Heavenly Bodega is amazing! I stubbled upon this spot one morning getting coffee and I was in love- the coffee is fantastic and the space is beautiful. I loved spending time on the patio! This actually led me to having my engagement party here - the space is a nice size and the vibe is great + I needed to check out the wine! We had a party of around 20, and the team was so easy to work with ahead of time and plan things out. The night was great - the team was so helpful and everyone loved the food! It's a gem! read more

First time here. Pastries were dry and had several gnats on and flying around it. Didn't see them until we already sat down. Went back to the counter and sure enough, they were all over the other pastries...ended up throwing them away. Also, we waited a long time for our ice teas. We thought perhaps they were brewing the teas first and then pouring them over ice and that was what was taking a while, but no...after helping other customers who came after us, we saw them take pre-made ice tea and pour them into cups and called our name. The employees were very nice and friendly. Update: thank you for the response from the owner. The gnats were on and flying around the pastries... and it was around 7:30pm, last night when we came by, so maybe that's why the pastries were dry. Would love to give it another shot and update my review. I bet I'll have a better experience in the morning! read more

It's in the name! Heavenly! What a sweet surprise, a unique ambiance to a busy little town right outside of downtown Sd near balboa park. We came here while our kids had prom and we loved every moment. From the food, to the staff, the little store and even the drink section with wine and beer. Not to mention lots of health options! Price is reasonable and the food was delicious! One guy even came to give us a sample of their cheese (forgot the name) This place is special Can't wait for the breakfast Acia's! read more

LOVE the concept of a wine and coffee bar, not really sure how many of these we have in San Diego! A friend of mine (a wine lover) suggested this place when I told her I like going to cafes and I'm glad she did. It seemed to be busy on the weekend as expected but there were a lot of available tables. They also have high bar tables making it an amazing place to work and study. I ordered a latte and it was great. Their pastry collection looked so delicious, maybe next time. They also sell packaged snacks, juices and other items at their "store". Their wine collection is also pretty amazing. They also have a lot of tables in their backyard which I completely missed Overall, I really like their concept and would come back again read more

BEST THING TO HAPPEN TO SD Absolutely loved Heavenly Bodega. Such a beautiful spot with amazing vibes, the most kind staff and everything tasted incredibly fresh. We got the croissants, fresh pastries, coffee, lattes, pizza, and açai bowl and every single thing was delicious. 10/10!! You can really tell they care about quality and presentation. The atmosphere was cozy, elevated, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to grab coffee, food, or just hang out. ALSO loved that it's more than just a cafe the market section with wine and specialty items made it feel so unique. Such a cute concept and definitely the kind of place you can spend time browsing around in. Definitely one of my favorite spots in San Diego already read more

Oh Heavenly Bodega, how I love you so! I'd gatekeep you if I could, but alas, the people deserve to know. Heavenly Bodega is a welcome addition to Banker's Hill, offering pastries, meals, and drinks alike. It is also a bodega in the upper crust sense of the word... rows and rows of high-quality snacks can be found here, along with a refrigerated section for meals on-the-go. There is also a huge back room / cellar, with all the wine your li'l heart could desire. Now, let's list out all the good & bad of this new hot spot: // DRINK: 5/5 I'm a pistachio girly myself so I almost ordered Day on the Hill Latte, but the counter person recommended the Bodega Latte, so I had to get the house latte, flavored with vanilla and a streak of saffron spice ("what is saffron?" I asked. "Here... smell," they responded, opening the spice tin before my inhaling nostrils). Normally at a higher-brow spot like this, I wouldn't expect the latte to be great. But out it came, latte art and all, adorned with that signature sprinkle of red from the saffron. And WHOA was I hit with the sweetness of vanilla; the spice from the saffron, and the strength of the coffee. This was a pleasurable drink, I'm so glad I got it. // AMBIANCE: 10/5 I wish every café in San Diego came like this: with an array of items, to order or ready-made, for any diet (I am gluten free and often dairy free, so having options is essential to me) -- but most importantly, with spaciousness and beauty to inspire my computer work, or a good read. The upfront area with the counter and table tops reminds me of a café I might walk in in New York, possibly due to the cherry wood and marble decor with high ceilings, industrial notes, and vast windows. Walk a bit further and you find yourself in an above-ground wine cellar. Now, I believe this place was especially made for its wine, and the staff makes me believe that! Seated outside, I heard one of the staff conducting a tasting with a couple who'd just moved into the neighborhood. He was highly engaged and engaging; truly knew his pours. I appreciate passion like that. Now, the back is truly worthy of awe; it's like I've escaped San Diego for a bit and was whisked away to a chateau in Italy, or France. The grassy courtyard; the tall building framing the courtyard; the sun peeking behind the walls to light your table, read, or meet-up. There are different types of seating for whatever floats your boat: two-seater tables; cushy low couch seats; tables for small groups and of course, the long communal one. I would spend all my days here, if not for parking (more below) // STAFF: 5/5 It's hard to find good service these days, so when it's good, it's great. Heavenly Bodega's staff was certainly kind, welcoming, and helpful. I heard them talk to neighbors who'd stumbled in to find out more about it; with me, they were so helpful in their recommendations, directing me around the menu. And not to mention, the wine taster guy I mentioned above; we love a passionate employee! (or owner? Not sure.) // THE ONLY BAD: PARKING So... it's no secret that San Diego is becoming the City of Parking Meters which, as a native, I despise! Banker's Hill is one of the worst-hit areas for this, being so close to Balboa Park (another great area they've metered). I don't exactly remember how much parking is, but I believe I paid near $1.25 or so each hour, which racks up quickly when you want to stay, work, and enjoy the ambiance. I'm not sure if there is unmetered parking nearby. For convenience sake, expect to pay for it. The inner neighborhood of Banker's Hill is usually booked up; I had luck parking along the main street that runs parallel to Balboa Park. // IN SUM I look forward to visiting this place with a gal pal or two, to catch up over wine, snacks, or another epic latte in the courtyard or -- if it's cold -- by the enormous windows up front. In fact, it is THE place I keep recommending to have catch-ups or workdays with my friends because it really just checks all the boxes. Thank you to the owners for opening up such a warm, gorgeous place in our city! read more

Heavenly Bodega is a new spot in Bankers Hill and it's so cute! They have a little shop inside and then a pastry counter and full kitchen as well. I just opted to get a latte and I went with their saffron vanilla flavor which was pretty good. They had a very large outdoor patio that was pretty well shaded too. I went on a Sunday around noon and it was definitely packed, but my friend and I were able to snag a table. It was a great spot to get some work done or catch up with a friend. read more

Heavenly Bodega - Bodega Latte (saffron vanilla) - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

Recently explored this local favorite. Love their selection of pastries, especially the monkey bread. Pairs great with morning coffee. Their sunrise latte was delicious! Also, if you are up for a strong brew, they offer Turkish coffee here. Staff was patient and friendly with providing recommendations and pairings. I also picked up a lox sandwich. I asked for an everything bagel version and they were happy to make the adjustment. My friends and I sampled it and love the flavor. Inside has a small market to browse around while you wait for your order. There's also an outside sitting area to enjoy your bites and sips with friends. Might be crowded but people move about pretty quick. Overall, love this morning spot. Can't wait to visit them again and try other offerings. Great job team! read more

Heavenly Bodega - Morning pastry's - Wine Bars Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been here twice. Once for breakfast and then a late lunch on another day. I had the granola bowl, halloumi toast, brown butter bread, hot Americano coffee and their housemade sangria. The food had a farm to table freshness to it and overall I enjoyed the bowl and toast. The brown butter pastry was excellent. It was not too sweet. The coffee was strong and not bitter. The sangria was awful - watered down with little flavor. It was wasteful at $14 a glass. Indoor seating is limited with four tables and a high counter by the windows. In the early afternoon, sitting by the windows was a bit uncomfortable because of the sun. There were no window shades and the glare was bright. There was outdoor seating, but it was also cold and there were no heaters. Service was friendly and welcoming. I would return to order coffee and pastries to go. read more

New coffee shop on Fifth and its menu does not disappoint! Came here to work a bit and ordered myself the "a day on the hill" latte- aka a pistachio latte 10/10. I have yet to try their food menu but there's a variety of options. I peeped someone's breakfast sandwich and that is at the top of my taste list! There's also a market in the coffee shop too. This is located in Banker's Hill so be prepared to pay for parking and/or walk some blocks. There is a parking garage that offers pay to park. Ambiance is 10/10. Not crowded during the mornings. read more

Great cafe for a casual relaxed classy little breakfast and coffee. Lovely chill vibe here, I loved it so much and will come again. The only con is I think they forgot to take off the top of my hard boiled egg and it was hot as heck. The toast was yummy and I loved the honey butter with pistachio on the breakfast plate. Espresso drinks were also yummy. It's a little on the pricier side, but we were both full and satisfied with our breakfast and coffee. Patio is dog friendly! Can't wait to come for lunch. They also sell wine, ceramics, artisanal snacks and drinks and more. Great place to get a gift for your friend who has everything. read more

Heavenly Bodega on Fifth Street in Banker's Hill opened a few weeks ago. Limited street metered parking is a challenge. I'm in this area often, a number of fitness studios I go are walking distance and the french restaurant I dine often is across the street. So I've seen the inception of Heavenly Bodega from the ground up and I am so glad it finally opened. This shop offers coffee, tea, bakery, soup, salads, sandwiches, flatbread and sells kitchen must haves as well as wines and liquors. The space includes outdoor seating which it share next to the church next door. The interior space has seating in case you want to enjoy your drink and catch up on emails. The baked goods are in sourced from Knead Bakery in downtown San Diego, who bakes some of the best almond croissants, which are so buttery and crispy flakey goodness. So far, I've tried the Mushroom Latte and the Bodega Latte. The mushroom latte is really for those who want a healthier drink without caffeine...it was too bland and NOT for me. One of the owners 'Chehadeh' my apologies for misspelling his name personally prepared and presented the Bodega Latte, such amazing coffee. Both Che and the other owner Daniel were very cordial and gracious, introduced themselves. The Bodega Latte is the signature coffee drink made with espresso, vanilla, saffron and after the first few sips I was amazed with wonder, this drink was truly heavenly and made a memorable positive first impression! Worthy of a visit, Recommend read more

I love everything about this place. It's a cafe, a restaurant and boutique shop all rolled into one. We grabbed a seat inside on the comfy booth by the floor to ceiling windows. You'll also find a lot of seating options outside. But these are hot commodities. We couldn't find a place! As I told my partner, this adjoining shop is my kind of place. I love what I call shops in Socal that sell all my favorite "woo woo" products. Basically, things you can really only find in California and not in DC like where I'm living now. Think sea moss shots, natural products, Ophora hyper oxygenated water, Joshua Tree coffee beans, weird herbal elixirs, and a wide selection of natural wines. Give it to me! I'm all about the Erewhon trends that I sadly just can't find in DC. This is a really great spot. And well worth checking out whether you're looking for a good cup of coffee or an interesting "woo woo" product! read more

This is a relatively recent additional to Bankers Hill. It is next to the church. The ambience is wonderful; they have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a great set of dishes for breakfast and wonderful baked goods for your coffee breaks. They make coffee to order, and the service is fantastic. It should be on your list for the next visit to Bankers Hill. read more

So excited about this place!! From the moment you walk in, the storefront is stunning - beautifully curated, unique, and filled with organic, high-end products you actually want to browse. And the wine selection is massive and gorgeous, the kind of lineup that makes you want to linger and discover something new. The coffee was delicious, but what really sent me was the presentation - I'm absolutely obsessed with the handmade ceramics everything is served in. It adds such a thoughtful, elevated touch and makes the whole experience feel special. The food was incredibly fresh and light, and honestly felt like we were having breakfast at a cozy European café. Simple, intentional, and done really well - the kind of place you immediately want to make part of your routine. This spot feels like such a gem for San Diego. Can't wait to come back, bring friends, and spend way too much time browsing the shelves after coffee read more

If I could give Heavenly Bodega more than 5 stars I would! Chehadeh, his wife, and staff were so accommodating and welcoming! From entering it is evident that it's run with passion and taste for curated goods and bites. My boyfriend and I went after being recommended to go and were so happy with the service and experience. We sat in the back patio and they were kind enough to bring a heat lamp out since it was later in the evening, they even offered and brought us a blanket. We bought a bottle of wine from their wine section and split it there with a mezze platter. The platter was perfectly portioned and just enough for 2. Throughout our visit the staff kept checking in to make sure everything was going well. We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Came here on Valentine's Day and it was pretty packed. Took maybe 10 minutes to order, and also quite some time to get the food. Not sure if it's usually this packed or if it was because it was a holiday so the crowds were busier than normal. This is a cute spot, inside there's a store where you can purchase some groceries and ingredients, the second room has a wall full of drinks, and outdoor patio seating. I ordered the Salami Sandwich ($15) and a Valentine's Day special matcha (had pomegranate syrup in it, $8). The sandwich tasted pretty good, it had a hot honey drizzle which I enjoyed but it was definitely messy (it leaks out when biting into the sandwich). I just wish it had more slices of salami though, the amount of protein was pretty small compared to my friend's Chicken Salad Sandwich. I actually left still hungry The matcha was one of the more decent ones I've had, but it still doesn't compare to Prosperitea's read more

This is my kind of Bodega / coffee shop. I know if I lived in this area I would be here all of the time! It is pretty new and is below an apartment complex so I am sure it gets busy on and off through out the day. There are a bunch of cute market grocery items definitely on the pricey side but they seem more higher end items and not just the usual brands you are use to seeing. They have a full coffee menu as well as wine and beer and food! Next time I want to go and check out the breakfast items and maybe a pastry. There is seating inside as well as outside so you can grab your pup and enjoy a drink on the patio on a nice day! read more

Went for brunch last week w/daughter & son-in-law who are foodies. Amazed by the excellent cuisine for a small venue; they share a lovely outdoor patio w/ St Paul's Cathedral~ doubles their seating. Order items for breakfast, lunch & dinner at the counter, and enjoy coffee or a glass of wine from their wine & beer collection. If you can pass up their pastries while in line, you have great will power. This cafe/shop is a great addition to the neighborhood. read more

Yum! I came here during the week with a friend and had a great time. The service was quick and the lady taking our order was kind. Seating is very limited as mainly everyone there was working or so it looked like. We had to sit outside which is also limited. We enjoyed the pistachio latte and a salted caramel latte (forgot the names of them) we also had the breakfast sandwich, carrot cake and jalapeño cheddar scone. Everything was DELICIOUS! A bit pricy but the sizes are decent for the food. read more

I really wanted to love Heavenly Bodega, and I think it has a lot of potential--especially given its great location in Bankers Hill and the clear intention to create a welcoming neighborhood gathering spot. That said, my first visit was a bit underwhelming. I ordered a cortado, which unfortunately wasn't very good and left me unimpressed. The food situation also felt unorganized: several items on the menu weren't available, and although I ordered a plain croissant, it wasn't provided at pickup. When I asked about it, I was given a replacement that was noticeably over-burnt. To be fair, this was their first day open, and it definitely showed. Some of the wine shelves were empty, and it felt like they were still in the process of fully setting up. I appreciate the ambition of the space and what they're trying to build here, which is honestly what motivated me to check it out in the first place. I do have to say, staff were welcoming and friendly. One thing I found particularly discouraging was the $12 corkage fee to enjoy a bottle of wine purchased in-house--that feels steep and may deter people who want to hang out and enjoy the space. Despite the rocky start, I'm willing to give Heavenly Bodega a second chance, especially for lunch or dinner and wine once they're more settled. The location and concept are strong, and with some fine-tuning, this could become a great neighborhood spot. read more

Really enjoyed my meal here. Since they've recently opened they're working with a limited menu, which has some great options. Ordered the breakfast sandwich- usually not a fan of aioli but theirs is pretty flavorful with zaatar and not too greasy.

I truly enjoyed my visit and really appreciate the hospitality. The space feels warm and intentional, creating room for community while still supporting independent work and a bit of shopping for thoughtfully curated essentials. The food stands out.

So the other evening I find myself walking down 5th Ave in Bankers Hill. I was hungry, I wanted something quick and couldn't commit to a sit down meal, dreaded spending 20 minutes scrolling thru uberEats, and the leftovers in my fridge may have spawned new life. To my pleasant surprise a new establishment has opened. My curiosity got the better of me so I mozy'd into Heavenly Bodega. I can best describe this place as more a european-esque mini-grocer than I would a bodega. There's no bodega-cat, there's no guy watching soccer on a 10" TV smoking a cigarette behind a 3" acrylic protection wall. However what I did find was a clean and professional deli, stocked with professionals and a menu that has a mediterranean flare that I really needed in that moment. Also, there's this beautiful patio/courtyard off from the sidewalk where I ate my salad and flatbread peacefully. No riff-raff, absolutely delightful for the moment. Now there's also the grocery stuff. There's beer/wine, but then you have all these specialty food items that just aren't available in typical supermarkets. So think like pickles, olives, sauces, pastas... there's a pretty posh building above so I imagine the 'fancy' people need to put together an emergency charcuterie board, they got them covered. Anyway, I've been back a couple more times and they're getting to know my name and order. I want them to do well, and don't want to gatekeep, so that's my review. read more
