Unfortunately, my recent visit to Bodacious left much to be desired. From the moment we walked in, the service felt rushed and unwelcoming. When placing our food order, the cashier seemed disengaged and impatient—asking if my order was complete after every item, making me feel like I was more of a burden than a customer. After heading upstairs to enjoy a glass of wine, we were met with a similar attitude. The staff seemed inconvenienced by our presence, which only added to the uncomfortable atmosphere. When our food arrived, the açaí bowl was more of a smoothie in a bowl—watery and unappealing. To make matters worse, nearly every blueberry still had its stem attached. While I appreciate fresh, organic ingredients, I didn’t expect to have to clean my fruit at the table. Overall, this experience was far below expectations. Between the poor service and lack of attention to food quality, I’ll be thinking twice before returning.
Not even the most delicious olive oil or coffee would make me ever spend money again in an establishment that bans books in 2025. Absolutely ridiculous and disappointing.
I was disappointed to visit this shop and discover that they have removed all books related to LGBTQ+ topics. A bookstore should be a place that welcomes diverse perspectives and provides resources for everyone in the community. Removing these books sends a harmful message and limits access to important stories and information. If you believe in inclusivity and representation, I encourage you to consider supporting businesses that celebrate all identities.
Difficult to support owners that censor books.
The food is small portions & priced high! The merchandise is overpriced. The staff is rude, acting like we all bother them. Its a cute location. I got two sausage links for 5.50. It was half a link cut in half!

Just bought a Chai tea….
Two girls wanted to chit chat for 15 min and forget?!
Don’t go here!
Horrible service….
My favorite coffee and lunch spot! The staff is friendly and welcoming. I love this iced vanilla lattes and they have great breakfast on the go options. I have to give a shout out to my girl Katie! She is the best and makes my coffee perfect everytime. She always greets me with a friendly smile and warm welcome. Ask for katie next time you stop by! I highly recommend to all of friends and family! 10/10

This place has decent enough food. The portion was small and the ingredients were out of balance for the grain bowl.

The ordering system is crowded and chaotic during peak times. Seems like ordering on an app would be more efficient. Then use staff to deliver it to your table so your aren't fighting the crowd again. Quite noisy for a conversation but upstairs and outdoors are better. I ordered a plain coffee and egg and a scone. They didn't get the order right but it was tasty.
If you use the star parking- go in and get a promo code BEFORE paying for parking. Otherwise there is an annoying premiumparking.com refund process.

Bodacious Cafe & Shops was a warm cozy stop for us during a memorable NW Florida winter (January '25)!

My wife and I love COFFEE and this is the best coffee we’ve ever had! We had some of our very first dates here and now that we are in Virginia we miss it so much!
Side note: My wife adores the coffee art!

Bodacious has yet to disappoint… the quality of the food items are outstanding and the flavor explosions are amazing!
We also love to stop by the oil and vinegar bar to pick up the latest recipe and sample the various flavors to experiment with our own culinary arts abilities when we get home! Love this place!!

I love this place but the sales lady from Canton Ohio is very rude. They have a wonderful variety of olive oils and vinegars. The last two times I was in were not pleasant. The sales lady was very rude. She does not know how to speak to people nicely. The last time I didn’t even buy anything because I didn’t want to deal with her. I won’t be back
I think this is the best latte I’ve had.
I messed up my order and didn’t ask for oatmilk and went back through the drive thru and they remade my drink for FREE! So kind of them 🩷
