Bonnie's Best Cafe
1900 21st St, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“Bonnie's Best is a charming sandwich shop that's earned serious love for their cleverly celebrity-named creations like the Tom Cruise and Pocahontas—reviewers genuinely rank them among California's best. Beyond the sandwiches, their rotating nightly casseroles and homemade pastries (that carrot cake!) make it feel less like a quick grab spot and more like a neighborhood gathering place where families linger over good food and plenty of parking. The playful vibe, full breakfast menu, and welcoming atmosphere make it the kind of place where you'd actually want to sit down rather than rush out.”

Fast and amazing sandwiches. Carrot cake was my favorite 😍
The sandwiches are very small for the price, along with foul tasting olives. Its cute and stylistic, but the food is nothing special.
4.8/5 for the tom cruise and 4.7/5 for the pocahontas sandwich. I think this is one of the best sandwich places that I’ve had in California. I’d say definitely in the top 5. The place was also pretty relaxing and prices were reasonable.
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 sandwich shop a try!
Don’t feel like cooking... This is your place! They make a different casserole every night. I’ve had several and they all have been great. They come in two sizes, 2 servings $14 or four servings $22.50. I got the two serving Sicilian Tortilla Cannelloni, simply delicious! I also got some baked dinner rolls. You also can get a salad. Casserole in oven for 25 mins or you can microwave it. Always outstanding. They do run out so call in to reserve one to go.
