Reggae Bodega: Houston’s Hidden Gem for Natural Beauty & Caribbean Culture

In the heart of Houston’s Almeda district, there’s a special spot that embraces Caribbean culture, natural wellness, and unique fashion—Reggae Bodega. Whether you’re looking for high-quality shea butter, medicinal herbs, or handcrafted oils, this minority-owned bodega has everything a natural beauty enthusiast could ask for.

But what truly sets this store apart? It's located within a culinary dreamscape. You'll find everything from deep fried vegan dishes at Lindiana's Southern Vegan Kitchen to fresh and flavorful Japanese style masterpieces at the Hibachi Bros Food Truck. 

Pro Tip: Try the Fried Fish Po Boy from Lindiana's. It's made from oyster mushrooms to give you that satisfyingly crispy bite. If you opt for hitting up the popular Hibachi Bros Truck try the New York Strip Steak Entree for a well-seasoned flavor packed meal.

His warm personality and vast knowledge of the store’s offerings make every visit special. Whether you're new to natural beauty or looking for natural remedies, Doc is the person to ask.
