    The baked goods case.
    Elissa V.

    I ordered a pistachio latte, per the cashier's recommendation and it did not disappoint. It truly tasted of real pistachio (unlike Starbucks' very fake tasting pistachio latte). I will definitely drive across town to have this latte and have some of their other drinks and food items. The atmosphere is casual with a giant (approximately 100") TV for watching sports. The restroom was dirty, and I loathe dirty restrooms, that's the primary reason for 4 stars. Overall, I recommend them and will return, just not with a full bladder.

    I really liked this place. It was my first time visiting, and I had heard that their pistachio latte was really good. I'm not a big pistachio person myself, so I ordered a caramel macchiato instead. After trying a sip of my friend's pistachio latte, I was pleasantly surprised--it was actually quite good. That said, I absolutely loved my caramel macchiato. It was flavorful, creamy, and exactly how I like my coffee. The cafe itself is neat, well-decorated, and very clean, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a drink. The service was friendly as well. Overall, I had a great first experience and would definitely come back.

    Where do I even begin? I have become obsessed with Mokhamena. I am at either location at least once a week. I didn't even really drink coffee, but Mokhamena changed everything for me. Just as the ports of Yemen brought coffee to the world, this Yemeni coffee shop has brought coffee into my life. And let me just say, it is tough to try other coffee spots, as they have trouble stacking up to the high bar Mokhamena has set. I am all about their Saudi coffee. I can't get enough. It's super tasty and always gets me ready to take on the day in stride. This location recently launched a bagel menu, and they're all very good! The falafel bagel is the stand out and my personal favorite. Mokhamena is actually the first women-owned Yemeni cafe in the entire US! This is their second location, and both locations are right here in Bakersfield. I also love this location for working remotely. It is super spacious, the tables are large, and their whole back wall is lined with outlets for easy charging. My favorite is when I can grab a 32 oz large pot of Saudi coffee with a candle underneath, and sit for a couple hours working and sipping away.

    Pink Splash Refresher

    I went in and ordered this today. Oh wow so good. The word Refresher is exactly what it is. Great flavor very suttle flavors, lightly sweet. I was very satisfied with this choice on a hot day. So if youve not gone in to try some of the tasty food or grab a good coffee which Ive had before or get a Refresher like I did this time this is a great place. Everyone is super friendly its a relaxed atmosphere. Always clean and there is nice seating inside or out. Help support this local business.

    We came back to try a berry matcha. It was a little too sweet for me, although my wife loved it. I saw a promotion for their happy hour and it sounds like a great deal.

    We had a wonderful experience at Mokhamena- the inside is beautiful, the food displays are well lit, clean and stylish. The music in the background is really nice & there are bits of history paying homage and respect to Yemen. We have never had an opportunity to experience Yemeni fare and we're excited. So excited, we tried just about everything edible. Staff were friendly, helped with descriptions and pronunciation- and offered suggestions on which drink to try. We tried the Adeni Tea, Mufawaar and Turkish coffee. The Adeni tea is subtle and light. The Mufawaar coffee, is also subtle but flavorful, in a nice way. The spices are not overwhelming. The Turkish coffee is, as expected, strong- served with a whole date and we understood why. Even though it's strong, it's delicious. For the food- Ma'amoul cookie was nice. A thick shortbread cookie a date paste filling that wasn't overpowering. We were able to meet the owner, who was very welcoming and chatted with us. She gave us a slice of cheese Kunafa, that I have been eager to try. She said she just got the machine in that ensures it's perfect, every time. Probably the most delicious bite of the day. It tasted like a sweet, slightly crunchy cornbread full of melted mozzarella. I actually did a happy jig in my seat. Thank you for offering this experience, cheese Kunafa, and conversation. I hope you continue to thrive. I will post another review about the entirety of the purchases and that experience.

    Had a good experience at Mokhamena! Everything I had was delightful. I had one of their seasonal lattes (snickerdoodle), ma'amoul which is a crumbly cookie filled with a light chewy date filling, and the manakeesh which was like a savory bread. Their pastries were light and tasty and the latte was not overly sweet. Everything was conveniently priced and service was efficient as well. The space itself is spacious whether you come to do some work (they have WiFi) or if you come with a few friends for some tea/ coffee and pastries.

    What an absolute gem! This Yemeni coffee shop is beautiful, spacious, and has both indoor and outdoor seating, which makes it such a relaxing place to enjoy your coffee. The pastries are incredible -- the Dubai chocolate muffins, croissants, baklava, butter cookies, and more are all fresh and delicious. The menu is extensive with so many drink options and an impressive variety of syrups to choose from. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and informative, which made the experience even better. I feel so lucky to have tried this place since it's pretty far from where we live. If it were closer, I'd be here all the time. Truly a 5/5 experience -- highly recommend!

    Carmel machiatto & pistachio matcha
    Shana W.

    First time here and it's super cute inside. The girl who helped us today was really friendly and helped us pick out drinks. Everything came up quickly. The caramel macchiato was spot on, not too sweet not too strong but still had a good coffee flavor. Their espresso beans are really good! The pistachio matcha latte was good but not amazing, it had a decent flavor but it was too sweet for my liking, I would order it half sweet next time. Overall good experience & will be back to try more menu items. Also they have a bunch of flavors for their drinks! They have all their syrup flavors listed on the counter!

    First time trying this place and had to get a variety of goodies! My boyfriend got an iced pistachio latte and he absolutely loved it! We then got an order of baklava, cheese danish, and bitifour! The kind cashier gifted us a ma'amoul and everything was delicious! Sadly didn't get a picture of the cheese danish and the baklava but will be coming back so next time!

    Mokhamena is an amazing cafe with great drinks & sweet treats. The employees are always friendly & welcoming, happy to answer any questions about the menu or make a recommendation. I absolutely love getting their matcha; they really know how to make matcha. I would say it is some of the best matcha in town! Their baklava is also super delicious. I frequently see people studying or just hanging out in the space. There is also always good music playing, which I appreciate. The place is decorated in a cute & aesthetic way, but my only complaint is the bright fluorescent lights, which throw everything off in my opinion. In the daytime, it does not matter too much because of all the natural sunlight that enters through the windows, but at night, I think they are too bright. Overall, I think Mokhamena is top tier! Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Overall: 9/10

    Pistachio late and the little one
    Philip S.

    I really like this place. Every time I want to hit star bucks I come here instead. The drinks are top notch. The snacks are great. The service is really good too. And the vibe is unmatched. I probably will come by tomorrow because the drinks are just that good! My personal favorite is the pistachio late hot but maybe I'll try it cold. Either way I'm home to enjoy my drink, service, and snack.

    Great coffee. Saturday they were slammed and it took a while to get my coffee. Outside cute little patio with 6- 4 top tables. Inside is noisy with lots of solid surfaces. Watching the bar where they were filling ordes had multiple people, I believe if they had 2 with someone directing it would speed up the orders. They have the Dubai chocolate strawberries in a cup for $15.

It took a while to be approached by the staff and then luckily seated quickly because a table was miraculously open. But after that we rarely saw our waitress. Long waits in between ordering, receiving food, receiving check etc It was decorated lightly for Harry Potter over its regular decor which was confusing, but the waitress said the owner loved Harry Potter and it was his birthday. Can't argue with that, pop off dude. The food itself was good. I had a latte and a breakfast burrito with chile verde and fruit pancakes. The chile verde was the best part of the meal. Everything else was pretty average and typical for breakfast food. I did like their extensive menu and Mexican American flavors, it was a fun touch.

Globalization and the world within, for f' sakes! This place is truly brilliant. More recently, I'm only in town a few days out of the week, but I make a point to visit this location or their other location, Mokhamena on Panama, each day I'm here to, at a minimum, pick up two for myself--the first one is to function and the second is to savor. There was a time I'd pick up the party-size for my coworkers when I liked them... but alas, times have changed so more for me. The staff there are always friendly and awesome, and on days that I'm lucky enough, I get to actually enjoy the cafe. So grateful you guys are here and sharing flavors from across the world.

Food-wise, the Peruvian grilled cheese sandwich was flavorful and well made, but I'd recommend asking for the sauce on the side unless you enjoy a messy sandwich. The ham and cheese croffel had great flavor, but it was a little light on the ham and cheese. I think the cropples are better suited in the sweet variety as they seem small incompressants to a ham and cheese croissant someone would purchase for about half that price. In my opinion, it was more of a kid's snack than a meal and not quite worth the price, if you're actually hungry I would go with something else off the menu. Everything was made fresh , you must be patient here , perfection can be slower than your metabolism, so dont go there hangry. During my visit, Hector explained that he envisions Uncharted Adventures as a gathering place for the community. The business frequently hosts weekend vendor markets and local running clubs. Hector also shared he was creating a dedicated Memorial Day wall honoring local veterans, first responders, and teachers, while also working on an outdoor eating area.
