Buena Bodega

Love love love! From the aesthetic to their perfectly curated menu. I’ve been here a number of times and get something different from the menu every time. So delicious! My only critique is the service at the food counter can improve in terms of calling out names more than once and at a louder volume, keeping patrons updated on wait time, order status, etc. The grocery/market items are exceptional!

This coffee shop and little market is a piece of art. The entire thing. There are all kinds of lovely, gourmet food items and snacks, and the coffee and breakfast is amazing. It’s one of those places that you just like to look at the walls and smile. Thanks to Tessa.

Loveeee Buena Bodega! I’ve been a few times, and each visit I appreciate it a bit more. It truly has a community focused atmosphere. The staff is kind and helpful, and I love the family-friendly vibe. Their stock of yummy goods are unique and fun, and I love the variety of drink selections. Their cafe is delicious!! Shout out to their lox bagel and iced lattes! Wishing them all the success. Thanks for what you’re adding to our sweet city. I’ll be back again!

Stopped by Buena Bodega for their soft opening and absolutely loved it. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. Great ambiance, good vibes, natural lighting, and the music was on point. Tessa, the owner, introduced herself and was so kind and warm, which made the experience feel even more special. I even made some friends while sitting by the window area. It truly feels like a community hub, and I’m really looking forward to their future events. I ordered the bodega chopped bagel on everything and my usual iced vanilla latte with bonus points for the crushed ice. Both were delicious. This is such a great addition to the Midtown neighborhood. The space is spacious, has restrooms, WiFi (SNACKS1803), and a thoughtfully curated selection of local and specialty goods, plus beer and wine. It is perfect for families, students, people working remotely, or anyone grabbing a coffee and bite. There is also seating area outside for four-legged friends. I am a sucker for merch, and the branding does not disappoint. Anytime I see Comfort Colors, I know quality matters, and that means a lot to me. Parking was easy too, with their own spaces and plenty of nearby street parking. Can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend. Current temporary hours are 8am to 2pm and closed on Mondays.

I went on their opening day (soft opening) and overall it was a very good experience! Longer line, as expected and I thought that was a good thing! Staff was attentive and you can tell no detail was spared in the interior and branding. Good selection of provisions, although I did expect a larger selection. Lots of cute additions for kids including mini shopping carts, letter magnets and free ice cream! I got the avocado toast and an iced latte. The toast had really good flavor- I especially liked the hot sauce- but the “poached” egg was more on the boiled side and I had to wait 20 minutes for it. I rode my bike and didn’t notice any bike racks, so I had to park across the street. No issues that won’t have me coming back though! Great to have something like this in the neighborhood!
