first time. I went for a Cubano and of course I had to try one of their cookies, I went for the red velvet. The Cubano and fries were delicious! There was plenty of meat and cheese and the flavors were excellent. The fries were hot and crispy and were the perfect addition to the sandwich. The cookie was a bit of a miss for me, it was just too sweet. The cream stuffed into the cookie was overload, I just couldn't finish it and I rarely find things too sweet. Overall though a great experience and I'll definitely be back to try some more of their menu.
My friends and I headed to Magnolia's Kitchen to celebrate life! Upon arrival the place was super cute, clean, friendly staff; and all-around good vibes. The menu may be small, but it's MIGHTY! Of course, the Magnolia cookies are a must! I grabbed the S'mores Chocolate Cookie; it was everything I imagined and much, much more! I also had the Cubano sandwich with a side of the crispiest fries. Everything was delicious! My friends ordered the Magnolia Burger and raved about how tasty the burger was! I almost forgot to mention I also ordered the Lia's Lemonade (strawberry) and ohhhh, eeeeee! It was SOOOOO good! SOOOO sweet, and SOOOO refreshing, and served in the giant container SOOO GOOOD!!!!
Magnolia Kitchen staff was the nicest and friendliest! The cronut was amazing! I do want to mention that we went over for the cookies my wife saw all over social media but they were out and I also asked for the hotdogs and they were also out of them, it wasnt off to a great start. I ended up with a patty melt per the cashier recommendation but it was honestly very bland. However the other 2 people in my party got hamburgers which where amazing they said! When we got our food we were missing a child drink and we asked for fruit as a side but we got fried but when she went up and asked the staff was very nice to my little niece and brought her her lemonaid and a bowl of blueberries. I'd without hesitation go back for the cronut and try a burger.
Visited this local establishment and tried their buffalo wings naked since my son does not like buffalo sauce. They came out hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. He loved them. We tried their morisqueta and the pork was tender and fall off the bone delicious. Definitely recommend. The loaded fries were also a hit and we cleaned it up. You have to try their dirt soda! We had ours with passion fruit and peach flavoring and it was so good. Give this place a try if you're in town.
My kids and I settled on trying out this new place that established after Moo Creamery was moved. We walked in NO ONE GREETED US, we stood there waiting to be seated NO ONE came. We sought out a table and took our seats, we waited for staff who saw us come in to approach, but again NO ONE did. Making eye contact with staff and waiting to be acknowledged was very upsetting, to the point where we sought out somewhere else to eat. We left here and headed out to COPES KNOTTY PINE on Norris Rd. If you enjoy being ignored I highly recommend this place, safe to say my family and I will not be returning for a second chance. If you're interested in trying out their cookies they have a cute little shop on the corner of Rosedale and Calloway.
After hearing Magnolia Kitchen had taken over the former Moo Creamery location, we were excited to give it a try. The space still has the same bright, welcoming setup as its predecessor. The ordering process has changed, though. You now order at the counter and are called back up when your food is ready. The staff were genuinely warm and friendly throughout our visit, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the service itself was incredibly slow and felt very disjointed. The restaurant didn't appear particularly busy, yet orders seemed to come out at random, and we repeatedly had to remind employees about items we were still waiting on. We ordered the patty melt with a side salad, the Cubano with fries, a Ferrero Rocher latte, and a strawberry lemonade. Growing up near Ybor City in Florida, I'm pretty well versed in Cuban sandwiches, so I know authentic Cuban bread is nearly impossible to find outside the state. I wasn't expecting that. But, I also wasn't expecting a sandwich absolutely drenched in butter before being pressed. The result was an incredibly greasy, overly salty sandwich that was also slathered with far too much mustard. The bread was so saturated that I couldn't enjoy it. Disappointedly, I ended up pulling out the pork, ham, and pickles with a fork and eating those on their own. The fries were another disappointment. Instead of being crisp, they were soggy, and the ketchup station didn't inspire much confidence. The bottles sitting out for customers were nearly empty. As for the ketchup, it had turned such a dark color that it looked old, making me question its freshness. The patty melt was much better. It had nicely caramelized onions, a juicy burger, and plenty of flavor. My only disappointment was that the menu advertises it on traditional marbled rye bread, but ours was served on sliced sourdough instead. It was still enjoyable, but it wasn't what was described on the menu. Maybe they ran out of rye bread and just didn't tell us and assumed it would be okay? The Ferrero Rocher latte also missed the mark for me. It tasted more like a hazelnut chocolate milk than a latte, with very little coffee flavor coming through. The biggest surprise of the meal was the strawberry lemonade. It was fantastic, made with freshly squeezed lemons and real strawberries, giving it a bright, fresh flavor that really stood out. Ironically, it was also the hardest item to receive. Despite ordering it with everything else, we had to remind the staff multiple times before it finally arrived about 30 minutes later. I really wanted to love Magnolia Kitchen because there are glimpses of what it could become. The friendly staff, excellent strawberry lemonade, and flavorful patty melt show promise. However, the painfully slow and disorganized service, menu substitutions without notice, soggy fries, and disappointing Cubano made this visit fall short. I hope they find their rhythm because the restaurant has potential, but there's still plenty to work on.
If you have not visited this gem don't hesitate. Delicious food, bright happy atmosphere, super friendly staff and delicious food in huge quantities! We visited on a Friday evening and chose as our mains their fried chicken special. Huge plate of food; with a side salad and iced tea or lemonade included!!! For $16.99. What?!? We also had to try as a shared appetizer the fried red tomatoes. Yum with their (homemade?) side of ranch. 3 leftover containers later we stumbled out, so full but happy. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes. If that isn't enough to make you want to go there, consider this: they've opened up in the old Moo Creamery space on Truxton. Yay, a building being reused!
The food is delicious...I mean no seasoning needed delicious!! We stopped by after work to get some desserts and drinks a few weeks ago and decided we would come back to try their food. Did not disappoint!! Prices are more than fair and portions are large. Both times we have visited, the staff were friendly and accommodating. 10/10 highly recommend!!!
We came for dinner and it was such a great experience. I accidentally forgot to take a picture of the cheeseburger, but it was so good! I also asked them to heat up my cinnamon roll and it was AMAZING. The service is so efficient and helpful. Definitely going to come back!

Magnolia Kitchen has been one of my favorite spots since they were on Rosedale Highway, and now that they've expanded into a full restaurant, they're even more incredible. You can see how much pride the family takes in their business, and every staff member is always so friendly and welcoming. We've been in for breakfast twice now and loved everything. They have the best biscuits and gravy in town! Their cookie butter lattes, and dirty sodas are some of my favorites. And stopping by for an Italian ice on a hot Bakersfield day is absolutely top tier. The vibe of the restaurant is really unique and they have fun themed nights! (50's night and 80's) their menu reflects the theme! read more

The ambiance was nice. I liked the picture, paint colors, and style (it was cute). The linguica was under flavored and tasted mainly like tomato, with the potato being hard to cut. I enjoyed the spice of the salsa (some chips were under cooked) and the rest of the food. The service could have been better. We had one in our group who never got water (even though it was asked for), they made a drink wrong, and they never checked in. Overall, I didn't mind the experience, they just have room for improvement! read more

The cinnamon roll was so good and MASSIVE -- definitely big enough to share between two people! I also really enjoyed the grilled cheese and Cubano sandwich. I just wish there was an option to add a side of tomato soup with the grilled cheese because that would be the perfect combo! Everything was comforting, filling, and hit the spot. I already can't wait to come back and try their Mango Sticky Rice drink and cookies! read more

Magnolia's Kitchen is such a gem! Family-owned. The storefront is adorable, and everything inside smells like pure happiness. I tried a few cookies -- and honestly, some of the best I've ever had (and I'm very picky about cookies). Perfectly chewy, rich, and just the right balance of sweet. I also had an iced banana coffee, which sounded adventurous but turned out decadent, creamy, and still packed a solid caffeine kick. Service was fast and friendly. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Bakersfield -- this place is an absolute treat! read more

They moved to a new location on truxton ave and the place is super clean, organized, and has a very cute retro diner decor. Hopefully the owners read this but please consider playing some 50s/60s into the playlist it will match the restaurant so well Staff was helpful and some needed a little more customer service training to uplift customers when ordering and not feel like we are bothering them when ordering. We know it probably wasn't meant like that but it seemed that way or someone else can take it that way. The owners of this establishment are very amazing and can take criticism which we love because that helps a business so much. The food is amazing chefs kiss we are excited to try more from the menu and the cookies are one of the best in town!!! They were sweet for giving one free since it wasn't fresh but that cookie tasted amazing and you can tell it's made from quality ingredients!! The only thing we didn't like was the lattes if u need a quick wake me up these would do but it's a personal preference for us that we aren't really a fan of torani syrup and felt like it lacked it a little flavor. Overall this establishment is very good and we recommend to check them out and give them try. Thank you for having us Magnolia kitchen read more

This place looks so good on Instagram and I finally got a chance to go and grab not one but three cinnamon rolls. It turned out that on the day I went to visit they were having a special where you could buy two for $6 or something like that. So greedy me ordered a standard cinnamon roll, an apple stuffed and a peach stuffed cinnamon roll. I happen to go on one of the hottest days in the week recently... And I went in the middle of the day... So naturally it was too hot to enjoy the cinnamon roll at the shop. The shop is quite cute, it's like a little house in a lot where there are other food stands on the corner of Rosedale and Coffee Road. The service was good. The staff was very friendly and attentive. So I grabbed my cinnamon rolls and decided to have a bite in my car. I tried the peach stuffed cinnamon roll first because I love peaches! The cinnamon roll texture was airy and fluffy. However, I felt it lacked a little bit of sweetness, it tasted more like bread, dough or biscuit dough that you pop open from a can. To my surprise, there was not very much peach stuffing so I was a little disappointed. The frosting was not my favorite either. While it was sweet, it also had a very tangy sour aftertaste. I'd rather have a cinnamon roll with Royal icing that is just poured over the top to set. I did not try the other two because other members of my household got to those before I could. However, they like them. I probably will go back to try some of their other products, their cookies looked amazing and they have all kinds of beverages that would probably hit the spot on a hot day. It's definitely something that's cute and fun and I would probably go back when I have people visiting me from out of town. Enjoy! read more
