This larger Aldi location with a nicer than most selection of items including wine and beer is highly approved! Good looking fresh produce, nice variety of "fancy" items at low prices. Only concern, there were no cashiers on duty as customers started lining up to check out. They eventually did show up and moved us along as well as they could. Service was friendly, security officers at least gave the illusion of a safe store and parking lot. read more

Aldi is a wonderful help to the community However, customer service is lacking like they really really don't care about their job or customers! That's to bad! Everyone doing well or so so or bad likes a deal. But we don't like being ignored or treated like our $$ doesn't matter:( I have paused going:( I can go anywhere thank god to shop! But i choose Aldi here & there read more

I've come here two times before to shop for only the most basic home items. In the past I've purchased toilet paper and paper towels because I noticed that their prices are slightly lower than the big box home goods store. Rarely have I purchased food items from here. I was here today ad I noticed a family-sized frozen pizza on sale for $5.85 so I got that. Peanut butter was also incredibly low at less than $2. The Peligrino water that I like was nowhere in sight. They had generic Italian mineral water which isn't my thing. There is no deli here nor any deli sandwiches. This store is small and I really wish that they would do is less on random junk like children's diaries and more on the things people actually need like food! read more

ALDI - Grocery Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Very close convenient grocery store option for me. I visit almost weekly and more at this location than any other adjacent grocery. The produce is typically very fresh and the offers aisle has decent discounts. Needs more check out people. The lines are always very long whenever I go but they move pretty fast. Would help to have more staff read more

They have no express Lanes or self checkout. It's common to see people with 4 items behind a people with a 100 items. There should be a line to separate the difference at least self checkout. read more

It was astonishingly expensive for Aldi and my papa was criticized by an employee named Sarah who claimed that someone like me and my papa didn't belong in the is country . I was shocked by this comment and think it should be dealt with reasonably. read more

Good quality stuff but staff were rude they didnt let me leave I'm elder and one pushed me I now need knee surgery also vomit next to the cheese aisle Because of the fowl stench of rotten cheese read more

I love Aldi and there prices I used to shop this location frequently bc it's close but I'm so glad it's a new one on h street bc this location is dreadful to go into. The customer service sucks. I think it's management. There is no morale or sign of life just stuff. I have literally seen employees storm out heated. If you want to be racially profiled and just have an overall bad experience shop at this Aldi. I will happily make my way to h street. read more

I love the cheap groceries here and so does everyone else that regularly comes here, but that's a lot of people! So beware of very busy times and running out of goods. Anyone from Germany or the Midwest of the US knows Aldi's great reputation for lower prices than mainstream groceries and how they try to have quality products. My regular purchases here include some produce, meat/chicken, milk, eggs, kombucha, and frozen pizza, yum! The snacks are also great. I particularly like how the ALDI Finds and deals section include seasonal products that change every week. It's what keeps me coming, anticipating a good deal. I've gotten some random items for household goods, pet goods, electronics, small appliances, etc. This location has the newer look that ALDI has been going for but it doesn't always have the products that are listed on the flyer. I find one or two things occasionally not sold at this location. Also, this location always has youngins outside offering to help you with your groceries in hopes of gaining the quarter from your cart, or more. It's never bothered me and I've appreciated the help at times. However, some people are turned off by it. It's a good gig and I've never been disrespected so it's cool with me. read more

Best prices. Great fresh produce. Chaoottic but worth the fast turnaround of food. Delivered to my door save 30% or more on food. Especially produce read more

Came here to pick up some grapes because they were on sale. Plenty of parking, lots of people, small grocery store with pretty good prices.

My wife and I were at the Safeway across the street from Aldi and needed brie cheese and wine (Which the Safeway did not have). We walked to Aldi and were surprised they had both and an array of cheap grocery items. Aldi can get a bad rap, but we will for sure go back for good groceries at an affordable price. Note: They do not take credit card (just debit). The cashier says this may change in 2016, but for not it's policy. read more

Customer service can use some work. But overall it's a nice store. Very organized and CLEAN!!!

I really like using the curbside pickup. The Aldi shopper is very thorough. Items are chosen carefully and thoughtfully. Everyone should use this service. read more

Always a Nice selection of Items I'm never Disappointed Wish they Sold Bags of Ice Love the added Bread section. Grapes ,cheeses, and wine What more could I ask for . read more

ALDI - Grocery Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I don't think I've ever ranked a regular grocery store before but there is a first time for everything! The only reason I heard of this place was because it was the ROTD a few weeks ago. Then I read all the amazing Yelp reviews and I knew I had to try it. Pluses: not super crowded on the Saturday afternoon I went. It was super weird walking in, like "where am I?" because the main products by the front door were super random and mixed in with household products like chairs and what have you. But once I got to the produce I was in my happy place! $2 containers of organic spring mixes! $1 bags of carrots! Moving on to the cold foods, there was $2 containers of OJ! Pretty cheap cuts of meat too. I got a 4 lb pork butt roast for $9. Bottles of prosecco for $9! I guess they used to not take credit cards but now they do! I got enough food for maybe 2 weeks for only $70 (without the 2 bottles of prosecco which were the most expensive items, it would be closer to $50 - you can't beat that!). In case you care (because I did the online research), there were two German brothers who ran a grocery store, and when they quarreled, they split up the stores. So one brother started Aldi Sud (which is Aldi) and the other brother started Aldi Nord (which is Trader Joe's). So it is related to Trader Joe's but cheaper because Aldi doesn't offer bags (bring your own!), makes you pay to have a cart, and stocks less items than Trader Joe's (and other grocery stores). Which leads to my only complaint - there are lots of general items at Aldi but if you want something specific (like I wanted self-rising flour) you will probably be SOL. Luckily there is a Safeway across the street! I heart you Aldi, helping to keep more money in my pocket so I can go out to eat more. read more

I never met an Aldi I didn't like, until this location. I LOVE Aldi. They have decent products. They are adding over 150 items to many locations. They have reworked their branding and expanded the size of stores. My favorite Aldi in the area is Langley Park. It doesn't make sense to pay 60% for the same item, if you can find it at Aldi. There are organic, gluten free and other healthy choice items being added. When I shop at Aldi in the future, I will avoid this place. The location is a bit sketchy in the evening. There were only four employees in the store. One employee was sweeping (wherever I was walking, in every aisle). Each aisle had some shelves that were bare or almost (and the place wasn't emptied out because of panic snow shopping). There were canned and boxed goods on the floor. I realize that employees can't follow every single shopper around (except apparently me.....) while they are getting items so it is possible to have products in the wrong place when shopper is careless or doesn't feel like returning the item to it's proper shelf. Even though Langley Park is busy, I will frequently see staffers returning items and making the place look neat. There store was out of so many items that I didn't get everything I needed in one trip. I overheard a cashier tell a customer that the bathroom was out of order (It is never out of order at Langley Park.....just sayin). I will continue to shop at Aldi, just not this particular store. read more

The store was clean! The produce and meat were fresh! The cashiers were speedy! I almost don't want to leave a good review because I want keep this gem hidden! There waa ample parking and they have WINE! read more

The only thing that would make this place better is if it were right next to a Trader Joe's. I love this place. You literally can get stuff for up to 75% cheaper here than right around the corner at Safeway. Besides boasting really inexpensive organic food items (fresh and non-perishable), snack options minus all the additives and wild caught frozen seafood (like Sea Scallops for 50% less than other stores) and fish they have an awesome selection of higher end food items that would cost you an arm and and a leg literally in the same shopping plaza. Things like Prosciutto, Brie, Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese etc can all be found for less than $5. And their wine starts at $2.99. More than a few of their wines are award winners. One of their $8 bottles of wine was ranked one of the best wine's in the world. BEST WINES IN THE WORLD. 8 bucks. I get a few bottles of wine a month just to have on hand to take to events... I mean, 2.99 is the price of burger. You can't beat that. Oh...and their Olive Oil "Carlini" was rated to be one of the few Olive Oils on the market that is actually Olive Oil. Grab your quarter (for the shopping cart) and your reusable shopping bags and head on over. You will not be disappointed. read more

I love my Aldi. Me and Aldi will never part, LOL! Seriously, I'm a BIG foodie and eat a lot, so I'm always looking for great deals to save on my food budget and stretch my money as far as possible since i'm way to lazy to seriously coupon. I do my weekly shopping at Aldi and my biweekly shopping at other grocery stores. Aldi has a decent wine selection, cheese, and organic products. I usually stick to purchasing produce, frozen fruit, quiona and eggs plus the basic staples such as flour, baking soda, baking powder, etc. I always check their circulars online prior to shopping. It's best to go earlier in the day because they don't replenish throughout the day (at least at the locations I've patronized) so if you go later in the evening all the items have already been picked over. Aldi has a great "double guarantee" policy which means, they guarantee the freshness of your product or they'll replace it for free plus refund your purchase price. Since I've been shopping here for the past 1.5 years, I've only had to return fruit that went bad in a couple of days after purchasing. The customer service at this particular location needs major improvement. Almost every person seems miserable and look like a bird pooped on their brand new shoes. Anyway, for the affordable prices of Aldi, I'm willing to deal with the rude ass workers. They don't take credit, so make sure you have a debit card or cash and bring your own bags! read more

Aldi's introduced a new Gluten Free line, liveGfree. Not only do they offer a wide variety of products, I think their brownies may be the best I've ever tried and doesn't empty my wallet like Whole Foods where the gf lines are significantly more expensive. They also carry an all organic line. I love this Aldi store, I drive across town to go there as it has some of the most friendly staff and patrons I've ever experienced in DC and the store is extremely clean. In addition, I can buy an entire cart of groceries for under $100!! Remember to bring a quarter for a cart (which is returned when you return the cart) and your shopping bags so you don't have to buy bags (even if you forget-their bags are a great quality and can be reused). Aldi takes cash or debit only. read more

ALDI - LiveGfree brand - Grocery Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I am amazed. I've been Aldi two times in my life. The first time, I didn't give it much of a chance because it was a dull looking store and didn't have the glitz as other grocery stores in the area. Plus, we were hassled for a quarter from a stranger out side the store. The second time, we decided to stop by last minute before our way to Costco, and took a thorough look at the goods. We had to pick up the following: -Egg Whites -Soy Milk -Grapefruit -Bags of apples -Organic chicken stock -Roma Tomatoes -Chocolate Although Aldi is not a big store at all, we found all these essential items at Aldi's for CHEAPER prices than Costco! They also have their own line of organic items. After going home to compare my receipts from Costco and Aldi of the same items, I realized I definitely saved more money shopping at Aldi! Each item was at least 10-20 cents cheaper than Costco per unit, and I wasn't forced to buy 10 lbs of tomatoes. I also discovered a new brand of German chili dark chocolate called Moser Roth that was comparable to expensive Italian chocolates we usually get. The produce was pretty fresh and they even have a guarantee (like Costco) if it goes bad before the expiration date. I love the cost-saving methods Aldi adopted (rent your own carts, pack your own groceries, warehouse like shopping area) to be able to deliver food at such bargain prices. I will definitely be back. read more

I would come here pretty regularly but since I made a move that put me out of the way, I haven't really been. I like the new layout and the new look is almost as spiffy at the one out Landover or the one in Oxon Hill. I would much rather come here over the Safeway across the street. That place is atrocious. Not that Aldi has Self-Checkout, but even with a limited amount of registers opened, they still move faster than many traditional grocery stores. If I am stopping by an Aldi I am buying peanut butter, their unsweetened almond milk, navel oranges or squash. I have about 10 things that I buy at Aldi and that works out well for me. Beyond that I am going elsewhere. As people have mentioned, there seems to always be someone in front, out to get your quarter. That either means, "No" practice or you taking your bags in and not using a cart. That is a hassle without being hasseled. 3 Stars in lieu of 3.5. read more

This Aldi location is well stocked but somewhat messy. The items on the shelf need to be more organized. The lines are always long but the staff who work the registers move as fast as they can. Be careful going late at night. There isn't much security. read more

Aldi is a good super market chain. The problem is that not all of its stores are managed in the same way. This location in Northeast Washington, D.C. was filthy. Had the store been located in a more affluent part of town I am certain it would've been a much different situation. Instead, I was disgusted to fine trash was allowed to be strewn on the floor. Floor tiles were heavily scuffed and dirty and cherry pits could be seen tossed aside in the fruit section. Not only was it unpleasant to be in that store it was probably a health violation. Looking back into the storage area I could see more trash on the floor in the employee section that seem to also be in disarray. Please get your act together. The people of northeast DC deserve better. Hold your people accountable and turn this situation around. Thanks read more

This Aldi started awesome but now it's always trashed, the lines to check out are stupid long. I love Aldi but this location is ratchet. The one in capitol heights is so worth the drive if you've got wheels and I never say that about anything. read more

The selection is fine - prices are average. However, I am surprised my husband and I made it out alive. No. Seriously. We didn't pay attention to the hours when we walked in on the 4th of July - but it makes complete sense for them to close at 4 p.m. so employees can enjoy the holiday too. We showed up at about 3:45. At 3:55, we heard the security guard literally yell across the store, "YOU ONLY HAVE FIVE MINUTES AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GET OUT!!!!" We witnessed screaming wars between security and customers for the last 10 minutes we were there. It was pretty intense and honestly, I was scared something was going to happen or someone was going to get hurt. While we were waiting in line with our arms totally full almost ready to be checked out, the cashier said, Oh, sorry. I'm closed now....umm what? We've been waiting here, literally getting kicked out of the store, and you're not going to check us out? So we were forced to grab all the items back off the belt and stand in another extremely long line. This was probably the worst and scariest shopping experience I've ever had. Extremely unprofessional. read more

You will be followed all the way to your car for that quarter. Not a safe location. Car break ins have happened right in front of the store! Produce is sometimes fresh. Skip if you can! read more

This Aldi has good finds but the "special police" lady there on weekdays is useless. There was a drunk lady acting belligerent that has befriended the special police and cashiers so that no one can stop her behavior there. She visits the aldi regularly and berates customers while screaming at them and talking to her multiple personalities. The special police and cashiers just laugh at her and don't stop her violent tantrum. They egg her on while she checks out with 4 wine bottles. Thank goodness she didn't own a car. I felt the need to make sure she didn't drive around while kids were present at noon. Go with pepper spray next time and consider it your own fight club. I will no longer go here. read more

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Aldi!!! I shop here every week, mostly for produce as they sell the same brands that are sold at supermarkets like Giant, Harris Teeter for half the price. They have an Artisinal Salad mix of assorted types of lettuce heads that lasts a week at least, and is the same thing that Teeter sells for two bucks more. They have the same brands of blackberries, blueberries, tomatoes, bananas, that sell at those grocery stores, but for half the price. I get large tubs of 0% Fage yogurt for three bucks and change. BeGioso marscapone this week for $1.50. Almond milk and most cheeses are good quality and include some brand name cheeses like Kerrygold, all less than at a regular grocery store. Hearty 12 grain bread tastes delish! All your basic staples like flour, sugar, are cheaper here. Yes, you have to pay attention to what you buy as some items are not ideal, and include more processed ingredients. However, what is ironic to me is that Aldi sells a lot of the same stuff as Trader Joes - which people obsess over, but Trader Joes also sells crap you have to pick through (ever read the ingredients and fat/salt levels in Trader Joes' frozen foods? Most are horrible for you, especially when you factor in that they list a tiny, unrealistic serving size!). Somehow Aldi gets a worse rating even though in many ways, it's the same thing. I generally don't purchase meat at Aldi, but I also don't buy it at Trader Joes. If you're a smart shopper, however, you really can clean up with great stuff at Aldi! read more

My family has always shopped at Aldi, but it wasn't until I moved on my own that I appreciated it so much more. This location seems to be newly renovated and always have workers insight. For the most part, it is clean, but it is always crowded! I usually don't mind the crowd, because I get so much of my grocery list from here each time I shop. As far as prices, some things are extremely cheap... others can be found cheaper at the Safeway across the street. Fruit for example, if in stock, is usually around the same price as any other market. A lot of the time, the produce is not in the best shape, but its really hit or miss. Mid-week is when I get the best produce. For the most part, when shopping here, I usually still have to go to another market, so that's why I only gave it 4 stars. Luckily, I rarely leave empty-handed. The best deals usually are in dairy, organic produce, toiletries and WINE. Yes they have wine for under $3. I also tend to get a half dozen of roses for as cheap as $1.99. Overall, if you come, be sure to have a quarter for a cart, reusable bags (they don't usually have boxes like other locations), and a bit of extra time to wait in line... luckily the cashiers scan FAST! read more

I was 100% skeptical of Aldi, but 100% impressed. The prices are unbelievable and the quality is excellent. I would challenge you to put almost any of their products against those at the big grocery chains, and dare you to find the difference. I am hugely impressed! The only real con is that selection is not massive, but there are all of the staples and favorites, along with many German specialties. Make sure you bring a quarter for the refundable cart deposit! Also, cash or debit cards only. read more

Love this store -- the services are great and the produce is always busier fresh. What makes this location the best ?! It has beer and wine- woot read more

I almost don't want to write this review, because I want to keep Aldi my little secret. But alas, a good review is good for business, which is good for my neighborhood. Aldi is a great alternative to the semi-Soviet Safeway at the Hechinger Mall. The selection is surprisingly good, and I was actually able to find a lot of not-so-processed foods. (Read the labels, people!) The prices are so, so low, and the selection (as mentioned above) is fab. They also have a great variety of fresh produce, though who knows where that came from. I will absolutely be back. it's not the kind of place you'd go to make something special, but for essentials and easy food options, Aldi is the place to be. For comparison, I went to a local organic market in Upper NW and spent $44 on dishwasher tabs, dog treats, 4 peaches, 1 bunch of asparagus, a 6 pack of DC Brau, and 1 ginger beer. $44 dollars for essentially 6 items. At Aldi, we bought food for a club BBQ AND to feed us for the week, (basically an entire cart's full) and spent less than $90. This would have been closer to $200 at the Safeway across the street. Remember to bring your own bags, and a quarter for the shopping carts! read more

Aldi is a supermarket gem, for those who can forgo their allegiances to brand names & don't mind paying with cash/debit instead of credit. Aldi mostly carries brands of their own line, but occasionally has items from mainstream brands. For most things, the Aldi brand is just as good as what I would get at a traditional supermarket and for much cheaper. There are a few Items I've learned not to buy, though! - Hummus: weird consistency, and doesn't even begin to compare to a TJ's hummus - Pesto: just blegh! Not a fan and would rather make my own - Pizza dough: I was excited to see fresh dough make an appearance, but it was a little bland and didn't have much rise. This location is a little out of my way, but the prices are unbeatable and you can find some great produce steals if you're shopping their produce picks of the week + willing to be flexible with your veggie purchases. Some of the produce specials fly off the shelves, so check up the sales before you head in and try to head to Aldi before the masses! The other downside is that their produce items mostly come in bulk -- you can't buy 1 onion, 1 zucchini, 1 apple, etc. Staff at this location are friendly at the checkout counter and the location is clean. Don't forget a quarter for the shopping cart (they don't have baskets!)!! But if you do forget, the staff have all been super nice to me and let me cut the line to give me change for a dollar. read more

So pleased to discover an Aldi's in Washington DC not too far from where I live. I did have some trouble finding it -- finally figured it was in back of the old Hechinger Mall where Florida Ave, Bladensburg Rd and H street sort of merge. Lots of parking and the usual LOTS OF GREAT PRICES for everyday foods. I recommend being alert in the parking lot though as there were some sketchy people about.... read more

First visit to this Aldi this morning, and I liked it a lot! 99c/lb chicken legs? Beats any other grocery store in the area. Very good cheese selection, nothing fancy but all the staples in block, slice and shredded form, with again excellent prices, especially for the shredded cheddar, it's cheaper here than when it goes on sale at other places. I was especially glad to find a whole grain loaf of bread for only $1.79, tried it and liked it! Aldi brand. The prices for canned beans can't be beat, though I prefer to use the sodium free variety but they only have full sodium. But for 59c, I'll deal with the salt. It would've been five starts but they didn't have lemons or avocados. An employee said "the truck didn't come in this morning" - apparently the truck does make a delivery on Sunday mornings but for unknown reasons didn't show up this morning. I needed lemons for dinner tonight so I ended up going to another grocery store. read more

Great grocery store if you aren't concerned with brand names. Their store brand products are a great quality. Your first time in the store it does take some getting used to. You need to make sure you have a quarter to get a shopping cart. You should bring your own bags with you to avoid buying bags from the store. Their meat products are high quality for the price. read more

Management is not good. Popular since it came to this location, but always understaffed and you can't rely on products you may fall in love with. They may have it one week but not in the next two weeks. The lines sometimes can be crazy. If they opened and closed when Safeway did and was properly staffed they could really compete with Safeway, but they open too late and close to early. Love their products , even the little gadgets they get every week. read more
