My family and I absolutely love everything about Dewars. Since my parents were born in Bakersfield and we visit extended family, we always try and make a Dewars run and enjoy a Black & White choosing ice cream flavors they handmake at the store. Although there are a few locations in Bakersfield, we always find ourselves at the original one on Eye St. Old fashion ice cream at an old fashion ice cream parlor is the best way. They have a counter with the round swivel chairs plus some tables, lots of ambiance since it's pretty much original. The ice cream is scrumptious and hand made, the nuts (almonds, walnuts and peanuts) are crushed finely which is great when sprinkled on their handmade marshmallow topping. By the way, their marshmallow topping is truly a treat. It's my husbands favorite topping at DeWars, try over-the-top for him. He loves it so much we have even bought some and brought it back to Orange County where we live. I love how they give you water in the old fashion plastic cups while you decide on your ice cream choice. Some may think the prices are high, but let me say it is well worth it!! � The area where the original store is can be sketchy looking, but we have never had an issue in all the times (which are many) we have visited. The place holds a fond place in my heart as my mom told me her story going to Bakersfield High School with the Dewar sisters (I don't think she knew them well) but since my mom passed away young her story Is very special to me as is Dewars. The homemade taffy is equally as wonderful especially the peanut butter. Really all flavors are worth their weight in gold. So if you are going to Bakersfield or driving through on your way to somewhere else, stop because you will be so happy you did. Nice thing is Eye St. is right off California Ave which is an exit off the 99 fwy and not to far from the freeway.

It was the first time for my in laws to come. Our server treated us and especially my father in law wonderfully. He will be 90 on Aug 24th and LOVES ice cream! It's great ice cream. I try to avoid sugar as much as possible but I loved the fact that I didn't get a sugar headache after eating my chocolate fudge/peanut butter treat. Highly recommend.
