My friend and I decided to give Bonnie's Best Cafe a try. It is conveniently located near downtown Bakersfield. When we first walked in, it was just past 10:00 There were no other customers but the 2 ladies behind the counter were busy. I was a bit taken aback when one of the ladies told us to order here and pick up over there. She didn't greet us nor did she smile, she just handed us a to go menu. We both ordered a half sandwich and a cup of coffee. We had to serve ourselves coffee in a to go cup from a single carafe. There wasn't a choice of coffee blends. There is only a hand full of single serve creamers and sugar packets. The coffee was awful, too much of a nutty flavor. I couldn't finish my sandwich and decided to take it home. I walked up to the counter and before I could utter one word a different lady handed me a small plastic container without saying a word. Now, for the better part of this review. I ordered a roast beef sandwich (can't remember the name), the meat was delicious, with the right amount of mustard on a tender French roll. My friend ordered a (Tom Cruise), I can't remember what it was but she loved it. The table and chairs are vintage 1960/70's They are all different and brought back memories of a long ago childhood. Bottom line; I will only order online from this cafe. Oh, and one thing I dislike from any business is being asked for a tip before trying any of the food. The cafe didn't earn the generous tip I gave.
Try the Bing Crosby. It's the best!
Awesome place in Bakersfield, great sandwiches
Let me paint you guys a picture. My dad is in surgery right now while I'm waiting to get the call to go get him. I'm driving around. Hungry but for a different plate than my usual and rowdy places. Drove by, never ever heard of this place before. Decided to stop and check it out. I walked in, greeted kindly, and asked what's the deal here, do I sit and get my order taken or order and sit. Total noob I know 😅 asked for recommendations and got two, The Tom cruise and Brummer. Ordered the Brummer and sat on a corner stool. Most relaxed while eating a simple yet tasty sandwich ever. I'd give em another try on a different sandwich or get familiar with their menu b4 coming again.
Great stuff.
First time ordering great smiles, customer service. I tried a small chicken dumpling soup and the lobster one, didn't care for lobster one chicken one was good but blan needed to add some salt for flavor. I had a Tom Cruise half the bread was heavenly is was just all heavenly tyvm
My dad and I always come here. The soups are very good and I love the atmosphere. This place has its own style..don't change that.
Fabulous Casserole's! Only Wish I New About This Place Sooner! It's Completely Changed Our Shopping, Cooking & Eating Routine For The BETTER! I'm Now A Mainstay Lifetime "Bonnie's Best" With Their Hugh Rotation Variety "Happy Customer"
Great salads and sandwiches and the to-go cook-at-home pot pies are a staple in my family. Lovely local spot.
After wanting to check out Bonnie's Best Cafe for quite some time, we decided to come here for lunch and it was delicious! I ordered the Dr. Laura sandwich which came with hot pastrami, melted pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mustard on rye bread. On top of the 10/10 sandwich, Bonnie's Best also offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with friendly service, and I will definitely be coming back!
Great experience staff was great food is delicious
The bread on my sandwich was stale when I got home. I called Lupe and she refused to do anything about it; not even a discount on a future purchase. I’ve been a customer for 20 years, I don’t plan on going back.
Not too pleased with the order, shrimp was added to my meal... I asked for chicken.
If I can do 0 stars I will. I called in to ask for a price for a catered meal to feed soldiers and they said no thank you. I explained myself saying we are not trying to get free food but we just need a quote for the soldiers catered and the female just hang up on me.
Awesome casseroles or pot pies daily. Also serve awesome sandwiches & salads.
I love this place… food is always fresh, bread is soft and the help is always friendly. Very clean shop. I’ll be back.
Quality food and very flavorful
Great casseroles!
Very overpriced for the quality and quantity of food that you receive. But the original owner is nolonger in charge. To be fair, I had not been here in over 12 years, between my last visit.
ALWAYS love there sandwiches. The Tanya Harding is AMAZING and that potato salad is to die for! i wish i had the recipe to make it. amazing food every single time
