Spencer's Cafe
3501 Mall View Rd, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“This family-owned Bakersfield institution brings genuine care to every plate, with reviewers raving about impossibly fresh and fluffy pancakes, french toast, and chicken fried steak that taste nothing like freezer-burned shortcuts. The welcoming atmosphere and attentive service—locals consistently praise staff like waitress Tryna for their efficiency and warmth—make Spencer's feel less like a typical breakfast spot and more like a neighborhood gathering place with multiple locations that inspire loyal repeat visits.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
