Jasmine R.

Always come to this location, but honestly it's been a bit off lately. Today I went through the drive through to order my drink and just a pastry and the girl working the window just didn't give a good vibe or not even a smile. Then she charged me incorrectly with adding another pastry for some reason. It's weird because the other day I asked for the same two items and they didn't give a pastry at all.

My Jasmine's is the pink drink with heavy cream instead of coconut milk, pumps of vanilla syrup, light ice, blended Mine is the coffee

Inside is spacious and dimly lit. Cute little tables. Staff was quick and friendly. I didn't know if I could buy gift cards thru drive-thru, so I went inside for the first time. I got my usual coffee! I love Starbucks! Whether drive thru or inside, I've never had a bad experience!

I don't go to Starbucks often, so having Starbucks is a treat. I usually brew my coffee at home everyday, but during fall when they bring back the PSL/PSF I have to get my fix. This location is new and they just opened it up last year right before the HS was back in session. You would think this place would be a hot mess being right next to the HS and people are on the go heading to work, but this one is not too bad. This facility is clean and they are pretty fast. I have had an instance where my son decided last minute he wanted to stop here right before school and it was around 8:15am and he still made it in school on time right before the bell rang, so they do work quickly here. The lines are long sometimes, but don't be intimidated it does move quick. This location is super convenient for me and I'm happy they now have a Starbucks nearby. Just FYI, make sure to get the double smoked bacon sandwich. I would rather eat a breakfast sandwich at a Starbucks than any other fast food place. PS don't forget your extra shot!!!!

The water I got at Starbucks had floating particles in it--completely disgusting. On top of that, their new policy only gives you the smallest water unless you buy something first. It's a terrible way to treat customers and makes me want to switch to Coffee Bean down the street.

Brand new Starbucks in the South West side of town. This place is very clean. Drinks are consistently very good. Staff are so sweet and always happy. I love them all! I hope that they keep their energy, great service and high quality drinks/food.

I love this new location! I have been saying for years there needs to be one here, and it happened! The workers are friendly and nice. There was no wait because I think not a lot of people know about it yet. The store was clean and welcoming and there were plenty of seats. My iced Matcha green tea latte was delicious and my daughter loved her unicorn cake pop. This is my new favorite Starbucks!

This is my favorite Starbucks location currently. The drive thru lines aren't usually busy but if they are the baristas work quick and you'll be on your way shortly. The drinks are always made well and the food is always good. The workers in the drive thru love dogs, we bring in our pug and they're always happy to see him.

Went thru the drive thru this evening and staff was so friendly! They noticed my dog was with us and offered a pup cup, which she absolutely LOVED ! It's always so nice to have such great customer service these days as it is so hard to find! This is the best Starbucks in Bakersfield!!

Yes I know this is a chain and yes it's Starbucks but I love my caffeine. I also love the variety and ease of creating your perfect drink. This is the newest Starbucks in the SW and super close and convenient to my home and I love it. I'm not gonna lie there are several partners at this location that recognized me from the other nearby locations but it's good to see friendly faces. This location is clean, new, fresh, and simple like you would expect. There is several outdoor tables that are nice when our Bako heat isn't killing outside and lots of seating inside with several easy access points for charging devices while working. The partners here have always been friendly and welcoming greeting customers as they walk in. I've already been coming here for a few weeks and it isn't crazy busy but I suspect that come fall when school starts it will get crazy with the high school nearby so mobile ordering ahead will be essential. Kudos to the newest location! It's my favorite!

Stopped here randomly on a drive going up north…read more We ordered drinks as well as breakfast and we're surprised with how good everything was. We got a griller, grilled cheese, herbal tea and a cappuccino. The menu is great so much variety. You get your standard coffee you can get anywhere as well as specialty drinks which blows Starbucks out of the water. No competition. Service was good, customer service is exactly what you want. Very friendly baristas absolutely no complaints here. The vibe is really cool, I enjoyed the decor, there's a bunch of parking all around and plenty of seating for people as well. It is outside but it's covered. Would I be back, well if I'm on the road again sure why not. I much rather support a small unique business like this over a large corporation.

Customer service was great, the drinks were delicious and pricey nicely compared to big competitors. We got a strawberry breeze, a lumberjack a caramel latte and vanilla one both iced. They all were so good!! Definitely recommended if in the area. We also prefer to try every coffee shop we see esp those not big name brands and this one is top 3 for sure! Delicious and not too sweet to where you can still taste the good coffee. Will def be back if in area again.

Been coming here for years now and the Adeni Tea is hands down my favorite drink in town. I was…read morealready a milk tea kinda girlie in the boba universe, but this was the first beverage of theirs that I tried and it scratched a certain itch I'd been unconsciously craving. Something old-world maybe? Like a flavor that's existed for centuries and been passed down through time and so so many generations... and it's now landed in our corner of the world that's just a few blocks away? 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.

I was looking for a latte to keep me energized for my day supporting a charity event in town…read more Mokha Cafe came up as one of the top options and I saw a lovely review from my Yelp friend Bethany R. so I decided to give it a try. As I pulled up into the plaza, there was ample parking and the cafe was easy to find. They have a lot of cute tables inside, good for hanging out, studying, or getting some work done. There was also cute fall decor. Looking back at my photos now... I see a discrepancy in pricing for my Iced Pistachio Latte. The physical menu says $8 and the digital menu says $7... not sure what I paid for it because they didn't give me a receipt. I asked for it with Oat Milk, not sure if there are additional charges. On a positive note that iced pistachio latte was delicious, especially the sips with chunks of pistachio sauce. Yum. Wanting to support the small business I also got their Bitifour ($2) and the Baklava ($6). The bitifour was described as a butter shortbread cookie which I really like but this version was on the dry, not buttery, and not sweet enough side for a cookie. The baklava came with 2 pieces in one order. I liked the baklava a lot more than the bitifour. I really liked the pistachio latte but I have a hard time giving a business 5 stars when their pricing is fuzzy. I'm all for pricing changes and increase to adapt to business cost, but it's funny they went out of the way to update the physical menus and not the much easier digital menu.

Stopped by Smitten Cafe in Grand Island with my grandmother for a quick coffee after visiting the…read morefarmers market, and we were so pleased to see their fall menu was out! We each tried one of the daily coffee specials, a hot maple latte and a slice of their pistachio bread. What a perfect combination for a relaxing morning. The maple latte was truly comfort in a cup, warm, cozy, and full of fall flavor. The pistachio bread had just the right amount of sweetness and hit all the right spots. The service was excellent, quick, friendly, and always with a smile. Even though the line cue can look long, it never really feels that way because the staff keeps everything moving so efficiently. We were served in no time A major plus for me is that this location is right down the street from my home, making it so easy to pop in whenever I'm craving a good, tasty treat. It's the perfect neighborhood spot for a quick coffee, something sweet, and a little moment to relax. We left happy and already looking forward to coming back to try more from the fall menu!

Smitten is my go-to spot for a quick bite or a delicious cocktail! My top favorites are the Sweet…read moreWaffles (they come with matcha whipped cream--definitely ask for extra!), the Mushroom Fettuccine Pasta, and the Smitten Burger. While Smitten is technically known as a coffee shop, I personally think their cocktails steal the show. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and perfect for catching up with friends or enjoying a casual date. Staff is friendly and attentive. As a bonus, they even have live music on select nights, which makes the experience even more enjoyable!

Five O Two Cafe -- Downtown Bakersfield…read more A coffee flight worth slowing down for Walking into Five O Two Cafe is a little deceiving at first. The dark entrance can almost feel intimidating, but once you step inside, the entire personality of the place changes. The space has incredibly high, roughly 30-foot unfinished ceilings, dim rustic lighting, and almost an Italian-inspired feel. The music is upbeat but not overpowering, and the shared seating area with My Spot gives you plenty of room to settle in. There are comfortable loveseat-style couches, books, magazines, and games scattered around, making this a place where you could easily stay awhile instead of simply grabbing coffee and leaving. But the reason I came was the coffee flight. The presentation immediately made it feel like an actual tasting experience rather than simply four small cups of coffee. The coffees arrived together on a wooden board, each with information about its origin, along with sparkling water to cleanse the palate between tastings. I really appreciated that touch because these coffees were different enough that you wanted to reset before moving on to the next one. Pacamara The Pacamara was exceptionally bold but smooth. It had plenty of presence and flavor without becoming harsh or difficult to drink. This was the kind of coffee that reminds you that bold does not have to mean bitter. San Marcos, Guatemala The San Marcos was completely different. The milk may have been a little too much for me, making it harder to identify every individual flavor note, but this coffee went down exceptionally smooth. There was definitely a sweetness to the flavor profile. I couldn't quite put my finger on exactly what that sweetness reminded me of, but it was extremely pleasant. This is the coffee I could easily see becoming a daily drinker--smooth, approachable, and very easy to enjoy. Huehuetenango, Guatemala The Huehuetenango had a completely different mouthfeel. This coffee felt thick, almost chewable, but without any hesitation to keep drinking it. There was a cocoa-like appeal to it that gave the coffee richness and substance. Of the flight, this was one of the coffees where the texture itself became part of the experience. Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala This was my fourth and final tasting, and maybe that influenced me a little, but the Santiago Atitlán was the coffee I found the most complex and satisfying. There seemed to be more going on with every sip, and it made me want to slow down and pay attention to it. More importantly, this was the coffee that immediately created a picture in my head: a weekend morning, sitting on my patio with a freshly made pour-over and nowhere I need to be. That's probably the best compliment I can give a coffee. More than just the coffee Five O Two also struck me as an exceptionally good place for a first date--or maybe even better, a second date. Grab one of the cozy little loveseat couches, order a coffee flight for each of you, and you immediately have something to talk about. You can compare the different beans, figure out which flavors you're picking up, and discover what the other person likes. Combine that with the dim lighting, slightly romantic atmosphere, comfortable seating, and good music, and this becomes a place where you can actually sit, relax, talk, and get to know someone without feeling rushed. The food selection appears more limited than what you'd find at a full café, so I wouldn't necessarily come expecting a large breakfast or lunch menu. But that's also not really the point here. Coffee is the experience. And the flight makes that experience even better. Five O Two isn't the kind of coffee shop I'd want to rush through. It's the kind of place where I'd order something interesting, find a comfortable seat, and stay awhile. And after tasting all four coffees, that Santiago Atitlán would be the bag I'd be most tempted to take home for my weekend pour-overs.

This hidden Newark inside a shared downtown space…read more There is open seating. They have enough selections but not too many that you get lost in the pursuit of good coffee over powered by sugar if you know what I mean. They have a nice menu. Including a flight of coffees. I'll return for that. The coffee tastes great! Not overpowering or over roasted beans. The service was great the staff took time to answer questions and share what each flavor was. They have toast selections as well. We had the avocado toast with egg (boiled egg is the only option) and the chicken pesto which is like a chicken salad with pesto.great presentation with a little salad on the side. We had 2 lattes 2 toasts Total was $43 A little pricey Things to note. Coffee 6.50 we had sugar free vanilla extra .75 (1.50 for 2) They charge extra .75 for non dairy milk so that was an extra (1.50) If you take it as is you can knock off $3
