Love this place! I don't come here enough, but occasionally I make my way out here. I highly recommend this place for breakfast/brunch. Every time I have visited during brunch hours they were not that busy, I noticed that towards lunch time it gets pretty busy, so if you're curious about this place then I think the best time is around 9am-1pm ish from my experience. I didn't know how to feel when they transitioned Vita Vegan out since I had absolutely loved Vita Vegan, but so far the change has been great. Our whole office recently came to have lunch and staff was super friendly. Our server was very pleasant and we had no wait time; however, we came during lunch rush so it took a little time to get our food which is fine since our whole office came out together as a team. I don't have a favorite yet, but I have not had a bad experience. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious and they give large portions so you can have your leftovers later. Restroom was clean which is always a plus and is a good sign of a clean restaurant. If you haven't stopped by yet, this is your sign to go check them out! The prices are really good and not expensive, food is delicious, staff is great and the restaurant is clean! read more

Came in as a party of 2 for Easter Sunday and had such a great experience! Our server, Addison, was absolutely amazing--so friendly, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I ordered the spicy toast and it was top tier--so flavorful and definitely something I'd come back for! I also love that this place is locally owned, it makes the experience feel even more special. Highly recommend! read more

I went to District Cafe and it was kind of a mixed experience. The food was okay, nothing special. The service wasn't great though. We asked our waitress a few times to bring sauces to the table and she kept forgetting. By the time she finally brought them, we were already done eating, which was pretty frustrating. I will say the outdoor dining area is really nice. The vibe and setup outside are probably the best part of the place. Also, the restroom situation isn't the best. There's only one of each and they're always occupied, which gets annoying. I hate leaving bad reviews, but if this helps someone out, I hope it does. Overall, it looks nice, but the service definitely needs improvement. read more

The year is ending and I was in the mood to try something new. The location is easy to get to with plenty of parking. The interior decor is nice and trendy. It gives off a cozy feeling. They also offer plenty of outdoor, heated seating. Staff were nice and quickly seated us. I was so hungry and everything sounded really good. I opted for the chicken fried steak which includes eggs, potatoes, and biscuits and gravy. The order arrived quickly for how busy they were (Sunday morning). The food looked fresh and was still hot. Unfortunately, the breading on my steak (which is deep fried) was burnt in some places so that was not pleasant. The potatoes were mixed with various veggies and looked colorful, but tasted bland. Scrambled eggs were fine. The biscuits, however, were delicious! The gravy was hearty, had a great taste, and was also approved by my dining companion. They offer free coffee with any meal purchase which is nice and I don't remember seeing that at any restaurant before. Not the best tasting, but definitely not the worst. I may give The District Cafe another change in the future, as some of their other menu offerings sound good, on paper, anyway. read more

We had such a great experience at The District! The service was incredibly fast, friendly, and super accommodating from the moment we sat down. I ordered the Sarducci Club with a side of garlic fries and WOW... it takes a classic club sandwich to a whole new level. The chipotle aioli and honey mustard combo was amazing, and the garlic fries were SO GOOD My husband and dad both got the Bakersfield Omelette, which was very filling. My dad asked for his hashbrowns extra crispy, and while the omelette ended up a bit overcooked, once we let the waitress know she quickly had it fixed without any issues. Great customer service! My mom ordered the John Lewis, a keto-friendly burger, and she loved it. My brother got the chicken and waffles, and the portion was huge! Everything we tried was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. Overall, amazing food, generous portions, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great breakfast spot! Delicious Mexican style breakfast and brunch foods! We were greeted warmly and seated quickly and our server got us our drinks and took our order pretty fast. Very attentive. The interior is simple and the patio looks very nice. I ordered the Mexican breakfast burrito with fries. I was really impressed by the burrito. It was delicious and packed with meat. The egg was baked into the perimeter of the tortilla and then all the meat and goodies were in the center. Haven't had a burrito like that before. It was so flavorful and delicious! read more

This place has some unique offerings on their menu but most of them are Latin inspired. This time the huevos rancheros stuck out to me. The hubs decided to go with the steak and eggs. I enjoyed the tortilla and beans but I did not care for the potatoes. They were a little undercooked and lacked flavor. The hubs enjoyed his steak stating it had great flavor but he felt the same way about his hash browns as I felt about my country potatoes, stating they were bland and undercooked. This place has so many things I'd like to try that I will give it another shot. read more

Found another local favorite! I stopped by the District Cafe today and was so impressed. I ordered the pozole verde, and it was fantastic--the portion was a great size and the flavor was spot on. We also got the kids' breakfast plate, which was a hit and a really good value. The service was super fast, and the prices are very affordable for a family meal. If you're looking for a quick, delicious lunch or breakfast, this place is definitely worth a visit! read more

I've been wanting to try this place because i've seen some good reviews on it and it had a fun happy hour menu with a lot of food choices. We were a little disappointed unfortunately. We ordered the five for $20 items on the happy hours menu. All items are $5 but if you order five, you get one free. So we ordered two orders of the barbecue pork sliders.With fries, chili cheese dog, cheeseburger, and frito pie. There was a lot of food for the price which was good but even though the french fries were tasty, they were very cold, so was the chili dog the cheese wasn't even melted, the cheeseburger and the pork sliders were good and so was the frito pie. Our table was dirty we had to ask our waiter to clean the table. They have bogo, drink deals also during happy hours you get your second drink half off and the drinks are good size.. So if you're looking for an affordable, happy hour with good food choices I would recommend, just make sure your food is hot.If not send it back which I should have.But we were starving l o l. read more

Made it in for Happy Hour. Soo good. $5 specials including draft beers. We opted for the 5 for $20 deal. We each had a chili cheese dog and burger and shared garlic fries. Everything was very good. Poppy seed buns for the chili dogs are a great touch. Their chili has a nice pinto bean forward flavor that I enjoyed. Tender beef patty on the burger and nice garlic mince mix on the fries. Great deal all around and staff was friendly and welcoming. Love the open airy dining space that is clean and decorated nicely: Will be adding to our Happy Hour spot rotation. Thank you District Cafe. read more

Awesome burgers and fries. When you walk in your mouth will water because what's cooking in the kitchen smells great. This was my first time and I'll definitely be back. One of the specials today was chorizo biscuits and gravy with a side of potatoes. Unfortunately I had already ordered online and didn't want to hassle anyone by trying to change my order. The staff are all very friendly and you get the impression that they really like working there. Fresh made lemonade was very good. The fries were seasoned well and still crispy when I got to eat my food. The cheeseburger was a simple smash burger with lettuce tomato red onion and pickle which all came on the side. There was a thousand island type of dressing and it all came together to make an amazing taste. I'll have to come back. read more

Spoil your taste buds with the Smokehouse Sampler! This dinner for two includes: tri-tip, pulled pork, 2 hot links, mac, chili beans, fried corn on the cob and BBQ sauce, chipotle aoili, chimichurri sauce, pickles and 4 slices of Texas toast. Round that out with hibiscus tea! The staff is so welcoming and they checked on us several times, very friendly! All the food was delicious, but, the star of my plate was the mac. The pasta was al dente and the cheesy sauce was so creamy! read more

Service was great nothing too crazy, I had the option of sitting inside or outside which was nice! The food was honestly good just wished they had the biscuits to go with the gravy. Their cinnamon latte is really good as well, I hope next time I come they have biscuits so I can review the dish again! read more

Great place to have brunch. Especially if you're looking for a deal. Me and the wife go here regularly. Our favorite to order is the pick 5 for $20 deal. Soooo worth it. The food is always on point and the workers there have the best attitude. Always friendly, helpful, the check on you often. The place itself is nice, clean, not too loud unless you go when they are packed. Breakfast is amazing if you dont mind the line. Definitely recommend eating here. The crispy corn with the dipping sauce is a MUST. read more

Saw this spot on my TikTok and instagram so stopped to check it out. The tri tip sandwich was delicious that I came back the next day for another. My wife didn't want anything but when she tried the sandwich made me come back to get her one. The salad was very refreshing with the fresh strawberry and glazed nuts. Has a nice vibe and staff was friendly. Nice place to hang with some family and friends to watch the games. Has a nice patio area. Definitely give them a try won't disappoint read more

We went after church and although it was busy, got a table right away. Unfortunately, our waitress apparently did not turn in our order and we waited as she delivered food to those all around us who had been seated after us. When we finally got her attention from across the room, she waved at us and it seemed she was going to the kitchen to get our meals. As soon as she came out, without our food, we saw her go to the computer and input something. It was easily another 20 minutes before she came over and asked if we would like our salad. Neither of us had a salad coming with our meal and she didn't ask what salad dressing we'd like. We shrugged and she brought a side salad and two plates; never said she forgot the order just shrugged at us a lot. When the food came out, it was hot but pretty tasteless. My husband order fish and chips, it was a large helping but was covered in some kind of red seasoning that got all over everything. The fries were ok. I ordered the tri tip tacos with garlic fries. The two tacos were loaded with meat and avocado and a tiny bit of pico de gallo. They desperately needed salsa or some kind of sauce. The garlic fries were ok but not worth the $3 extra. She never came back to see if we needed anything. When she brought the bill, we asked if they gave Veterans discounts (my husband is a two tour Viet Name former Marine). She grabbed the bill back up and obliged us with the discount which we appreciated. All in all we won't go back. A great waitress can make even a mediocre meal tolerable, but a bad one with so so food pretty much seals the deal; especially at the prices we're paying. read more

Cute little diner with an earthy feel. They offer outdoor patio seating. The Cafe has a great assortment of brunch items on the menu. My favorite being the Mexican chilaquiles. They also serve up the best coffee beverages. Service is fabulous. Note, Prepare to have a short wait since it's a popular cafe in the Bakersfield area. read more

Got the special. Biscuits and chorizo gravy. Sounds like a good time. My biscuit to gravy ratio was off and it led to me trying to ration the gravy to help with the dry biscuits. Couldn't have a conversation because of the kitchen dishwasher guy was banging around dishes and spraying them with high soeed water. Can't be helped but its a weird design to have the dishwasher guy right next to the dining area. Bathroom was out of paper towels upon arrival. I alerted the wait staff when ordering water and about an hour later I went to wash my hands and the paper towels still were not refilled. The coffee was burnt and kept getting refilled when I wasn't ready. Messing up my ratios of creamer and sugar. I saw that coffee was free with purchase of an entree in other recent reviews but that is not the case anymore. Very slow service. Took about 40 minites to get food and the restaurant was at less than 50% capacity. Make sure your table has salt to help the chorizo gravy. I never thought I would need to add salt to chorizo anything. I have to go back to the lack of hand drying for over an hour. That is a health code violation. How are the employees properly washing their hands and returning to work? This is a very basic, customer facing safety violation. It just leads to more questions on if something as simple as a hand drying system is not in place what else is the staff being lazy with? I can only ask so many times for the waitress to do the legal health code right thing before reporting it. This is about food safety. If anyone has been sick after eating here please report it. You arent a jerk you are actually helping others be safe. Tldr: food in the ok range. Can't give any more stars because of Healthcare violation that was not corrected after an hour of me informing the staff. read more

I saw District share on their instagram @ thedistrictcafe that they'd be having vegan sushi selections on Wednesday nights so I went to try it out. We got the poke nachos which were very delicious I highly recommend them! They were full of flavor and the vegan salmon was amazing. We also tried the Vida rolls which were good as well. As for the vegan rolls we tried the Teriyaki, Firecracker, and Taki Taki. All of them tasted so good but my favorite out of the 3 was the teriyaki roll. The workers were sweet and helpful in answering any questions we had. The owner Alejandro was there and provided recommendations for us as well. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more sushi rolls! This review is for their vegan sushi nights, I personally have not tried out their breakfast selections yet. They also had a pop up tent set up outside that sold Vida green juices. We tried the Verde and Boost juice and loved both of them! Highly recommend going to try their sushi night as a date, with friends, and with family! read more

Carnita asada was amazing love the taste and the amount..the waitress (Maldonado) was super friendly and always making sure we are ok.

Really was looking forward to trying the district cafe and checking out their happy hour specials. When we went to order the happy hour special of 5 appetizers we ordered 1 of them as a tri-tip slider. Our server said it's only pulled pork or chicken, but on the main menu we were given it had tri-tip as an option as well. When we pointed that out she acted annoyed and that she would have to check to see if the kitchen would do it. Our ordering experience just set a negative feeling with the restaurant. While our food and drinks were good, I just think the service could have been better and they should have continuity in their menus. read more

Liked the overall vibe of this place. Casual yet comfy. Went here last 15 minutes of Happy Hour and was able to get an order of drinks and their food specials. Mango mule was so good, glad I went for that one. Since we were not so hungry, went for their garlic fries and BBQ sliders. Fries were amazing. I found their sliders a bit dry to my liking but flavorful enough. Since we made it to happy hour, drinks are $5 each and each appetizer was priced the same. They even had a promo for 5 appetizers for $20. Probably would have chosen it if it was a bigger group but honestly, that price can't be beat! read more

Yesterday for brunch me and my family came in as a table of 4 and were seated pretty quickly, which was a great start. Our server, Addison, was absolutely amazing--her service truly went above and beyond! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect the entire time. The chilaquiles were incredible--definitely a standout dish! Everything about the experience was great, and Addison really made it memorable. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Downloaded yelp and made an account just to leave a bad review on a restaurant that used to be one of my favorites, not sure if it's just the afternoon crew that is so horrible or if it's bad all the time now, the owner definitely needs to hire an entirely new crew it seems. The male waiter was outside sitting and drinking with customers (women specifically) and the female waitress was constantly going outside to hangout and talk with customers too been here almost an hour already and still haven't gotten the water we asked for twice, had to ask the other waiter for the water. Unfortunately we'll never be coming back here atleast in the afternoon not too sure if the morning crew is still as good as they were before. read more

Stopped by The District Cafe for lunch and it did not disappoint! The drinks and food were pretty good- which we expected since it's the same owners from Camino and Bakersfield Pizza Company.

We will definitely come back to check out brunch as well as happy hour! read more

No napkins, no drinks no plates. just plain carelessness from employees. were too focused on personal time rather than attending the customers inside. overall disappointing read more

The food here is pretty good. I've had the Cuban sandwich , which was very good. Nice spot to grab a bite to eat. Friendly staff.

I've been advertising this place to my husband and my co-workers since i attended the Yelp event here. So I knew where to take my mom when we wanted breakfast. It was pretty busy, and it looked as if there were only two waitresses, but my mom and I didn't mind the wait, especially because I told my mom they cooked the food from scratch. My mom ate the country fried steak meal with buscuits and gravy. She said the steak was a bit overcooked and a bit too crispy, plus they were a bit stingy with the gravy. But she loved the buscuits and the potatoes. I had the heavy-duty omelet! It was pretty good, especially the fries! read more

The district reminds me of mama's home cooking! Everything delicious & fresh. We were able to sample multiple menu items including the country fried steak & gravy, breakfast sandwich, chillicheese fries, BBQ pulled pork, smash burger & the best cheesecake in town. The owner very nice, funny & very supportive of all local businesses. I thought it was great that he encouraged everyone to support local including other local restaurants!!! My husband makes my favorite heavy so they had a high bar to reach, they did pretty fair. I could have used a bit less pepper. Nothing was overly spicy, which I don't like, including the Chipotle aioli. The fries were super crunchy & the chili has great flavor. I'll definitely be taking my family back! read more

Food was great, we tried their: Green chicken pozole (4/5) Chorizo biscuits with gravy (5/5) Carnita asada breakfast (4/5) because the chilaquiles weren't great but everything else was amazing. Too watery and sauce was a bit too sour. Chicken fried steak, huge portion and very well flavored Downside was it was very loud inside and pretty cramped inside. The food took about an hour to come out so we were starving!! Despite that the severs were great, they refilled our coffee about 3x while waiting and kept a positive attitude. read more

We visited for happy hour. The portion deserves 5 stars, but the types of food to choose gets a 3 star for me. The selections were mostly fries topped with different things, sliders or hot dog. It would have been awesome if there was some fresh element thrown in there because I got pretty greased out before I can finish. The staff was friendly and tables were clean.
