Vests Market

Pretty typical convenience store. It's only a few blocks from my work, so I generally come by here to get a soda or snack when I need to get out of the office for a few minutes. The prices are pretty decent, all things considered. Energy drinks are 2/$4, and a 20 oz A&W root beer is just a buck. They have a really good selection of snacks for a convenience store, so that's also a big plus. They also have a few food items that they serve from behind the counter (subs, hot dogs, etc), but I haven't gotten around to trying those quite yet. They always seem to be short on change in the register, so way too often they rather let me keep my twenty cents than break a dollar bill, so I try to make sure I have change when I come here to make sure I'm not cutting into a local business's profit margins. All in all a decent little place, but can have some shady clientele due to the location and the Western Union/Bill Pay desk in the back.

Super clean downtown market in newly renovated historic building. Friendly staff & quality fresh food, including delicious @TinasTacos661 Mexican Food made to order. Doughnuts, Hot Foods, Groceries, Cleaning Supplies, Gifts, Health & Beauty, Beer, Wine, Coffee, Cigarettes & Lotto. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner served all day. English, Spanish & Punjabi spoken here. EBT accepted.

This place should be a national monument - been there for ages, good quick stop for supplies, be it junk food, real food (fresh sandwiches, nachos, hot dogs, etc.) or just dropping in to get some cold drinks for the warm Bakersfield days (115F).Staff is very friendly, and as you get to be a more usual face, they are very very friendly - so definitely worth a stop if you need supplies ;)

Hery is great every time I come in he and his staff treats me like family . Good food good people pulse there's cool new stuff I got from his store

This place is everything the other review said except that it is also around the block from where I work and when I'm not quitting cigarettes or if I'm just in the mood for a cold Yoohoo this is the place I'll wander into. I'm so glad that this place has found its niche in the downtown microcosm and is still open despite competition from 24 hour mini mart gas n' gos. Surprising.

Do not go on weekeneds. I am a regular every week i go get a sandwich but this little girl had to re make my sandwich like 3 times was going on 4 couldnt wait and feal with her attitude. Its was a simple sandwich everything but 4 toppings. Not going on weekeneds. Im sticking to mt sandwich girl Marisa. Thanks girl for not making a simple sandwich in break.

MAGGOTS IN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bought some snacks from this Market a few times and didnt have a problem. I bought snacks on 5/15/2013 and found maggots in the food. The sad thing is when i went back to return what i had bought the owner tried to offer me another pack of cookies. Hello Owner i just found maggots in the food and you want to offer me more. She then told me oh well and she did not want to give me money back for this. So unless you like maggots in your food I would suggest going somewhere else.
