I love going to breakfast here. I usually order the huevos rancheros or the eggs benedict. I also like that you can order an extra side of rancheros sauce or hollandaise sauce on the side of your meal. Usually there is a bit of a wait for a larger group but if there is only a couple people you can't get seated pretty quick even on busier days.

Eggs Benedict
Ashley J.

Delicious Food. I had the eggs Benedict. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you're in Corvallis and craving a solid breakfast or brunch, WiseCrack is definitely worth a stop!

Over rated! Went in for lunch and was told no lunch today or tomorrow due to holiday. Heard 3 groups get offered lunch menus after that. When questioned about it got cold glares from other wait staff. The meal I was served (2 egg and meat) was Luke warm, hash browns were more like butter glazed hash blonde. It was delivered 2-3 min after ordering so I highly doubt it was made fresh. The toast was very dry. Food has never been this substandard but the staff is still less than customer service oriented, unless they feel they might get a better tip out of you.

el diablo omelette with loaded hashbrowns
Hannah G.

[FOOD]: 8/10 * The el diablo omelette definitely is a yummy breakfast. The chorizo is decently seasoned and accompanied by some hot sauce, this omelette is amongst my favorites here! * My friend got the mimosa flight and was pleasantly surprised by the grape, apple, and grapefruit mimosas. The champagne used also had sweet after taste notes [SERVICE]: 10/10 * Our waitress was a sweetheart! She was extremely attentive to our table despite there being a full restaurant. Really friendly and made our dining experience better. [AMBIANCE]: 7/10 * Cute little breakfast place, it has very cozy vibes and the decor is unique and captivating

Chicken fried steak, hash browns, over easy eggs
Kristi D.

Food=5/10 Food wasn't anything to write home to mom about, but it was a typical diner quality. Food ordered was chicken fried steak and hobo hash. Coffee was a 7/10 and there was a container of 1/2 and 1/2 at every table. Service=4/10. There was a sign in sheet that customers had to fill out upon entering the establishment. There wasn't a sign stating this fact and people standing there didn't offer this information. Server was nice and quick and food delivery was about 15 minute wait.

The Mother Load

We had an early start and made it into Wisecracks by 730am on a Saturday. It was not busy when we arrived but had started to fill up by the time we left (though still no wait). We were greeted right away and brought to a table. Coffee came out shortly and was plenty hot. Our waitress was nice and attentive. The food came out quickly and well prepared. While the food wasn't really extraordinary, it was definitely tasty. The hollandaise was well made, and the sausage gravy had good flavor. The hashbrowns could use some seasoning. Being right on one of the main streets of Downtown Corvallis, street parking could be a problem. But there are a few lots around and you can enter the restaurant from either side. The restroom was clean and stocked. I do wish it wasn't so dark inside for a breakfast spot, but then again, they are not a breakfast only spot, so it makes sense.

Slamwich
Danielle N.

Good breakfast spot. Got the Slamwich which is kind of a lot. Not as good as it seems it should be but not bad. Great service.

See all

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!

Though busy on a Wednesday afternoon (it was the day before Thanksgiving after all), we found a table and had a great meal. I loved my latte and biscuits and gravy! Everything was tastefully presented and had wonderful flavors. The portion sizes aren't too big, so don't expect a huge meal. I found the biscuits and gravy to be filling for a brunch, but someone with a bigger appetite might want to opt for something more substantial. The staff did a great job getting many orders out in a fairly short amount of time, and based on my meal, they weren't sacrificing quality in the process. The cafe norms are pretty standard for a seat-yourself cafe where you order at the counter, pick up your food at the counter, and bus your own table. I found Bodhi Cafe and Bakery to be exactly what I needed, and look forward to returning.

Imagine Coffee - Blueberry muffin was not overly sweet. Nice recipe.

Small surface parking lot in front, and there is some more around the back. It's a fun environment with brick and white walls with plenty of things on the walls. Lots of seating available and a small fireplace along a wall. I ended up coming two days in a row since the coffee is solid. Got a Spanish latte and a regular latte. Highly recommend their regular latte, the Spanish if you have more of a sweet tooth, not my personal favorite. Service was fast and friendly. Definite a go to place for coffee!

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.

You order from the far side of the counter your beverage before going up to the cashier for the rest of your order. I bit confusing since there wasn't any actual signage or barrier that would signal that. Obviously less of an issue for future visits. The lattes are definitely good. The specialty beverages are more likely to be misses than hits. They had a Vietnamese cold brew and honestly it was one of the worst attempts that I have tried. Really it just tasted like really sweet milk with a dash of coffee flavoring. I have tried some of their winter special drinks and those are usually better. Would definitely recommend with sticking to a traditional drink for more consistency sake. It can take some time to get drinks depending on how busy they are. It's ranged from 5-20 minutes from my experience. Food wise would recommend the bagel with salmon spread. They give quite a bit of spread that it's definitely enough to fully cover both halves independently. The bagel with avocado spread would be a close second. One of a few coffee placed in Corvallis so I'll definitely find my way back here.
