Servers were friendly and I got my coffees within a few minutes! Got a pollinator latte and a chai. The pollinator latte was definitely unique with the combination of honey, lavender, and mint. Some moments it was stronger in the honey and lavender flavor, others it was like peppermint mocha almost. I definitely enjoyed it and something to try if it's available on the menu. The chai was good, heavy on the cinnamon and a bit too sweet based on my personal preference. Can't comment on the food but there were plenty of people eating the scones, so it might need to be thing the try the next time I'm here!

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.

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!

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.

Another review mentioned computer campers, and I get it now- the seats inside were filled by people on their devices and no drink in sight. Reading the menu was a scavenger hunt, and although the prices weren't too bad, the whole café looked like the same copy paste cookie cutter nonsense. All the employees looked the exact same, all the coffee looked the same, and somehow all the foods looked the exact same as well? We got two medium chais, one with oat milk and the other with almond. To start, the ratio of Chai to milk was egregious, it was as if flavor was a suggestion. The Chai with almond milk tasted like bad cardamom water, and the one with oat milk tasted like cinnamon toast crunch milk. Normally I absolutely down drinks, but it stayed full with me all the way home until I could fix it. All in all, $13 for two medium milks is insane, couldn't recommended even if I was paid to..

I was so enamored with the heady, savory fragrance of the Rare Milk Oolong tea that I instantly decided that was MINE.

I bought Rosebud coffee for hubby, and treated myself to a tea measuring spoon (a must - I don't want to waste any of that amazing Oolong tea!), a tea bag caddy, and a loose leaf tea strainer. I fell in love with the floating duck tea strainer, but I left her and her $10 price tag behind.

During a trip to Corvallis, I stopped by Wise Cracks with my daughter for a quick breakfast while we were in town for her sister's volleyball tournament. It turned out to be a delightful find. The restaurant had a charming, cozy vibe, and despite not having a reservation, we were seated right away since it was early on a Sunday morning. Our waiter, Isaieh, was incredibly friendly, efficient, and provided excellent customer service. We decided to split French toast with a side of bacon and hashbrowns, which was a perfect portion for two people. The food came out quickly, and everything was delicious. Overall, Wise Cracks is a cute little spot in Corvallis, and I'd definitely return with the rest of the family for another yummy breakfast outing. Highly recommend it if you're in the area! read more

I had the pleasure of being served by Katie during my recent visit, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the moment we were seated, she greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile, making us feel right at home. Throughout the meal, her attentiveness was impeccable! She checked in at just the right times, ensuring our drinks were always topped up and that we had everything we needed. Not only was she friendly and professional, but she also had great recommendations for the menu. Her service truly enhanced our dining experience, and I'll definitely be coming back again soon. Thanks, Katie, for making our meal so enjoyable! read more

Absolutely hate this place!! The only reason this place is busy is because they are the only breakfast place in town besides Shari ! The place is not taken care of, such as the spoons are always dirty and there is always hair in the food. My husband and I completely stoped going to this place after the servers there were constantly rude to us. They always switch the rules there about ordering food to go.

Came in with my party of 6. Couldn't be seated until whole party was there, wasn't too bad so wasn't too big of a deal. Service was fast, ordered my orange juice and got a small...it was extra small. Was so confused on how small it was. Not bad service and food was good (I got chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and eggs) but maybe not the most cost effective.

Service is not great. Overworked waitresses and occasional rudeness from the staff. The food is overpriced and mediocre. Much of it is factory food--the potatoes are frozen, the pancakes and waffles are not made from scratch. All-in-all it's kind of like an overpriced Denny's or Elmer's. We tried it twice with the same results both times. There are better places in downtown Corvallis for breakfast and lunch. read more

Food and initial service were great, but it took a while to pay my tab which was frustrating. I had breakfast with a friend before work and when I tried to pay my $12.45 bill with a $20, I was told I'd have to wait 15 minutes until the bank opened because the waitress didn't have enough money to give me change. Other than that little glitch, I was very pleased and will go back again. read more
