I worked nearby for two weeks and tried pretty much every coffee spot on this street. Coffee Bodega turned out to be the best one. Nice little place small, but it looks really good inside. The staff was great too: friendly, helpful, and answered all my questions. read more

Small. Apparently the best coffee in SF. one person making all the drinks so the wait can get long. There is some seating inside but because it's a small space, you'll be sitting with the incoming line which can just be plain awkward. I appreciate the speciality coffee but the wait wasn't worth it for me. And there's barely any room for people to exit while the line is forming. A better layout is needed. read more

The beef empanada was super yummy! The wait was quite a while, I wouldn't mind during a warm day. Be prepared for many people in passing while waiting, the location is at a busy intersection. read more

Nice cozy coffee spot in the corner. Absolutely love the latte I got but I wasn't fan of the empanadas. I tried the mushroom cheese one. Either way, it was a cute experience and I will recommend you to check it out! read more

Took a long time to get 2 empanadas and a pour over. Guy behind the counter wasn't very friendly - gave off cold vibes. The establishment itself was nice, clean, and had plenty of seating both inside and out. The pour over was okay, but nothing was outstanding, especially given the prices. read more

Coffee Bodega - salted maple latte - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - San Francisco, California

Nice and warm inside. Not a lot of seating, but we were able to find spots on the bench. Very busy here around noon. Good variety of creative lattes. They were sold out of the Mango Latte (which has coffee in it), so I had a tasty Sweet Maple Latte instead. read more

Lively cozy little spot with lemon trees and gigantic plants. Roma, the Barista was very kind and calm. They can make empanadas by the order. Nice furniture. read more

Bodega Coffee is my happy place. I came in wanting a maple latte but less sweet--until Roma, the really sweet Russian guy who always works here, gently advised me not to mess with perfection. I took his word for it, and he was absolutely right--it's now my favorite drink. Perfectly balanced, warm, and comforting without being overly sugary. Everyone here is super friendly, and the space itself is cute and cozy with genuinely good vibes. Whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or settling in for a bit, it just feels good to be here. Thanks Bodega (and thank you Roma!) for keeping my caffeine ritual delightful. read more

Great coffee and great people. Highly recommended. They have a nice assortment of pastries as well; they look wonderful but I haven't tried. read more

This used to be my favorite local coffee shop, but after this morning I won't ever be back. I came in with my dog, who has been there many times, and a tall dark-haired employee (who refused to give his name) asked us to leave. I informed him she is a service animal and I explained that the service she provides is necessary for my health as she notifies me. He responded by still asking us to leave because she was "sniffing." This is against CA state law and was handled very poorly. They discriminate against individuals with disabilities!!! read more

Coffee Bodega is an excellent new coffee shop with tasty fresh empanadas. The gentlemen working is delightful and I love coming here as a local. read more

The empanadas are FIIIRRREEE -- perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and absolutely worth every single penny!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

My partner and I checked out this new coffee shop in the Marina on a Friday morning. Looks like they have a couple other locations in FiDi. It was quite busy with a lot of folks waiting and only one person working there. We got a matcha latte and a mango latte. We also got a carne asada and spinach and cheese empanada. There are comfortable chairs/sofas to sit on while you wait! The drinks were okay - the matcha latte was just fine and the mango latte was a bit tart. But WOW the carne asada (ground beef) empanada was I think honestly the best empanada I've ever had. Perfectly flaky with savory filling inside. They have a ton of different types (both meat and veggie options) but definitely try the carne asada if you're a meat eater! read more

Fantastic oat milk latte prepared with care; attractive and cozy space and outside tables. My new favorite coffee spot.

Love this place. Some of the best coffee I've had in the city, and they always have a fun seasonal menu. The empanadas are incredibly delicious! A nice unique coffee shop experience, and lovely staff! read more

Super friendly service & tasty empanadas baked to order! And a great corner to people watch while enjoying your coffee.

Friend & I needed a quick bite before we met up with another friend for a long walk. My friend spotted empanadas lined up in the glass case, waiting to be baked to order!!!! I had the spinach and cheese, YUM, and my friend had the egg & cheese, also YUM. The test is the eggs , they were fluffy, FLUFFY, inside this thin pastry shell. Clearly they knew the exact minutes to baked these beauties because they were just cooked inside, warmed through. My spinach and cheese had nutmeg, pepper, salt, onions, I didn't taste garlic, but flavors were perfectly balanced, not too salty. Good for Union St to get a couple of good fast/casual dining options. So glad to know they're open early. Guess where I'm stopping to pick up lunch before I head to work? Coffee Bodega - highly recommend. read more

Coffee is delicious and Roma, the barista, is always friendly. Great place to relax by yourself or with a friend over coffee.

Delicious coffee and food, good service, and beautiful aesthetic. I love this place for a little boost in my day!

listen. idk who was leaving reviews here but these are the best empanadas ive ever had in my life. not only that but carlos, the greatest business owner in san francisco in my opinion, let me order *after* they closed. now - im fun and cute so don't go here expecting that. but what you should expect is the greatest bolognese, ham and cheese, or bbq pork empanada in your life. bro i don't even like hot sauce and i threw hot sauce on bc they recommended it and omfg it just blends so perfect. this was perfect!!! i have no notes. i wish i lived here i would come all the time. i even had a coffee that my friend molly ordered for me and i don't even like coffee and i liked it. idk what's happening here but wowwwwww read more

Clean, comfortable space to be in, good service. Personally really enjoy the salted maple latte and they have great empanadas as well! Will keep coming back! read more

As soon as we walked in, we were immediately met by an angry man, who seemed to be the owner, who demanded that we leave because we had our 7lb dog with us. I calmly explained that I have diabetes and that my dog is trained to detect low blood sugar, but he aggressively responded, "I DON'T CARE, GET OUT!" The café was completely empty, making his hostility even more baffling. Shortly after, another man approached me and mentioned that the employee/owner was violating the law and could face consequences for mistreating individuals with disabilities. Needless to say, I will never return to this place. read more

The owner is scary. He's seemingly so pissed off with who knows what, the past review of the lady with the dog did not surprise me whatsoever. That's basically all I can say. It's a basic gentrified coffee shop with plants, minimal seating, and seemingly mediocre coffee. They're so boujee, they don't have any syrups to choose from either - just raw sugar and Splenda. I got matcha today, it was alright considering a quarter of it was foam and in my books a mediocre $7, 12 OZ matcha latte just doesn't cut it. I unfortunately don't think I would return here. read more

Passed by this coffee shop on our way to Fort Mason. Empanadas are tasty! A little let down by their house coffee (very watered down.) Flat white was decent. Will come back for the empanadas, probably not the drinks. Prompt service. Seating area is small but it wasn't crowded even on a weekend. Nice location. read more

This place has very good hot chocolate and empanadas. I come here alot. I highly recommend it.

I liked the efficiency with the self service kiosk. The 12oz iced latte was perfect ratio with coffee not feeling watered down. The shop itself was very cozy. read more

This comment section is full of virtu seeking victims. The pour overs are great and the guys who work there are perfectly nice.

The Mandarina Brava is a must try. Amazing coffee and food, my favorite spot on Union!

I've been to this location many times before and always left satisfied with my drink choices, from their pour over La Pastora, Cold brew or when I want to switch it up the Mandarina Brava. ( Tangerine Juice w Double shot of espresso) read more

Best coffee in the Bay Area! Their pour over is excellent. And they offer some of the best empanadas, cooked on the spot. Friendly staff, too, and comfy chairs. read more

Adorable shop and cute add to Union Street. Had a coffee meeting here today and both beverages were great (cold brew and iced chai). The gentleman working the counter was lovely and recommended empanadas to carry out which were fantastic. read more

Absolutely love this coffee shop and the energy it has brought to our neighborhood! If you like not too sweet lattes this is your place! The raw honey cinnamon latte is amazing. Also very cute place to hang out with friends and catch up over a cup of coffee! read more

Extremely rude staff! Go to Wrecking Ball down the block, way better coffee and atmosphere. They need to figure out how to treat customers and dogs better! read more
