“They kicked my friend and I out for taking to long but he was tryna buy groceries and I was not about to spend all of my money in an expensive market. Other than the "Hold Up" the store was pretty nice. A variety selection of snacks and they take EBT”
“First time there, Raymond from the wine section was tremendously helpful, i had a ton of stuff to bring to the car and he went out of his way to help me out. Much appreciated.”
“The arrival of Trader Joe's to the Freidnship Heights is a significant , long waited, improvement to the quality of life in the neighborhood. Expected to provide some downwards pressure on pricing policies of the local Whole foods market and expand variability in available supply, including from imports. Taking into account recent opening of Lydl nearby, the local grocery situation becomes even more enjoyable.”
“What a lovely neighborhood store! Got a great and simple sandwich on my way across town and enjoyed the friendly staff and the local artists' works on display.”

“I love wandering around in Rice Market - it feels like entering another world, with an incredibly comprehensive and fun selection of beautifully arranged food and home products. I work nearby and come for the hot prepared grab-and-go food, which tastes more like grandma's cooking than a restaurant. In cold weather, the outside terrace is empty, so you can enjoy delicious hot food in the refreshing cold and people watch for 10-15 minutes.”
“Very good small supermarket, with fresh produce and lots of Latin American products. The papaya there was the best I’ve ever had in DC. Let’s support these small stores that make DC streets more interesting!”
“If you don’t know about this dynamic duo that is back for the fall/winter season at Trader Joe’s, you ARE missing OUT!! If you like a luxurious cheese spread hide these cause you will not want to share. Don’t say I never shared with you?”
“Awesome neighborhood corner store. I grew up in the area and have been impressed with how the store has grown over the years. It really has become a part of the community.”
“The customer service here rocks!! Everyone is so attentive, helpful and knowledgeable - it's like they live and breathe Mom's mission, which doesn't happen often in a grocery store chain. Their product is always stocked, and organized. I never leave without anything I needed. 5 stars for Mom's on NY Ave!”
“I am just reviewing the food. It was really nice. The servers don't really speak English but I was able to point and gesticulate what I thought looked nice. The shrimp in the creamy soup was delicious and so was the rice and plantains. I went back twice. It was 16.25 for a very large serve of food. I had some leftover for dinner. If you're looking for great takeout, come here.”
“This Whole Foods upholds its reputation of being clean, with great produce, and friendly service. Plenty of parking in the garage. Some products I don't see at other Whole Foods locations is a plus.
Still some things I didn't find. I was looking for Injera chips, fresh spearmint, and a bunch of beets. None of this was available which was disappointing since I usually pick those items up at the Riverdale, MD location. Nonetheless, I found everything else and enjoyed my trip overall.”
“They have good products with fair prices! Specially the dairy products and most of their products are organic and not expensive. If you want to buy meat, this is not the place to go.”
“Had to make a quick dinner decision. No hot wings, baked chickens etc. Justin boxed frozen dinners. No family meals. Single frozen dinners. Accepts EBT but not the Senior Healthy Benefits UCard. The Convenience Store is in an ALL income area. Home owners, renters, and Seniors. Most people are on a fixed income and Seniors could buy more if they had more fresh fruits and veggies and accepted the Senior Benefit Card. The younger home owners have a great selection of wines.”
“This grocery store offers an elegant shopping experience with easy access. There are always great deals on a variety of items, making it a top choice for both convenience and value”
“Such a nice place to come and appreciate many stuff. Bought goods and they are good. Wanted to buy more, but I would've wasted all my money. The girl working there is such a nice person.”
“Not only are the fruits and groceries fairly priced but it’s honestly *one of the only places* that actually has affordable hot meals in the whole area. The Tamales are hella good ?If their landlord raises their rent and prices them out I will riot. Or at least tell all my neighbors and local orgs to support them and shame the landlord. It’s happened to too many good places recently”
“Love the treatment I get here as a small-time shopper.
My only complaint: Please bring back Lacrima Christi and some Strub reislings. Piesporter Michelsburg”
“The nicest deli and owners around! The store is always stocked with everything that I need at a reasonable price, and has great hours. In addition, I can always count on getting a warm and familiar smile from the owners! They are+ the store is truly a gem! :)”

“Fantastic selection of beer, wine, and snacks, and reliably has pantry staples like sugar, flour, onions, coffee creamer, etc. Owner/manager is friendly and pleasant, and the "requested items" board near the entrance is a nice touch. I live on the other side of Florida Ave NW, but will happily walk the extra blocks to get here!”
“I went to SE Liquors Market to buy a 6 pack of beer to eat some crabs with a friend's house. It is well stocked with a nice variety of beer, wine and food as well.”
“Very passable deli. Have ordered wine and sandwiches here. Found it to be very solid and very good overall service and food options. very low price and decent quality - would recommend for people who need a quick bite!”
“This is a friendly neighborhood store were you can find a little bit of everything! The couple who own the store are kind and family oriented! They greet everyone like family with the respect and conversation like back in the day! Their prices are good and the fish rice and salad are delicious for lunch or dinner! My whole family loves it!”
“Was staying at a nearby hotel, and thank goodness that we found this place! Good selection, good prices, good service - saved us more than once in this expensive area of DC !”
“It's still five stars here, and they also opened the nearby Sara's Market. Love them both. But now the "food desert" aspects of Georgetown have improved since my previous review. We got our Whole Foods back (although it is mechanized, so the ambience sucks), and Trader Joe's opened, as did Wegman's and Streets. So there is competition, definitely, but this little corner shop still has my heart.”
“The traffic around this Trader Joe's is very busy and can get congested. Surprisingly though the inside of the store is much more spacious than the other stores I've been to in DC. Products are consistent and always in stock.”
“I'm a MD grad so definitely have been here many times. Favorite spots for food depending on your mood:Upper levelLedo's for pizza & chicken strip baskets. Kosher Korner - anything you order will be good. Catalyst Hot Dogs - fun new twists on the traditional favorite. And they have good fries!Lower levelConcession stands 3-4 behind sections 103/4 have good crab dip nachos (if you like spicy ask to add jalapenos).”
“Everything you need. There wasn't any organic produce, but the selection is sufficient for most needs. Most common cuts of beef are available but they are very thin cuts. No grass fed options available.”

“This place is amazing. Not only are the prices for specialty cheese fairly competitive but if there’s something they don’t have that you want they’ll order it for you, plus they let you try anything before you buy so there’s no buyers remorse!”
“I'll preface by saying that this Aldi is located at the crossroads of a gentrified H Street and about 4 different hoods. With that said, the crew at this store are able to keep shelves stocked, and their store clean and mostly peaceful. Every associate is helpful and not rude. They usually have the main items you'd come to an Aldi for. A bit smaller than suburban locations but definitely not lacking in the staples and brands you'd expect at an Aldi. The only criticisms are that the lines are usually incredibly long, and the restrooms can be pretty filthy between checks but those are really minor gripes and more due to how crowded the overall area is.
Great job Aldi ?”
“Looking for tofutti ice cream. They just had tofutti cream cheese. Then at the demo station they had watermelon mozzarella ugh. They did have police looking weirded out”
