Vegan chips that aren’t $8? LaRayia’s Bodega is brining affordable healthy food to Westlake.
Inside LaRayia’s Bodega, a vegan cafe and shop wedged between a panadería and a hair salon, the vibe is hip and millennial-friendly.
“Healthy food is so expensive, and it doesn’t have to be,” said LaRayia Gaston, who opened LaRayia’s Bodega in Westlake in August. “We want to address everything — food injustice, food waste, homelessness, giving people a second chance. I wanted to kill multiple birds with one stone.” Four years ago, Gaston founded Lunch On Me, an organization that brings 10,000 vegan meals a month to homeless communities in skid row, Venice, Watts and Compton. One Saturday a month, she organizes a block party for inhabitants of skid row, where they can grab a plate of salad and vegan mac and cheese, do yoga, get their hair cut.
Yuca and sweet potato chips with mango salsa are served as a complimentary appetizer at LaRayia's Bodega.
