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.

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.

Besides that, here's the low-down on super low prices compared to Gee-Ant, Whole Paycheck and TradenJerk: * Eggs (not cage-free, but cheep cheep cheep) * Tortillas * Meat - they butcher their meats onsite and their volume sales ensure meat is always fresh * Spices (bags) * Cilantro and culantro, and some fresh veggies Prices for "regular" grocery foods and products are usually a bit more than the big stores up the street. For some reason cheese and dairy is much higher than the big G. If you're a price shopper, you know how to make the different stores work for your budget.

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!

There's about 6 to 8 parking spots along the building, fairly easy to access if turning off of Blair or 4th. The store front & building paint are in good repair. The lady I met & her staff (super helpful & friendly) were busy stocking, organizing, & also putting up this excellent display in the liquor area for the holidays. They have a massive wine & beer selection as well (not pictured). She said she has been in charge for about one year now & her focus has been on making the store clean, well-organized, and with a great variety of selection. I frequent liquor stores for wines, whiskies, & IPAs so I've seen the gamut of what's on offer in the DMV area & I can say S&S is the best organized & stocked that I've seen. On this visit, I was able to pick up two Irish whiskies I've not seen anywhere else, one being for my friend who I think will be pleased. I'll be back over to S&S!
