Pura Vida Coffee - Bakersfield, California

They need more help they take forever. Is good, but they do take forever 15 min in line this morning to go up to the speaker, and then they take 5 min to answer you and another 6 for food. If I wouldn't promise my co-workers that they were getting their drink and sandwich.I wouldn't have left. LoL 🤯

Be sure to skip Dunkin' and pull into the next driveway! Pura Vida has an amazing selection of coffees. I will try a food selection next time because everything sounds delicious. The staff is delightful and my Abuelita hot coffee is my new favorite for life! Pura Vida deserves our local support!!)

I love supporting small local businesses especially ones that have coffee... but I have to be honest this was the worst coffee I've had .
I had the mazapan latte it was watered down and it had the worst after taste It tasted like faucet water I also had the jalapeño cream cheese roll and the bread is fine but the cream cheese tasted like it's been sitting in the fridge for to long.
I'm sure it has better drinks and better food just this combo was not it. I wish this business the best.

The staff is nice! I tried the Mazapan drink & it was ok. I had better. Still not giving up on them & will try them again.

My sister and I tried out their coffee recently and I noticed their sizes are large and good portions. On menu you can get an "Extra large" but we both went with a large size and it was enough. The prices are not too high for it being a smaller business and I appreciate that. I liked my iced coffee from here (I don't remember the name of it). My sister had gotten some kind of chocolate frappé but hers seemed a bit too much of one thing and not enough of another. like it was too much chocolate syrup added to it, I believe.
We also ordered the coffee cake.. I think we both liked that the best of all. We will have to try some more things to really see more tastes.
Update: ordered the "Cuban sandwich" and it was very disappointing for being an 8 dollar sandwich. I don't recommend the food items here.. and also coffee is all very sugary

After passing by this place so many times I decided to give it a try today and I was pleasantly surprised!, Though I did not try their food, which I will be pretty soon I decided to stop by and grab an iced coffee. The menu was quite eye-catching with all the beverages they had to offer, for example “ Brown sugar macchiato, mazapán
latte, horchata café de olla” and many more! Couldn’t decide but I had a well recommended drink for the Bartista a young girl who suggested the Brown Sugar Macchiato ! Hands down I wanted to swing by to get a seconded one 😂 if you love cafe with a touch of Latin American this is the place for you ! Give it ago they have reasonable prices 🫶🏻👏🏻

A few weeks later update, I had a drink made wrong and the manager was quick to correct it, I will still be coming back for my weekly coffee! Btw the Abuelita Iced cafe is really good 👌

Had a real hard time getting across that all I wanted was a large hot latte. The kid seemed pretty distracted. My wife actually got violently ill several hours after drinking the thai latte..

Stopped today for the first time. Service was excellent and my Mexican candy refresher was delicious. Don't sleep on the place, it's amazing! I will be a regular to try more items. Support small business!
