LaRayia’s Bodega
675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Atlanta, GA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into Ponce City Market's food hall, LaRayia's Bodega brings an authentic Brooklyn bodega energy to Atlanta with a warm, Afro-Latina touch that radiates through every interaction. Owner Venus and her team craft generous, thoughtfully-made bowls and drinks—from peanut butter açaí to fresh smoothies and creative matcha drinks—that feel both nourishing and indulgent, making it the kind of spot where you'll linger over your order or grab something quick depending on your mood. It's the rare place that balances health-conscious offerings with genuine hospitality, plus there's parking and a curated selection of jewelry and clothing that adds to the whole vibe of discovery.”

This is a great spot. The owner is from Brooklyn and is Afro-Latina. I enjoyed myselfit feels like you're in New York at a bodega getting a smoothie. The customer service was great, and the wait wasn't long. It's a great hidden treasure in Ponce City Market. They sell jewelry, clothing, and other unique items. I had the Poetic Peach it was so good Check them out
Venus was AMAZINGGG and so welcoming. If you’re into fresh smoothies, juices and all things health plus more! Jewelry pieces, clothing. Everything was fresh! Come check them out. They’re from Brooklyn and bringing the vibes to ATL
I tried the peanut butter açaí bowl and it was absolutely delicious. The portion was quite generous, so my friend and I shared one as dessert after our meal. The toppings were prepared with care and the peanut butter in the açaí base gave it a wonderfully nutty flavor. The owner was very friendly, and I definitely want to come back again!
I decided to check out this location. First off parking is available at the ponce city market area. That was a plus. LaRayia’s Bodega is in the food hall. The music was nice. I was greeted. Customer service excellent. The things I ordered was Cardi B smoothie. It was very tropical not sweet just right. The cold press juice both refreshing. Casa Verde very healthy green juice. If you don’t like celery, I would not recommend this particular juice. My favorite item was the breakfast sandwich. I had the bacon, egg, cheese sandwich. The bacon was crispy and smoke like flavor. I do want to emphasize the sandwich was all vegan. Overall it was an amazing experience. I was so overwhelmed because the location sells alot. It has tshirt, artwork, necklaces, earrings, hats, smoothies, tea, coffee, juice, candles, crystals. They have it all. I will be back. If you are in the area make sure to check them out.
Loved this place! Found it on happenstance. My last day in Atlanta and after being disappointed by the vegan offerings I was glad to eat something hot and delicious. The nachos were goods, great toppings the only thing I didn’t enjoy was the chips they used. The greens were smoky as advertised. Wasn’t a fan on the cornbread crumble and the sparkles threw me off because I didn’t expect them. Cute though. The butter pecan ice cream was divine. I’d buy it by the carton if I could. Very good and I’ve been vegan for quite some time and this is one of the best ice creams I’ve had. Would love to try more of the menu next time I’m in ATL. The rest of the bodega is really cool. They have some dope products, shirts and a lot of other things. Highly recommend if you are a vegan eater enjoying Atlanta.
