Crema's Take
“Coffee Bodega's medium roast South American blend delivers the kind of balanced, approachable coffee that actually tastes better in their ceramic cups, making it an easy win before your BART commute or a leisurely afternoon. The real draw here is the genuine farm-to-table execution—housemade empanadas (pork, mushroom and cheese) and proper breakfast pastries that justify lingering with your cappuccino, though heads up that the owner enforces a no-nonsense atmosphere with strict policies on outside drinks and phone calls. It's spacious and genuinely cozy if you respect the vibe, perfect for regulars who want a quality snack and coffee without the performative third-wave coffee shop theatrics.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu.

See all on Google →Very good medium roast S AMERICAN BLEND latte before afternoon BART ride. They have ceramic cups! Bodega 100 feet from Embarcadero entrance.
Very spacious and relaxing place for a nice snack/treat and coffee. Owner Carlos was very kind. We very much enjoyed the mushroom and cheese empanada and our coffee and tea drinks. We’d definitely go back!!
I don’t recommend this place. It was quite sad from the moment we walked in they started making rules…”No outside drinks!”..”No long calls”…”No speaker phone” and all of this before ordering. For a place that didn’t have a lot of business they sure acted like their coffee was…
I come here with my husband all the time. The service is fast and friendly, and the place is clean and cozy. We usually get cappuccinos with alfajores or empanadas — always delicious!
After my appointment I was looking for a place to have coffee and nice surprise that I found Coffee Bodega. Great choices of small empanadas I had the pork so yummy and filling. Coffee little strong for what I am use to. Staff super nice.
