Lorene's Downtown - Bakersfield

Good, clean coffee shop. Staff is always pleasant, food is good.

It's your basic Cafe style from days gone by but always a smile on everyone's faces and the food is good

The only thing I didn't like was their biscuits. They were a little cakey and bready. Not the type of biscuit I like. Otherwise... Wow! This place is so chill. I don't know why I never tried it before. Oh yeah, we were on lockdown

So my mother and I went there as a last choice, never again. First we ordered the onion rings, which were very good. For my meal I ordered the super turkey sandwich, which was supposed to contain freshly sliced turkey brest, avocado, mayo and pepper jack cheese on toasted sour dough. When it came I was less then impressed, my bread was soggy, I had too much mayo (it was dripping from the sandwich) and my turkey was not fresh. My mother ordered the tostada bowl, with shredded lettuce, cheese, beans and chicken. What came was a flat crispy tortilla, with a very thin layer of beans, and a mound of chunk lettuce. And when we complained to the manager all she had to say was sorry, I hope next time you order the right food never again.

It was a Sunday morning, unlike other Sunday morningsI had to take my kid for volunteer workHe had the times wrongWe were an hour early.
