The ORIGINAL Old River Grill (Brimhall Square)
9500 Brimhall Rd #301, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Bakersfield breakfast destination has built genuine loyalty through the kind of personal touches that matter—staff members like Sylvia remembering your creamer preference and Beto's consistent warmth make regulars feel genuinely seen. Beyond the welcoming atmosphere, they've mastered the art of flexibility and speed, happily crafting off-menu items and delivering them hot and fresh in minutes, all while maintaining the attentiveness that keeps people coming back for years. Their breakfast burritos paired with house salsa are clearly a neighborhood favorite, and the online waitlist feature shows they're always thinking about how to make your visit smoother.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
