Crema's Take

“Cafe Smitten is a welcoming Bakersfield spot that nails the comfortable third-place vibe with plenty of parking, a charming outdoor patio, and room to linger over breakfast and coffee. While their specialty drinks can be inconsistent (matcha gets mixed reviews), the breakfast menu shines with hearty burritos and bagels that pair nicely with their nitro cold brew—just maybe skip the matcha. It's genuinely family-friendly and perfect for meeting friends or settling in as a newcomer to town.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

Looked up this place online because I’m new in town and it did not disappoint. The area is really nice, there is A LOT of parking in their own lot, they have outdoor and indoor seating and the staff are friendly. Great place to sit and study, the cappuccino was really good.…
