Bonberi Mart

Bonberi Mart carries Knead Love bakery (also found at the union square greenmarket) local whole grain vegan/gluten-free breads, brownies, and cinnamon buns, and many other nutritious foods, and natural home essentials like bamboo toothbrushes. The store is on quiet 11th street in the west village just west of greenwich st, and has a small seating area by the window.

Cute little local and vegan market that always has a fresh and interesting array of salads and soups, as well as healthy snacks and fun goodies. Always love popping in here to see what's new!

I have been a customer since the beginning and have been getting delivery lately because of my schedule. Their food is high quality so you’ll be paying premium prices, but I would expect my delivered food to be stapled, taped and secured for sanitary reasons. Yesterday, I ordered two salads and told the lady over the phone to please staple my bag because the last couple times I ordered delivery, my bag was not stapled and my soups were not taped. I didn’t bother to give them feedback about it because it’s usually not a regular occur since, but yesterday I kindly asked them to please staple my bag because the last few deliveries were not securely packaged. When I received my order, my bag was stapled way too much and it seems like the ladies working there yesterday were trying to play games with me. It was unnecessary to staple by bag this much. This never happens when Irene is working at the mart as she’s very attentive to detail and considerate of her customers. I’m not interested in playing games and I was kind when I gave feedback and requested that my premium food be handled with care. I don’t want to be discouraged from ordering from here either. Please make the necessary changes because I want to continue being a customer but not if the employees there are going to be careless or disrespectful. That’s very low vibrational

Love it soooo much! Small but mighty! A great selection of snacks, sweet treats, drinks and fresh take away food. The staff is amazing and super friendly & helpful! Everything I’ve tried so far has been consistently delicious & always fresh. I especially love the lentils, potato salad, chickpea tuna, their salads and the ‘knead love’ gluten free bread, bagels & cookies. I’m so grateful this place exists! :)

Love this place. Fresh juices & fantastic matcha latte. Staff was super helpful in directing me to different products I expressed interest in/asked about - even to the extent of offering me a recipe for these noodles I’ve never cooked with before :) Love their dog treat selection, too. And I’m especially particular with these!

The chickpea tuna melt is the best sandwich I have ever had. Incredible. The products are well curated. The service is impeccable. I love it here. Full support.

Love it! Amazing food & coffee and the cutest people working there!:)

The energy in Bonberi Mart has gotten so much better! I think I can speak for everyone that Irene and the new staff make it a very pleasant space and I enjoy going there, exploring their specials & products they carry, and meeting new people. The previous staff, primarily Chelsea, made me feel unwelcome and would feel anxious when I’d go there. I would actually call in & ask if they had certain things in stock before heading over, but in reality I would check if she was working so I could avoid her energy. So glad it’s a much higher vibe there bc their food is top tier!

This place is great! They have lots of healthy options and brands I hadn't heard of before. I came here after eating breakfast elsewhere so I didn't get a salad but they looked incredible and my friend raved about their dressings. I can't wait to come back and give them a try. She also said the brand that they sell there for gluten free baked goods (Knead Love Bakery) is amazing. :)

I'm really struggling with Bonberi. For the past 3 years I have been a loyal customer, frequent buyer, always bringing new people in to try their treats or my favorite: their muffins. As consistent as my loyalty, is their mean customer service. I can confidently say that each time I've visited the store over these 3 years not once have I been greeted with a smile from whoever is working the (very small) store that day. Once, I went in at opening time and asked what the muffin of the day is and was basically reprimanded by the person working that day for not know that muffins are ready at a specific time, not right at open. I've been in at the same time as the owner, who doesn't make eye contact or crack a smile (felt like I was invading her space). More than once I've been the only person on line ready to checkout and not been helped or acknowledged by the person at checkout to the point that I had to walk out without buying what was in my hands. I even have a friend who chooses to wait outside when I go, no matter the season, over coming inside and being subject to the judgmental atmosphere you inevitably face each time. Most recently I went in 30 minutes before closing and the person working there was speaking loudly about how she wanted to close the store early to watch something on TV, intentionally trying to make me and the other customer in there uncomfortable, creating an oddly stressful environment where I just wanted to get a treat (I left without one). I've heard others have been treated similarly. It feels like the only people who are treated nicely there are influencers or pseudo celebrities. They've cultivated a very mean girl environment that I don't support, I left that behind in high school. Again, I really want to love it here, I wish they could just meet me halfway and treat their customers with basic kindness and respect.

I want to like Bonberi Mart so badly but I can't get over the poor service. I've shopped at Bonberi at least 10 times (I love their muffins and chai lattes) and I've left offended and/or confused almost every time. While I've had one or two nice experiences - the cashiers are generally judgmental, unfriendly and slow. The vibe of the shop is uncomfortable and it feels like the cashiers judge everybody who comes in unless they're a favorite. I've gotten very weird looks when asking what the daily muffin is, I've been straight up ignored by staff while waiting second in line for 15 minutes while they chat with another buyer... it's really disappointing behavior and I'm surprised that, based on other reviews on here, there hasn't been a change in staff or customer service training. On my last visit in, I paid with cash - only to be told that they didn't have exact change and then asked if 'I want any of the coins?' as the cashier held up a hand of small coins. I would love for Bonberi to start hiring more professional (and kind) staff. I would stop in more if it wasn't such a bizarre experience.

His place is pure magic. I have to stop myself from going every day. The staff is friendly, food is super fresh and I love the assortment of snacks they have. Truly the best!

Very well-curated wellness/health market. Bonberi has a selection of prepared foods which I've largely never tried (except for their squash hummus, which is bomb), but they also stock a VERY good section of pantry staples and healthy-ish baked goods, including Brutus Bakeshop, Knead Love Bakery, the most amazing green juices from Grassroots Juicery, and spices/condiments/snacks from a diverse selection of brands. I agree that things here are on the pricey side (my bill is always painful), but the curation is so, so good and I justify it by saying coming here is cheaper/more convenient than trekking to several locations across Brooklyn to get the goods.

This is a vegan oasis with a caring staff offering sandwiches, vegan pastries & snacks;I hear the cinnamon rolls are 'to die for.' If you're in the West Village hold out at least for a cuppa organic biodynamic, espresso drink. I had an Americano with oat milk-warmed me from the inside out! I didn't need the red lentil soup of the day which I often make at home anyway. You can also buy the coffee to make at your home.

Given that I really enjoy this place, especially the premade food, I really wish the sales associate/cashier was friendly and helpful. When asking a question it's like we're bothering her and it is really uncomfortable because her rude attitude is constant. (We know other people who shop here and they all say the same thing. Last time I was there, I heard someone right outside the shop complaining about her too.) It's a small business so we want to support the shop as much as possible but I find myself purposefully not going there in order to avoid a rude and negative experience. Especially in the time of COVID, friendly interactions can make someones day. Products and taste is important, but so is a customer experience, and if I can find all their products (except house-made items) elsewhere, I have been choosing to go elsewhere to purchase. Hopefully this changes as I think otherwise it is a great little store with really healthy selections.

Delicious snacks and food that make you feel good from the inside. Highly recommend! I get the juices, dips, and snacks and keep them for meals throughout the week!

Disappointing. Prices aren't listed, so be prepared for a shock at checkout. Upon researching products they carry in-store, I noticed they markup everything 50%-100%. For example, a half loaf of bread that goes for $12 on the vendor's website, will cost you $20 + tax at Bonberi. You get the picture. So, if money isn't an issue, or you're too busy to order it yourself online, then no problem. Snooty vibe as well from the shop owner.

Bonberi has the best vegan juices, soups and muffins in the west village. Also a million other products I love. I always end up buying more than I intended when I walk in. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is because it's so pricey.

I live in Brooklyn and I go out of my way to go to Bonberi. The salads are so good! I love the dulse Caesar and I love to mix in the chickpea tuna -- I hate with some salads how there's a ton of lettuce and a tiny amount of toppings and dressing. At Bonberi there's a ton of cleansing greens but there's also a lot of toppings and enough dressing to go around Plus the yummiest treats by Knead Love and Brutus Bakeshop.

I've been a huge fan of Nicole's blog for a long time and was so excited to come to Bonberi Mart for the first time. The prepared food, snacks, coffee and curated selection of skincare/wellness goods speak for themselves: A+. My only issue (and reason for three out of five stars) are the people who work there. It's unfortunately the type of place that you are afraid to ask for prices because you know you will be judged. Once I had the cashier ring up a loaf of bread and it was in the $9-$12 range (I don't remember exactly). I suddenly realized I didn't want to spend that much on a random loaf of bread upon which I apologized and said I was going to put it back - oh boy, the eye roll and judgement I felt as I sheepishly put the bread back and left the store. It's fun to experiment with new brands but it would be appreciated if they could acknowledge the fact that not everyone has the disposable income to be able to load up on pricey snacks and fun goodies. I don't recommend they lower their prices at all - that's not what I'm saying - I think the brands they sell are premium and the prices are on market for those brands. I'm just asking that they acknowledge it's ok for people to be curious and come in the store to look around without actually deciding to try anything.

Favorite place in the city for delicious vegan treats. Also, perfectly curated display of non toxic products and the nicest staff.

Absolutely love shopping at Bonberi Mart! I've discovered so many amazing brands through them and everyone who works there are so friendly and helpful! Sun rain or snow I will make the trip down. And the gf muffins are out of this world!! One of my favorite places in the city!

I come or get delivery from here at least twice a week. Favorites are green juices, homemade muffins (corn jalapeño omggg) and kale salad. Fresh healthy organic foods that don't compromise on flavor, always. Love them!!

One of my favorite spots ever and they're now delivering!! Prepared foods are everything I ever want - super healthy, of highest quality and absolutely delicious, and the selection of curated items in the shop is amazing. The staff is the best, so friendly and helpful. Can I move in? :)

My go-to spot in the city for gluten free bread, baked goods, and healthy treats. The selection is amazing and the staff is super helpful and friendly. Their in-house bowls, sides, and spreads are also incredible (love the chickpea tuna!). Delivery process is also seamless - spoke to a team member over the phone who put a bag together of exactly what I needed. Could not recommend this place more!!

Bonberi is the best -- favorite place in NYC for healthy pantry items, grab and go bowls and juices, and the BEST muffins ever. Staff is amazing, so helpful and so nice. Delivery is so quick and efficient. We need more bonberis !!!!

Literally my favorite place. Love knowing I'm getting the best of the best healthy foods and ingredients. Their bowls, sides and juices are THE BEST! The whole menu is. Can't say enough about it!!!

As someone with many dietary restrictions, I absolutely love this store! It used to be one of my favorite stops on my walk home from work. Fortunately, they offer delivery and frequently post the menu on the instagram account. The staff is always super helpful and make it easy to place an order over the phone!
