About Bonberi Mart

Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined stretch of West 11th Street in the West Village, Bonberi Mart is a sun-drenched, plant-based convenience store that feels like a wellness enthusiast's dream realized in miniature . Founded by Nicole Berrie, who launched the space as the offline extension of her cult-favorite recipe website Bonberi, the mart was born from a simple observation: there were plenty of high-end vegan restaurants and "junk food" vegan spots, but nowhere to grab truly nourishing, produce-driven food that was both convenient and delicious . The space itself is minimalist and warm—think beautiful wood shelving, excellent natural lighting, and a communal table or two that invites you to sit and stay awhile . The menu is a rotating showcase of vibrant, grab-and-go offerings, including a chickpea tuna melt that one reviewer called "the best sandwich I have ever had," hearty salads like the chickpea niçoise, creamy lentil and potato salads, and a famous lineup of gluten-free baked goods from Knead Love Bakery, including a mochi-like muffin that has been dubbed a city favorite . Beyond the food, Bonberi Mart functions as a curated wellness pantry, stocking clean beauty products (including OSEA), natural home essentials like bamboo toothbrushes, cold-pressed juices, and house-made nut milk for their espresso drinks . While the service has garnered mixed reviews—some find the staff warm and helpful, others have described feeling judged or ignored—the quality of the food and the strength of the brand's mission have earned it a fiercely loyal following and a 4.5-star rating across multiple platforms . With a second location in SoHo, Bonberi Mart has become a destination for anyone seeking a peaceful, wellness-oriented escape and a reminder that eating clean can be effortless, joyful, and deeply satisfying .
