The Filling Station
1830 24th St, Bakersfield, CA
Crema's Take
“This Bakersfield spot has earned serious loyalty from locals who've discovered genuinely excellent coffee and thoughtfully made drinks—their mango smoothies are a standout surprise that go beyond typical cafe fare. The convenient drive-thru and dual personality as both a morning coffee destination and evening wine pickup makes it a reliable neighborhood fixture, though service can be inconsistent during busy times. Despite some mixed experiences, the regulars who've made it a weekly ritual speak to real quality in their espresso work and the care their staff puts into each drink.”

Visit Caffeine Supreme instead. Regardless of whether it is a small business, the experience was revolting. The wait time was excessively long, with only one car in front of me and one car on the opposite side. Out of the 30 minutes, 10 minutes were spent waiting at the window for assistance. The elderly employee opened the window and asked my order. However, before I could complete my request, he abruptly closed the window and left, leaving me there for an additional 5 minutes. After that time passed, I decided to leave after enduring half an hour of my break, returning to my 6-hour shift feeling hungry and without any beverage or food. I will never return to this establishment and will actively discourage any of my colleagues, friends, acquaintances, etc., from considering it as a place to visit.
Been living in Bakersfield for 5 years always wanted to try this place out ! Couldn’t believe how good the coffee was! Definitely worth it! My spouse & I try and come atleast once a week😊 We like it more then Dutch & Starbucks! Yes it is a wait sometimes but , can’t complain with the customer service and the well prices this little gem offers !
I've always looked for a good mango smoothie bar,I was blown away by the mango smoothie I tried at Filling Station in Bakersfield , it was just mango puree and coconut milk, and the best part was that it contained real mango puree. I'm stuck with this Smothie station for the time being. I haven’t tried any other drinks yet but my workmates loved the assorted hot coffee they serve.
This is such a great shop at an excellent location for getting the morning coffee and picking up the evening wine. I had a delicious hot chocolate that the staff warmed up for when I had half a cup left. I enjoyed sitting on the outside benches while I finished my plan for the day. It was truly an enjoyable "coffee break" (hot chocolate for me!) And I will be back again soon! Many Blessings
