Coffee Bodega

I love everything about Coffee Bodega, from their ethically sourced amazing coffee and knowledgable, welcoming baristas to the relaxing atmosphere. I first stopped in a year ago, drawn in by their fun sandwich board marketing sign with beautiful photography from the coffee fields promoting "Pure Latin American Dope" and the disclaimer "Not actually dope. Just great coffee. So good, it doesn't need sugar". The owner was friendly and took the time to discuss the business and the origins of the coffee. Every drink I've had there has been amazing and unique, unlike so many cookie cutter coffee shops. Ariana at the Fremont Street location was especially personable and a pleasure to interact with at my last visit.

Coffee Bodega serves the best pour over coffee I’ve ever had. Every cup is perfectly brewed with rich, smooth flavors that stand out. The service is always top notch, thanks to Ariana’s friendly leadership and attention to detail. This spot is a must-visit for true coffee lovers.

Good single origin coffee. Ariana the barista was very friendly and kind

This place is awesome. I love the plant theme, the coffee is great, and Ariana is the best. She has created an awesome vibe where I feel like a regular (note that I am a regular) and it's pretty awesome to be greeted by name.

Baristas are really nice people. They treat me well every time I go and remember my name too! Really good people and coffee!

Amazing barista (Ariana), she always remembers our names and orders and is so friendly. Great empanadas and perfect coffee every time.

The barista was great, remembered our names for the week we were in SFO. Mocha is made with Ghirardelli chocolate. Espresso is great and made very well. They won’t even sell you the beans because they know what they have. I am a fan.

Grateful 🙏😊 & Excellent Coffee! Visiting from out of town, I met a friend for coffee late afternoon and was charging my cellphone, ended up leaving my charger 🤦🏻‍♀️. Called the next morning and they had it- of course- went to get it and another friendly barista made another amazing Americano for me. Super grateful for honesty, great service, fun coffee work place and excellent coffee! Thank you for holding my charger for me 😊

Ariana is the best and sweetest barista I have ever met- her coffee is incredible and the service is absolutely outstanding- we try and come here any time we get coffee and love seeing her!! One of the best for sure!!

Ariana was amazing! Amazing support, friendliness and all around stellar human being. She suggested a Salted Latte that was surprisingly terrific! I will definitely revisit this place. Ty, Ariana!!

Ariana is the best barista! Get coffee from her everyday! She always greats me by name and with a big smile!

Ariana at the 50 Freemont location is such a lovely person. She is warm, welcoming and friendly. I am new to SF and she gave me wonderful recommendations of things to do here. I have only been in twice, and she already knows my name. I will definitely be a regular here because of her - oh, and the coffee and food are also phenomenal!

Great, real barista coffee. Also very kind service. Noticed that the regular customers get greeted by name and their usual order is known. Edit: came here a second time and Ariana remembered both my name and order

Their La Canela latte is the best latte I’ve had in downtown SF, come here almost every morning for it. Their empanadas are delicious too.

Coffee Bodega is pretty legit for its vibe. He's got a catchy no cellphone policy in each store, definitely European. Their coffee blend is phenomenal and so is their hot chocolate. S/O to Oscar at the Fremont street location also. It's known for its empanadas and farm to table coffee beans.

Coffee Bodega serves some of the best coffee / lattes in San Francisco. Yes the price is a little higher and it takes a little bit longer than other coffee chains but the quality is top notch. Ariana, the barista, makes the effort to remember customer names and is really sweet. Highly recommend!

I've been coming here many mornings recently and really love it. Arianna is simply wonderful. She makes an effort to learn every regular patron's name within a few days. It's impressive to see her greet half the customers by name each morning. And, of course, the coffee and empanadas make for great daily drivers.

I ordered a small iced mocha $7 + $1 milk substitute, and it was the most expensive 12oz iced mocha I bought. I understand it’s in the financial district, farm to table business, but the price point isn’t for me. But anyway the iced mocha was really good. The coffee took a while as well, seeing he’s the only one working at that time. Even though I was the first person in line, it felt like I had to wait 5 minutes for my mocha. And that’s the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars.

Very friendly staff serving good coffee in a nice quiet space. Empanadas were expensive and not good quality for the cost, but other than that it is a very nice cute coffeeshop.

I recommend this place with a few reservations. first off, don’t come here if you are in a rush to get someplace else. The pour over coffee took longer than five minutes to get, but it was so smooth although I would’ve liked the coffee warmer. I saw the owner from afar and I understand what a couple of the reviews were referring to, yes, his personality is a little rough around the edges and standoffish. The person ringing me up, however, was helpful which I appreciated being that I was trying this place out for the first time. They ran out of the regular empanadas, but had the corn covered empanadas, which was good, but small for the price. I do like all the greenery in the shop and I think it’s a nice place to sit down and save that sip of coffee but not for an on the go morning.

I went to this place today to get a latte. Before I even put my things near a table, I was profiled and treated as an unhoused person. I was barked at by the male, Hispanic barista. I was told that I could not leave my luggage there. There were several customers nearby. I would urge you not to patronize this place. I was mistreated and profiled. No apologies were offered.

Though I'd give this location a try after having a terrible experience in the cow hollow Union St location, big mistake! It seems being incredibly rude to customers is a company value here. The male barista seemed exasperated at very regular coffee order details (iced / non dairy milk) then proceeded to make it wrong (hot). I kindly reminded him it was supposed to be iced and he threw up his hands without really offering to re-make it then proceeded to ring me up for a new drink?? A customer even took me aside outside after leaving to say how ridiculous it was. Having such consistent terrible customer service skills across multiple locations is honestly impressive and clearly a top down issue
