Bodega Delights x noissue

Bodegas have such a huge cultural impact in many parts of the world, one of which is in New York City. What makes bodegas such an integral part of people’s daily lives is that they offer almost everything—from a wide variety of everyday goods to the most unforgettable food you will chance upon. For the family that created Bodega Delights, that’s exactly what they want to bring from New York to their new home in Los Angeles—a memorable food experience.

Bodega Delights is a family-owned café inspired by the bodega culture in NYC and offers a delectable selection of Dominican cuisine classics. From their delicious, takeout-friendly empanadas and sandwiches to freshly-made smoothies and coffee drinks, this Dominican café sure is the newest delight in North Hollywood.

As a casual kitchen that offers takeout, it is imperative that in every delivery, their food remains fresh and presentable from the kitchen to their customers, so they need packaging materials that are not only high-quality but sustainable too. Hence, they partnered with noissue to create packaging essentials that fit perfectly into their brand. Read on to learn more!
