Bodi's Java

This place really went downhill from how I remember it being. The place is covered in cheap folding tables and chairs, and lost its esthetic vibe it used to have going for it. It just felt dirty to me. Coffee was average at best.

Lovely little coffee shop, very friendly older couple running it. If you have plenty of time, want a nice place to sit and chat, this would be a good place.
However, if you just want a to run in and grab a quick latte, this is not a good fit. Just stopped by, almost no other customers, no line and it took 12 minutes to get one latte. My poor kid was waiting in the car. Would never have stopped had I known it would take so long.
Again, probably great for a liesurely cup of coffee, but not a good fit for working moms in a hurry.

Locally owned, lots of selection, friendly owners

Got food poisoning from eating a bagel- would avoid this place. Also the owner kicked me out of the shop when I chose to sit on the couch. Staff is not friendly.

Don't expect good customer service here, or pleasantries of any kind. My coffee was ok, but not what I'd expect from a smaller coffee shop, maybe something between gas station coffee and starbucks. The atmosphere is dingy, dark, dated, not very welcoming. It's funny so many other reviews mentioned the restroom, first they said there was no restroom at all, only after my purchase they had allowed me to use their restroom. Cannot speak for their food or non-coffee drinks.

No bathroom for customers. $5 plain bagel. Worn down decor. Bummer because the coffee is good and the space has been such a staple.
