Bodhi Leaf Coffee Traders
Coffee shop
👍 I only had their egg, cheese and bacon sandwich one morning. It was good with your choice of sauce (which was also good), but a little pricey. I’ll try their coffee next time. They have very worldwide choices. Servers are friendly with the regulars.

👍👍 Finally had an opportunity to visit 3rd place coffee. It’s a wonderful spot in the Ralph’s shopping center with lots of parking. It definitely can feel like a good 3rd place option (IYKYK). Lots of chairs and tables to hang out and visit and enjoy a drink or something to eat. We savored the hot matc...

Coffee shop
👍👍 I discovered this location from visiting the near by Tesla Supercharging Station. The place is nicely laid out and open. The restroom is code access and therefore much cleaner for the patrons. There were at least three people working the stations which made the ordering and pick up process fast an...

Restaurant
👍👍 Real hole in the wall place, you wouldn’t expect such a nice restaurant in a strip like this, but it absolutely is so much better than what you’d expect. Really love the vibe in the place, I think it would be the most perfect date restaurant possible. Maybe a bit on the expensive side but every sing...

Pengo Drink Station
Juice shop
👍👍 What an interesting find in the middle of a totally unexpected place. Drinks are good. I do liked the smoothies, mango tango and mangonado. Kiss of Dragon was interesting. Most of the servers were pleasant. Boba was fresh. The only issue was that the cups were unstable due to small round bottoms.

👍👍 Bartista was super kind and sweet! Gave my nephew a cookie (he made a new friend). Its split into 5 stories. I recommend the Afogato (2nd floor). 3rd floor has specialties like the Guatemalan Barrel aged whiskey (has no alcohol) but is the one of the best coffees i have had. The 5th floor is a small...
