Farmacy
1702 18th St, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the charming Padre Hotel in downtown Bakersfield, this cafe serves up genuinely excellent breakfast that locals rave about—their French toast is legendary, loaded with creative combinations like bacon, peanut butter, and banana. The vibe is welcoming and unhurried, with both street and hotel access, making it equally great for a solo coffee moment or lingering with friends over their strong espresso and housemade pastries. It's the kind of spot that justifies waking up early or staying late, especially if you're craving food that tastes as good as it looks.”

I loved this setting in the hotel. There's an entrance from the street too. People were nice.
The breakfast here is absolutely FIRE! I ordered the Elvis French Toast. It had Bacon, Peanut Butter and Banana slices. That was the best French Toast I have ever had.
2nd time in bakersfield only this time our first time in downtown area and only coffee shop that popped in our radius. Coffee was excellent and their breakfast platter was great. I had a French toast but felt bread was too dense.
The Farmacy Cafe and the Padre Hotel are one and the same. The food is AWESOME but a little pricey. It is well worth it though. This little hole-in-the-wall restaurant is absolutely perfect.
Located in The Padre Hotel downtown, tasty casual breakfast stop. The area is sketchy, so take your belongings and lock your car doors. Strong espresso and satisfying food. Breakfast sandwich was super filling and highly recommended. The chorizo skillet was egg heavy and mediocre. The joint lost points because we specifically ordered the french toast with fresh berries and after a long wait for all of our food, they brought out pancakes. Bottled drinks and grab and go items available as well.
