The Espresso Café located on Mt Vernon Avenue, across the street, from the Renegade Memorial Stadium, is an incredible place to go and relax.
Located where the Supreme Bean used to be. They have many selections when it comes to desserts and drinks such as: cakes, bagels, cookies, candy, tea, coffee (hot or cold), soda, juices and if you want something they don’t offer, you can create your own.
They also have sandwiches and soups that are very delicious.
The prices are very affordable for the quality of their foods and drinks.
The look for the Espresso Café is very sophisticated and fancy. Their idea when creating this café was to bring a San Francisco coffee shop to Bakersfield and not be so rushed.
Starbucks doesn’t even come close to this café when it comes to the décor.
This place is very elegant and has everything you will need to relax and study for class or just to hangout with friends or co-workers. It is also a great place to have work meetings.
They offer the daily newspaper and free WI-FI for all its customers.
As a bonus, all Bakersfield College students and staff get 10 percent off their purchase. It’s an all around great environment and has great customer service.
Being a first time customer I had no idea what to choose from on the menu, they told me they could make me what I would like as long as they had the ingredients, they were very friendly and sweet.
I ended up enjoying a delicious ice blended drink made with white chocolate and whipped cream.
It is a very welcoming place. Espresso Café is a locally owned business, not corporate, they see each other as a great big family.
This café is very healthy and the bakers make everything in the morning so that all their products are fresh. Almost all of what they offer, as far as pastries, is made with whole-wheat flour. All of their products are local and made here in California.
They try to stay green at all times and are very big with recycling and helping out the community, plus all of their foods are organic.
Espresso Café has been open for two months; their hours are Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m. and Friday through Saturday 7 a.m. until 2 p.m., and are closed on Sunday.
