2025 Centurion Award winner
24th Street Cafe
Best Breakfast in Bakersfield · Bakersfield, CA
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.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for 24th Street Cafe (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
