Bonnie's Best Cafe — Restaurant in Bakersfield

My friend and I decided to give Bonnie's Best Cafe a try. It is conveniently located near downtown Bakersfield. When we first walked in, it was just past 10:00 There were no other customers but the 2 ladies behind the counter were busy. I was a bit taken aback when one of the ladies told us to order here and pick up over there. She didn't greet us nor did she smile, she just handed us a to go menu. We both ordered a half sandwich and a cup of coffee. We had to serve ourselves coffee in a to go cup from a single carafe. There wasn't a choice of coffee blends. There is only a hand full of single serve creamers and sugar packets. The coffee was awful, too much of a nutty flavor. I couldn't finish my sandwich and decided to take it home.

I'd give em another try on a different sandwich or get familiar with their menu b4...

Plenty of parking and seating makes this quaint and inviting sandwich downtown shop an easy place to frequent. Their sandwich’s are cleverly named after celebrities which only adds to the fun. Always fresh and plenty of variety. They even have daily special’s making it a special treat to look forward to your weekly favorite. During the week I like the Katie Holmes and on Fridays the Richard Pryor, a special grilled cheese served with tomato soup. I also appreciate that they carry several Zero sodas which isn’t yet widely available everywhere. The service is friendly and fast. Give this...
