It looks like bodegas aren’t just a “New York thing” anymore. A few of them have started popping up in the Gem State, including this convenient locally-owned market in Boise. Bodega Boise prides itself in having a little bit of everything. Whether you need a quick bite to-go or even a gift, this market has almost everything you could need. Best of all, you’ll be supporting a local business when you stop in at this convenient little store. Take a look:
Located in the heart of downtown Boise, Bodega Boise started as a dream from a guy who grew up in the beautiful City of Trees. After realizing there was a lack of locally-owned markets in the area, he decided to open his own.
The bodega is dedicated to providing people who live, work, and play downtown with a place where you can purchase all of the essentials. Need a glass of milk? Or maybe a bottle of hot sauce? They'll have it here.
It's also meant to be a neighborhood hangout - a place where locals can grab a cup of coffee and chat with the cashier for a few moments. It's all about community at this charming little shop, and it certainly shows!
They've even got a couple of pinball machines that are bound to entice both younger and older generations. Come by and play a few rounds to see if you can beat the top score!
On top of an abundance of grocery items, the bodega also offers a variety of grab-and-go meals. If you're in need of a quick meal that doesn't cost a lot, this is the place to stop. Grab yourself a breakfast burrito, sandwich, or salad that's been handmade with love and care.
You'll also find that the bodega is a great place to grab a gift or souvenir. They've got water bottles, steel cups, coloring books, bags, posters, hats, and so much more.
Most importantly, you'll be supporting a small local business when you shop at Bodega Boise. Need anything? Check out this urban marketplace at 10th and Main St. and you're bound to find it! Follow the bodega on Facebook to learn more.
