I guess they were sharing the place with another business as displays were kind of random. We've only tried two products and we didn't like them. Literally only had a bite and had to throw them away because they tasted so bad. We also got their cookies for dogs and even our dogs didn't want anything to do with them. I might give them another try in the future, but for now, it was definitely a NO.

After reading reviews I was definitely going in for the Cannoli and Scones..my favorite. I bought a box of 12 different bites of deliciousness. I had the absolute best Cannoli I've ever had. They ran out of the scones right before I got up to the counter .. but the gentleman in front of me who bought had said he was taking them to his wife who was ill. So that made me smile. I will try in my next visit! Lovely place...Lovely Customer Service.

I will say this for what I have had. I got their chocolate, toffee tarte and that was so good. It was so well balanced out. The cookie top paired so well with the luscious chocolate filling. Staff are also so helpful. They told me about the instagram page where they post about the pastries they have that morning. Once I figure out my sleep schedule, I'm going to make a point to try and get a box of their stuff!

I had no idea this locally owned coffee shop existed in Bakersfield until Yelp! There are even 3…read morelocations- one in downtown, on Panama Ln, and this one. I went twice to this location two days in a row because I enjoyed it so much. First with a friend and then I had to introduce it to my kids. The coffees and teas are delish and unique, as well as the smoothies and juices (I didn't try those but my kids loved them). We tried a variety of baked goods, the honeycomb bread is sooooo dang good! Filled with little pockets of cream cheese, drizzled with honey, and topped with toasted regular and black sesame seeds (I forgot to take a pic of this one, but I'll add it next time I go). We enjoyed all of the pastries we tried- not a crumb on our plates by the time we were finished! The decor is beautiful and unique. All of the employees super nice and helpful. You can ask them for descriptions or ask for a menu to see details and ingredients. They're open late too, so I think my next visit will be a GNO or a date with my hubby.

The cafe is located in a plaza with ample parking spots, and the employees I interacted with were polite and efficient. I ordered a Turkish coffee and thought it was a great version of the drink; it may have been small in size, but it had a potent flavor. There was a good amount of indoor seating, and I could see this cafe being a fine spot to linger in for a while.

Located on the corner of East Truxtun and Haley in East Bakersfield Emmanuel's Bakery is not the…read moresort of place seeking headlines, but for locals and passers-by in need of freshly baked Pan Dulce the family-owned space offers everything one might want at a fair price. Open at 4:30am daily for decades, neither the interior nor outside suggesting luxury, guests are invited to load their tray with tongs from either the plastic cases or freshly made trays ready to restock supplies until evening. Traditional in its offerings, Concha and Guava Empanadas both residing adjacent tricolor Cookies and Pastel, Emmanuel's Donuts are light and fluffy while choices like Orejas and Besos are better than what one might expect in an area with little competition. A proud part of the local community, staff exceedingly friendly even when English is limited, Flan and Tres Leches hide at the far left of a cold case but are certainly worth asking for as the latter offers an open Sponge with less sweet Sauce than most plus Fruits including Strawberries or Mandarin Oranges.

First of all, the cupcake toppings are cute! I like the lemon one. The choco cup cake is rich,…read more flavorful and not too sweet. The lemon raspberry as well it has a tangy flavor and not that sweet as well. I just wished they're alil bigger lol. They also have a tall bday cake- Neapolitan flavor (as I've told), i wasn't able to take a pic. They also have other baked goods like brownies. Overall, i might visit again if I need a specialized cake order.

Decided I wanted some cupcakes for a small celebration I was having so I placed an order over the…read morephone for half a dozen of cupcakes at Cornerstone since they just happened to have such awesome reviews and be down the street... I ordered the strawberry cupcakes, chocolate cupcakes and lemon cupcakes with raspberry frosting and filled with raspberry filling. In my opinion they should give information on their website about all the flavors they can do or at least a few flavor idea suggestions, because when I called them to place my order I asked what flavors they offered and she had to name them off one by one and began struggling a bit to remember them all, so it was awkward, time consuming and harder for me to remember everything she was naming this way and just made it harder to decide which ones I wanted to go with... I ended up just randomly picking the first three I remembered her naming. Lol Good picks though ! So all the cupcakes were moist, creamy/velvety and delicious! The frostings were not overly sweet and I thought they were the perfect size too. My only complaint was that the toppings on the strawberry and lemon ones were candy, not a fan of candy and it kinda made them look like they were for kids and they were not. ( Noticed from others pic's that the lemon cupcakes usually have a raspberry on top...) Anyways, excellent prices, great service and delicious cupcakes! Would definitely try them again!

I came in for the very first time to redeem my birthday freebie and was immediately impressed by how beautiful the shop was. The atmosphere felt so clean, cozy, and welcoming with such a fun vibe all around. As it started getting busy, the workers quickly organized everyone into a line which made the process smooth and efficient. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait long before it was my turn, and I had the pleasure of being helped by Brittany. She was absolutely lovely, super friendly, and incredibly helpful! I genuinely enjoyed chatting with her during my visit and really appreciated all of her recommendations. A1 customer service for sure -- she truly made the experience even better, so I definitely wanted to give her a special shoutout! Even though my visit was brief, I still enjoyed it so much and could already see myself coming back again. For my birthday freebie, I chose the carrot cake flavor and it was delicious! While I was there, I also picked up the cutest sparkler candle. They had so many adorable candles, packaging options, and little extras throughout the store that made everything feel extra festive and gift-worthy. Overall, I loved the vibes here and had such a positive first experience. Definitely looking forward to coming back one day for another sweet treat!
