Bodhi — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Thought I'd check this place out after visiting the Farmer's Market across the street. Waited outside on the to-go line for quite a bit. There were only 2 people in front of me, one guy who says he's there everyday and is friendly with the counter guy (who disappears for a while, perhaps helping customers inside? No biggie). As it's my turn, some other guy comes moseying on up and chatting up his friend "Marco" behind the counter and before I know he's infront of me getting served first! You ever get the feeling that it's smiles all around for the regulars and then there's YOU? I finally get up to order: one plain and one chocolate croissant. Get home and find two chocolate croissants in the bag 🙄 WITH SALT ON TOP. Yeah, I get it, you're going for the salty/sweet thing but let's NOT on a chocolate croissant. I'll go ahead and stick to J'aime French Bakery on 12th from now...

Bodhi Coffee is simplistic yet tasteful in its decor, mellow enough if you need a place to get work done, and boasts a full variety of teas, coffee beverages, cookies, and even a few breakfast items (bagels, croissants, etc.). The baristas are friendly and I was warmly greeted upon my entry. Upon glancing over their menu, I settled on just a regular hot coffee (can't go wrong with that!), and was delighted to see that if you opt to purchase your coffee to stay (rather than to go), you are entitled to free refills! Great for mornings when you need more than one cup of coffee to...

The drip coffee was ok, plenty of other shops have much better, and the almond croissant is from a local bakery that sells to many coffee shops. My issues deal with cleanliness. I like to support small businesses but refuse to go back if the place is poorly maintained and dirty. The floors were filthy, even though it was morning, and wall surfaces have numerous stains. There are signs on the table asking you to bring your dirty dishes to the counter. The attendant occupied himself with his smartphone the entire time I was there. This place is way too shabby...
