The Juice Joint Coffee and Cigar Lounge
200 H St, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“This Bakersfield spot blends coffee culture with live entertainment, making it a rare destination where you can enjoy fresh-grilled breakfast alongside karaoke nights hosted by a DJ who actually remembers your name. There's a genuinely welcoming vibe here, especially if you're staying at the attached hotel and want to start your day with small-batch prepared food or end it singing with folks who treat regulars like family. Fair warning: the experience can be inconsistent, and the neighborhood dynamics may not suit everyone, but when it clicks, this place delivers the kind of memorable, unpretentious hospitality that keeps people coming back.”

It would be great like it used to be but there are homeless scary people that clamor around here
This cafe is attached to the hotel and host the complimentary breakfast. It is served in buffet style warming trays but everything was prepared in small batches fresh off the grill. Everything was tasty enough for me to let the cook (Jason) know. The young lady out front (I should have got her name) was very pleasant and kept my coffee topped up. I will definitely go back for my evening meals after work! Dinners have proven to be really good as well. Straight forward menu at reasonable prices. The cook even takes some pride in presentation. Waitress (Angie) was very attentive on things like topping up my glass of pop before I asked without being intrusive. Also greets you with a nice smile. Not sure why this place is not busier. Especially with the deal for people staying at the hotel. I have mixed emotions on the hotel management at the moment but will leave that one alone
Didn't eat, went for Kareoke. Had a blast.
The bartender's done interact with the customers. Bought a the drink and never got my change back bartender automatically assumed that it was theirs. Maybe coming from an industry where I'm around customer service bars, casinos, I expect a lot more but... Basic customer service basic bartender etiquette
Love this place!! If your I to kareoke then this is the go to. The dj makes it a point to remember names and always greets the return customers by name. There's an atmosphere that almost feels like your at your families for dinner and music and dancing. You can play a game of pool while your on the list waiting to sing. Nobody has to be bashful or nervous ther because they make you feel Important to them not just another customer. Go give it a try or just having a goodtime listening to the folks si going, I promise you will enjoy yourself. See u there!!
