Came across this coffee shop through Instagram. Had to try their pastries and banana latte. It wasn't overly sweet with the banana flavor it was amazing. I had great customer service and fresh baked desserts.

The customer service was amazing! I got an Apple turn over which was so good and a house tea. I will definitely come back!

My wife and I decided to try Blueridge Coffee Roasting, and we're so glad we did! The coffee was excellent, rich, and full of flavor. We also loved the apple and cherry turnovers—absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was perfect, and the music selection really set the mood. We’ll definitely be back!

Coffee Shop No. 433 Blue Oak Coffee Co. Bakersfield, CA October 11, 2024 On the corner of 20th and G Street in downtown Bakersfield sits a quaint little cafe, Blue Oak Coffee Roasting. Although it's a small place (indoor seating is limited) the cafe serves bold and delicious espresso drinks. The decor was pretty fabulous. The wood accent wall caught my attention. Two gentlemen I had never met were sitting at the arm chairs so I decided to embarrass my teenager and ask the gentlemen if I could take their picture in front of the wall; which they kindly obliged to. Somehow I forgot to take a picture of my cortado. I don't think that has happened in the last three years of my life. After joyfully sipping on my cortado I took my son to the opposite corner of the block to see the Historic Bakersfield Fox Theater. Enjoying life one cortado at a time! Even if no picture was taken to prove it!

Blue Oak is ran by the most beautiful person I’ve ever met. Bernadette is so sweet and remembers my face every time I walk in. The coffee is delicious, and if you ask, she’ll make it to your exact liking and remember your order for next time. The baked goods are simply so delicious. This will forever be my favorite coffee shop in town. Love love love. Will recommend to anyone that will listen. Simply a place that makes you feel at home.

I got myself a donut and a SF Irish Creme Latte w/ Oatmilk. It came out so good! I love the sugar free menu they have, it’s huge. Definitely a coffee shop I can come back to

Great coffee. Great atmosphere. Absolutely loved the vibe if this place. The Employees are so nice and sweet! My go to Latte was made with absolute perfection. Shout to the lady playing the harp. She played so beautifully and made this the experience all the more awesome. Highly recommend coming here. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots

Went in today about a half hour before closing. Small, local coffee shop so of course she's working by herself, please be understanding if you go. This isn't a Starbucks you aren't getting your drink in 2 minutes if there's a line. But that said it's FAR better than any drink you'll get at a chain coffee place. You can tell she puts her heart and soul into it. Literally had to turn around and walk back in to tell her how amazing the drink was. Will definitely be coming back here for another afternoon pick me up!
