I went here 2 days in a row it was so good. I got the chili (with meat) - absolutely amazing. Sunrise tacos for breakfast. Definitely get the potatoes Cajun style. The best part of the restaurant is that it's made from scratch and you feel really good after you eat it. I wish more restaurants were like café bodega.. read more

The food was great and I love that it's organic! The service was overall really good and our server was so nice. They had super cute merch and the restaurant itself was so cozy and unique to Marquette which was so cool. I bought a crew neck and they had very reasonable prices. It was my first time at cafe bodega and I will definitely be going again!! read more

The atmosphere is great - cozy and cute- and it is obvious this is a beloved restaurant with locals. Our experience as tourists was just average. When we walked in, it was a good five minutes before we were greeted or given acknowledgement that we were standing there by the hostess station even though three staff members were an arm length away having a discussion. We were told the empty tables were reserved, so we sat at the bar. Later we were offered a table - seems several groups didn't show. The menu does warns patrons by thanking them in advance for their patience since everything is made from scratch - but the wait after we ordered was beyond excessive. After we had been waiting 40 minutes, I mentioned to the wait staff in a very kind way that I wondered how are order was coming along. She said, "We just don't throw things on the grill here." That being said, they do throw things in the deep fryer because the Brussels sprouts on our chopped salad were black and burnt. The rest of the food was just average at best. My daughter who is a marathon runner and typically a good eater, didn't even care to finish her breakfast burrito. My Cuban sandwich was on thin white toasted bread and mustard, mayo and Swiss cheese typically on a cuban didn't seem to be there. Plus, the pickles inside were of the sweet variety which was a jarring experience when one is expecting some sourness to cut through the pork and ham. I can't in good conscience recommend this place unless you have a lot of time to enjoy the ambience. Even if every dish is cooked right then, to order - some things could be prepped ahead of time. read more

Pulled into Café Bodega on a rainy Thursday morning and was greeted by an amazing aroma. The service came with a smile from everyone. The curry potatoes with my meal were totally on point and the portion size was enough to fill without stuffing. Definitely recommend read more

Café Bodega was one of the best places my friend and I stopped in our roadtrip around Michigan. Our waitress (also named Marissa!) was so sweet and extremely helpful with the menu. The food was fantastic, and you can tell the ingredients were really fresh and well prepared. I'm glad I followed a friend of a friend's suggestion to eat here instead of Yelp reviews. I would have been very sad to miss out on this great spot! read more

Café Bodega - tables and chairs in a restaurant - American Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

Had lunch here today. What a great time. The server was great. Attentive. Food was very good. The Turkey cheddar cranberry is good but I switched up to goat cheese. It was terrific! The goat cheese was calling my name. I loved it that way. There was also a cup of the soup. It was Italian vegetable. Lots of vegetables, but didn't taste any Italian chef. Add some pesto! Atmosphere is always good. read more

Hubby & I were in marquette for our anniversary trip. This place was AMAZING. Seated right away the two times we went over the weekend. Portion sizes are generous. The breakfast potatoes are SUPER YUMMY! I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich (both days). Hubby had the breakfast burrito one day and French toast the next. Real maple syrup. I enjoyed a mimosa with breakfast both days (think it was heavy on the OJ, lol). but, very tasty. Hubby had a blackrocks beer. Service both days was good. Seating was spaced well for covid. We were pleasantly surprised at how many people were wearing masks. If/when we return to marquette, we'll be back. read more

Very fast and friendly service. We were seated right away and had our drinks in a matter of minutes. The menu is unique and everything is fresh made so patience needed. It was delicious. The restaurant has a very nice feel it's spread out and doesn't feel crowded. read more

This is my 2nd time here and this place never disappoints, fresh & delicious food. The staff is friendly and helpful. ALWAYS get the potatoes! read more

We ordered a total of 6 meals. 3 were made incorrect. Chicken Ceaser Salad - no chicken Ginger Stir Fry with Chicken - no chicken Ham, cheese and mayo sandwich - no mayo When I went in to get my money back. They only offered to make me grilled chicken to go. Never going back! read more

Outstanding food! Recommend the raisin toast. Neat area of town to explore around the restaurant as well.

Sat for over 30 minutes after ordering a set of tacos for my husband and I to share that never came. Other tables around us were audibly wondering where their food could be also. read more

We came here for breakfast and it was very good. We both had the Huevos Rancheros, one with rice and one with chorizo. The add ons are worth it worth either way. read more

First off, there are signs throughout telling you it will take awhile to receive your food and the staff will also make it rather clear. So if you are not up to waiting 45 minutes, this isn't the place for you. I knew Bodega previously as The Sweetwater Cafe. The menu and recipes are almost the same. Staff was friendly. I was expecting a wait and was pleasantly surprised that my biscuits/gravy with extra eggs on top and Cajun spiced potatoes arrived quicker than expected. Delicious! If you are patient, it's worth the wait IMO. read more

I can not say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The food was excellent! Everything is homemade and takes a little longer, but that is part of its charm. The waitress checked on us several times while we were waiting. The building is located in an old school building. While you are waiting for the food, check out their little shop located right in the restaurant. Take a few moments to really take in the atmosphere and some of the hidden architectural gems. read more

An employee at Babycakes recommended this place to us. Lots of gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. I had the Ginger Stir-fry with chicken. The sauce was out-of this-world. Thing 1 enjoyed the Whitefish Tacos; she said, and I quote, "this is scrum-diddly-umptious." Thing 2 polished off the Pesto Grilled Cheese. Together, they intended to split the Breakfast Quesadilla; however the tortilla ended up being flour (I swear I checked the GF box), so most of it ended up in the trash. I loved that I could order online and Apple Pay. The wait was estimated at 30 minutes (#slow foodmovement) and it was curbside delivered in about 35. We ate it in the parking lot of Marquette Commons because we were hangry, and because that's normal now. If I could have one wish, it would be that the carryout packaging mirrored the sustainability messaging on their website. read more

Excellent breakfast. I was a little apprehensive since the rating was only 3 stars. Boy am I glad we stopped for breakfast. Great eggs, thick bacon delicious bread. And the coffee is pretty good too. I would definitely recommend this place near downtown Marquette. read more

We stopped in here passing through town after quite a few recommendations from colleagues. I ordered a burger and it was full of flavor: one of the best burgers I'd had in a long time. I even ate the avocado and I'm not a fan of it. Most everyone else had breakfast and the kids devoured everything. We even had to order an extra side of sausage to go because the kids loved it so much (it tasted like a normal patty to me, but the kids destroyed it). I will definitely return, maybe for tacos, next time I find myself in the area. I did feel the service was slow, but the food was so good I overlooked it. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast here this weekend! We were a party of 6, and they had no problem seating us. The coffee was strong, flavorful, and always full. The menu was divine - I wanted to try a few options but ended up with the huevos rancheros. It was so good! For one, they actually cooked my eggs over medium! Furthermore, they didn't skimp on the sauce and the plate was filling and well-prepared. Other items tried were: pancakes (fluffy), breakfast burrito (wasn't overly stuffed), and french toast. Everyone seemed to clean their plates and enjoy their meals! read more

Super cute cafe with warm and friendly service. The food was delicious, I recommend the Huevos Rancheros!! They happily accommodated my partner with a vegan breakfast veggie, potato and pesto dish that was super tasty. The overall atmosphere is very nice, I love all of the artwork and plants!! read more

Gluten Free & Vegan options! Almost the entire menu is Gluten Free! Make sure you specify when ya order, eh. This was amazing: Caesar Salad with Whitefish (ordered GF - no croutons). Romaine, tomatoes, lemon wedges, & legit Caesar dressing (not the mayo crud). This was awesome: Orbit Pesto sandwich (ordered it GF - delicious!). House made lentil grain patty, pesto, tomato, baby greens, Swiss & Thai garlic dressing. Friendly service. Chill atmosphere. read more

Café Bodega - We've been here 90 minutes, ordered 70 minutes ago, and where's our dinners? - American Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. This was the first restaurant that I had personally been in since March of 2020 and I'm so glad it was here! We were in town for a short winter break and really liked the food offerings and overall backstory that Bodega had online so we decided to check them out. They put right on their menu that things might take a little longer to reach your table as they prepare everything from scratch, but we seriously could not tell the difference from any other restaurant we've been in. Their bodega fries with Thai garlic dipping sauce are an absolute must if you like thick home cut fries with something other than ketchup. For my main meal I tried their bodega mac which was such a large portion that I had to take some with me and I was able to give my sister some too. It had a nice contrast between fresh and cooked vegetables and a healthy dose of cheese. Be sure to check out their sticker offerings when you go! read more

Came in for brunch this Sunday at 12:00. The restaurant was less than half full. The hostess said it would be at least a 30 minute wait. The party before us must have heard the same thing because they left. It seemed very chaotic. The owners need to step in as they are losing money and business. Too bad as the food did look good. read more

I ordered the chicken mole for dinner. I didn't know that it was possible to have undercooked mushy rice and dry refried beans. The chicken mole had no seasoning. read more

Won't ever be going back. Went for breakfast with friends and had a terrible experience. This was always our go to breakfast restaurant when it was Sweet Water but it has gone nothing but downhill since becoming Café Bodega. Food was just ok but overpriced and the service was terrible/slow at best. I'd recommend not wasting your time or money here. read more

Loved everything. Would recommend. Great variety of a good food and drinks. Loved that they had vegan and vegetarian options too.

Excellent! All of it! Worth the wait for table and was not disappointed. Great menu, service, atmosphere.

Service was attentive and food was fresh and yummy! Cool art, too! We'll be back!French Toast

Super yummy. Just takes an little longer to get food because everything is made from scratch, which is so worth it. We ordered the club sandwich and got a side of honey thyme Mayo (which you need to get a side of AMAZING) and an omelette and breakfast burrito. Everything was hot, fresh and yummy. Would definitely come back & our server was super nice!!!! read more

Definitely the best breakfast in town the potatoes are great but even better is the house made jelly for the toast.

We had a wonderful breakfast here. Server was very friendly. My wife enjoyed the biscuits and gravy.

Our server Maria was the sweetest and most kind! The food was divine and so flavorful , the cocktails were really yummy too, I got the sunrise mimosa and my boyfriend got the jalapeño pineapple mojito. Both were so good! The wait wasn't bad at all either especially since there are areas to walk around outside. Not sure why this place only has 3.5 stars, definitely is inaccurate for overall experience. I will be coming back next time in Marquette!!! read more

We came here while on vacation in Marquette and were not impressed. The atmosphere was cool but the service and food left a lot to be desired. Our waiter brought our check while we were still eating, never asked how the food was or if we needed anything else. Then hovered around our table as we left. Food was not great. The pancakes tasted like they were cooked in something salty and were dry. Biscuits and gravy weren't good, the biscuits were dry and the gravy tasted like cheese soup. My friend got the burrito with Tuscan potatoes. Burrito was flavorless and the potatoes were so over spiced and had red pepper flakes dumped all over them. Only good things were the Bloody Mary and the French toast. read more

Visiting from out of town, loved this breakfast spot! Got their BYO omelette, with tasty add ins like pesto! Huevos rancheros also deserve a solid shout out. Highlight for me was their house made bread-- absolutely amazing. Friendly service, tasty food, and they kept the (fair trade!) coffee coming-- what's not to like? read more

Got served a watered down espresso drink. I can deal with that. But I've now. Even sitting here for 60 + minutes waiting for breakfast for two. When we asked about our food we were told "it sometimes takes this long" No thank you. Won't be back, Bodega. read more
