Online grocery service Bread-n-Brie opened last week, billing themselves as "the first eco-friendly approach to deliveries in Manhattan."
Green grocery shoppers frustrated by all the packaging Fresh Direct uses will be glad to hear that "packaging is neat and conservative no needless wraps or layers, only enough to keep food fresh and safe," according to a press release reported on Racked.
Bread-n-Brie offers two delivery options to limited parts of Manhattan: home delivery by bicycle to residents of the Upper East Side and West Village, or free pick up at a few local retailers.
We're inspired by their environmentally conscious approach and their "un-delivery fee" (if they don't show up on time with your order, they'll credit you with 50% off your order), but found the website difficult to use.
Bread-n-Brie is offering 20% to first-time customers. If you try it, let us know how it goes.

I just got my second B-n-B delivery, the website was hard to use at first, but once I got used to navigation it was really great. The groceries were of better quality than I expected, or that I got from FD. The vegetables and fruits were fresh, the poultry was excellent, and the cakes were to just die for. ï The B-n-B delivery guy, asked me whether I wanted to keep the boxes, of course, I did not and he just took them, leaving me with really cute bags. Oh, and the delivery was on time.
I emailed, B-n-B about some suggestions, and they responded right away saying that they will add my food suggestions.
