Keene Cafe

Such a darling little cafe with a most beautiful outdoor seating area where the winds blow and the scenery is to die for. The food was very yummy too. Can’t wait to return.

We stopped at this cute Cafe to have breakfast. So GOOD!!!
Had the Cowboy Benedict. Super Yummy! 👌 Great Friendly Service. 👍

Excellent chicken sandwich for lunch. Waitress was very helpful. I gave it four stars for atmosphere only because it is quite rustic, but I like the old style a lot. It has quite a history.

I stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. It’s a very clean restaurant. I ordered the mushroom cheeseburger and it was outstanding. They also used fresh mushrooms, way to go management! The couple sitting next to me were eating breakfast, I overheard them saying how good the Huevos rancheros breakfast is. I’ll come by again to try that. The other picture is of the chili Verde omelette I had a few days later.

What a gem located between Bakersfield and Tehachapi! Their lunch menu is good, but the breakfast choices are amazing. The breakfast specials are always on point. It is one of those places that after a meal, you feel like you have eaten food prepared with love.

Casual country diner vibe with staff that are so kind and attentive you'd think you were in the south and food that's filling and delicious. They accept cash and cards.

Pit stop for some coffee and dessert. Beautiful location in Keene, also great customer service. Not too busy but was attended and served quickly. I overheard the breakfast is excellent 👌. Parking is massive for all semis and Rigs. Its right next to the Kern County Firestation.

Great food and service but the atmosphere lacks a little bit. Other than that it has great people and nice parking.

YOU GOTTA STOP HERE FOR THE BEST BREAKFAST IN THE TEHACHAPI!!! TREAT YOUR HUNGER WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK.

GREAT SERVICE ALSO!!!

Very nice people and service. We had 2 omelettes and pancakes. Freshly served and delicious.

Had the Chilaquiles hit the spot, if you like them crunchy ask they be made with one egg. The chorizo and eggs delicious as well served with home fries and refried beans ... great start to a day

This is a regular stop for my wife and I. She loves the lunches and I love the breakfasts. The chili verde pork is amazing as breakfast or lunch. I haven’t had anything from the menu that I wouldn’t order again.

Great stop right off the thruway. They have a large gravel parking lot that can accommodate campers & bike groups. Also easily accessible bathrooms & outdoor seating under shade trees. The chicken quesadilla was delicious!

Let's just say this food is tasty and delicious!! Denver omelette, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy were deliciouso!! Try this little hidden gem out!!

Nice little diner tucked away off the side of the highway. My breakfast looked just as great as it tasted!

Great food, great service. So glad we stopped on our way back home. Traditional, home cooked dishes; uniquely Keene - better than any local or chain restaurant dining experience! 👌

Stumbled across this little place while on a three week road trip. Food was excellent and couldn't ask for a friendly server. We definitely enjoyed our visit and wouldn't hesitate to visit again if we happened to be in the area.

A great diner experience! Great food and great, friendly service.
This is a hidden jewel close by to Tehachapi that I will visit again!

I had the country fried steak and eggs breakfast. The steak was tender and delicious!

After a super long road trip and several bad eating experiences along the way it was nice to sit down to something delicious and affordable in a clean setting with good service. The tritip omelet was so good. Great place, love to give my money to the little guys instead of Denny's
