The last time we went through my kid had a meltdown because they were out of blueberry muffins. Unprompted, the drive through attendant offered a free cinnamon role to calm our little one down. Refuge always goes above and beyond and any complaint would be unwarranted.

My husband had the Doncaster - Salted Butterscotch Oat Draft Cold Brew, and I had the Voodoo - Peanut Butter Chocolate Espresso Latte ($6.50 each). Both were very tasty although my husband's needed a good stir since a lot of the flavoring had settled at the bottom. I was looking at the paper menu when I ordered, so I thought the Gold Rush ($9) was a really interesting bagel when it's actually a bowl of oatmeal. A bit disappointing. My husband had the Avocado Toast ($9), a solid breakfast option. The interior is very nice with ample seating. Can't wait to make it out to CP again and have another opportunity for coffee at Fluid.

They use great ingredients, fair pricing, and you can actually taste the difference in quality. The team behind the bar is always welcoming, quick, and you can tell they care about what they're serving. I've been lucky to sip coffee in some big coffee cities, and Bodega holds its own with the best of them. The drinks are consistently smooth, balanced, and made with intention. The shop itself is inviting--easy parking, a cozy setup, and a sweet little outdoor area that makes it perfect for catching up with a friend or just slowing down with your latte. If you're hunting for a spot that truly "gets it" when it comes to coffee, Bodega deserves a place on your list.

This place had a great selection of vegan food for those who are particular as well as plenty of other great food items. I was blown away by their blind date smoothie. Highly recommend adding in their sea moss as well! Their smoothie prices and even the food was pretty well priced was worth too. Stay after was above and beyond. Single stall restrooms. Fair amount of dining space with board games as well to play. There's a little shop where I could buy a variety of items as well. Overall, we were overall highly satisfied with our visit!

Everything I see says 7. I'm going to leave an actual review . I didn't try their ice cream or drinks. The overall look of the place is super cute. I'm sitting on a clamshell type chair right now and don't want to leave, it's super comfortable. I'm also listening to good ol' Guns and Roses so my Gen X heart is happy. I bought a few of their specialty doughnuts they are 3.85 each and I bought some regular yeast, and cake doughnuts, those are 2.99 each. They have specials for a dozen like everywhere. They were so very nice! I went when it was slow. The two people working were very helpful. All in all I bought 6 doughnuts. 1. Nutella 2. Boston cream 3. Caramel cheesecake 4. Pistachio old fashioned 5. Blueberry old fashioned 6. Chocolate frosted I ate the Boston Cream while writing this. It's a pretty good doughnut and super fresh. The biggest thing I noticed about the doughnut was that it was sweet but really not sugary if that makes sense. (Now they are playing Journey! Don't stop believing! Yes cliche white chick singing the chorus like a mad woman) it was just perfect for a cup of coffee. I really liked my choice. I'll be curious what my hubby thinks when he tries the old fashioned ones and when we split the other specialty doughnuts!!! Time to go home and I'm exiting listening to Aerosmith Dream On. I'm digging the vibe of this place.
