LaRayia’s Bodega

The Westlake neighborhood received a great addition thanks to the arrival of LaRayia’s Bodega. The modest grocery store founded by LaRayia Gatson is a wellness oasis on West 6th Street. One of L.A.’s few bona fide bodegas, the store encourages healthy eating with a supply of vegan and vegetarian food, and natural items like vitamins and sea moss are always in stock, too. To help the surrounding community, Larayia’s maintains a grocery section that sells familiar brands and baked goods at highly affordable prices.
