On Friday, January 23, I stopped by the Safeway located at 3830 Georgia Avenue NW in the early…read moreafternoon to pick up fewer than 20 items. To be honest, my nerves were a bit frazzled that morning. My day had started around 5:00 AM, and with news predicting a major winter snowstorm later that evening, my mood was heading in the wrong direction. Even though I often choose self-checkout for speed, I decided to go through the regular checkout line and I'm so glad I did, because I had the pleasure of meeting Kiara. From the moment I approached her register, Kiara provided exceptional customer service. Kiara was: Efficient Focused Friendly Cheerful Calm ...and welcoming from start to finish. What could have been just another stressful errand became a genuinely fast, fun, and pleasant experience because of her energy and professionalism. Before leaving, I felt compelled to share my appreciation with two managers because Kiara truly made an impact. Kiara was my calm before the storm. Thank you, Kiara, for showing how much kindness and excellent service can brighten someone's day.

They have a far greater selection when it comes to fruits, organic drinks, and nuts and berries. In fact, very few of their these roducts come in boxes. I purchased abquarter pound of wild blueberry granola, and vegetable chips mix. There is a sushi section, and believe it or not ready-made lunch sandwiches. I purchased a turkey croissant sandwich to eat for lunch. I couldn't resist a Kioa cold brew coffee as well. I especially like the authentic peanut butter machine, where you can make your own. Everything is totally awesome about this store, and I do believe it's even more affordable than the big chain organic grocery store.

We got three ripe mangoes for $2, 1 lb of serranos for $2, and three giant green peppers for $2. The spice section was also particularly well stocked, with options that you can't find at any of the nearby stores. The store itself is immaculately clean and tidy, and appears to be family owned. Will definitely be back when I need corn tortillas, a mangonada fix, jalapeños, or a cold Jarritos.

I've shopped here a dozen times, and they carry many items that you simply won't be able to find at a traditional grocery store. However it is somewhat more expensive for the average products like orange juice and milk. The larger grocery chains have better prices overall because they can buy their products wholesale for much less than a small grocery store such as this one. The shopping experience and the interior of the store itself is nearly identical as to what you would find in Mexico or Latin America. They have a decent meat and seafood section, and they also have the most basic produce items. The times that I have come here we're to purchase only a few items. Today I purchased a bag of oranges, and a half gallon of milk.

That's not why I'm writing, however. I recently discovered that the market does Ethiopian takeout and catering. I ordered it today for the first time, and was very impressed. I got the kitfo and the veggie combo, and it was all much more flavorful than I have ever had at restaurants in DC and elsewhere--and very reasonably priced. I'm very, very happy that this is so close to my place--I think I'm going to be ordering from here a lot!

I appreciate the variety of ingredients I can get here, from fresh nopales to cashew milk to tamarind to canned ackee. The huge number of fresh tortillas, both flour and corn, is also awesome. The only thing that would make Avenue better is a more diverse selection--it's missing some basics like nuts and tofu and fresh herbs (besides cilantro and parsley). If those gaps were filled this would be my regular grocery store!

You can also purchase beer and wine at the market. Limited amount of "health food" items, but you'll find soy, almond and coconut milk in frig.
