Loved it.We had a glass of wine each and both decided we wanted to come back for dinner.We found the ambiance to be ideal. The service was spot on and the wine selection was vast yet curated enough to help guide you to the best option.Indoor and outdoor seating.No reservation required

This unassuming bar/Cafe is a great surprise. Half is a coffee shop while the other side is a bar. The interesting thing is they dont serve any hard liquor so all the drinks are made with various spirits. The bartender was amazing, friendly and informative, he helped guide us through the cocktail menu and all the drinks he made were amazing, he was a shorter Hispanic gentleman, super nice guy. Its definitely a great little gem to grab coffee or drinks, depending on how youre feeling. I recommend for a nice dinner date.

Thank you for being so so accommodating on Wednesday when we arrived with our bikes. It was my first time there and we felt so welcomed and appreciated. I will be back 1000%

Insane, hidden gem in Santa Monica. Great vibe day and night with awesome food choices including LAs best pizza as claimed by many!Great couple and group place. Outdoor dining patio and open airy inside.

Have been here three times and two of those were a great experience, one was okay. Their pizza is definitely some of the best around and rivals Stella Barra. The other dishes and deserts are good and everything is reasonable in terms of price. Very casual yet modern setting.

By day its a great little cafe to work from with killer food and coffee. By night its a great casual wine bar for date or a catchup with some friends.My personal go to food item is the breakfast burrito.

Excellent food, great wine, and good vibes all around. We sat outside but the inside was intriguing, it looked dim and intimate. It was crowded but we didnt have to wait longer than 10 minutes. I would come eat/drink here again.

Large piece of avocado toast. They also use califia nut mylk

Absolutely love this place! In the morning its a great place to get coffee and breakfast. During the day the place gets busy with people working on their laptops. No laptops rules starts at 5pm and the place turns into a cool wine bar. Perfect place for a casual meetup or a date.

Omgosh, my mother was a chef for a five-star restaurant in Malibu. I am a wonderful cook. So, Im very picky about the money that I spend dining out. Bodega had the best food I have had in such a long time for such a reasonable price. It is such a pleasure to go somewhere and get cuisine that is better than you can make at home. Additionally, the atmosphere and wonderful customer service and staff made it all the better experience. Im going to have a hard time not coming back every single day!

Our local Go-to for coffee and light breakfast. Recommend the croissant with ham and cheese. Vanilla latte. Chill atmosphere in the mornings to sit, get some work done on the MacBook, eat, and have coffee. Been here many times and will repeat.

Great night at a private party. Fantastic service, cool kick back Wine Bar. Along with a very nice Espresso Bar. Good variety appetizers . Open air indoor and outdoor seating.

Great place, coffee, baristas, food, etc. A worthwhile stop for coffee and work. Would recommend. 👍

This was my first time trying out this resturant. The food is great but the service is even better. Tod the manager was my favorite person. He was so nice, accommodating to me & my service dog that made my experience 10 times more enjoyable. I will highly recommend this place & will be back for sure

Very cool atmosphere. The vegan pizza tasted great. Didnt get a chance to check out the inside.

Coffee shop by day/wine bar at night. Great happy hour spot for a small group of friends or to go on a date, especially on Wednesday’s when there’s $25 bottles of wine. Happy hour menu is pretty good and included flatbreads and pizzas (lasts until 7pm on weekdays). The pepperoni pizza is straightforward and good but I would get the goat cheese and Brussels sprouts pizza (not on HH) for the best pizza. I polished one off on my own (I was hungry) but you could split a pizza with another person plus an appetizer and walk away feeling pretty full. The service is really prompt and efficient with clearing out plates and making sure they come by enough. They leave water jugs at the table so you can refill it yourself and you can easily spend a couple hours just hanging out. The lighting is dim and moody and the couches are comfy. It does get loud so you do need to lean in to hear each other but that can work to your advantage :) they card at the door and there’s no parking lot, but there’s limited street parking. They do take credit cards. Overall a cute happy hour spot that’s good for wine lovers.

New 2020 restaurant compliment, a tiny paper bag to put your mask in while you’re at the table. Hah so sweet! Great view of the sunset & beautiful bottle of wine with my girls

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS FANTASTIC PLACE, WONDERFUL WORKERS AND GREAT FOOD

Best happy hour/wine bar/lounge place in town, lounge connoisseur btw

I got here without a mask, and the barista I spoke with was SO kind, gave me a mask for free and advised me on where to park. The cold brew is great, and, more importantly, the staff is fantastic.

Always an amazing spot for wine. Usually very busy. Great service, great food, great wine. Cool vibe too.

What a cute concept and space! I felt the ocean breeze as I worked near the window :) parking is a mystery to me. Where does everybody else park?! I only saw the 40 minute/2hr parking that cost 2.50 an hour 😥

Excellent food excellent company excellent staff! Great place to try new things.

I came here during the day when it is a coffee bar and restaurant. You walk in, order, pay, find a table or seat, and voila! The vibe is relaxed, hip, and nice. One can meet friends for just coffee, or one can be alone, bring your computer, chill and work . The staff are exceptionally kind and service oriented!

Amazingly refreshing drinks, great vibe, and speedy service. Honestly worth the small walk from the beach if youre in need of a relaxing treat.

Bodega is a local mainstay for us in the neighborhood. The staff is always friendly and the patrons provide a good vibe. Try the breakfast burrito - it is dopely delicious!

Great ambience, great coffee. I used to go there to work on my laptop. The manager refrained me from sitting in padmasana, without my footware on (not to put my feet on the couch) but they are okay someone putting their feet on the table (where people generally place their food) with shoes on (I saw someone like that a couple of times). Such twisted logic. I am used to working sitting in padmasana for long hours and if I can’t do that, I have no business going to that coffee shop. Nothing personal against the manager they might be just doing their job.

Be careful with your check. They charge you for the drinks you didnt have. Very disappointing. I would not recommend

Lunch or dinner the atmosphere, drinks, food and stage all get 5 Stars. Always on the list when I’m in LA. Andrew Jackson Wednesday $20 wine bottles

Really cool place. Coffee is always good in the morning (very hard to find a decent coffee in LA).Really cool vibe in the evening, good food and happy hour menu, too.

Magic pricing. If you decide to substitute anything on the menu, you get charged, even for the most fundamental items, such as subbing avocado for bacon, where it would essentially be a net gain on there end, you get charged.

First went to the place in Pasadena a few years ago and recently tried to the Santa Monica location and loved it as well. Great wine and atmosphere

Amazing service by mo. Would come back just for her recos and the vibes.

Beautiful indoor and outdoor areas, great happy hour options and service

Great vibe, affordable prices, friendly wait staff. Ill be going here again soon!

The wine I got had been sitting for a while. I have a decent palate and I could tell that the wine wasnt fresh.. it was cirtus-y. Also, there was a 90-mins time limit, which is not advertised on the website. I selected Bodega to spend some good 2-3 hours but I had no idea about this time limit. I would have chosen some place else if I had know this condition. That really ruined my evening.

Perfect spot for a daytime coffee and co-working space in Santa Monica.

One of the best cafes on West side of LA.

They won’t let you pay with cash but they have a tip jar for cash 👎👎.

Went for an iced latte and it was pretty good! Will have to come back in the evening for some foodEdit: went back for food and it was great! My favourite pizza in LA so far.

Good drinks and atmosphere

Cool spot! delicious drinks and good food !! vegan friendly :)

Great spot, decent coffee.One of my favorite places to hang out!! My go-to for meeting up with people for business or a casual coffee chat. The bar scene is awesome as well.Only reason I can’t give it five stars is because the quality of the coffee is mediocre. Its not bad, but it could be better. It’s about Starbucks quality I’d say. (Get better beans!)

Service was amazing from security to wait and barters...... food good, fun.....salads, pizza, brownies etc. Thank you Bodega Wine Bar

Overall reviews: recommended!Ambiance: casual, cosy and friendlyManue: though limited, decent foodCombination of coffee shop and bar, very appealingFurniture: diverse and practicalOverall i recommend it

My new favorite speakeasy bar! Intimate setting with a rotating menu of unique cocktails. Perfect spot for a date night or to catch up with a friend. Came here on a Saturday and had no trouble finding seats. Drinks are pricey and can take a while to make, but theyre delicious and carefully crafted.

Funky coffee bar with good wifi. The coffee was fairly good and they have the option of almond milk or oat milk. They have USB charging ports and PowerPoints which makes it a great place to do work while enjoying a coffee. Staff were friendly.

Food is great and service is good too. The interior is beautiful, too bad we couldn’t enjoy it. The outdoor seating is great but it was too noisy for my morning because it’s directly on the Main Street.

Fun place a night. Awesome venue with open windows. Been here plenty of times for different events. Just found out how their daytime is...awesome wifi junkie spot! Caffeine and tea $3+. Free WiFi, and lots of seating during the day.

Had the BBLTA. Great sourdough bread perfectly toasted. Excellent bacon. Service was above and beyond. Everybody was super friendly and took care of me. Definitely will visit again.

Great service, more than sufficient range of beer, wine and food. Value for money, but dont buy any Belgian beer on tap.

I was looking for a new place with decent food, good coffee, enough seating, and free wifi to do some work in. I was a bit skeptical to come here but I am so happy I checked it out. I will be back again!Theres a little parking lot on the side and plenty of metered street/neighborhood parking. There are a good amount of seats and the place is actually bigger inside than it looks from the outside. I think theyve really done a good job maximizing the space. The ambiance? Incredible. I came on a Sunday early afternoon and found a comfortable spot to work in and eat my lunch. There were outlets at the bar so I noticed people needing to charge were sitting there.I ordered the avocado toast with an egg and an iced mocha with almond milk. The avocado toast was yummy but I was a bit disappointed on how tiny the egg was. For an additional $3, I expected something more. The iced mocha was more bitter than Im used to, but still good. Next time I go, Ill explore the other menu options.Giving it 5-stars because of how much I enjoyed the vibe and the space for what I was looking for. Im excited to be back soon!

Great place and the service was amazing

Amazing service. Small Plate appetizers are amazingly done. Steak Tartare and veal meatballs were perfect choice for us. Hen Entree was great. A bit noisy, but only because its such a spacious place and very popular.

Great cafe during the day and awesome bar in the evening. Theyve set up a really nice outdoor dining set up during the lockdown, and I would highly recommend that everyone visit.

My first time have coffee here it was fantastic.

Nice wine bar with a large selection of white and red wine. The prices are reasonable and the small plates are very good. Their pizzas, flatheads and starters are delicious. In my opinion the music is good but a little too loud for a wine bar. Its not a big issue though.

Nice atmosphere for outdoor dining and drinks. Liked they had a really good cider also.

This review is strictly for the coffee bar, not the wine/late night stuff. As a coffee shop its pretty mediocre. It was not bad but nothing really special. Treats were also kinda mediocre. Inside seating was fantastic though and a great place if you want to sit down and be productive for an hour while having a cup of coffee and a breakfast burrito. However if you want real quality, just walk 1 more block up the road to Funnel mill for a real cup.

Amaze balls! Vince is the BEST server! Thanks to Hannah for the curtain booth and making this a great date night - pasta with ox-tail? Delish! Scallops? Out of this world - thanks again for a wonderful night!

This place was really nice. Good drinks as well.

This very cool wine bar is also a very hip coffee spot during the day with a small but delicious menu. I recommend the breakfast burrito and the chopped salad is one of the best in town. If you can find a table amongst all the digital nomads its a great spot to hang solo or to bring non-Westsiders that you want to impress.

Obsessed with this place!!! They have amazing coffee and super great staff. Look no further if you’re in the area.

Good spot - lot of outdoor seating for China Disease

I came here with a work friend when I visited LA, and this was the perfect spot. Excellent happy hour prices and a nice vibe. Cool music that’s at a volume that makes conversation possible without giving yourself laryngitis. The bar snacks are good too. We had the tacos and enjoyed them so much, we ordered them again. Granted, it’s hard to mess up tacos but I give these extra points for the homemade corn tortillas and the potato taco, which is a nice touch that’s probably super-common in LA but we don’t often see these on my side of the pond.

Awesome place 😍

This has to be one of the coolest spots in Santa Monica! Coffee shop by day and wine bar by evening, this location can fit all your moods. Bodega has a classy and relaxed vibe where it’s easily acceptable for business or just relaxing after work! The food selection is well rounded and there’s a drink for all tastes! Monday is happy hour all night and that is a great time to make a visit!

This is cool place with such a good drinks and food. This very cool wine bar is also a very hip coffee spot during the day with a small but delicious menu. I recommend the breakfast burrito and the chopped salad is one of the best in town. Great service and well mannered staff.

Wednesday happy hour was great. $20 any bottle of wine. Yummy food. It does get crowded so finding a spot to sit can be tricky the later you go. We got there around 5 and there were still some spots open. Staff is awesome too.

Very chill spot. Pretty decent food and they are doing their best to provide sidewalk and window seal seating.

This is MY local so you shouldnt go there or tell your friends that the happy hour rocks, the staff are friendly and the food is yummy and affordable. It does get a bit crowded after 7 or on Wednesdays ($20 bottles). I love that it has a cool vibe but not pretentious or snooty. I think one of the things I love most is all the little alcoves and nooks where you can hide away from the crowds. LOVE this place (dont go ;)

Perfect place for a coworker get together! I went on a weekday so Im sure my experience isnt indicative of how busy this place gets during the weekend.Loved their sliders, pizzas, and everything else that was finger food. I feel like we ordered every little finger food that was possible. And of course wine, wine, wine.Great for casual hanging out/mingling & lounging around. The servers were super helpful and made the company happy hour go swell!

Its been years since Id been here. The place was really hopping for a rainy Tuesday night. (Taco Tuesday. ) Service was attentive and accommodating of our large group. The nook we chose was also perfect. The acoustics are great. We could hear each other without strain.

The best place ;)

Lovely place, ambience nice, music but not too loud, so can still chat. Prices reasonable and our waiter Keith was the best, attentive and such a nice guy. Will be back.

Amazing vibe, great service and amazing people. I will be going back there for sure

Walked 10 minutes in heels with my heavy af laptop bag to find out they pull the outlets and force people off laptops at 5pm. Easily couldve gone somewhere closer but this place seemed worth it. I arrived at 5:10 and was told no laptops and thats just how they do things. So much for enjoying taco Tuesday and beer specials while getting work done!

Came for coffee, lunch and cool vibe while I work away! Love the environment and Jake was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! Provided excellent service! :)

Beautiful location, beautiful place. Great win and soju selection. Great light beers

Pretty space. Coffee shop with lots of natural light during the day, casual wine bar at night.

What a fun concept! Put drinking together with anything and you know itd be a good time.

Great spot

A regular get-work-done spot during the day. They have a ton of seating, a quiet, relaxed vibe, and good coffee. If you need to put your laptop on a table and camp out for a few hours to up your productivity, this is a good place to do it. Parking is easy on meters on Broadway; Ive never had trouble getting a spot.

Nice bar. Really great bar tender;very nice and knew his stuff. Closed at 1 instead of bar close, that was annoying but understandable

Great finger foods and pizzas, including gluten free for no surcharge (what?). Very good beer selection from bottles (nothing on draft), and the wines are (Im told) excellent. Not cheap. Loud! Festive and social atmosphere that cannot be beat. Did I mention loud? Service was excellent and friendly, despite the overwhelming crowd, which would have felled a lesser serviceperson.

Good and fun bar in Santa Monica

This place in the heart of downtown Santa Monica is solidly what youd expect from West LA hipster eatery and bar. Crisp clean lines angular furniture with lots of beautiful young people. The happy hour is an excellent value by the way has wine and beer of very invitable quality is available for two for one and they really are two for one. Dont know about the others but the waitress we had was exceptional for a large noisy demanding group. She was courteous friendly and unflappable handling our numerous credit cards and repeated orders. The indoor outdoor windows are party cool. They can open fully shutter and you can sit on the edge to get a little respite from a very loud place. The only drawback is its very popular for good reason and hints hard to have a conversation of any sort

Great spot to hang out or date! Nice Wine selection and beers! Vibes and atmosphere are top! Love it

Half off wine Wednesday. Great little find. Staff and atmosphere were enjoyable. Was one of our favorite stops.

Fun spot to get some work done.. good music clean bathrooms. Coffee shop vibe with some craft beer and wine

So weird, no service at all but high tips included before tax. Food really cheap as wine and liquors...

Nice place with friendly staff. Typical CA style resturant. Most of the people come here to have food which doing there work done. They have more comfortable and normal seating . We need to oder food at the counter which they will serve to the table

The coffee here is bitter, and a cappuccino just means latte in a small cup. The place looks quite nice, and the wine selections are OK. If they up their espresso game this would be an awesome pit stop. I love the idea of a wine & coffee place, just make the coffee great!

Great atmosphere to hang out and have a drink. The staff are really friendly and kind. Prices are moderate and they even have a happy hour.

I love Bodega wine bar! Its a great chill place to grab a glass of wine with friends and some yummy snacks! I was most recently here for a work event, and we rented out the front couch space. This was an awesome venue and they were great to work with.My favorite thing here is the goat cheese and Brussels sprout pizza! Its so yummy and pairs perfectly with a huge variety of wines! The bruschetta and olive tapenade and the chopped salad are also super yummy.This is one of my favorite places to hang out and will definitely be back plenty more times!

Hidden Gem. Very cool vibe and layout. Not only does it have killer happy hour specials on food and wine during the week (not to mention the place goes off on Wednesdays and weekends), but amazing coffee; its also a cafe during the day. One of my favorite spots in Santa Monica.

Wine snacks were soot delicious! Definitely was impressed with the service they had to offer here. Waiter was polite and explained all the wines/snacks in detail. Will be coming back when Im in the city. Cozy place with a fire place in the back/bar in the front when u walk in.

Cute if a little bro-y

Cozy wine bar great for first dates. Also makes delicious pizzas. Wednesday night they offer 20 dollar bottles on all their wine. Reckless Love is my favorite bottle, if you forget the name just ask for the mustache bottle, works every time.

Everything is great. Excellent wine, beer and specialty drinks selection. Food is great with wonderfully unique choices for every taste. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Ive been there several times, when theyre busy, its loud, so get there early for their happy hours. I read a couple critical reviews, clearly those folks mothers must have served sour milk from a dirty container. If you dont love this place you have mommy issues. I found the prices reasonable for the quality. Beat the crowds in the promenade and enjoy yourself
