Mardi Gras Zone

A really cool and unique bodega. The produce on hand was not fresh and had a good deal of mold, but everything else was completely fine. The woman who assisted me with my purchase was very lovely, suggested I return when they start the pizza ovens open for business soon. If I lived in this town, I definitely would, unfortunately I’m just a passersby, but I definitely recommend this little humble spot for some basic goods, whether unique or familiar to you.

My partner and I are staying in an Inn up the block. We are vegan and wanted a snack when we landed but it was late so we thought maybe this little store may have some chips or something and were really surprised by the options they had there. We ended up getting some Mary’s Gone Crackers and Myokos vegan cheese, some cold brew with almond milk and a bunch of other stuff that we put in the minifridge for the trip. Staff are super nice. It’s a good store.

This store really needs a better sign outside to indicate what's inside. We walked right past this store a few times, until we went in when we needed a few things and we were shockingly surprised! What a huge selection of fridge foods, dry foods, hardware needs, and whole upstairs of all things Mardi Gras and costume related. Amazing! *(Note, no alcohol though). Also, the guy behind the counter was super nice and very helpful. Just a great experience overall. I encourage you to drop in if you're in the neighbourhood.

The store LITERALLY, HAS EVERYTHING! You need it, they have it! They also have a Deli with DELICIOUS hot food, salads, pizza baked in a brick oven... I can't list everything, you just have to check it out for yourself! Trust me, you'll be glad you did! 😁 Since my last review I have been back; well now they are making fresh, scratch made, old style baked breads that are simply amazing right there in the store. It smells SO GOOD! They have even added an entire new stock of Mardi Gras stuff on the 2nd floor. It doesn't have to be Mardi gras for you to get this stuff. Lots of high end gorgeous jackets and hats, masks, boas, skirts! Too much to list! The grocery has also been overhauled with an amazing variety of vegan and vegetarian foods as well as organic and specialty items that are near impossible to find in a brick and mortar retail store. Thought I would give an update since they have worked so hard to do more for their customers. ABSOLUTELY A GREAT PLACE TO SHOP!
