    a fun and busy environment on a saturday! this place is HUGE. A little pricey for sandwiches but delicious food and a good espresso martini!

    Iced Matcha Latte

    Great spot with such a welcoming atmosphere! Every time I've visited, the staff has been incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely makes you feel appreciated as a customer. Their service is quick and they consistently get my order right. My favorite drink is the matcha latte right now, it's smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. It's become my go-to whenever I'm in the area.

    We ordered sandwiches to go but I wish we could've stayed to enjoy to ambiance! Lots of great food options. The one I got with the chicken cutlet probably would've been better eaten right away when it was still crispy but the flavor was still great! And the chicken salad sandwich was a winner with us.

    Latte's Favorite Cookie

    Minus two stars for the unpleasant barista today! Maybe she was having a bad day or something, but she was definitely not personable. While making my latte, I asked if she could make it iced (I didn't specify at the register) and she answered as if I should already know that it comes iced. On the other hand, my latte was so good. Small size was about $8 after tax. I finished it in less than 10 minutes.

    Was looking for a cute place with an outside seating to sit with my dog. Drove by and had to circle back. It's bright and vibrant colors drew me in. I saw a large patio porch seating so I wanted to see what was up. It had a cool drive-thru and even a walk into order window. It gave a very beachy vibe and there was plenty of space for dogs to sit on the patio with water bowls. We ordered at the counter and were met graciously by all staff. We were explaining the menu and we finally made this decision from all the wonderful choices. We went with the chick flick which was noted to be the owner's Grandma's special recipe. I opted a different type of bread so we got the sourdough instead of the New York kaiser roll . The Kaiser will probably would have been great but we didn't do it because of allergies. So they are easy to work with for allergies and dietary restrictions . Decker of course got his pup Cup from staff which was very nice of them. He met a bunch of other customers who are really friendly as well and there was even a permanent jewelry maker outside doing her thing. They had a lot of interesting drink choices to choose from and breakfast items too! The sandwich was huge and enough for two meals. We also got a nice big glass of ice water. Will definitely make a note of this place for breakfast sandwiches to try. Highly recommend!

    Mixed greens salad with chicken cutlet and ranch

    Had a great lunch at Bodega. Seat yourself at the time I went, patio, and friendly service. I had a mixed greens salad with a chicken cutlet and ranch dressing. Chicken cutlet was crispy and tender. Great flavor. Ranch was good too. I had a strawberry match for dessert and that was also worth it. Emily is an excellent server!

    Loved this place! It was so cute inside! I also appreciated the gluten free options. I got the turkey sandwich on their gluten free bread, and it was so good!

    Balance Bowl

    Bodega should be the next place you visit for brunch! I visited while waiting on my appointment at the Apple Store. I got a glass of their fresh squeezed OJ which I can't get enough of. I decided on the balance bowl for my meal and I couldn't have made a better choice. The bowl was cooked to perfection and packed full of flavor. Service was also top notch! Beware that seating is a tad limited , but they have another location in mount pleasant.

    Amazing salad. Sweet tea is on point! Right near the visitors center. Get fueled up before you explore the city.

    Chopped Cheese Sandwich

    We really wanted to like this place but it was disappointing. The drinks were not as good as the descriptions. While the sandwiches looked tasty, they were dry and bland. It was also hard to enjoy them with all the flies! Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

    Amazingggggggggggg Bacon Egg & Cheese!! ( The Bodega Classic) I added the Taylor Ham for a little flair!! Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, took a bite & it transported me right back to Queens, New York! 10/10! I love the murals on the walls! They've got cute NY inspired merch too! The girl who helped me was super nice! I'll def be back when I visit Charleston!

    Apple pancakes

    I want to be very clear, I came to Charleston to eat. Bodega delivered on that challenge. I started off with a cinnamon brown sugar latte. It was delicious. Not too sweet and the whipped cream on top was perfection. Next came my breakfast sandwich. I went with the classic. I added avocado and ham. It was full of protein and flavor. I really enjoyed the softness of the bread with cheesy goodness that meshed very well with avocado. Our server was extra attentive and delivered all of our food piping hot. The spotlight was the pancakes though. We went with the apple flavored toppings and it was like a nice warm fall day on a plate. I left stuffed and ready for a walk, just the way I like it.

    The breakfast sandwiches and the smoked salmon sandwich were great. We also tried the groupfather sandwich, which comes with chicken breast and pesto. Unfortunately, the chicken was dry and tasted like it might have been leftover--it didn't seem fresh. I should have checked the food before leaving, as I believe the staff would have gladly fixed the issue. They were very nice and attentive overall.

When I first entered I told her I had made the mistake of choosing "outdoor patio" for our reservation (90% humidity) which she told me "not problem, we went ahead and got you an indoor table", AMAZING. My husband got the Coastal Cola (like drinking a Coca Cola while eating boiled peanuts...really, and it's amazing). For dinner we split the following Tier 1 Tower - The oysters were fresh, the smoked amberjack pate was clean and filling, and the peel and eat shrimp were flavorful. For my husband's second beverage he ordered a "Loaded Hamms" (not on the menu but they'll know) with their homemade hot sauce. Smoked Bird Island Oysters - OMG it was so simple yet so flavorful and fresh. They make their own hot sauce which is very flavorful with a touch of spice. We loved it. Charcoal Grilled Royal Reds - The eggplant puree with like a Baba ghanoush but with a little more flavor and pizazz. The shrimps were so tender and again flavorful. For desert we split the corn ice cream with blackberry jam and graham cracker crumbles. It was amazing. We highly recommend "The Ordinary"; the food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional.

I remembered enjoying it during my first stay, so naturally I had to return. This time around I stopped by twice during our two-night stay. On my first visit, I was tempted by the limited-time LoveShackFancy collaboration and ordered the Pistachio Rose Matcha Cloud Latte. It sounded amazing: house-made pistachio rose syrup, your choice of milk, topped with fluffy matcha cold foam and rose petals. Unfortunately... it was way (way) too sweet. And this is coming from someone who usually likes sweet drinks. At $10, I powered through it, but it definitely wasn't for me. My friend ordered another one of the collaboration drinks and did not finish hers because it was overwhelmingly sweet. Thankfully, my second visit redeemed everything. I went back to an old favorite - an iced matcha latte - and it was just what I was hoping for. Service was excellent during both visits. While the cafe seems to remain pretty popular, it wasn't overwhelmingly crowded. I still love the atmosphere here. It's such a great place to grab a drink before heading out to explore Charleston or while staying at the Emeline. Lesson learned: sometimes the specials are worth trying... and sometimes it's best to stick with your favorite!

Luckily, we were able to be seated immediately but it was very close quarters with surrounding tables. The menu is vast with different dessert options. If you want to know what cakes are available, you should check out the display stand right when you enter. Since we were there 2.5 hours before closing, there didn't seem to be a lot of cake options available, but my husband and I decided to share a slice of the s'mores cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to make it à la mode. The s'mores cake was a chocolate cake with mini marshmallows, chocolate fudge, graham crackers, and more marshmallows. The cake was good and had everything I could ever want in it, but it was a little dry. I think this also had to do with it being the end of the night. The ice cream complemented the flavor well. It would have been better with a second scoop of ice cream though. Service was great! It took about 10 minutes from when we ordered to get our dessert.

That's the best thing I could say about our experience. The food, pricing, service, and ambiance all fell below average. When you are located downtown with so many great dessert options around, you really need to step up your game. We will not be returning.
