I loved the atmosphere of the Grace Bodega! my friend and I each had americano and a latte, shared spinach & artichoke dip and grilled cheese.Americano - its clean, with a light but substantial flavour, devoud of acidity made refreshing.spinach&artichoke - was little salty for us, the chips were amazing, but we could see bunch of salts all over the chips, we tried to get rid of some, but it was already stuck on the chips haha,, and the dip was sour and salty,, it could of been better if it was less salty! :)grilled cheese - was great! but small portionsoverall, store atmosphere was perfect, cozy and warm :) their service was great too! i love to try other menus next time :)!

Eclectic and funky atmosphere with an interesting selection of wines, craft beers and condiments. Sadly, a mediocre and very small Americano plus a decent chai latte came to over $12 with tip.

Love this place. Their mocha latte is incredible and their food is delicious. They also have an exquisite selection of beautiful craft wines, and stuff like flaky salt that’s hard to come by. Atmosphere is lovely for a casual date or a nice chat with a colleague.

Absolutely the best Cortado I’ve ever had. Warm, inviting space and staff. Really interesting selection of natural and bio-dynamic wine.

Used to be a regular spot for me. Will no longer be returning after this establishment let go a staff member for not supporting a genocide?!? My money will be going to businesses that support humanity and value human

A very nice and cozy local cafe with very nice staff. I LOVED the sesame zaatar bagel with cream cheese. The store is very cute and they have some cool food products too.

UNRELIABLE, INCONSISTENT AND FLAKY HOURS.Stopped by last Sunday shortly before 3pm to enjoy a Latte and bring home Capuchinos for my husband and brother- in-law only to find your doors locked and lights out. I took a ten minute drive out made longer by traffic and construction only to be disappointed when I parked and walked up to your shop. Three times too many for me. Three times in one season I have walked up to your doors well within the hours you advertise as being open only to have your doors shut and lights out. Disgraceful.When a business does not honour its operating hours it is a red flag for me and I usually never return. I gave you a chance because you are a locally owned business and you operate downtown which can be challenging but 3 times in the same summer and without any advance notice about a change in hours on your window, or plaque? Not even a short explanation or apology written by hand and taped to the door for closing early which would be very appropriate assuming you even bothered to open at all? What gives?I politely asked out of curiosity once why the hours kept changing and the surly reply from the barista was "we are just not busy enough". Well that's just NOT GOOD ENOUGH. On that occassion the barista couldn't get finished fast enough as she handed me my hot drink in a paper cup with a cover and never asked if I was interested in sitting down to drink it ... there was still 40 minutes left on the clock before close. RUDE. Despite the poor reason given I kept coming back and when I was locked out a second time turned a blind eye, but I am not ignoring a third time. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me ... and I gave it a third chance. Done.I enjoy your hot drinks but wine and alcohol are of no interest to me but I loved your large assortment of breads, pastries, cookies, desserts and sandwiches among other food items I have bought and eaten there in the past which are now mostly gone and I rarely see. Instead you have replaced them with strangely esoteric salads made from Quinoa and odd pastas ... will never taste them or touch them."We are just not busy enough" ... closing unexpectedly and not keeping to the hours you post as being open will not help you stay busy nor build and maintain a regular and loyal customer base. Nor will increasingly depleted food shelves. Is there any point in looking at your posted Google hours or will it also be ignored or possibly change again next month or even next week?I guess you have to do what you have to do but do not be surprised if you lose regular and reliable customers because you have stopped being regular and reliable.Good luck but you've stopped being lucky for me.

Casual offshoot of superb Grace restaurant, good coffee, great shakshuka.
I popped into the Bodega after a market shopping morning looking for some wine and an afternoon snack. I was picking up bottles of wine, reading labels, etc for about 5 or more minutes. I also spotted some ciders on the wall that looked interesting. As there were only 1 of each on display I assumed the stock was in the cooler where I did not find any. No one offered assistance or explanations with regards to wine or ciders but instead the staff were busy chatting with friends. I was the only person initially in the store. As other people came in that were clearly regulars they got warm welcomes and lots of info/assistance on their selections. Overall I was meant to not feel welcome. I took two artisanal sodas and a few slices of a galette which tasted good but was cold and stale even after toasting.With some mediocre service I could have seen myself spending $100+ ad the product selection was beautifully curated but unfortunately left with much less.

I really enjoyed the scrambled eggs on toasted sourdough which was a bit too toasted but delicious nonetheless. My wife loves the London fog. Also, the sauce with her frittata was amazing.Very friendly and kind service. Thank you!Dietary restrictions: Lactose free options.
