Bonnie's Best Cafe

"Every time I come back home to Bakersfield I have to stop by Bonnie’s Best. The sandwiches NEVER disappoint."

"The sandwiches speak for themselves here! Named after Hollywood stars each sandwich is fun to order and delicious to eat. Service is efficient and polite and the atmosphere depends on the time of day. As a downtown sandwich shop, lunchtime is always busy and a bit of a wait but after the shop it is quite peaceful."

"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."

"Don’t feel like cooking... This is your place! They make a different casserole every night. I’ve had several and they all have been great. They come in two sizes, 2 servings $14 or four servings $22.50. I got the two serving Sicilian Tortilla Cannelloni, simply delicious! I also got some baked dinner rolls. You also can get a salad. Casserole in oven for 25 mins or you can microwave it. Always outstanding. They do run out so call in to reserve one to go."
