This is a great little grocery store specializing in mainly SE Asian groceries and I enjoy coming…read morehere when in town. Owner is a nice guy and always very helpful and chatty with his customers. Today I came in and saw fresh mango with chili available, so I picked up some. There was also papaya salad in the fridge, so I grabbed one of those too! The sliced mango with chili was $5.50 and the papaya salad was $7.95 and both were excellent! I also picked up some incense sticks, vermicelli, some Asian drinks including pennywort and Mr Brown coffee, preserved plums, and soy sauce. I was disappointed that no buffet style food was available and I guess they may not serve it on Sundays but hoping to try some next time I am back. I love this place as they have so many ready items and most have been very good! Give this place a try, you might just like it as much as I do!

I was looking for African food markets and saw this place in my search. The woman working there was…read moreextremely helpful and even gave me a recommendation for an African market closer to me. They had everything I was looking for with reasonable prices. The only thing they didn't have was Cameroon pepper but of all the tropical markets I've visited so far, this one is definitely at the top of my list.

They have all the essential west African ingredients. The ladies are very nice and everything you…read moreneed they will make sure u have them. The gps takes you on the other side of the store so take the next entrance. Its not a big place but they have all the basics including meats. Its my go to place for things. Parking available in front of the store for free and paid parking on the street.

Another good bakery in Wheaton, MD. Price is very reasonable. Anyway, the taste and quality aren't…read morequite consistent, sometimes. There is a lot of Spanish pastries styles. (I never try yet.) Their cake option doesn't has many kind but for me it's enough choices and most of them looks cute. p.s. Anyway I like Caramelo Bakery that they are closed quite late for bakery shop schedule and also beautiful graffiti art wall outside the building.

AUTHENTIC BRAZILIAN FIND: This is the best place around to get authentic Brazilian food and…read moregroceries. They stock a wide range of items you simply won't find in other grocery stores in the DC area, which makes it a go to if you're looking for specialty ingredients. The prepared food is excellent and tastes truly authentic. It's clear they take pride in doing things the right way. From what I've seen and heard, it's highly regarded by the many Brazilians in the local community, which says a lot. If you want the real flavors of Brazil, you've found it! Or actually, I found it for you :)

This market is the quintessential corner type market. It has a nice assortment of items, as well as a space to actually order and purchase food items. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Why is this still called Lotte? It says it's an Asian Grocery Store but the only Asian products is…read morelike 2 aisles... meat doesn't smell fresh FYI. Aside from that I guess it's a decent grocery store.... But come on... just drop the Lotte brand and call it something else... cause my dumbass was super confused for a moment and my GPS keeps directing me here instead of the real Lotte that is like 3 miles away.

We stopped by here after having lunch at the Brazilian bakery nearby. I wanted to check out their…read moreproduce and my friend wanted to find something more specific. Most items I looked at were more expensive than somewhere like Aldi or H Mart. They had a decent price for mixed mini tomatoes. It seems like there's a lot of Hispanic foods so it's not completely an Asian market. I did buy a Mexican Coke for $2.29, which is cheaper than I would pay at a restaurant. The interior was clean. The produce looked great. The cashier was friendly. It's worth a visit if you are seeking out specialty Asian or Hispanic foods you can't find at a chain grocery store.

The first time we went into Talia's Market we were actually looking for Talia's Cuzina. We were…read morepleasantly surprised to find a nice little market with some specialty foods and a case with some prepared hummus and tzatziki. Rich was happy to find Zeke's coffee, a Baltimore brand not readily available locally. They had only opened a few months before and said they were expecting a lot more items coming soon. Sure enough the second time we went there were a lot more items and they were expecting a big shipment that week. We picked up Rich's coffee and got some beans in tomato sauce, vegan cheese (for a lunch guest) and ice cream, among other things. A pleasant place to stop in and pick up some products and then got to the Cuzina for some carry-out. The staff is very nice and helpful, another nice addition to the Kensington area.
