Tin Cup Coffee

I work out in the gray area between Bakersfield and Shafter and there aren't many options for lunch. When Tin Cup Coffee opened on Lerdo Hwy. I thought it was a nice addition to the area considering there isn't much like it nearby. I started coming here years ago after they first opened and found they are so much more than just a coffee shop. They a good breakfast selection and their lunch options were a pleasant surprise. So years later I realized I have never given them a review. Today I called in an order and got the Santa Fe chicken salad which was delish! The only warning I have is that it comes with a spicy chipotle ranch which is definitely a spicy kick. I personally love it but those that are sensitive to spicy may want to change their dressing to one of their other options. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful and the establishment is always super clean. And I always get an iced tea because it tastes fresh everytime! My personal favorite is the peach iced tea. If you like soup they have a daily schedule and some of their soups sell out quickly so put your order in early. I haven't had their soup for awhile but I know their loaded potato and chili always go quickly from past ordering. And can't forget about their coffee selections, hot or iced, always good.

I have been to Tin Cup a few times now and tried quite a bit of stuff. This is a true cafe feel where there is plenty of seating to hang and get work done if needed or hang out with friends while you enjoy your order. It has a bit of a western theme to it. The bathrooms are always clean. The changing table is a little tricky to use and put back up, but it was custom which fit the decor and was pretty cool!I would say the drinks are my favorite part along with the lunch options overall. I've tried a sandwich that was delicious as well as some cold brews, lattes, and iced tea. My favorite drinks are the coffee style ones because they are smooth and flavorful. I have had the opportunity to try a few pastries and they are just not quite right, in my opinion. Very heavy handed on the buttery/greasey side and then the texture gets ruined for me by that, especially when it comes to the cronut but I've felt the same about other pastries too.Now the thing that is absolutely top notch about this place is the customer service! They've always been so helpful and friendly every visit, but most recently this past month I drove here from Bakersfield and forgot my wallet. I ordered not knowing that, and when it was time to pay I had nothing but my phone and couldn't figure out my Google wallet. I had my baby with me and it had been a really long morning. I was really starting to panic but mentioned I had PayPal and could maybe pay that way. The register isn't set up for that, but she happened to have PayPal and told me if I transferred her the payment she would make it for me. Holy cow, above and beyond her job duties and totally made my day. I could have cried! These ladies are seriously just so kind and I love that. I will always be a customer when I can visit because of that moment. I'm always recommending to my friends to take the drive to shafter and give this place a shot. It's worth it!

Oh my gosh!!! This place is so cute!!! It's giving I'm in a country movie vibe!!! It was Thursday so they had the special tomato soup. The location itself is super cute but as the food it was okay. The matcha tasted a little off and the tomato soup was ehh, if that makes sense. The service was super fast because I was the only one in there.

Food and drinks always good at this place can't complaint. But the last 3 times a been there and tried to used the drive thru it was close and with no any sign of that so I been waiting for service. So I don't know if actually works or not as regular. The online service is good order is exactly at the time they said. Inside decoration is very nice. Next time i been in town I will try go inside for service

I have been to Tin Cup before in the drive-thru, but this weekend I decided to come here for a sit down lunch and explore the menu a little more. Its a short, but pleasant, drive from Bakersfield and really easy to find!The restaurant was fairly large and very well maintained. They have a surprisingly extensive menu for being a "coffee" place! The staff were all absolute sweethearts and were very patient with us when we took a long time to place our order.. bless their hearts for *very patiently* waiting on my indecisive 13 year old and 3 year old to each finally decide what they wanted to eat lolMy littlest kiddo was sad to learn that the mac and cheese was discontinued, but she was happy to try the strawberry cronut! (Again, we hadn't been here for food before, but I looked ahead at the menu and mentioned to her that they had mac n cheese lol... my mistake! Moral of this story -- don't mention the mac and cheese to your kids lol.)I have a nut allergy, but I really wanted to try the Berry Salad. The staff assured me that all menu items are made to order so it would be no problem for them to make my salad without nuts! I liked that they were so knowledgeable about the items on the menu and were able to help me ensure I didn't accidently ingest any nuts.The drinks that my kids got were delicious! Mine was not my favorite, but that was my own fault for ordering sugar free AND coconut milk. Don't let this deter you, because all of the other drinks were GLORIOUS lol

Great coffee shop in shafter! Coffee was very delicious and so was the croissant. The ambiance is great, with a lot of seating and a big parking lot. Service was quick, I was able to be in an out.

Very skimpy on portions. Loaded biscuits and gravy should be swimming with gravy. Loaded is supposed to have biscuit, hash brown, bacon bits and egg. I paid for an extra egg. Did not get the egg or the hash brown. I do not eat the biscuit so you can imagine how crappy breakfast was. Upside down macchiato extra hot. Barely 3/4 full. Was shocked at how light the cup was. Trying to support local business, but the quality has to be worth the extra money.

Light relaxing music in the background.Very rustic/ industrial decor.You order at the counter and food is delivered table side. Very Friendly staff and my food came out quickly. I ordered the Cobb salad it was excellent! Freshly made ranch dressing. Generous portions of bacon lardons instead of small bacon bits. Delicious bleu cheese, lightly roasted chicken breast, boiled egg with crunchy fresh lettuce.I'll definitely be back.

Such a cute spot with local items and delicious coffee and food. The employees are always so nice.

Great place to get coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads! Just an overall great variety. The service is great. Everyone is so nice are happy to answer any questions you have. There is an outdoor seating area and the inside is very spacious. Chill vibe and great food, what's not to love!
