I don’t know that I’ll ever understand how they make such a comforting oat milk ice cream. The cinnamon is rich, unique, and worth a stop from as far as 2 hours away. Service is slow, and at times a bit gruff, but that’s what you get when the person that’s passionate is behind the counter and the cash register. The slower pace has its benefits. It definitely weeds out a certain type of person that I suspect the owner wants to weed out.

Nice and cozy place. Very good coffee and they have Oat milk! Good place to chill or do a work on your computer.

Delicious latte (we got both hot & iced) in a cute shop with indoor & outdoor seating. Iced drinks come in a mason jar. Thanks!

I really liked it here, it was small, quiet and quaint. Perfect place to work on your laptop. I get distracted very easily by noisy places so I prefer when the environment is more like this. The coffee is good, they have plenty of seating for its size, both inside and out. It’s kept clean, the staff is very friendly and the decor is elegantly simple.

What a lovely spot.The owner said the smoothie was made with fruit and basil from the farmers market next door, and it tasted "like a delicious garden," according to my daughter. I got an iced coffee, which was perfect, and we loved that instead of plastic cups our drinks came in mason jars. We sat outside in the sun but the interior felt cozy and warm, the perfect place to stop on a colder day, too.

Ahhh!! This place is so peaceful. And their iced chai is REALLY good. Full of flavor. Iced chaos are my favorite drink and I've been to a lot of coffee shops in my time. This one is delicious. I'll definitely be coming back. Also, for people who like to get work done in coffee shops, this place is small but there are a LOT of outlets.

Bodhi is an absolute gem. I'd definitely recommend everyone to come and make your own experiences here. Bodhi is a peaceful respite from an overblown world that helps and encourages local entrepreneurs and artists in being the home base of 'The People's Gallery Project'. A bright light of Head House Square for sure. Tell Olivia and/or Bob that Brian sent you.
