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

Been coming here since I was in my early 20s and I’m 50 now. I miss the sweet Golden retriever! The owner really was foundational in bringing fresh organic and local coffee to Bakersfield. He was doing this before we had Dutch Bros and Starbucks and everything else. I will always be a fan. Between all of the tasty flavors, the fresh coffee, and even the occasional baked good I give this place two thumbs up the ambience is so reminiscent of the Bay Area and it’s just so welcoming.

This is the best coffee hands down! I'm a coffee addict.... I've tried every coffee in Bakersfield and this is by far my favorite! I've tried so many of their flavors and I still can't choose a favorite. I love the variety they have and they are always so friendly. Their prices are also amazing for how big the drinks are!

Just driving by the filling station, you probably wouldn't realize it's a coffee stand. Their brewed coffee is pretty good, better than Starbucks I'd say. The specialty lattes are tasty too - and there are so many flavors and combos to choose from! My favorites are the Mexican Mocha and Kahlua White Russian (hot, not blended). Their iced teas are great too! I haven't tried many but peachy beachy is yummy! If there is already a line of cars waiting, it's easy to get impatient. But stick with it, the drinks are worth it!

This place is LEGENDARY! It should be at the top of Bakersfield's list of ICONIC establishments. THERE IS NOT ONE LIKE IT! The prices r absolutely awesome and so is every single drink option. And i mean that. The coffe gets u going, Theyve also got u covered if youve just got a sweet tooth. You can rest assured you will not ever be disappointed here. I give u my word. Every single person working there has such a big smile and a level of positivity so genuine, itll brighten up ANYONE'S day! This place blows starbucks completely outta the water. 100% Yes, it CAN be a bit of a wait sometimes but I really don't see much that they can do about that. People just know what's good. All those cars aren't waiting in line for No Mediocre drinks or overpriced, watered down coffee. This place is worth being late to work for. And I mean that. Just asked my boss! Lol!

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.
