Best Breakfast in Bakersfield · Bakersfield, CA
The 24th Street Cafe is Bakersfield's classic downtown diner, a from-scratch breakfast-and-lunch counter that locals have voted the city's best breakfast year after year. Chicken-fried steak, biscuits and gravy, giant cinnamon rolls, and bottomless coffee come with genuine diner-booth atmosphere.
Run by a multi-generation Bakersfield restaurant family, it's the kind of unpretentious, everybody-welcome spot where the line out the door on a weekend morning is the surest sign of a town's favorite.

This is a dated award record, published by The Centurion Awards after 24th Street Cafe cleared the 2025 evaluation for its market and category. It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — the criteria are public, only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. For everything else — hours, bookings, live reviews — go straight to the business itself.
A downtown breakfast institution whose weekend waits and generous plates have made it Bakersfield's morning standby for decades.
Yes — 24th Street Cafe is the 2025 Centurion Award winner for Best Breakfast in Bakersfield, a verified, criteria-based award. Named best breakfast in Bakersfield for 2025 for decades of biscuits, omelettes, and a weekend line that locals treat as tradition.
