This store really wasn't my cup of tea but the person behind the counter hit me with "the locally grown this... Came from a bakery that". So I said whatever I'll support a mom and pop.
Asked what sandwich to get out of two. The worker suggested the more expensive one. I even bought their over priced Mexican coke which cost $2.20 at my local Mexican restaurant. I saw a few other things that caught my eye but I was on the clock so I thought hmmm maybe I'll swing back in another time / or day.
I purchased everything walked out to my van got 2 bites in.. I dropped sandwich on the ground while inside my vehicle. I walked back to let the person know what had happened. Hoping that it was possible for a utility worker that had been out all day starving and stuck on that that location could get another sandwich (I had it in my hand with the dirt and hairs all over it) but the person behind the counter just shrugged their shoulders and said oh well.
I'm giving one star because they could've easily showed some sort of sympathy or said hey here you could have a apple or something. That would've turned a negative situation into a good one. I had my eyes on some other things on the menu that I wanted to try at another point in time since this is myterritory. But I'll forever hate this place and I'll never spend my money here. I regret buying the overpriced sandwich and drink in the first place.. $16.95 by the way.

It was $5 for what I was hoping to be a fresh sausage egg and cheese on a biscuit, but was a Jimmy Dean's frozen sandwich that they threw into the oven for me

What Pablo and his wife have going on here is amazing! I ordered the tuna sandwich, and it's delicious!

From their sketchy ATM to their tiny selection of products, this market is a terrible addition to the neighborhood. This block of Irving has felt unsafe since they moved in. Also, they ask for a tip when you buy your overpriced pasta sauce. They even try to guilt you into it by parading a baby around. Gross.

Love the convenience of the location from my home! Great selection of snacks and drinks. My wife and I especially love the pastries. Hope it remains a permanent fixture in this neighborhood!

Aurora Market is my favorite neighborhood market! They truly care about us as neighbors and have made so much effort to integrate into the neighborhood and be responsive to the food requests we all share with them. I go here all the time for fresh produce and love talking with them each time I visit. 5 stars!!

A fantastic sandwich for lunch, really friendly service and a lot to offer out of a corner store! Highly recommend.

Top notch selection of fancy foods, yes. But not exactly serving the long time residents in the neighborhood. No amount of representation in their business structure can erase that fact. It's really the elephant in the room and certainly plays a role in their frequent targeting for robberies while other businesses go unbothered.

Came here over a month ago and still thinking about how amazing my experience was!
This little upscale mom and pop corner convenience store is such a gem of a place, located in the Park View neighborhood of DC (about a 20 minute walk from the Colombia Heights metro).
They have an awesome variety of baked goods and croissants that they get from a couple of local French bakeries that were SO good. They offer a selection of subs and sandwiches, only using Boar's Head meat & cheeses (which is some of the highest quality products you can use!).
I love how internationally focused their basic market products are. From Taiwanese soup dumplings to Thai Coconut Milk to Ethiopian Injeera crisps - this market really cares about sourcing a variety of eclectic goods from all around the world!
And last but not least, the owner of the store, Pablo, is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet! He is incredibly passionate about the vision he has for his little mom and pop corner store and it was great getting to chat with him about the name of the place and the simple (yet artistic!) logo that he actually designed for the place.
Excellent experience all around and if you live in the Colombia Heights area of DC - definitely recommend you visit this place for all of your market/convenience store needs :)

Pablo and Rahel are lovely people with an amazing vision for how the Market will serve the community. They've got a great variety of goods, brands I haven't seen anywhere else in DC. Shout out to the iced matcha oat milk latte that Rahel whipped up for and to the iced lemon cake that Pablo recommended. I can't wait to come to one of their live community events!

A great little market with all the essentials. It's also a cafe with breakfast and lunch sandwiches, coffee, and desserts. I love the tres leches! The owners are super friendly, and they said they have plans to host stand up comedy shows and live music downstairs in the near future.
