Favorite: coffee coffee buzz buzz buzz ice cream in a chocolate sprinkle dipped cone. I'm a sucker for coffee ice cream recently.
This place needs more areas to sit and stand. It gets very crowded on weekends.
Get the Snooze Spuds Deluxe with hash browns covered in jack cheese and an egg and add avocado, pico de gallo and goat cheese. Worth the 2 hour wait.
Vegetarians- hope the veggie burger is a special (photo) otherwise it's just salads, veggie chips, nuts, beer, wine and cocktails. Both the fries and the sweet potato fries are made with beef tallow.
Best coffee, almond croissants and amaretti cookies. Come early if you want the prime pastry selection.
Such a good hotel for Bakersfield. Comfortable beds, rooms are a bit small and some of them have an awkward window to the toilet from the bed and it can be loud if the clubs are open.
The Sunday brunch buffet has a pretty decent make your own cheese plate, with a couple of fruit chutneys and fresh berries.
If you work or live nearby, they can drop you off while your car is being repaired.
Even if you don't call ahead and arrange a picnic lunch, you can purchase snacks like a five cheese plate or truffled popcorn that will pair well with their pinots.
Simple food prepared very well. I went with a group that had one vegetarian and one non-dairy eater and they were able to cater to both. Reasonably priced wine list, too.
A bit heavy on the sales pressure to join the wine club, but the wines are reasonably priced and have great names like A.S. Kiken.
One of my all time favorite Napa wineries. I love their cabs and hospitality. You need to make reservations prior or legally they can't serve you. Diamond Mountain has some strict regulations.
The front desk service is amazing. Had candy and water waiting after we arrived from a long flight, and packed a breakfast for us when we had to leave early.
