The drinks were pretty good and seemed like they use quality ingredients. Customer service could be improved and staff could be friendlier.

I was just hanging around and happened to look for coffee shops and found this gem. I’ll be going back again. The spiced mocha I got was too good. There was no one in the store and still the service was lil slow. But I don’t really mind waiting for the delicious coffee when I’m not in rush. I got the 8 oz coffee for 4 bucks. The ambiance in the coffee shop is different. It smells and feels like a small village side coffee shop.

I enjoy your coffee store so lot. It was incredibly orderly and neat. There is also lots of seating. The owner and his handpicked personnel provided exceptional service, which prompted me to return. The coffee and tea pots were both delicious. That makes me really pleased! A fantastic coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere! It is strongly recommended for everyone!

Local roaster and public coffee shop. I had a matcha latte ( not feeling coffee at the time), with all of their alt options, made to order is no problem. ☕❤️

Really cool coffee shop that roasts on location. The coffee was pretty good, nicely priced. Unfortunately they didn’t have too much food to eat, but their muffins were good. The staff was very friendly and I enjoyed the vibe. Wish there was more outside seating but there isn’t much space outside. However the inside is very spacious.

Great food and coffee!! …poor quality of serviceI come here regularly bc of proximity. Parking can be limited and tricky on the weekends.Prices are higher than that of an average cafe, which reflects the cost of quality ingredients, retail space, etc. I sincerely enjoy the food I receive from the cafe. However the front staff seem to stop caring after they’ve produced food and drink. They’ve consistently made mistakes with pick-up requests and basically brushed me off when I asked for WiFi access and napkins, both things I really needed at the time.I understand customer service is a very difficult job, but there is a lot of room for improvement here

I was amazed at the difference that the Reverse Osmosis Machine made onts. Our glasses sparkle! I no longer have to worry about cleaning limescale off of our appliances with special cleaning products. Our water also tastes a lot fresher and cleaner. I feing my family with a healthier choice.

Fantastic Coffee Shop! My husband and I were given a chance to explore what we need for our future. It has been a tremendous help to this coffee shop environment. With their quiet and green decor, they were impressive. It makes us feel like they werent in town, in the garden, refreshing somewhere. Many thanks to the helpful staff who welcomed us. Lovely way! Oh, good way!

You can tell that the owners really put a lot of effort and passion into Bodhi Leaf. Not only is the inside a fun place to hang out, but the black house coffee is very good. It has a complex and full-bodied flavor profile, unlike the wholesale stuff I usually get at Costco. The starving artist sandwich was also very tasty. 5/5

I have been in this coffee shop for a year now. I always crave their coffee. It tastes so different, in a good way by the way than the other coffee shops in the area. I used to drop by here every morning not just because of their coffee, but also they had a wonderful ambience. Their staff are also very friendly and accommodating. Keep up the good work!

This is the place to be if you are looking for a coffee shop and cakes! It provides free wifi and has a smoking facility (if youre a smoker) inside the venue as well. The staff/waiters are friendly and bubbly all the time. There was coffee on the spot, and the food was superb. Its a decent price and a fun environment!

Any third wave coffee shop with beans roasted on premise is definitely worth checking out, and this location provides the quintessential experience. What a privilege to comparatively taste the single origin Honduras San Jacinto as espresso and a pourover from the V60!

We chose this place because this is one of the best places to get coffee. I just think that the chocolate overpowers the coffee that you may think that youre drinking hot choco. Last week, we stopped here for coffee since we wanted to spend time here. We love having chit-chat over the cup of coffee. Its worth a try!

Not to mention the deliciousness of the meal. I ordered the sticky honey shrimp with garlic butter, which was tasty. Ill be back for sure! My mother was visiting and would be staying in the area for the evening, so we picked this restaurant for dinner. We were seated right away, and the service was fantastic.

You’ll be drawn in by the coffee, but soon realize the food menu is what will also keep you coming back. Some brilliantly innovative drinks on the menu for those looking for some variety. We really enjoyed our time here with my friends. Well be coming back here soon.

Bodhi Leaf has good coffee and plenty of food selections. Food ranges from pastries to lunch sandwiches. Vibes a little weird but if you can look past that, coffee makes everything better.

Review №24

Discovered this coffee shop by accident, and thankfully it turned out to be really cool. Its located in a shopping center off Katella in the city of Orange. The inside is spacious, with plenty of seats. There is a counter where you can sit, tall and also shorter tables.The coffee is tasty. Most of their coffees are Direct Trade, but they have Fair Trade Items too which makes this coffeehouse cooler. They are also affiliated with the Rainforest Alliance which is a plus, another coffeehouse giving back to protect the earth. There were plenty of people sitting studying and having conversations the day I stumbled upon this place.The baristas were nice, friendly and helpful. There were pastries and other baked items, but hardly anything left. Oh well, thats for another time.The decor is simple, I like the chairs. Theyre different, unique and comfortable. If Im ever in the Orange County region again, I will definitely try to return!

This is one of my areas exclusive and well-known coffee shops. The place is very quiet, vast, and easy to be in. This coffee shop will make it more memorable for your visit. The cookies are fantastic for couples with their coffee or tea and are rich. The workers are friendly, welcoming, and know exactly what they do. Highly advised!

Review №26

First, The ambiance was great and calm. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are not. I see that baristas are changed regularly so I wouldn’t blame the coffeehouse. The black coffee is fantastic and I have never disappointed but only 1 out of 4 lattes was good, the others tasted weird and burned. One time there was only one cashier open and he was talking to a one costumer for more than 10 minutes; I know that coffee shops work like this and pro barista should answer all the customers questions, but at least they should have a second register or cashier open.My cortado became a cappuccino one time.

Review №27

Great place. Theyre ACTUALLY coffee traders and theres a large window that gives you a peak into the warehouse. Theres also other areas where machines and more back-of-house is on display; pretty cool! They even do educational lessons about coffee. The place has wifi, merch, coffee memorabilia (Chemex, grinders, mugs, etc), and a selection of pastries and healthy snacks. Theres also complimentary water and restrooms (not gender neutral), plus you can order online with Grubhub. I didnt stay for long (unfortunately) but it seems like the whole place should be wheelchair accessible (the front has 7 steps but there is a ramp). Plenty of seating inside and outside, and the area is quiet. Whole atmosphere is super relaxed. I got a hot latte that tasted good w/ nice standard latte art. I got oat milk but they have other non-dairy (almond, oat, coconut, that I know of). Id absolutely recommend swinging by if youre in the area and sticking around if youve got the time.

We went a bit out of our way to come here but I have been buying green unroasted beans from them for about a year through the mail and was glad to finally come and see the place. It’s very chill and relaxed a lot of people on their computers but they have great single origin coffee too. Also, try the kombucha, very nice palatable booch!

Review №51

Good quality roasted coffee, whole bean or ground on request to a size you specify. Generally about 10 different types / mixes of coffee beans prepackaged for counter pick up. Variety not always the same since they move through different coffee styles. So the country / mix you got during previous visit may not be there during a subsequent visit.

Review №65

This is one of my very favorite coffee shops. They can do the fancy Starbucks-style drinks, but their specialty are their beans and pour-overs. They always have a variety of options from all over the world, including un-roasted beans, if you like that sort of thing.

Review №66

I was treated to this coffee at friends house that they brewed themselves. The very first sip made me say wow & where did you get this? Within a week we were having coffee dates at the store itself. My favorite is the lavender latte for my evening enjoyment & their true Macchiato for that morning pick me up.As I type this I am enjoying their Matcha Tea Latte with soymilk a great option as well. I just used the online ordering and was thrilled to just pick up and go with zero hassle. This is such a great coffee house that it is generally full when it comes to seating, but the reason is the coffee is really damn good.This is my highest rated coffee spot and is worth my drive from across town each and every time. If I am feeling a certain style or taste the baristas have suggested drinks that were right on to what I was feeling by just a few questions. You can tell their love for their products they are sharing and serving. I believe thats how I was introduced to the lavendar latte.

Review №72

Scary place to visit in the Pandemic situation: visit today for a take out just to see people *without mask* sitting inside. No, they were NOT in the middle of eating nor drinking. Just working with their laptop *as the old days*. Where is your responsibility to the society to stop the Covid-19?? Are you one of those maskless companies? Notes taped at the door are not enough when you let them use your indoor chairs. Wont go back ever again until you fix the problem. Be spending my money at other coffee shops! Should report you to the county health department before any case appears! Geesshhh...

Saw this place on The Profit and vowed to give it a try one day. Beautiful on the inside. Cozy yet spacious. I am not exaggerating when I say it was probably the best cup of coffee Ive ever had.

We absolutely loved this place. It was our first visit so we really didnt know what to expect. We found some interesting tastes that were unique to this place and gave them a try.

Review №93

Very nice spot. Cozy and comfy. The coffee was very good. Too bad I will not be returning. I dont like dog slobber all over my food/drinks. I was waiting for my coffee and saw the next customer walked in with his dog. He was petting his dog, touching this fur, face, you know, all the normal things a good dog owner would do. But then he also paid for his purchase and went on to touch absolutely EVERYTHING. He touched the pad as he paid, then the coffee lids, napkins, stirrers, everything.I felt absolutely snobby having to ask the barista for a lid from behind the counter, but again, I dont want dog slobber all over my food/drinks/etc. I dont even want my dogs slobber. I draw the line with my children. Plus Im pretty certain there is a law against animals where there is food. (see Health & Safety code 114259.5)Dont get me wrong, the dog was beautiful, and trained well-enough, but the loving owner was touching and kissing his dog, then putting his hands everywhere in the restaurant.Again, the coffee (white mocha) was absolutely delicious. If only establishment owners would enforce the law ...

Review №95

The ambience of this establishment is well established as warm and inviting. Decor consisting of an eye-popping orange and a more subtle brown, the industrial/modern look is pleasing (unlike the chairs...). The best part is their lavender cold brew. My partner and I always get our growler filled with cold brew while enjoying a drink, which is typically lavender cold brew ( sometimeswith oat milk) as well. Weve tried their roasted beans at home with great success as well

We were nearby for a seminar, and I am grateful that gave this coffee shop close by for the quick coffee runs. Not to mention their coffee tastes superb!
