How could I have not been here before?!! Finally back in this area and tried lunch today. My tuna melt was perfect! On sourdough bread, the tuna had the perfect amount of mayo and chopped veggies. Really delicious. The restaurant had patrons but not too busy to notice me staring down their menus. I was greeted promptly- my order was ready in no time. Very friendly and cozy place. A lot of options to choose from!

Still down on this place. I decided to give them another shot despite my gut telling me to go elsewhere based on my first experience. This time when I walked in I wasn't promptly greeted. Instead, the man behind the counter stared at me up and down as I approached the counter (profiling me). He eventually said hello, but at that point I felt dejected so I walked out. Not sure if he had ill intentions but based off my previous experience and this recent encounter, I'm going to scratch this cafe off my list of cafe options when I'm in the area.

Really wanted to like this shop and finally tried it today. This review sits at 2.5 stars but you know the deal and since we can't do 1/2 stars, 3 it is. Service was great! Quick, attentive, and friendly. Order & thoughts:Cinnabon latte: Horrible after taste - chemical like. Took 3 sips to get a sense if the first sip was just off but the whole thing was off. Dumped it down the drain.Snickers latte: Pretty good, like. 7.5/10.Berry Blue Smoothie: Way too sweet! Got two, one for each kiddo, and they didn't care for them.Oatmeal cookie: DRY AS A DESERT! Hard & dry and lacked flavor.Chocolate chip cookie: Okay but heavy handed on the saltTicket price: $45Won't return - just not enough to make me want to give them a 2nd try.

Lovely local coffee shop with excellent customer service! My friend ordered the lox with cream cheese on a bagel and an iced tea. I had the California bagel (bacon, avocado, cream cheese) on an everything bagel and a cup of dark joe. It was all very good and I enjoyed how the sesame seeds were toasted on the bagel. This is a quiet spot, perfect for studying or relaxing with a cup of coffee. While we were there, a lot of friendly locals stopped by to order lunch or enjoy a cup of coffee or smoothie with their friends.

Bodi's Java in Castro Valley is like that quirky friend who always has a new surprise for you. I popped in for a coffee, and I swear I ended up having a conversation with the barista that felt like I was discussing life, the universe, and everything. The caffeine might be strong, but the conversation was stronger!The décor is what I'd call "cozy chaos." It's like a jigsaw puzzle where every piece is a different shape and color, but somehow it all fits together in a wonderfully bizarre way. And don't get me started on their pastries - they're like edible stand-up comedy, a delightful twist on the classics. The reason for not giving them the full five stars? Well, sometimes I just want a straightforward cup of joe without the existential pondering, but who am I to deny Bodhi's its unique charm?

Good local coffee spot, not sure if it's a new place or not (seems like it changed ownership not that long ago). Ordered a latte, coffee w/steamed milk and two sandwiches. The bacon, pepperjack, and egg sandwich I had was pretty good, but definitely not worth the price tag due to its size. Four items ran me like $32, so certainly not cheap (or that's just market rate now, sadly). The coffee w/steamed milk was good and very hot, but that is a fairly basic drink, so hard to mess that one up. I saw a bunch of local people hanging out inside, so I like it has a small town appeal. But not sure I would be in a huge rush to come back to the sandwich pricing (coffee pricing seemed reasonable).

HEALTH VIOLATION!! Was excited to visit Bodi's as I used to work here and frequent it often years ago. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT! The two people working there did NOT wear gloves while preparing our food, and when I called the employee out on it, he apologized but still refused to wear gloves!! Absolutely disgusting. Also, everything was SO expensive and took so long to prepare. Will never return here.
