Embracing Our Roots and Sharing the Flava

Our story begins in the heart of Bushwick, Brooklyn, during the 1970s, where the aromas of authentic Puerto Rican appetizers and fritters filled the air, courtesy of the founder's mother. As a first-generation Afro-Puerto Rican Latina, she witnessed the magic that food held in her Bushwick neighborhood. It was a source of love and connectedness, and it left an indelible mark on her soul. 

Our local bodega wasn't just a store; it was our unofficial social club, where stories were shared, and families were nourished.

Rooted in Latino culture and inspired by the Nuyorican bodega foodie lifestyle, Bodega Flava is dedicated to bringing the love and connectedness of bodega foodie culture right to your kitchen. 

Join us on this flavorful journey, where our roots meet your table.
