Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders

I have been coming here off and on to bodhi leaf for many years ,I really like the coffee and service but unfortunately today ,I was soo surprised to see a gay flag next to the register. I made a comment to the girl who was serving me you need to have an American flag up too i carnt assume but noticed her reaction to her work colleagues making fun so unprofessional, if you have different veiws thats your prerogative but when working in a public setting one has to be professional as you are interacting with all different walks of life.I feel and felt sad as I will not be coming back.

We have been coming to this Bodhi Leaf on Katella for the last 5 years based on a recommendation from a local friend, who loves coffee. Every time we are in Orange to visit family, we find ourselves at this Bodhi Leaf. We’ve drank no other coffee at home since. And I live in Seattle. My husband and I have been ordering their 5-lb bags by mail every few weeks for years. (Yes we drink a lot of coffee.) Our houseguests rave about this. We sent a pound home with my mother-in-law to Cape Cod last time she was here. I think she’s been having them ship out to her now.

The cafe is light and airy. People—not just the staff—are friendly. It has an ambience of chill. I once dropped in while they were roasting beans up front. The aroma was heady and suddenly *had* to start working at the counter bar in front of the roaster for the next hour.

I usually go back to their enormous warehouse and buy a few pounds of coffee beans to go, filling up a quarter on my carryon suitcase. The warehouse and office guys are so nice and helpful. They’ve had limited runs of coffees from the African highlands that were not on their webstore the last couple of times I was there. And boy! Did I ever snap those up, slinking out of the store with them tucked up in my coat, saying “my precious!” under my breath.

My friend from Ethiopia, who lives up here in Seattle, asked about green coffee beans because she roasted them at home literally like in the old country. Well. I have a surprise for her.

As a long time customer of Bodhi, it hurts me to leave this review. I would give 5 stars to the Placentia, Anaheim, and Yorba Linda locations. This review is only for one shift of employees at the Katella location. My experience at that location has consistently been 5 stars for quality and service for almost 4 years until two weeks ago.

The girl took my order then made my drink. I could immediately see that it was not what I ordered. (No big deal, as long as it's corrected). She apologized and remade it...incorrect again. When I said the second drink was also not what I ordered, two other baristas came over and said she didn't understand what I wanted. I then asked why she didn't ask me to clarify what I wanted. The exchange that followed was one of the most unacceptable customer service experiences I have ever encountered. Rather than trying to make the situation (and my order) right, I was verbally and emotionally attacked by said 3 baristas, who made it their mission to educate me on all the ways it was my fault. No offer to make it right. No respect. Now, I'm not under the illusion that the customer is always right. But I did not deserve to be treated that way.

When I returned a week later hoping to give them a second chance, they obviously recognized me and started right in with comments alluding to the previous exchange that made me decide to share my negative experience. Think I'm a Karen? Fine, I'll be a Karen. I spend way too much money at Bodhi to tolerate these three employees who have tainted my impression of an otherwise excellent company.

I recently ordered a drink from coffee bean. When I received my drink and pointed out that it was incorrect, they apologized, made me the correct drink, and offered me the original drink as well. That made it right. That was excellent customer service.

Last week I placed a mobile order at Starbucks. When I went to pick it up they told me they were out of what I ordered. They had me choose another drink, offered free upgrades, AND gave me a gift card for the inconvenience. That made it right. THAT was excellent customer service.

Everyone makes mistakes. I honestly don't care that I didn't get what I was trying to order and what I thought I had paid and tipped them for. But to be treated that way? That's definitely NOT what I paid for.

To all the other employees and baristas who have treated me well over the last 4 years at the Katella location: THANK YOU and I appreciate you.

I’ve visited a couple other Bohdi Leaf locations. They have multiple locations across OC.

Parking: This location has a medium sized parking lot. Finding a spot can be easy because people are constantly going in n out.

Ambiance/Environment: They have a large space with plenty of indoor seating and limited outdoor seating. Love the modern woodsy/barn theme. Perfect spot to have business conversations, catch up with friends, or get some work done. They also sell merch and coffee beans.

Service: Daniela was the cashier that assisted me. She was simply nice and efficient. Throughput was quick after ordering; it took about 5 min.

Drinks & pastries: I ordered a 16 oz iced flavored latte with butterscotch. It wasn’t really sweet. The coffee flavor came through, but the butterscotch was lacking a bit. The caramel notes were really light. During my first visit a few years ago, I remember their mochas were really chocolatey, and the pastries were delicious.

Pricing: They offer rewards through Cash App. I don’t really like Cash App rewards because it doesn’t offer much. Prices definitely went up. It cost a bit more than usual, especially for a 16 oz.

Andrea from La Habra branch is rude. We asked about Vanilla bean and said “there is no cafe that put coffee in vanilla bean”. We just asked why there is no coffee and it is too sweet. He argued and argued just to looked right and charged us another $4 for a coffee shot on our vanilla bean blended. She cannot be in this industry. She is rude!

Coffee is excellent. Had the nitro cooled and the texture was creamy as well. Best coffee I've tasted. Much better than the coffee on every corner place with better costs as well.

Great kind and friendly people work here and a great place for breakfast and coffee! 😊

Stopped in here to catch up on some work before a meeting. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I ordered an avocado toast and a drip coffee, both were very delicious. Will definitely be stopping through next time I'm in the area.

I've been going here for years and the quality is always great.

Really cool coffee spot BUT the worst internet/wifi to exist. If you are a coffee shop please invest in good wifi connection. How is anyone able to get work done here with such bad wifi. Such a bummer because this place is actually good..
