Con Azucar cafe

Been wanting to try this place since it opened. So I snuck out one early morning to visit. The cafe opens at 7 am which is great... definitely beats the rush. The place is super cute and definitely offers plenty of Insta-photo opps. The place has good coffee options ranging from regular drip coffee to concoctions that include Mexican staples such as Abuelita hot chocolate and Cafe de Olla. They also offer sandwiches, blended coffee drinks, and of course pan dulce.I ordered a café Americano and a sweet bread (pan dulce). I added half-and-half to my coffee when I got it. My first impression was that the coffee is very weak. If you are used to gourmet coffees, you will not be impressed by this one. I should have tasted my coffee before I added creamer. It probably didn't need any, which is customary in a lot of Latin American cultures. The sweet bread was dense and a little bit dry. It definitely was not like the kind that you would get at a Mexican bakery, panadería. I wasn't surprised since I had heard mixed reviews about this place... But I was a tad disappointed.I learned that they sell their branded coffee for $20 a bag, the bag is your standard size which you would buy at the store for $8 to $9, or $12 to $15 for Starbucks and other brands. The coffee at the shop definitely did not justify $20 per bag, which is what you would pay for something like Counter Culture or Intelligenstia Coffee.I really wanted to love this place... It gave me cute cozy café vibes but the food and beverage just did not live up to the hype. The customer service was good, the employees were polite and professional. When I asked why the coffee was so expensive, one of the girls behind the counter, answered that it was to pay for the branding. I do not think I will go back however never say never. My nieces are dying to visit this place when they come visit me so I'm sure I will show up once again.If you go, I hope your experience is better than mine in terms of coffee and food.Enjoy!

I came across Con Azúcar Cafe in Bakersfield through a popular social media post and was excited to check it out. Their main attraction is a massive concha (traditional Mexican sweet bread) priced at $38, which I thought was a fun concept, though a bit steep. Instead, we opted for a couple of cappuccinos and a bag of mini assorted Mexican sweet breads.Unfortunately, the experience fell short. The bread didn't taste fresh, and the cappuccinos were weak and lacked the bold coffee flavor I usually enjoy. As a coffee enthusiast, I expected more depth and richness. On a positive note, the customer service was great, and the decor was warm and inviting. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that the place was a bit overhyped based on the social media post I had seen.

It's a very nice looking place somewhat overrated on their food. My son loves Chilaquiles and he said they were not spicy enough. I had the Chilaquiles burrito. It was all right little bit expensive the big deal there is the big concha with the big cup of coffee. I also tried the conchas and concha muffins Café De La holla, that was normal if you had it any other place, the same. If you like taking pictures in a well decorate restaurant, this is the place for you.

Service was great! I got the Chiquito mocha Mexicano, really good, chocolatey coffee. But over $7 after taxes which was pricy.The outside of the building was painted so cute!

I have been here several times and have enjoyed everything I tried. The coffees have some different flavors but they do run sweet. The bites (14ish) are flavorful but a little on the expensive side. They have breakfast food but I wish they had a few more lunch items. Overall a cute place.

Place is super cute and loved the customer service, however the food and coffee were just ok and bit over priced. We tried the Mazapán Frappe, iced café de olla (didn't taste fresh), the pepino con Limón and Jamaica refreshers were ok and the conchas were cute and passed but again overall everything was just ok. I also ordered a club sandwich, torta con jamón and BLT sandwich to go and unfortunately we all got tortas de jamón lol and didn't realize until we got home. The tortas were good. We would be open to give it another try if in the area but probably wouldn't go out of our way.

Con Azucar Cafe is a fun and unique spot, perfect for getting that social media clout photo. They're known for their "Concha Gigante" and "Cafe de Holla Gigante," which are oversized Mexican sweet bread and coffee. The place has great art and even a swing for photos, and they give you a huge concha.While the conchas are enormous, the interior of this place is quite small, and it can be a struggle to find a seat. It's a sit-down place, so taking the giant concha and coffee to go isn't really an option. I recommend going early and having someone scout for a table while another person orders.This place would be five stars if it were bigger and my wife and I didn't have to share a chair. Despite my initial thought that the concha would be dry since it's a gimmicky food item, I was pleasantly surprised by how good, soft, and flavorful it was. The Cafe de Holla was also excellent; I had plenty left over for the next day!My father-in-law got the chilaquiles, and they had a good chorizo flavor. I'd definitely go back for the Manteconcha. While the Concha Gigante is good, it's more of a one-time social media clout item unless you have a lot of people to share the $40 bread.Ultimately, this place is great for coffee and bread. Drive through, stop in, and get those clout pics!

This place is adorable and hits right in my Mexican American heart ! The place is photo ready so be sure to take your fancy cameras ! The service is fast! Daisy our host was super sweet, she explained their menu very well and she is bilingual so you can order in English, Spanish or my personal favorite Spanglish! Well. I think all the workers are bilingual! As for the food and drinks....what is not to love!!!!I tried the house coffee and it was brewed to perfection and so was the price! They have sweet bread and the Mexican's favorite breakfast cuisine! My mom had the pan dulce that was a cute little bag of mini bread which is a perfect pairing with coffee! I ordered the chilaquiles that were delicious! The chips were super crunchy and you can tell their chile is home made bc it had a good chili taste but not spice at ! I have already invited my yelp bestie to go again with me!!!! Definitely a 10 out of 10 ! I must say I love the location they chose because it's the first really cute spot on the east side.They also play the best Spanish music it's a great place for a perfect date or just an everyday cup of joe to brighten up your day! They will have their grand opening on Saturday, June 29,2024 so be sure to experience the joy of coffee and mexi breakfast!

Tried a latte and it was so sweet with only a slight coffee flavor. It honestly tasted like coffee out of those automated coffee machines at gas stations. Interior is fine if you enjoy that over the top decor. Chairs are fabric and need cleaning. Tables needed wiping. 2 stars for the guy at the cashier at least saying hello and generally pleasant.

The customer service was good she was friendly and she gave us time to look over the menu since it was out first time and the food didn't take to long to get to us. We ordered their matcha and we were honestly disappointed we've tried matcha from a lot of different places in Bakersfield and this one has to be one of the worst ones unfortunately, it tastes completely watered down and had no sweetest to it I had to put 4 packets of sugar and even then it was still bland, I had my brother, mom and boyfriend try it and they all agreed we there was no flavor (this is something I've seen a lot of reviews complain about that the drinks here are bland in flavor) I figured the food would probably make up for it so I ordered their burrito and my boyfriend orders their torta. The torta was a 7.5/10 with the sauce they give you 8/10 the torta wasn't anything too crazy but it was pretty good. The burrito on the other hand was HUGE which I typically wouldn't mind but the problem was it was so soggy and wet to the point where it was falling apart and I couldn't eat it. Burritos are meant to be held in your hands so it really shouldn't be something to messy or completely fall apart on you, I'm typically not too picky when it comes to burritos but everything was just gushing out I was really disappointed. In menu picture it doesn't look like a wet burrito it looks dry and I didn't read anywhere that said the burrito is wet so idk if it was the cooks that messed up or if it's just not labeled either way it was so soggy and it wasn't wrapped well the food was falling apart the moment I opened it I just couldn't eat it as much as I tried. I really wanted to like the burrito but it was just a huge mess. The ambiance is pretty and nice I love the Mexican style all around. Our food was almost 50$ 43.99 to be exact, which to me is crazy because the drinks weren't good and I couldn't even eat my burrito maybe if the prices were cheaper I would come back again but overall the food isn't worth it that much, the drinks have no flavor and it's just to expensive I'd rather pay 50$ and go somewhere where they serve my GOOD food for the same price !(I attached pics so you can see how wet and crumbly the burrito was)
