    The Stack Wrap
    John H.

    Stacks is a great place to meet because it's right in the middle. My wife was coming from the west I was coming from the east, and Stacks was right off the 99 freeway. We split the avocado BLT sandwich with fries. Service was quick. It's an ample size to plate and it satisfied us both. It was a beautiful day to sit outside. This is a great friendly neighborhood diner. That's perfect for a quick meal.

    I met 4 of my friends here for breakfast & right away, the restaurant was busy at 9:00 on a Saturday. That's how you know it's good. By the time we left, there were several parties waiting to be seated. I love the options & variety on the menu! My friends ordered a ham & cheese omelette, Santa Fe stack, chile verde stack, sides of tomatoes & pancakes (I forgot to take a pic of the pancakes) & I got the eggs Benedict. Everyone loved their food & ate their whole plates. I do have to say that the eggs Benedict were perfectly cooked & packed with rich flavor. I was also able to substitute my potatoes with fruit without an up charge, which is always good in my book! They also accommodated my fruit allergy & removed the melons for me. Such a simple gesture that truly makes all the difference. I also loved their coffee! Everything was reasonably priced! I paid $20 for my meal & coffee. The reason I gave 4 stars is because the service was slow. Our server was Angie & she was wonderful! She was friendly, we made good conversation & she was wonderful about accommodating my allergy, as well an ensuring I got my coffee refills! It was slow when we were waiting to pay. We waited at our table for about 20 minutes with our checks & cards ready. Eventually we all paid using the QR code, which is fine but it would've been better to communicate that they prefer us to pay that way & that they will not take our payment for us at the table. Maybe that's not their protocol & they were simply busy but communication was lost. Other than that, the food was great. I loved it!

    I would give it a 3.5 starts, not quite 4. Food took a little long to make, and bland- at that! Needed a little more flavor. Salt and pepper wasn't on the table, so I grabbed it from another one across from us. I asked for Tajín rims on our mimosas, didn't get that. Perhaps I'll go another time for redemption, but not anytime soon.

    Jessica was a great friendly server! Food is great & mimosas are even better! Will be recommending family to stacks cafe. 10 out of 10

    Simply put, Stack's Cafe is a delightful eatery. It is very spacious with excellent lighting and quirky decor. We arrived at 11 this morning and nearly all the tables were occupied. We were seated to the right of the front door. It wasn't the ideal space because each time the door opened and it opened a lot while we sat there, there was a gust of cold wind. Our server was very attentive and apologetic (for the delays). As for the food, every dish was made with love and nuanced with care. We cannot wait to return.

    Nice, clean, new restaurant with updated local photos on walls with a standard cafe vibe playing new country music. Waitress was well informed of menu and provided wonderful customer service. She let me sample the chile verde prior to ordering. The chile verde had a nice little kick and tastes great. We accidentally left my daughter's water wipes on table and another waitress ran out to our truck to our truck to quickly return. I wish I remembered our waitress name as I would have mentioned it. If she reads...thank you very much for taking care of us.

    Came in the during the week to meet for breakfast. There was plenty of parking available. The restaurant is cozy and welcoming and the bathroom was clean. Our server told us they're known for the chile verde, so a couple of us at the table ordered the chile verde stack and omelet. I did try the chile verde stack and it was delicious. The portion size was more than enough for 1 person. My wife and I could probably share the stack and feel satisfied. I ordered a burger since I already ate breakfast that morning, plus I enjoy trying burgers at different places around town.The burger and fries was good, although not my favorite in Bakersfield. Our server was nice. I'd still recommend this spot for breakfast.

    It's our first time here & we loved the waffles! The food looks delicious & presentable. We'd definitely come back here.

    It was our first time here & we loved it. We were looking forward to ordering the waffles & they did not disappoint. Our server was incredibly friendly, & attentive. We're definitely coming back.

    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.

They also had free WiFi & since it's near the university, it's popping with college students working on their laptops. I absolutely love the variety of items to eat & drink! I got the Dubai chocolate, manakeesh, mint mango smoothie (seasonal for Ramadan, not a permanent item) & a Vimto refresher. I've never had Dubai chocolate before but I am STOKED I had it here for the first time. Perfect size, perfect crispy texture & powerful flavor. I love that the pistachio isn't overwhelming. The manakeesh is my all time favorite. Flatbread with white melted cheese & the perfect seasonings. It's embarrassing how quick I ate it. I can't savor it because it's THAT GOOD!! Only $3!!! The Vimto refresher is my absolute favorite new drink. It has sparkling water with berries. Chefs kiss. I know it's going to hit hard in the summer when I'm needing a cold drink. The mint mango smoothie is PHENOMENAL! The balance of mint & mango is just right. I hope they keep this item around. The service was also wonderful. Kind baristas that are knowledgeable & definitely hard workers! They are a very busy business & they handle it with ease. One thing I do not care for (but it will not affect negatively on my review) is credit card payments. Your subtotal they tell you after you order is only if you pay cash. If you pay card, it is atomically more because of credit card charges but they do not say that. It will also reflect an even higher amount on the screen because it automatically adds 20% gratuity to your credit card charge. So it goes from one price, to another, to another. I always tip but if it's not a restaurant, it will typically be 10%. Be aware of the charges when you go. I absolutely love this spot. I can't wait to try new drinks & food!

The space is actually one of their biggest strengths there's a lot of seating, plenty of room to bring your laptop and work remotely, and areas where people can gather. It's also connected to a church, so it definitely leans into that community-centered atmosphere. Unfortunately, after going back 3-4 times hoping my experience would improve, the coffee has been consistently disappointing. It tastes burnt and weak at the same time like warm water with sugar. There barely seems to be any real espresso in the drinks. On more than one occasion, I've taken several sips hoping it would get better... and ended up throwing the whole drink away because it was just that bad. That's honestly frustrating, especially when you're paying for specialty coffee. The only drink I've actually enjoyed there is the pumpkin spice latte, that one was solid.

I took a short hiatus for a bit because I had a bad experience with one of the baristas being a bit short / rude lol, but thank you to Brandon for being so bright / helpful after I asked so many questions! I was able to make a decision pretty quickly after he allowed me to try a small sample of the tiramisu foam top. If you're somebody who likes the drinks pretty sweet, I would recommend getting a higher level of sweetness bc again, the coffee is pretty strong / bitter (just how I like it, personally).

Came here on a Sunday at noon & it was packed!! I decided to order the Moroccan eggs & an Irish iced latte. The eggs were BOMB!! The garnishes that came with the eggs, along with the sourdough bread was the chefs kiss. It does come on an extremely hot skillet that I kept accidentally grazing so I would say a small adjustment could be to put it in a bowl to serve instead of a metal skillet. The Irish latte was good, had a lot of cinnamon but it definitely had a great amount of caffeine. The menu is simple & that's something I truly admire in an establishment. Their desserts looked SO GOOD. I'll have to come by another time to try it. The only downfall to this visit was the air was uncomfortably warm & stifling. It was in the lows 90's outside & it felt just like that inside.
