I was here about a year ago..I still give 5 stars. The only critique I have is perhaps flip your order/serve stations.It just seems like it would be more natural to me to walk in at the ramp and order then continue walking into the store to pick up your drinks. Today I watched about seven people lined up on that ramp waiting to order before was mentioned that they have to go through the crowd of people waiting for their drinks to the other side to get in line to order their drinks. I just think it would cause a lot less confusion and maybe frustration of customers if you were to flip those two areas

On the road and looking for a place that didn't have a green mermaid logo for some coffee in the morning. Bodacious Brew came up on the search.First note, it is a little off the beaten path, so if you're traveling from the interstate, it will be about 20 minutes total out of your way. There is a parking lot next door to the building, but it was unclear if coffee shop patrons could actually park there or not.The shop itself is cute. If you were going to spend some time just hanging at the coffee house, it seems like a good place to read, work, or just pass the time.The coffee was good. Both my husband and I didn't think the flavors we had added were very noticeable, but that didn't take away from the flavor of the coffee.Staff were friendly and fast.

Love the mocha and blueberry scone. Lovely outdoor ambiance and great service. I love the downtown Janesville, Wisconsin. It feels you in France.

Great coffee shop with awesome ambiance. We sat upstairs in their cozy lounge area. Plus a specialty gift shop connected is a bonus.

While the food was good the front end service was horrible. No acknowledgement when you walk in, no eye contact. Stood at the counter with two staff members within less than 5 feet and I finally said "Hi, can I order?" Placed order no dialogue at all. Was asked if I had membership and said no first time here. So was handed a buzzer and no explanation of drinks being right up. So we went outside and waited. Buzzed in about 10 minutes food was sitting on counter where anyone could have grabbed. Went to grab two drinks and one was ready one wasn't. I asked and was curtly told I'm working on that now. So when drinks are done one was clearly a small not a large. Too bad they can't have staff upfront that greats customers because the food was good. Next time I will go to Citrus. A couple of blocks down and clearly engage with customers.

Went here for a first time after hearing TONS of good things about Bodacious Brew, and I gotta say, I was not disappointed! Abby at the front took our order, and I asked her if I could take pictures for my Yelp review, and she said yes - THANKS, ABBY!!! This place has TONS of seating, and it's very cool. When we went it was 3:30, and there was a sign out front saying that they were closing at 4:00, so that was unfortunate, because I felt like we had to leave fairly quickly, but luckily, we only got coffee and a pastry, so it's not like we got too much that we couldn't really finish. I got a hazelnut mocha with oatmilk (the oatmilk is a DOLLAR extra, which seems excessive to me?) chiller (anything frozen is caller a chiller here), and my mom got a fall spice latte, and both of these items were really, really delicious. We also got a raspberry pastry, which was also scrumptious! I thought it would just be okay, but it surpassed my expectations by a LOT! I was impressed. I definitely want to be coming back here again, even if they are making people pay for substituting dairy milk or being lactose intolerant. Well worth it!

I absolutely love coming to this place! The matcha chiller is my go to drink here and it's great every single time! Baristas are always super friendly and super quick to make drinks. They have outdoor seating yearlong and upstairs seating as well! Super chill place if you're looking to just hang out and grab some drinks with friends or have a meeting. Love this place!!

I really love this coffee shop... coffee, food, location, outdoor space, and even indoor atmosphere. However, I had about taken it off my list because their hours have too many times been posted on the door as different from anywhere published online. Today I decided to give it another shot... was really craving the quiet spot along the river to pound out a ton of work. Google said they're open until 5pm, and Yelp said until 4pm, so I took the risk and drove from 50 minutes away. Aaaaaand they're closing at 2, which gives me just an hour instead of what I thought.... I would NEVER have driven here for an hour. I really am probably taking this place off my list of options at this point. When places constantly change their hours or just close early on random days, your customers can't count on you! :/

I've stopped into this joint a couple of times. It's very close to a regular biz haunt I frequent in the neighborhood. The barista I had on my last visit had significant attention to detail even though I was just after a cold brew with heavy whipping cream. Also, it's plus that they have heavy whipping cream, rather than just half & half. It's a premium condiment and a classy touch. There is really nice outdoor seating overlooking the River as well. Other than coffee, there is a cafe and ice cream menu. Also of browsing interest, there's a walk through to a fancy oil, balsamic and kitchen doodads shop. Im just learning about Janesville... this is a worthwhile stop. Shop local, coffee and all!
