Bodega South Main

Cute small place with a neat atmosphere. A group of us were in Fort Worth for work and we stopped here for an hour or so one night. We played a card game at the table that we got off the shelf. We ordered some grazing boards and some drinks. I love that they sell cocktails in capri sun bags.

I had the Cuban, and my wife went with the Italian sausage, kale, and sweet potato soup — she was still raving about it 20 minutes later! A savory blend that worked perfectly together. She asked for some crackers and was given homemade croutons — that’s a winner. My Cuban was good, just a touch sweeter than expected, and we finished things off with a couple of cookies. That old-time Southside charm is all over this bodega and the area.

I went for a lil bite… and left obsessed. 💕✨ Bodega South Main in Fort Worth is that spot. I ordered the Cuban Panini and baby… it was pressed perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and melty on the inside, and packed with flavor in every bite. The balance was on point (not dry, not greasy, just right), and it’s the kind of sandwich that has you sitting there like “okay… one more bite” until it’s gone. 😭🔥 The vibe was cute and the service was fast, so it’s an easy stop whether you’re grabbing lunch or doing a little South Main food run. 10/10 I’m coming back.

Fresh buns and sliced roasted beef were just sitting there, and they even had carrot cake for dessert! That was my lunch. The staff was awesome, and since it was after 2 PM, the place was super quiet. It was a bit pricey, but totally worth it.

small but mighty menu, i had the ham and cheese croissant and my friend had the vegan panini, both were excellent! reasonable price and good sitting options. person who took our order was very lovely and kind; they also had some fridge options as well like breakfast tacos and lasagnas.

This place is absolutely amazing. The staff is warm and welcoming and the food is absolutely amazing. The paninis are extremely delicious, but the cinnamon rolls are to die for! They are made from scratch with love and dedicated hands. The best cinnamon rolls west of the Mississippi in my opinion. They are pet friendly and my dog is absolutely disappointed when they're closed for the day. QT could learn a thing or two from here ;-D

Must say I have zero regret coming to Bodega South Main. It was my first time. Allison and Tasha were amazing. I highly recommend the Reuben Pannini. It was delicious.

Turkey Brie $17.00 Boars Head turkey, french brie, dijon, apricot preserve, with house dressed arugula on Empire Bakery sourdough. Great sandwich. Good vibe in the place. Not sure the almost $25 bill will bring me back.

This place is so good. I didn't get a picture of the turkey and Brie panini we ate, but it was delicious and fresh. Worth the price. We came in expecting more shopping options like a neighborhood market vibe but unfortunately it's been limited since Covid (according to the staff) due to low foot traffic. Would be a shame to see this place go. We need more things like this in Fort Worth. Go try it out for a quick lunch.

Cute little spot serving panini's, soups homemade baked goods and probably more I didn't notice. When entering just walk to counter to place order. I had the Cuban and the wife had the Italian sausage kale sweet potato soup which she was still raving about 20 minutes later a savory blend that went well together she ask for some crackers to go with, and was given homemade croutons that's a winner. My Cuban was good a touch sweeter than expected. We finished it off with a couple of cookies. That old time Southside charm is all over this bodega and area.

I have seen this place several times. I think I might have gone in before but I can remember. I had an hour to kill waiting on car repairs and was hungry for lunch. The options are limited but the sounded good. I decided to have the Turkey Brie $17.00 Boars Head turkey, french brie, dijon, apricot preserve, with house dressed arugula on Empire Bakery sourdough. The price was a little high for a sandwich and a small amount of chips (in my opinion). Plus add in a drink. I spent close to $25. The sandwich was really good. Great flavor combination. Service was great. Quick. I will return to try some of their delicious looking cakes. It seems a lot of the foot traffic is from the apartment complex across the street. Good place. Will I make it a weekly stop? No, but a good spot for something different.

Food - 5 | Service - 5 | Ambiance - 3.5 Bodega South Main is a quaint little spot along the popular South Main strip in Fort Worth. The bodega is very small, selling a limited number of items (some condiments, meats, a few shirts, and some drinks). The store has two interesting components: the cafe / sandwich station and the tabletop rental area (cool to see interesting paltes). The cafe / sandwich station was incredible. I tried the 'turkey and brie' and the 'ham and gouda' with the tomato bisque soup. These were delightful. The ham and gouda was spectacular. I'm likely going to be craving it for the next few months. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend that you stop in!

This is a unique little spot to grab a snack! The employee taking my order was so sweet and patient. I ordered the poppy seed bagel with salmon schmear and tomato as well as a black coffee. The 817 (like our area code) Roasted Coffee was delicious! It is a local brewery. I savored my cup of Joe to see what hints of flavor I picked up, I got a slight taste of cocoa in there. It wasn't a burnt taste at all, smooth yet bold. I would call it a medium bold blend and you can pick up the beans from the front entry window. The bagel with salmon smear was good, almost like a fish salad. I asked if it was made with cream cheese or Mayo, she said cream cheese. She toasted my bagel which gave it a nice crunch. I also ordered salted chocolate chip cookies, those were SCRUMPTIOUS! Additionally, they had snicker doodle cookies and cranberry muffins. I noticed she was about to pop some more cookies in the oven, yum! I spoke with the owner who said she buys from the bagel company called Everything Bagels because she is from Wisconsin and that's just her favorite brand. Very interesting! I add that in case anyone wondered if the bagels were made fresh on site. I deducted a star because parking is kind of a hassle. I thought by going first thing there would be spots close to the door but I was wrong. It's okay, I was prepared in case I had to walk a few blocks. However, if you drive down W. Broadway Avenue you will find more parking spaces. Good thing! There are grocery items and refrigerated drinks to be bought. Also, there is a print station if you need. Just email your documents OR you can start a print order online. Both websites are listed on my attached picture. Definitely convenient! It was a beautiful day to walk around downtown and I recommend stopping in!

Walking into Bodega South Main, I immediately felt "at home." Vibe/decor is open and welcoming. Team members do there tasks with smiles on their faces, and owner Tasha is right there with them - creating delectable edible offerings and sharing her awesome spirit. Highly recommend the coffee, which is a subtle roast that warms your heart and energizes you. Also, try the quiche in the morning... I am a proud quiche snob, and theirs is epic! I was blessed to drop-on when cinnamon rolls were available - whatever is in that drizzle must be made by pastry unicorns bc it's creamy but not too sweet. Make sure eat AND shop - they sell unique gifts, spices, teas, t-shirts, bags, etc. SPECIAL shoutout to owner, Tasha... Thank you for planting roots in Fort Worth, bc we are blessed by you!

First of all, the location is a great place for a quant getaway. Upon walking in my expectation immediately went up another level. The music was so chilled. If you are in a rush and walk in here your body and mind will go into relax mode. The shop caught me off guard and surprised me. From the outside you could not see the magic with in. There was everything (of course in moderation). Wine, veggies, chips, coffee, etc.. The owner was such a friendly beautiful spirited person. She was so easy to talk to. Well, when I received my smoked Salmon with Schmear it was amazing. She recommended the poppy seed bagel - it was spot on. The tomatoes were perfect. I may have never had a tomato thats flavor ever tickled my taste buds as this. This is my new hideaway.

Adorable beautiful bodega with all the essentials- super friendly staff. Lots of smiles and very accommodating. Super sweet. Food-We had the salmon bagel, tomato basil soup and the Turkey and Brie panini. They were so nice and very pleasant. Parking was a little tricky, but we found a spot across the street. The salmon bagel was toasted to perfection- the smear was good. The tomatoes were a little soggy. We added a little salt and pepper. The Turkey and Brie panini came with chips and a pickle. Very interestingly delicious flavors. Toasted, tangy and sweet. The tomato basil soup was very soup soothing- and robust- great consistency and just the right add-ins. Something cool- they had a printer for the community to use. I was very intrigued . One thing that would be awesome- maybe have a station for extra napkins, salt and pepper packets and utensils. They also had refrigerated items for sale- breakfast burritos, parfaits, essential items- Great place- clean bathrooms too! Thank you, Yelp for a great opportunity!

I had a great sandwich and cupcake from Bodega. The staff there is very friendly and the restaurant itself is very clean. They do offer some seating, but I imagine when they're busy it may be hard to eat inside. I had their Cuban sandwich, which was really good. The next day, I tried their quiche for breakfast which was really good as well. Can't wait to go back and try more goodies.

Umm.. Yes!! Bodega South Main is where it's at, it's an all stop shop. Literally bodega style & I love it. While waiting on my salmon bagel I browsed the shelves. Quick grab household items (think dishwashing soap,paper towels, etc) to snacks and dinner (chips, dips, frozen Indian meals, Boars Head meat and cheeses, pasta & different sauces) So much more... See pics for the variety! The salmon bagel was delicious. I also ordered a piece of quiche, which I'm saving for breakfast in the morning. ***updating.. that quiche was amazing!*** Locally brewed from 817 also very good! Staff were incredibly welcoming & sweet. What a treat! I will be back. Couple takeaways.... *Free 2 hour street parking. * Outdoor tables * Shop while you wait on your food (wine, tea, food, more) *Take a book, order a coffee & a bite to eat. Relax. *The music isn't too loud, it's perfectly "just there" in the background

Sandwiches are mediocre and super over priced. I ordered the turkey & Brie (priced at $17), there was some type of sweet sauce in it and it overpowered the sandwich. The concept of the establishment was cool but as I was eating my sandwich, I couldn't wrap my mind around the fact that I paid $18.40 for it and it was nothing exceptional lol just the sandwich, no drink.

Looking for fresh, finely crafted paninis served in a charming ambience with excellent service? Then check out this place on South Main. ASAP!

This place is just super cute. Bright my niece and we had a lovely time. It's 75° outside and my niece wanted hot chocolate so I followed suit and had coffee. The coffee is good quality. My niece had the apple cinnamon muffin (delicious and pretty big) and a banana and I had the sesame bagel with smoked salmon schmear. Holy smokes, bud. That was sooooo good. It comes with tomatoes and capers but I asked for no capers. This schmear was freaking legit. It's not fishy, it's delicate, and don't be like me and eat it like an ogre and you won't get it all over your hands. =D I don't live close to here but I would definitely come back to try their paninis if their muffins and bagels are this good. Great experience. Actually taking a turkey and brie panini to go. Excited about lunch already.

Best quiche I've ever had! I ate one and ordered one to go before leaving! They have season soups and grab and go as well.

This is a lovely little spot, and pretty unique for Fort Worth. You don't come by boutique bodegas around here often. I really enjoy the casual, minimalistic atmosphere. This is a simple little grocery store and deli with sandwiches, paninis, salads, soups, baked goods. Local coffee and cold pressed juice. Kombucha. The grocery is small and has essentials, plus speciality items like alternative flours and milks, etc. Find some interesting wines and beer. I purchased a cab franc I really loved for $20! Bodega South also puts together some speciality items like custom charcuterie boards and a "Texas Themed" gift bags filled with local goodies... Browse a bit for present ideas!

This place is awesome! They have great options at the deli, my favorites being the pulled pork panini and their Cuban sandwich. You can order in store, place an order online through their website, or call it in. They make it easy to get what you need in which ever method you prefer. The staff has always been very kind and welcoming and I recommend it to anyone wanting to grab a nice lunch or if you're needing a quick pick-me-up from the section that's not the deli. If you haven't been then what the heck are ya waiting for?

Solid choice for a quick lunch. The sanwiches are made to order and they also have a too go case. Perfect neighborhood location to grab last minute staples.

A highlight to my mornings! Delicious food, access to pantry staples, and even pet food and body wash. They have everything a local bodega could ever need! Come for the quiche, stay for the wonderful staff

I was recently introduced to Bodega South Main from a Yelp Elite Event. I enjoyed the experience so much I brought my husband back two days later! I love this local spot. Tasha is the owner and gave me a brief overview of her bodega and immediately made me want to sit and continue to talk. While the Bodega is enough to want to visit on its own, Tasha is the kind of person you want to support because of her heart and passion for what she does. It is evident in the food, the welcoming environment, and the thoughtful presentation of items for sale. I have had the smoked salmon spread on an everything bagel with tomatoes, delicious 817 coffee, their cinnamon roll (fresh from the oven) and a slice of their pecan pie! Hubby and I splurged for their MILK ice cream. Not a lot of places carry it and I was excited to finally experience the hype. Parking is available on the street - though it is limited.

An amazingly cute spot on south main! The front of the shop acts as a mini grocery for those living nearby on south main. A bonus is that this is a short maybe 5 minutes walk from T&P station if you are wanting to take the Texrail. That has a few basic necessities like some Morgan's cleaning products and a few frozen goods. Service was top notch during our visit. They went above and beyond taking care of me during my visit. Check out those cookies they have! The coffee was delicious; for sure much better than Starbucks. For the salmon bagel I requested capers and tomato on the side so that the person I was with would try it. More tomatoes and capers for me! The bagel is honestly the stand out part for me. The salmon spread is more of the cream base tasting than the fish. (Possibly something Mayo or cream cheese blend?) I'm sure there's a lot of folks that like it that way, just not necessarily my speed! Overall an awesome place to check out for a coffee and quick snack.

This bodega is a perfect spot for locals that need a good cup of coffee, a snack, or household essentials. They are stocked with high quality items at affordable prices for this community. The staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the shop has fresh flowers at every table for visitors - I love that touch! On our visit, we got a bagel with salmon shmear, capers, and tomatoes and it was a good and filling breakfast. My favorite part was the drip coffee - the brand (I think) is 807 and it was great! Come support this great local spot by getting drip coffee, or take home a package of ramen or pint of ice cream!

What a great breakfast choice! Super walkable area with shops and street parking. The staff here is so sweet and delightful to talk to. Calming music creates a relaxing ambiance and the bagels hit the spot! Crunchy, creamy, flavorful.. couldn't ask for more! Definitely making it a point to hit them up again, next time for a light breakfast or lunch!

Super cute and hidden gem! The grocery store is very neat and the little restaurant space in the back is quaint. Not a vast menu but also a better selection than I expected! I came in for Yelp elite week and received a free salmon bagel. It was pretty good, but also not quite what I was expecting. The salmon was more like tuna and not lox style like I was assuming. But still fresh and good flavor. Service was good with kind workers!

I went here myself on a second trip to visit the store and test out the items. This little store located in a renovated area of town with new local shops, restaurants, food trucks spot, boutiques, condos, and even a brewery. This one still holds the character of the old building: old brick walls, open ceilings, and exposed ductwork and wiring, it adds to the ambience of the area. The store was a neat little spot, deep and narrow, it's a coffee house, small bakery, local store, and gift shop all in one. The coffee was fresh and the beans are from a local roaster, 817 Coffee. The coffee was really good with notes of fruit and sweeter nuts in it, it appears to be a darker roast, almost between medium and dark. The Mushroom Spinach Quiche twas really good with an extremely flaky and soft crust. The Bodega is a great little place. Been there for 2 1/2 years. The only real issue is the parking, it is very limited on the street. Tho that's not their fault, just a result of the renovations and growth that has gone on around it. Outside of that, it's a really nice nostalgic place.

Yum! Got the Cuban to go! Perfect amount of meat! Only was able to finish half! Saving the other half for snack time! Can't wait to back to try other menu items!

Delicious bagel with salmon schmear, capers, and tomatoes. The coffee was strong. The ambience was calm and quaint. The service was friendly. Will definitely come back to try more! If you're wanting a "fancy" coffee, pick it up from somewhere else down the street before or after you get your bagel. They have hot coffee and cold brew only. No iced drinks and nothing fancy. They do have drink options to buy in their fridges though!

I came here for Yelp elite week, so glad to find out about this little spot. I went on a Friday evening and it was not busy at all. Great quiet place to hang out and light food, can probably study here as well. The only bad thing is probably the parking, would be hard to find parking on weekends.

Cute little place to hang out with friends during the day! You will be greeted with friendly staff as soon as you walk in. The bagel and schmear were delicious and the local coffee was great! They have lots of sandwiches for lunch that sound yummy. Can't wait to go back and try a sandwich next

Oh okay.. so I see that I'm going to have to come here more often seeing that it isn't too far from me! Cute location near other eclectic places to visit. I really liked the vibe stepping inside, it gives an industrial home like feel with a mini grocery store inside with a nice playlist in the background .. this smoked salmon bagel was unique in taste and I was pleasantly surprised. Cute place to possibly bring your laptop and do some work..not crowded with a dimly lit ambiance.. come visit!

Tried bodega for the first time today and loved the ambiance as soon as I stepped foot inside! It is such a nice peaceful space tucked away and wish I knew about it sooner! The worker was extremely kind and helpful. It made my morning to go here for a nice bagel and coffee! Their ingredients are great and love the simplicity of everything. The coffee was also amazing and the perfect pick me up for a morning doing work here! I was told I need to come back for paninis so I will have to come back for that and their desserts looked amazing and were all homemade so will definitely be trying those as well:)

Came to visit this cute place because it was on Elite Week list. So glad I tried it. I got smoked salmon on a poppy seed bagel and omg it was delicious! It comes with tomatoes and cappers, cream cheese and of course smoked salmon. It was warm and toasty and did not disappoint. If I lived near by, this would be my go to coffee/sandwich deli. Y'all it's a must try. And of course they have a lot of different items to buy. The service was nice and friendly and they made sure I was satisfied.

This is a great little shop and cafe that's has easy Highway access. There is street parking, but if you can't find any there is a parking lot right around back. I paid $3 for an hour. I came as part of yelp elite and received the coffee and bagel for free, but I purchased the cinnamon roll, muffin, and cookies myself. I'm obsessedddddd with these cinnamon rolls! They are absolutely the star of the show. The bagel was divine as well and I love a good, oniony chive schmear. I took the muffin and potato chip cookies to go and shared with a few friends, we all enjoyed them. My one year old was especially a big fan of the apple cinnamon muffin, which had apples inside and sugar crystals on top. The gals running the place were friendly and efficient. The two things I wish Bodega South Main would improve on are: the selection of sides in the grab and go cooler (maybe I came too late in the day/week - Saturday at noon - but I was hoping to grab a couple sides to go, didn't find any that peaked my interest) and the furniture could use some improvements, the chairs were uncomfy and slippery and the table I sat at was wobbly. That would be minor of course if you're taking something to go, but then that goes to my original point of there wasn't much selection in the coolers. It seems like they could use some help in the cooking area as I think only one of the gals does the majority of the cooking based on the interactions I heard while I was there - I could be wrong though. The grocery part of the shop is really cute with a good variety of healthier snacks and pantry staples than you'd find at the regular grocery store. I'm sure if you live or work nearby it's very convenient for a one off purchase. I think it'd be unlikely you did an entire grocery run here though. Overall I enjoyed this place and if I was in the area I might swing by again. I would love to see daily posts of "what's available today" on their Instagram. That can be very successful for small shops with limited inventory.

This place is so awesome! It is nestled in such a cute area. The menu is pretty small but they switch out items often! It is a great spot to grab a quick lunch. The food is a little pricey for what you get but it's expected walking into a bougie little bodega. The food was decent and came out quickly. The baked goods look so enticing. I will have to come back to try the smoked salmon bowl. Maybe one day I can meet Leon Bridges at Bodega...

I've wanted to try Bodega South Main for a while. I had the opportunity for an early lunch on Friday. I had the BEST Rueben, ever. The meat was tender and the sauce spicier than most Rueben's which made it even better! The bakery case was bare. I assume because of the time but I did have a good raspberry thumbprint cookie. I'll definitely return and hopefully get to try another dessert or two!

This place was not what I expected. I thought I would be stopping someplace to get a bagel breakfast sandwich, but I guess I didn't pay enough attention. Yes they have a bagels from a bag with smear, but honestly the selection is minimal and it's no better than making a toasted bagel at home. The salmon smear came with tomato and capers, which was better than the plain smear. I wish I had tried the quiche instead. They have some breakfast pastries, all sweet, so if your more of a savory breakfast person, there's less choices. This shop is super cute, with a small grocery store up front. Not sure I would return but I don't regret visiting. The lady was very nice deposits our multitude of questions. Maybe make sure there are enough napkins in the bag to equal number of people or ordered food.

Great spot living up to its name in a fun neighborhood that has revitalized the old buildings. There was ample free street parking when I was there and more recent stop signs have slowed traffic to make it more pedestrian-friendly. Quality groceries in the front of the store and a nice selection of breakfast and lunch choices in the back at fabulous prices. My bagel was carefully toasted and assembled with a smoked salmon smear, capers, and ripe tomato slice. The cup of house coffee was a smooth blend that was strong but not the least bitter. A beautiful fresh spinach mushroom quiche was just begging to be cut so I took a piece of it home with me for later. (I warmed it gently in a dry skillet the next day for lunch and it was perfectly seasoned, creamy, and filled with the veggies.) The packaging was amazingly minimal with compostable and recyclable materials. The two staff were friendly and helpful making the late morning stop quite pleasant.

First review I have done for the smell of the food cooking, but walked into Bodega yesterday and OMGosh...the aroma of the panini on the grill and the other treats in the cases was intoxicating! This place is real deal...and a must try! Have it on top of list of places to visit, maybe next weekend, while wandering around the revitalized Main Street area. Folks, if you have not visited Main Street, you really should! There is so much new, fresh, and exciting to just park, walk and explore! And head into Bodega South Main hungry...you will NOT be sorry! I truly do hope these folks have amazing success...huge respect for the vibe and all they bring to our growing foodie community!

Be sure to order the potato chip cookies! Omg they're good! The service is wonderful as well.

This local bodega completely exceeded my expectations. The staff was friendly and the shop was clean & welcoming. They also have some groceries on shelves and in fridges; makes a convenient stop if you need something quick. My bagel sandwich was also a pleasant surprise, the bagel was firm and provides a substantial bite. This is honestly one of the better bagel spots in TX, which are hard to come by. I would love to return to try some other sandwich options, would recommend!

I love the concept of this place. I was excited to check it out. The main thing to note: everyone that works there is so nice and friendly! When I stopped in, it was different than I was expecting. It has a very unfinished feel to it, not necessarily a bad thing. Just different than what I was imagining. They have a few little groceries to choose from on one side and a little counter to order from their menu. There's not many options. I got the vegetarian option minus the goat cheese because I hate goat cheese. I replaced it with another cheese. The sandwich was really bad, and I hate to say it. And there's no way that a different cheese could turn it around. Paying almost $15 for a sandwich is already crazy but for it to be underwhelming sucks. They don't have very many options food wise or even drink wise (both on the menu and in their "grocery" section. I most likely won't be back. :(

So thankful to have this bodega in my neighborhood!! This place was seriously a life saver during the freeze in February. They have fresh produce and unique locally made products you can't find anywhere else. Highly recommend coming here for lunch to get one of their paninis! My personal favorite is the roast beef. It's also one of those places where you can't walk away without getting dessert. Their parfaits and banana pudding will turn any bad day around!

I love this place! All of the sandwiches and pasties are so fresh. The owner and all of the employees are super kind and friendly. I get an sandwich from here weekly!

We got the prix fixed brunch and everything was excellent. Turkey & Brie panini was off the charts especially with the house made apricot jam. Croissant was perfectly buttery, flaky, and soft. I'm not a salad guy but I'm craving that chicken arugula salad as I'm writing this. Definitely will be back

I'll admit I haven't had much chowder, but this is the best I've ever had. The sweet corn really comes through. I don't wish I had some cornbread instead of these crackers.

This is a cute little place to eat in ft worth. Great food and very healthy. The staff is very nice and caring. Will eat here anytime I can!

Had the Rueben today. It was fantastic and will be coming back again soon. It was fresh and good portion size. The service was right on time.

Great lunch spot - Tried the Cuban sandwich ($14) and it was excellent. Super nice guy working the deli, made to order and ready in 10 minutes. Great place!!!

Noticed this new addition to SoMo and walked over for lunch. Cutest little bodega with grocery supplies and deli. Tried the ham & cheese panini and a nutella brownie, both were delish and plentiful. This will definitely be a new regular lunch spot!

The panini sandwiches are excellent - they use gluten-free bread if you ask - ham & Gouda with apricot preserves - nice boutique grocery selection for locals
