Crema's Take

This Bakersfield gem surprises visitors with its spacious, welcoming interior that feels far larger than its modest mom-and-pop exterior suggests, creating an ideal spot for both quiet conversations and casual gatherings. The kitchen delivers consistently excellent, generously portioned food and drinks with genuine care, while the staff brings authentic warmth that keeps people coming back—reviewers rave about the friendly service and thoughtful attention to detail that transforms a casual meal into a memorable experience.

First time in, I had a wonderful experience. It was quiet enough for us to chat and the table was big enough for us to eat without feeling crowded. The drinks and food were delicious! The omelette I had included peppers and onions and cheese, oh my! I got biscuits and gravy as a side dish and that was a good savory dish with peppery goodness. Service was excellent, everyone was polite and kind. I'd definitely stop in again!

Randomly chose this spot for my friend’s bday Friday 8-4-23. Food was excellent. Server was excellent. Atmosphere was nice and quiet. You can hear everyone talking and chewing by the way. Spot seems like a ‘regulars only’ type of place. I went outside to parking lot and all you see are handicapped license plates. I support the blue line stickers. Military veteran stickers and Trump stickers. So keep that in mind if you’re not Caucasian.

My first impression walking in was that this place is definitely a mom and pop shop. It seems so much more once you actually open the doors and realize how large the entire restaurant is. They have a full size bar alongside the restaurant. Everyone was friendly, including the customers. They have a very warm and homeful feeling like you could ask for an extra piece of bacon sitting at your own dinner table. I had the suggested Chili Verde Omelette with biscuits and gravy as my side. It was unexpected and I know everyone makes dishes different but this was a very good solid flavorful Chili Verde. Not spicy and still has all of the flavors you're looking for in a dish like this I would recommend coming and trying this place out.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great menu. Portions are big and they have a nice bar selection. Waitresses are super friendly and nice. Our first time there and definitely not our last. Will recommend this place for sure.
