Rainy Day, Great Bar Seat, and One Memorable Meal…read more It was a cold, rainy Oregon afternoon when I stumbled into Castor, and I'm glad I did. There happened to be one open seat at the bar, which is my favorite place to dine when traveling. Sitting at the bar lets you talk story with the bartender, learn the menu, and watch the cocktails come together. If you're eating alone, I highly recommend grabbing a seat here. The bartender was friendly, easy to talk with, and clearly knew both the menu and the craft behind the bar. One thing that stood out right away was their use of fresh local ingredients, which really shows up in the flavor of the dishes and drinks. I started with the Golden Manhattan, made with a pecan-infused bourbon that was fantastic. It had a rich, slightly nutty flavor with warm vanilla notes and just the right touch of sweetness. Smooth, balanced, and a great way to kick off the meal. Alongside that I ordered the chorizo clam chowder, which brought a creamy base with just the right amount of spice from the chorizo. Comfort food with a little personality. For dinner I switched gears and ordered the Creole Sour. This one really stood out. Bright citrus up front, a smooth bourbon backbone, and a subtle spice note that tied perfectly into the Creole theme. It had that classic sour balance, tart, slightly sweet, and refreshing without overpowering the drink. Dinner was the gumbo with hot bread and butter, and it delivered. Deep flavor, a nice slow warmth from the spice, and hearty enough to make the rainy Oregon weather feel like part of the experience. To finish things off I kept it simple with a neat pour of Ben Holladay, which made for the perfect nightcap. The staff were welcoming and relaxed, which made the whole experience feel easy and comfortable. This is the kind of place that works whether you're dining solo, meeting friends, out with someone special, or grabbing dinner with a group. The price point landed right where it should be for the quality of food, cocktails, and service. If you're in Corvallis and can grab a seat at the bar at Castor, take it. Order a cocktail, settle in, and enjoy the ride. It turned a rainy afternoon into one heck of a meal.

I always enjoy my latte here. I've also tried out their sweet and creamy cold brew (a little too sweet but as a treat it was great!) and their cortado which are both solid. My go to dish is usually the acai bowl. Plenty of textures, flavors, and a good amount of sour and sweet that makes it's perfectly balanced. The only downside is that the spoons that are provided are a little big for the bowl that you are given, so you are bound to spill a little bit. The Mexican bowl is okay, but not quite my personal preference since there is more of a curry taste to it. Overall come and give Bodhi a try!

Menu is decent size with lots of options to choose from. I got the Cajun Penne which has Tri color bell peppers, house made sausage, chicken,, chorizo, andouille, cream, garlic, parmesan, Cajun spice, and 2 slices Bodhi Bread. Cost me about $20 bucks and worth every penny. Good amount of spice, rich and flavorful. Overall a lovely place to eat and more than happy to come here and eat again.

I walked in trying to book a gig for our band. This tall curly hair guy said "well uhh....well....maybe....no. " and would'nt take my demo. He didn't know to already say no, he looked at me judged me then said no. He also said that they were only booking his band and that's why.... Maybe that's true, but why not have any shows in the summer? Also, who books their own band to play their own venue they book for? Douche bags that's who. Get down off your high horse and book some other bands you biggits, Not that we would ever play there now.... read more

I enjoyed the mugs, stickers and jewelry on display in their little retail section but could see the critique from folks saying it feels a little blank- it's a pretty big space, so it's hard to make it cozy and intimate. The blueberry muffin I ordered wasn't very sweet so it didn't quite hit the mark for me, but still fine. I was mostly impressed with the excellent coffee and friendly service. I also thought the prices were extremely fair- only spent about $7 for coffee and pastry combined when the drink alone could be that at other shops. Great energy, overall.

Definitely one of the pricier places in Corvallis for smoothies and sandwiches, especially when the smoothies start at 10 oz instead of what I usually expect of 12 oz (the coffee and tea drinks do start at 12 oz) . I do appreciate them labeling everything regarding gluten, dairy, etc. So if you have any sort of dietary restrictions, definitely a safe place to come to. Their latte is okay, not the best, not the worst. The smoothies are hit or miss. I haven't been able to pick out the exact ingredient, but some are very chalky/grainy in texture, and no it's not the protein that they add to certain ones. I do enjoy the mint chip smoothie. Recommend a try if you have any dietary restrictions. Will probably come back to try out some other things on the menu, but unless I'm in the area won't actively seek it out.

It's pricey in the way that I can't make it a regular spot, but I will make it a regular "special treat" spot. Online ordering was quick and easy.

So much flavor packed in every bite. It was cheesy vegan love. The desserts for later were the Chocolate Nut Butter Cups. The website said, better than a Reese's. House-made chocolate nut butter cups are sweet, creamy, and delicious. Filled with house-made almond butter (GF, DF, V). A real treat for anyone with special dietary needs or NOT because they were delectable. I saved my favorite item for last. A chai smoothie. It was made with almond milk, hemp and a banana. It was so creamy and satisfying. I feel this is that unique thing that I will get again and again here. I'm already craving it. I saw they make a coffee smoothie too. I think I'll try that next time. I could see getting those for friends in the reusable glass containers as little gifts at work or when I'm coming to visit. I think I will also try an Açaí bowl next time. Those looked lovely in the photos. Keep up the great work Ants. Y'all are special. I'm hoping you can add a few more affordable items to bring in some more hungry folx. Maybe a tempeh BLT? Give them a try if you're downtown.
