Bodira Cafe and Fine Foods

Outstanding service and fantastic deli and fresh cheeses. Have to get the veal on a bun.
A place for all in Markham to get authentic Italian meats and cheeses and many other fresh and packaged products at very affordable prices.
Ann and Sebastian are the owners and were so friendly from the moment I walked in the door.
Will be a regular stop for me.

Was in the neighborhood looking for a bite to eat. Thank you fellow Unilocalers for suggesting this lovely café. Walked in and the owner greeted me with a warn smile. I told him this was my first time there and he was so eager to explain things off of his menu and even offered me samples to try. He even suggested what combo to try in my sandwich (Capicollo, Sopprata Sada, Provolone = YUM). Their weekly special was a ham and cheese sandwich for $ 5.99. They also have a number of hot entrees that are homemade from fresh ingredients (they grow their own basil). The owner offered me a complimentary Cappuchino which was smooth and delicious. He introduced me to his lovely wife who told me more of their history — their families came from the same small town in Sicily, they’ve been in business for 3 ½ years and they treat their customers like family. They do catering and they keep a stash of frozen eggplant Parmesan and lasagna (2 «Italian» servings meaning large) that you can take home and heat up for days you don’t want to cook but want a home cooked meal. Also their imported meats and cheeses are about $ 10 cheaper than in grocery stores. Gotta try their gelato during their Summer months because that’s the only time they offer it. Can’t praise this place enough for their hospitality, customer service and their delicious authentic food.

Stumbled upon this amazing little place while on the hunt for good coffee.
It is owner run/​operated and we had a lovely time chatting with the owner while she explained her delicious offerings. My husband ordered an Italian chicken sandwich, and being Italian, said it tasted just like something home-​made. Customers kept coming in for the cannoli and so we decided to order four to take home — the lovely lady brought two out for us to sample while we had coffee! These were absolutely delicious.
We also took home some rice balls and these were also heavenly. We cannot wait to return!

Found this rare authentic small Italian café in the Boxgrove area, loved it! Cozy, comfort food, they have imported ham and cheese from Italy, owner is friendly and nice. There’s a stand up bar where you can have coffee and chat with the owner just like in Italy! It’s definitely a gem in the area. I’m not a big fan of Starbucks or chain fast food restaurants, I enjoyed this local café a lot. Will come back for sure! I had pasta with vegetables, very home-​cooking like and tasty. They have a very good drink selection as well with reasonable price. All you have to do is ask.

Great place to pick up your fine cheese, deli meats and Italian imports.
Now taking orders for Christmas baskets.

Bodira Café is tucked at the corner of this little plaza at the corner and 14^th Ave and Boxgrove By-​Pass.
You can say it is a café as it does serves Espresso drinks and some counter for you to drink your morning coffee just like in Italy. Aside from that, there is a little round table for 2 where the owner chilling out with his friend when I walked in.
Cappuccino ($ 2.50) is nicely made and delicious went well with the complimentary EMMA Almond Biscotti. How he knows almond is my favourite?
Aside from drinks, there is also a great selection of groceries that are imported from Italian.
Really nice small coffee place, a great addition the the neighbourhood!
