Wanted to love it… - Edit
But the sandwiches were ok. We ordered The Amico and the Delicatessen. Both didn’t taste of much really. Very bland despite all ingredients. Macaroni salad is how you’d expect.
Read moreThe staff were really friendly and helpful and the market is full of treasures. I get the impression it’s more of a market than a deli.
Pros: Location , Staff, Market

Like an all-vegan 7-Eleven! - Edit
So excited that there's a second location now. This all-vegan store offers a decent selection of snacks, drinks, and frozen food, but it's limited by its size. It's comparable to a 7-Eleven if it were all vegan.
Read moreIf you're vegan, this place is a must visit. It's exciting to explore the variety of vegan goodies, something you can't do elsewhere.
They have a surprisingly big menu of hot foods and sweet treats like hot dogs, nachos, soft serve, etc that they make in the back. We got the Vrito Pie, which was vegan knockoff fritos topped with chili, cheese, jalapenos, and onions. It was good but I wish they were more generous with the toppings.
The staff is very friendly as well. They went above and beyond to answer our questions.
If you're vegan, please check this place out!

BESTIES Vegan Paradise at The Original Farmers Market - Edit
Stoked to finally have a plethora of vegan options with BESTIES Vegan Paradise at The Original Farmers Market! The Original Farmers Market has SO much history in LA (since 1934) & is an absolute destination location, but unfortunately, a desert for vegans... UNTIL NOW!
Read moreBESTIES Vegan Paradise, a 100% vegan grocery store with 100% vegan brands run by 100% vegans is SO important, especially in a market location where butcher shops & non-vegan options run galore. A BESTIES location that can incite change from the inside out with an ethical & activist mindset is exactly what embodies veganism & animal rights. Anyone who calls themselves vegan for the animals should highly consider supporting this place.
From a full, prepared foods kitchen with deli sandwiches, salads, hot dogs, soft-serve, & more to a market with all the snacks, tons of essentials, & many times hard-to-find vegan options... BESTIES truly is a vegan paradise.

Soft serve ice cream was amazing - Edit
Really cool spot, I bought some vegan jerky and also got some soft serve ice cream. It was delicious. Lots of options too, small place but with a diverse array of vegan products. Highly recommend

Paradise indeed! - Edit
Besties truly is a boon for vegans. There is nothing like the feeling of walking into a store and being able to buy anything I want without looking at labels!! Though it doesn't hurt to look at the price labels, since all the snacks and chocolates and freezer staples do add up. But it's worth it, because this store has good stuff. Also, the sandwiches are amazing. The Sanctuary 3.0 reminds me of lunches my grandmother used to make me as a kid (complimentary). I'm so glad this new location opened and it's just as awesome as the first one.
Read morePros: selection of products, sandwiches made to order, not having to read ingredients
Cons: some items are a splurge
