    This place was good. It was our first time trying this spot and it was okay. I did feel the food was a bit on the pricier side for a cafe but none the less we enjoyed it.

    Wow!!!! A brunch gem on California Ave A PERFECT place to have a great meal with family and friends. They serve great good and service always came with a smile. They were so kind to make suggestions and kept my coffee mug full. I would definitely come back with my family and try the bacon waffle ...

    Classic French toast

    Overall food had no flavor. Service was mid however it was a busy Sunday morning. Mimosa was underwhelming.

    The Stack Wrap

    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.

    Spicy Chicken Sandwich

    Went in on a Monday afternoon for lunch. Staff service was quick and friendly. My favorite food is their breakfast options. The spicy chicken sandwhich was good, it was the average chicken sand which. I have a low spice tolerance and was perfectly fine. The redwood club sandwhich was also good, bacon was cooked crispy and the avocado was fresh. I will say, the chicken could use more flavor. Soft drinks were good and the side of fries and onion rings were delicious.

    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!

    Mimosa Flight

    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.

    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.

    Chile Verde Omelette
    Michelle M.

    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.

    Chile Verde Omelette
    Yvonne B.

    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.

    Berry French toast

    Amazing food, service, and all around environment We consistently come back and the food has never disappointed Yessica was our server this time and did a wonderful job

    Everything we tried was super good! Would go back again, would love to try different things. We were seated right away, parking was good.

    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.

Our waitress was very sweet and friendly, but it seemed like she could use a little more training or help staying organized. We waited quite a while just to place our order. Meanwhile, two tables that were seated after us had already ordered, received their food, and were eating while we were still waiting. The experience was disappointing, but I hope the service improves because the food was definitely worth coming back for.

The vibes in the new space are absolutely immaculate. There is so much more energy here, and the decorations are incredibly cute. It's the perfect backdrop for a killer meal. The Main Event: This time around, I went with the En Fuego Burger. This beast is loaded with a chile-spiced beef patty, pepperjack, sharp cheddar, thick-cut bacon, chipotle mayo, pepper relish, pickled jalapeños, and a mountain of fried jalapeños + onion strings. The Flavor Profile: This burger delivers on every level, but those fried onion strings were to die for. For the side, I got the sweet potato fries, which are served as big, thick-cut wedges. They come paired with a duo of spicy ketchup and a marshmallow dipping sauce. Switching between the two was amazing, the marshmallow sauce actually makes the fries feel like a dessert. The Drink: To wash it all down, I ordered the basil lemonade, and omg, I need to figure out how to recreate this at home. It's exactly what it sounds like, crisp, refreshing lemonade with a perfect herbal basil finish. The Verdict: If you loved their old spot, the new location takes everything to the next level. Between the upgraded atmosphere, the dessert-like fries, and that refreshing lemonade, I will absolutely be coming back here again and again.

The second was almond butter and banana with cocoa nibs, honey, and cinnamon. The third was Nutella and hazelnuts topped with strawberries and coconut flakes. They were all delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Nutella and hazelnut toast. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the variety made it fun to share and try different combinations. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is a cute cafe vibe. You place order at the counter and someone brings your order to your table. Smitten is definitely a must-visit spot when downtown for breakfast.

    SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.

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. I did like their extensive menu and Mexican American flavors, it was a fun touch. I'm not sure I'll be back on a weekend, not worth the hassle.
