The Filling Station

The filling station is my go to coffee spot. I would consider myself «reliant» on coffee and need a minimum of two cups a day! These baristas are always speedy and overly sweet; the two best things someone could be PRIOR to your first cup of coffee for the day ;) The pricing is amazing and in my opinion, the roast used is far better than your typical Starbucks. I don’t remember his name, but the gentleman with brown hair always seems to remember me and my drink order, which is more than appreciated! Love this place.

Love their own! Actually has coffee in it not just sugar!!!
Wish you had a closet location to my house

If you’re a tea lover this is the place to go. They serve Two Wheel Tea Co. And the selection is fantastic. From the stronger tropical bliss to the light and refreshing white, every opinion I have tried has been great. Plus, the service is great! Every time you order you are met with a polite smile.

His place is amazing! Not only the coffee but the staff and prices also! I go there at least twice a week… You can for what they charge.

Holy crap. Simply the best. Hey filling station! Are your employees well treated?! If so, you’re my new instant forever place.

No foam in the lattes! The hot chocolate wasn’t stirred! You have one job and you can’t do that. Never go again!

Like the coffees and drinks and what the business stands for, but I also remember why I don’t come here as often. The morning crew is always fairly slow or understaffed. I arrived at 7:16 and was third in drive up line, on the the right, while there were four or five more backed up on the left, and two walk ups. It’s now 7:44. They are just finishing their conversation and my order. Yeah. Not coming after 7:15 ever again. All I gotta say is, if you need to be somewhere soon, and pull into the lot and there’s at least two vehicles in front of you, or on both sides … consider how much time you have and if you REALLY need that coffee. I would have left, but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, seeing how it’s been awhile since I was last here.

I usually come every weekend for a rocky toffee blended latte but to day id have to say the worst service ever maybe they need exra halp on times they r busy or a kil more traing on multitasking there wefe only a total of 6 cars and i was the 3^rd car back from one side of the line and had to leave aftwr 10 minuets of waiting the blended drinks r good not saying i wont be back but will say managment should maybe schedule there best barista on busy days especially if its taking 10 min per customer after all it was only 6 cars in line

If you’re moving through Bako — be sure to hit this place up. Pretty delicious ice blended coffees to keep you awake on the highway :)

This place was Very good! The employee was super sweet and really helpful on informing us about their drinks. I got an iced vanilla-​nut coffee and it was so good and not too sweet! I will definitely go back!

I love coming to the Filling Station for my teas. My favorite is the black iced tea unsweetened. You can’t beat the prices either. This is the spot to go if you’re downtown.

This place is really good! The service was awesome with the nicest people serving.
Coffee was really good and thy have so many options to choose from.

Best best best coffee and blended drinks I’ve ever had anywhere. They have more flavors than any place you’ll go. They only use top 3% of coffee in the world.
So many creative blended coffee drinks. My favs are Sir Wesley and Bakersfield Buzz. Lots of fun seasonal offerings.
If you are looking for coffee as you are driving down Highway 99 take a short detour, you won’t regret it!

Why in the world would anyone go to Starbucks when The Filling Station is around. I was jonesing for coffee and despise SB, so pulled up Unilocal and voila, found TFS and ordered a large almond milk mocha. When I say large, I am not kidding. This thing was probably the largest coffee I’ve ever gotten. Espresso was smooth and they get major points for offering almond milk.
I will definitely hit this place up when I visit my family.

So delicious! It’s never too packed so you’re usually always out quickly. The Carmelo is by far my favorite since I looooove caramel! Prices are decent. The employees are always really nice and never upset or grumpy. Lastly, you can tell the ingredients they use are top quality. Way better than Starbucks, in my opinion.

I recently started visiting this drive-​thru coffee joint and have been nothing but satisfied. The staff is always friendly! It doesn’t matter when I go — early morning, afternoon, or closer to evening — they are always friendly and polite.
As for the coffee, I’ve tried a few variations on lattes, straight black coffee, and even some of the blended beverages. The regular coffee is pretty solid– no burnt taste that is common in some of the more popular chain stores. Their lattes have always been well made, although I would advise to specify any flavor additions carefully, as their default amount is pretty sweet. Lastly, the blended coffee! I’ve indulged in a few and they hit it out of the park. Let’s be honest — blended coffees are basically milkshakes, and here they are served that way — sweet and very rich, but with a huge variation in flavors.
As for food, I’ve only had the occasional bagel. My only recommendation would be for them to separate the onion bagels from other offerings — I’ve had a few times my peanut butter bagel has had a pretty strong onion flavor. It’s minor, but would be nice.
Overall would recommend for a quick cup of coffee and way to branch out to support another local business!

I’m usually partial to getting my standard vessel of iced coffee as I am a purist. However, a person JUST needs to treat themselves to something blended, caffeinated, and topped with whipped cream. If it’s that type of day for you, go to The Filling Station. They have a ton of decadent flavor combinations to suit any palate, and your morning/​afternoon will be kicked up a notch.
I ordered the white Russian frappé and it totally got the job done with it’s chocolatey/​Irish crème-​y/​frothy goodness. Prior to my visit, my mother requested «something sugar-​free».
«And waste a perfectly good opportunity for empty calories?!» I questioned.
She ended up with the «chocolate chunk funk» and I’m pretty sure she was grateful.
GO HERE. That is all.

Cute drive through spot boasting an intimidating menu of organic coffee and tea selections. Mostly Starbucks-​style dessert drinks and frappes, but some interesting sounding options. We went for a classic americano and a smoothie (blueberry banana mango, I think?). The coffee was burnt. The smoothie was excellent and refreshing. Everything was very reasonably priced. Customer service was great — drinks delivered with a smile and even a treat for our 4-​legged friend. I’d come back here over Starbucks.

I love the Filling Station. The choices are plenty and they have almond milk as an option. The servers are extremely friendly and almost always have a treat for my trusty sidekick, Roxie.
You do have to wait sometimes, but it is so worth it. I still haven’t made it through every drink option, but I will keep trying.

Ya! We had to drive a bit but we finally found some amazing Bako coffee!
5 stars all the way!
Friendliest service, great coffee if you have a few minutes to wait while it is assembled fresh for you and if you have a pup with you, free dog biscuits!
I found the prices more than reasonable too.
Cute establishment — we went through the drive-​thru today but I am also curious about the coffee shop itself. Next time. Lots of menu choices for coffee and tea.
Service with a smile is so rare these days — you will find that here.
Hubby loved his Americano (the coffee beans really had great depth of flavor) but
wow, I have to recommend the Mexican Mocha!
Will return, probably tomorrow!
