The Marlene market is highly recommended for those looking for natural medicine without chemicals. The place has hot and cold healthy food, and medicine for the treatment of common illnesses. Great for vegetarians.

Deli FAQs

  • Do you make everything in-house?

    Most of our deli items are made fresh in-store, and we also bring in a few carefully chosen products to round out the menu. Want to know what’s made here vs. brought in? Just ask at the counter.

  • Can I see ingredient lists for deli items?

    Yes. We’re happy to help - just tell us what you need, and we’ll walk you through the ingredients.


  • Do you have options for common dietary needs (gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan)?

    Yes. We usually have a mix of plant-based and allergen-aware options available.

  • How do you handle allergens and cross-contact?

    We take allergens seriously and can point you toward options that avoid specific ingredients. Our deli is a shared kitchen, so cross-contact is possible. If you have a severe allergy, please tell us so we can guide you to the safest choice.


  • Is your juice and smoothie bar made with real fruits and veggies, and are your juices and smoothies organic?

    Yep. We use real fruits and veggies, and all of our produce is organic in the juice and smoothie bar. Questions about other ingredients? We’re happy to tell you what’s in your drink.

  • Can you make my smoothie high-protein, more filling, and nutritious?

    Absolutely. Boost protein with peanut butter or hemp or whey, and add staying power with chia seeds, Da Bomb Sea Moss, or flax oil. For an extra boost, add matcha, greens, garlic, spirulina, or bee pollen.


  • What kind of coffee do you serve?

    We offer quality coffee, including fair trade and organic selections when available. Ask what’s on drip or espresso and we’ll share what it is.

  • Can I call ahead for deli orders?

    Yes. Call ahead is great for sandwiches, grab-and-go pickup, and larger orders. For bigger items or catering, we need 48 hours.

  • Do you offer catering or party platters?

    Yes. We can help with sandwich trays, salads, sides, and other crowd-friendly options. Share your headcount and any dietary needs, and we’ll suggest a spread.

  • How do I find out what’s available today?

    Come in and have lunch. Selection can change day to day, so if you’re looking for something specific, give us a call and we’ll tell you what’s ready.


    Note: Ingredients and availability can change. For the most accurate info, ask a deli team member to confirm your item.
