Good blended drinks on a hot day. We got the white cow and the German chocolate, both were really good.

It is always great to pull up and be greeted by Andy or one of his friendly staff. You save money over the national chains and get so much choice it is almost overwhelming! They have a great sliding shelf that brings out your drink and takes in your payment so you remain socially distant. Very clever design. The lines can be long, but drinks this custom are worth the wait!

This is such a great shop at an excellent location for getting the morning coffee and picking up the evening wine. I had a delicious hot chocolate that the staff warmed up for when I had half a cup left. I enjoyed sitting on the outside benches while I finished my plan for the day. It was truly an enjoyable coffee break (hot chocolate for me!) And I will be back again soon! Many Blessings

This coffee shop looks amazing like a gas station without the pumps. It is adorably cute. I had the chai with almond milk and I also ordered hot chocolate.

My barista Lizzy was friendly and helpful when I asked about menu items, and my order was made quickly,(Kailua Caramello 32oz, Honey vanilla latte 24oz, and 2 danishes),all came out to $15 and some change.(Remember folks to tip your server!) Ill be sure to come back again, Thanks for making our snack stop a guilt free one Lizzy 👍

Infested with BEES!! Waited in the drive through for over 30 minutes and this place is infested with bees! They are flying around my car, inside, in and out of both drive thru windows. They were even in the pastry cases! We are allergic and I was too scared to roll down my window! Came for coffee and had an anxiety attack for 30 minutes.

Just driving by the filling station, you probably wouldnt realize its a coffee stand. Their brewed coffee is pretty good, better than Starbucks Id say. The specialty lattes are tasty too - and there are so many flavors and combos to choose from! My favorites are the Mexican Mocha and Kahlua White Russian (hot, not blended). Their iced teas are great too! I havent tried many but peachy beachy is yummy!If there is already a line of cars waiting, its easy to get impatient. But stick with it, the drinks are worth it!

I use to be a barista at two different places (not filling station) and am an avid coffee drinker and this was by far the best coffee place I’ve ever had. 11/10 would recommend. Espresso goes down smooth and compliments each drink. I live an hour away from here and go to Bakersfield solely for this coffee 😭

The Filling Station has the best coffee and frappes Ive ever had anywhere. There are so many choices and every one Ive tried is fantastic. The employees are super friendly and the drive-thru is convenient. Its worth the detour to downtown Bakersfield!

Good coffee shop on the corner of the street, they have drive thru. My friend purchased coffee and said it tastes really good. We compared prices and this shop is cheaper than lot of places and even the taste is better. This is one of the oldest coffee shops and have good flow of people visiting this coffee shop. It’s in Baketsfield down town really busy place I guess it’s because of taste and also it’s very it’s as it’s in the corner of two streets. People also park their cars and get inside the store to get their coffee and other stuff. Staff are extremely friendly and real quick in service. Overall it a good experience at this coffee shop. They gave structured parking apart from drive thru, also the drive through is on both sides.

This is a great place to get coffee... located in downtown Bakersfield, this coffee location has it all. Historic, convenient, great selection and quality ingredients. The service is always super friendly and you cant beat the prices. There are two drive up and one walk up window. While there isnt a lot of space for lots of cars, the line moves quickly enough to prevent to large of a backup.

Great cup of gimmicky coffee. The Birthday cake latte was perfect. We also tried the PSL and it was on point. The cafe is super clean with great decor. The staff is very helpful and willing to make recommendations. I love the fact that some of the tables are communal and encourage you to socialize with your neighbor. Great concept in a great location. If you are in the area you have to stop in for a pick me up.

Please support this local coffee place. Has been around for a very long time and have the best fraps, smoothies, and teas I have ever had. You will not be disappointed. What a gem in Bakersfield. Thank you filling station for keeping Bakersfield caffeinated. Recommendations -- the toffee tiger, banana strawberry smoothie, any of their unique herbal teas.

This place has great drinks. The menu is so big it can be overwhelming. Staff is always super friendly and there is a rewards program, buy 8 get 1 free.In addition to great drinks and service, the Filling Station is supportive of local organizations - they often have donation areas for different charity groups and post flyers of local goings on.
