I try coffee consistently from all over. When I am budgeting, coffee is the last pleasure to cut. Bodega is so incredibly high quality in every way that it is hard to get coffee anywhere else. The service is incredible. If they don't remember my name, they remember my face and now order. They recommend drinks they think I would like and have very friendly conversations that are enjoyable without being overbearing. Their service is a stand-out and I think if I could pick one place that has the kindest service it would be Bodega. The coffee and food doesn't disappoint either. The za is one of my favorites and always a must have when I see it out. Their chicken salad is also one of my favorites. Their lattes are incredible and their espresso is bold and strong which I love. I always get their coconut dream latte and am usually fixated on flavors I love; however, the baristas have convinced me a few times to try other flavors and they are all incredible. The wait is longer but it is well worth it and matches the atmosphere of slowing down and staying present. It is an experience with this coffee spot and I always look forward to going! Thank you for all...

They use quality ingredients, fair pricing, and filtered water—which you'd be surprised isn't always the case elsewhere. The staff is friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in their craft.
My palate is used to great coffee from Chicago, California, and Italy, and I can confidently say Bodega holds its own. It’s that good.
The shop itself is super cute, with plenty of parking and a cozy outdoor area that’s perfect for catching up with a friend or just enjoying your drink in peace. I haven’t tried their food yet—it’s not what I come for—but the coffee is so good I’ll happily drive an extra 20 minutes for a cortado + iced americano. NO REGRETS
Honorable mentions go to Small Town Coffee in Crown Point and Grindhouse (mainly for their sandwiches).

Read moreTook my wife there today was a few a minutes after 1. The website and the door said they closed at 2. As I began to open the door several people screamed at us that they were closed at 1. One guy pulled the door out of my hand and slammed it shut and was laughing as he did it. I have been there 4 times this week was a regular customer but now I will find another place. I am still shocked that they would treat a customer like that and I even always went above on the tip even though the coffee was a maybe depending on who made it. The other day the girl was sticking her nose in the milk looking for the Oatmilk she said she couldn’t tell which one it was because they put in glass jars and don’t label which is pretty stupid because what if you get them mixed up some people can’t have...
