"Friendliest place in Bakersfield! They have customers walking in and being greeted like I'm in an episode of cheers at 6:30AM it's so incredibly pleasant ! It's a bit pricier than the chain cafes but the atmosphere makes it worth it. Their menu is also more diverse than most places with breakfast menus and boy can that cook make a steak 🤤 Shout out to the wait staff who were SO kind! Unbelievably kind people for how early it is and the fact that this is southern California it's like I found a rural cafe hiding in the city and it's so nice 💕"

"Sarah was Amazing A++++++ Honestly I searched in Google best breakfast in Bakersfield and 24th street Cafe came up. WORTH EVERY PENNY. LOVE THIS PLACE"

"An absolute treasure! You enter in nostalgia inducing atmosphere that is fresh and clean. I was immediately greeted and seated. The server "waitress" was already bringing me water with a warm morning smile and asked "coffee?" I nodded a yes and ended up ordering the chicken fried chicken with biscuits and gravy, fried potatoes and scrambled eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The cooks in the back worked in sync like poetry in motion! They had moves! I sat there taking in the pleasant surroundings and ended up chatting with a couple of regulars seated on opposite sides of me. It felt like home. Bravo to the owner who obviously cares and takes great care of the employees, the buildingd, and the business! Thank you for an excellent morning of fabulous food and new friends."

"24th is an iconic spot in Bakersfield. It serves delicious traditional americana breakfast as well as some delicious lunch items and unique, fluctuating specials. Their 50's diner decor give a blast to the past dining feel. Their friendly, attentive staff, and welcoming family environment is what keeps people coming back! Be aware, because of how good it is there might be a wait, but it is so worth it."

"We stopped at 24th Street Cafe on our drive back from Las Vegas to San Francisco based on a Google recommendation. There’s limited seating inside, but there’s an air-conditioned terrace which is a real bonus. The classic diner look and feel delivers on that nostalgic charm, and it’s clear this spot has a devoted local following. The menu is extensive, with lots of the diner staples, but also a number of specials. Our food was delicious, well-prepared, and arrived quickly. Which is exactly what you need when you’re on the move. If you’re passing through Bakersfield, don’t miss this hidden gem. We’ll definitely make it a regular stop on our travels!"
