We chose this large city location thanks to easy parking and a convenient stop on our drive. It was a beautiful morning, which was easy to enjoy thanks to the high ceilings, big glass windows, and open main door. The first floor has a central counter to order food and drinks; the glass cabinet has a bunch of rotating pastries from a local bakery. They have restrooms and a merchandise area here too. At the front are counter seats along the front window, and also a horseshoe that looks into the roasting area, which is a great place to smell the beans. There's an upstairs loft that overlooks the cafe below, also with a test kitchen area and offices across to the front. They definitely have a larger business going on, and I can see why it's so popular. We ordered a latte, iced coffee, and various pastries to start our day. Prices were reasonable for the quality. All the baristas were friendly and fast to help.

As soon as I walked in, the staff greeted me right away. Everyone was so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. It's rare to walk into a place where the whole team is smiling, so I really appreciated that energy. I ordered the espresso citron tonic, and it came out in about 5-8 minutes. I'm a big espresso tonic fan, so my expectations were high and this one did not disappoint. It had a bright citrus flavor, was perfectly balanced, and wasn't overly sweet. I'd definitely come back again. Great service, great vibe, and great coffee!

Convinced Maddy to get a coffee and matcha version but hadn't really known what was in them. The coffee was very acidic and the matcha with the fizz was nice but the whipped cream was not for me.

Next time, I'd go back for the aesthetic and location but would definitely order a normal iced latte or coffee.

We were also able to get seats despite it being busy. My partner and I got the strawberry matcha cloud and yuzu matcha cloud, though we were also tempted by the seasonal ube flavors. Both were great - on the sweeter side, but that was perfect for a hot afternoon. We ate most of the yuzu foam like ice cream because it was so tall lol then we mixed it into the drink. I think that was a good call because if we mixed all the yuzu foam into the drink, it might have overwhelmed the matcha flavor. Overall had a great time visiting this cafe and enjoyed our drinks. Would definitely come back again to try other drinks on the menu!

Frankly, I was having a really rough day before stopping by and took more time than desirable to review the menu before ordering. However, this coffee spot was very patient and kind to me by checking in and listening. I ordered a Chai Latte, and it was the ideal balance of bold and creamy for me!

A group of us walked over from our hotel for breakfast. I had a toasted Everything bagel with cream cheese (plain is the sole choice) and jelly and of course a cup of their coffee.

It was my first time at Coffee Bodega and won't definitely be my last!…read more I was in the area for a meeting but wanted to grab a coffee and light breakfast before I went into the office. Coffee Bodega was just around the corner of my destination, and it was a 5 minute walk from the Embarcadero bus station where I made my stop. The cafe was located in a little alley way next to Tender Greens and an ice cream parlor. I was feeling the earthy vibe of the place. I could see how the place paid homage to South American cultures with their coffee and food (i.e. arepas, empanadas, and alfajores). As soon as I walked in I was greeted by the most welcoming barista, which honestly made my day. She went above and beyond with her friendliness, helpfulness, and overall hospitality. She knew that I wasn't a regular and kindly offered her recommendations of their salted maple latte and mushroom and cheese empanada. Both items did not disappointed. The salted maple latte hit the spot, but the empanada was particularly the showstopper. Can't wait to try their other empanadas next time.

This coffee shop is at a very busy intersection, right by Battery and Market.

While the storefront seems pretty welcoming on the outside, I could say otherwise about the customer service side of things. I was soon met not just with unwelcoming hospitality, but also, utter rudeness while ordering my coffee. I felt rushed, and when I asked about the pastries, all the one person that ordered it was: "this is what we have." I'm asking you to specify the pastries because... I GENUINELY don't know what they are? Like we're not experts at pastries compared to baristas that know their stuff -- let alone some random customer like me who doesn't know the name of EVERY pastry. Eventually, after that, I ordered the croissant and a cortado, and both tasted wonderful. The croissant was flaky and very buttery, and the cortado was a great combination to it as well. Ambiance isn't too bad -- there's small tables, but also, very spacious seating on the window side of the seating where there's a bar and more. I'll be back, but please treat your guests in a more courteous way, please -- it goes a long way.

One of my favorite cafes in FiDi…read more I like the vibes here. Mostly ample seating, except when it gets super busy. I usually get their grab and go items and enjoy them inside. The salads are fresh. I've also had the pesto pasta salad a few times. Only thing is I believe the pesto is made with pistachio and arugula, but not any basil. I much prefer pesto made with basil. I mean, it's not really pesto if it's not made with basil. At least not in my book, and I think most Italians would agree. The Roasted Salmon Filet was a bit on the dry side, but they do use loch duart salmon My friends like their coffee, but I can't personally speak to that. It's definitely not inexpensive, but you're probably paying for the location, and I must admit I always just like hanging here. The main downside for me though is the VERY limited street parking in the area. No fault of the business, just fact.
