Renae's Cafe
7737 Meany Ave, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Bakersfield institution nails the art of the casual breakfast and lunch spot, where generous portions and genuinely friendly service keep families and regulars coming back. The dedicated drink station staff keeps coffee cups perpetually full while the kitchen turns out hearty comfort food—think chicken fried steak skillets and surprisingly solid sandwiches on quality bread—that punches above its price point. It's the kind of neighborhood gathering place where you can linger over coffee or grab a quick bite, and either way, you'll feel like a regular from your first visit.”
