Farmacy Cafe — Restaurant in Bakersfield

Meanwhile @ the Farmacy Cafe located inside the Padre Hotel a perfect coffee experience happened.

I decided to slither in to the Farmacy Cafe to process emails and phone messages alike.

I’ve had a cup already and try to limit myself but in ordering a blah day sugar cookie, I asked for an Italian style Capp.

Best Cappuccino since I had access to both machine and my choice of roaster. It’s actually better and climbing the charts for the best to be completely candid.

Avery is only a kid yet compliments the industry with a true fervor for creating “the perfect coffee experience. A dyed in the wool professional. Already a master barista by my standards. Just watching his expert tamp and pour stepped up Bakersfield’s coffee status in my humble opinion. If you like coffee and have history with coffee shops as a business, the lesson will humble you as well.

I didn’t have to wait but a couple minutes and I would stand in a long line for this coffee. The most excellent customer service was the b-day party sprinkles on a craft sugar cookie.

He brings his own equipment to step up the game here. Pretty impressive this day and age. Service industry has hope after all. Avery loves his work and we are fortunate that...

Sad. We got there we waited at the front of the bar of the Cafe itself for 10mins waiting for service. The person comes out and asks us "do you need anything?" Welp. If I'm here I probably want some coffee or a drink. We told them some coffee. Didn't notice but on my receipt they charged me for a shot of espresso when it should be included in a dirty chai. If you google the definition of a dirty chai it comes with shot. Then I was charged with Oat Milk and I had no idea that would be an extra charge. They also used Tazo Chai Late......I'm confused there isn't that pre-made already ready to drink?!? Lolz Our shots were not pulled correctly and over extracted. Its a really cute place and its beautiful inside but the quality of coffee...

Steer clear of this hotel cafe. Nothing they make is good. The service is terrible and extremely slow. The last time I went, I just decided to leave without my tea, because who expects a cup of tea to take more than 10 minutes? They need to get additional help at the very least to get orders out faster. Another woman came downstairs while I was waiting for my tea, she ordered her coffee 30 minutes earlier through room service, and it still wasn’t ready. They had to make it for her on the spot. It’s ridiculous. They also need to hire a new chef because whoever is making the food back there isn’t doing...
