This place is awesome. I recommend it. Convenient, sandwiches are good, cool selection of gourmet products. Very nice and friendly management read more

I always have to pinch myself when I voyage to this neck of the woods and find that the adorable residential market is still in operation. Somehow, this tiny shop gets the best fresh muffins and bagels in the DC area, and has a fantastic selection of cheeses, produce, and goods both upscale and ordinary. There are always parents and kids enjoying pizza outside, and there's a homespun family feeling even as you purchase a gourmet chocolate bar. I love this place. read more

I peacefully walked around the store when the owner approached me and asked if I was stealing. I've been shopping at Broad Branch since I was attending Lafayette and have never met nor seen the owner. I've heard stories from my other black associates about their experience at broad branch where they were treated with racism from specifically the owner. I've honestly heard many stories about her being very problematic herself but have refused to believe these stories until I witnessed it myself. As the store being across from a school with children of color, I'm extremely disappointed to know this is how my people are being treated. Long story short, If your child is of color, don't send them to Broad Branch Market. read more

Great neighborhood market!! I got some catering from here and they did a great job. Highly recommend . read more

First opened as a market in 1919, Broad Brand Market remains a local institution. More than a general store, it's a community gathering spot. Open every day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., the little market has a lot from a deli section, a bakery that sells pastries and ice cream, and aisles full of wine from around the world, a spice section, and any basic household good you need. There are public restrooms by a shelf of free books. There's outdoor seating where neighbors gather, enjoying the store's ice cream. read more

Nice neighborhood place, lots of variety, weird set up like from an old house, services is nice. Food is good. Definitely recommend.

The staff is atrocious! They don't great anyone when they come in. It's practically impossible to order a sandwich and the store layout is terrible. Hire me... I can double your profits in six months. read more

This is a great Chevy Chase, DC neighborhood store. It is smack dab in the middle of a very tight-knit community - kitty corner from Lafayette Elementary School. It offers a select variety of high end cheeses and other accompaniments like olives, bake goods and fancy fig jams as well as a small grocery section selling staples in a back room, ice cream in another room and a take-out deli in the main room. Their tomato soup is excellent. My friend bought their macaroni and cheese which was not neon orange like you may be used to. They also sell a bottled juice called Tizane. It is made by a local neighborhood Chevy Chase couple and it is 100% Organic. I liked the jasmine flavor. They have lemongrass and hibiscus flavors too. Chevy Chase is so lucky to have this neighborhood store. Yes, prices are high, but if you live in Chevy Chase, DC then the prices shouldn't phase you one bit. read more

I LOVE that there are still markets like this - and neighbors who support them. I could eat lunch here every day. Delicious, creative, made to order sandwiches; if there's a wait it's worth it and gives you time to browse through the novel and wide-ranging products on the shelves. But don't overlook the prepared salads, sides and entrees in the deli case - some very agreeable dishes here as well. The staff and customers are friendly and neighborly, just such a pleasant break from the brisk and impersonal supermarket experience. Go there often. read more

I live several blocks away from broad branch and go there fairly regularly to pick up dinner, lunch, or a cup of coffee. On the plus side, this is a local market with a surprisingly diverse and delicious range of food stuffs, good wine, and household items. If you're in a pinch for that milk or egg for your morning breakfast, they will generally have it. It is not the most affordable option around but it is convenient and tasty. Service can be a mixed bag and for that reason, along with the slightly inflated prices, it receives four stars instead of five. Overall, everyone I know in this neighborhood is greatly appreciated of of the fact it is not the most affordable option around but it is convenient and tasty. Service can be a mixed bag and for that reason, along with the slightly inflated prices, it receives four stars instead of five. read more

So, the first time I went to the market was a week ago. I ordered two sandwiches. The lady at the register was amazing.. My second time, two days ago was an awful experience. I ordered the same two sandwiches. However, when I returned to the car it wasn't the sandwiches I ordered. I immediately took my order back inside and let the RUDE guy at the register know. You would have thought I was committing a crime the way he was carrying on. I handed him the sandwiches and let him know these aren't what I ordered. He was rude, disrespectful and treated me like I was trying to get somethong over on him After, literally arguing with this disrespectful guy for over 5 minutes, I politely stated, just remake the sand. He told me to please be quiet so he could speak. At that point I said, just remake the sandwiches and do not speak to me that way. The guall!! I WILL NEVER RETURN. I'm not only writing review in YELP but any other website I can find. read more

Neighborhood Market - Yes! Such a great Market in Chevy Chase right close to La Fayette Elementary School. I always come here if I want a quick snack after work. And sometimes I come here for lunch. They have the best fried chicken ever. And lots of different kind of sandwiches. This place is Awesome! It's a kid friendly place as well. read more

Their prepared foods are great but the service is atrocious. I have never been in this place when they are properly staffed behind the deli. I have been a repeat customer because they make good sandwiches, but the wait and the attitude of most of the workers I've encountered there are just not worth the hassle anymore. I've given up on this place and will not be back. read more

I want to love this place. Especially since I'm a frequent shopper, however the customer service is subpar at best. Let me be very specific, if you are African American, spend your money somewhere else. I'm only greeted by the Ethiopian manager. Everyone else completely ignores you. It's disheartening to watch people treat with kind words and respect but I myself am treated like a second class citizen. read more

Cute neighborhood market, with a surprisingly large variety of food. Very yummy warm sandwiches and perfect brownie.

We live in the neighborhood and have come here from time to time to buy food items. On 8/16/2022 my husband, newborn and I decided to drop by since it had been a while. A blonde lady who works there (or maybe the owner) followed us around the store as if we were going to steal something. Now to be fair to the blonde lady, we don't look like your typical white pale male and white pale female clients that she may be used to. We are, what one calls today, diversity. I suppose a lesson in diversity would be good for BBM blonde lady. We bought an ice cream cone and ate it outside. read more

Horrible experience. Ordered a large serving of bacon a week before an event. When I went to pick it up they had let another customer walk off with the order. When I spoke with the manager, Tracy,m she cused me out. Beware of this place! read more

The service is horrible I asked the lady to give me a bag she completely ignored me and continued with the other customer offering them a bag. So I asked again may I have a bag, and she hastily gave me the bag and made a face and everything very rude. I felt offended. NEVER coming back! All the workers are Spanish and when I called prior to coming in the lady did not understand anything I was saying. Better customer service. read more

Great bread. I often pick up dinner here, although it's pricey (but less expensive than going out.) Carne asada is very good and so is the catfish (among many others). They also have a good selection of beer and wine. One of my cousins, who lives in Paris and is French, loved the place when she was staying with us. read more

The place has a wide selection of quality offerings, from food, snacks perishables to slushees for the kids and 94 point Cabernets for the adults and a top notch deli operation. One of the best neighborhood corner markets I've ever seen in all the places I've lived. read more

Great sandwiches for lunch. Always well thought out specials and great bread. Every yuppified, whole Food shopping, LuLuLemon wearing, afluenza suffering crunchy, NPR listening granola head wishes they lived a few blocks from a BBM type place--even if it was only to complain about their patrons Tesla blocking their driveway. There is no denying that BBM has great food. You are going to pay for it, but it will seldom disappoint. If I lived nearby, it would be tempting to serve something from their prepared foods a few times a week. Everything in there looks and smells great. The staff is friendly and although I have never asked, I bet they would do or make anything you needed. The place has that kind of vibe. Their bread is amazingly good. If your inclined to have fresh bread with every meal, a stop at BBM would be well worth your time. read more

This is the heart and soul of the neighborhood! The Broad Branch Market has been a neighborhood fixture for eons, and now with the newly renovated building and new owners, they have keyed into the upscale urban customer that lives in this neighborhood with all the right ingredients. Kids, they love kids, it is across from a school and they cater to families with young kids. Dad's, they love Dad's, they have a nice selection of wine and beer, and pre-made food that makes any Dad into a SuperPop! Dogs, they love dogs, water bowls and treats and a place to tie the pup up outside while you shop. Mom's they must love mom's because they make so many pre-made items, mom can take them home, pop them in the oven, and it looks like she is a gourmet chef who lives to make good food. Items that I like the best are the fresh made baguettes, wonderful cheese's and the Cafe Xinca coffee. always worth a stop there for those items. They make sandwiches there too, so if you are on the run, stop in and have them make you one! And then just sit out on one of the picnic bench's out front and relax and watch the neighborhood bound by. Prices are not cheap, but you get your money's worth in quality here. Check in on the social media sites like Foursquare, Yelp and Shopkick, they are hip and up on those and often have special discounts, deals or specials listed there! Saturday morning the Lafayette Farmer's Market is on across the street, a perfect compliment to this market. read more

Broad Branch Market really has everything you'd want in a neighborhood market. And, if you don't have the kind of money to do your regular produce shopping here (as a recent grad, I certainly don't), you should definitely make it over for lunch. Best prepared food I've had there is the turkey sandwich with prosciutto, gouda, arugula (once this was substituted with broccoli rabe, just as tasty if not more), and some kind of rich orange marmalade (?) on fresh ciabatta. Easily one of my favorite sandwiches in DC-- it's tough to make a turkey sandwich dynamically flavorful, but BBM does it. Their banh mi sandwich was good too, but didn't wow me like the turkey sammie. Worth a try if you like banh mis, but IMHO, it tasted like a deli trying its hand at banh mi instead of just delicious banh mi (see El Floridano's for comparison). They also have a ruben and an "Industrial" italian hoagie and will make sandwiches to order. Other awesomeness: chicken tenders (moist, chunky white meat w/ seasoned breading); the extensive candy and ice cream selection that has its own room; wine and beer; really nice and friendly folks. I've also tried the mac n' cheese ($6.79/lb) and greek salad ($6.99/lb): fine but not memorable enough to pay the price again (both a bit bland). The sandwiches, however, are reasonably priced at around $8-9 and an exceptional value considering the quality of ingredients they use. One thing I'd really love to see are more sandwich creations on the menu-- it seems limited to 4 and doesn't fluctuate much (or at all?). It's nice that we can create our own, but given the success of the ingredient combo on the turkey sandwich, I'd love to see what else the BBM folks can come up with. read more

Don't know what's happening to BBM but since Covid there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of the prepared foods. Fried chicken is dry as sand paper. Before COVID, I sent several emails over the past 3 years about staff not wearing gloves when serving prepared food and NEVER received a response. As a neighborhood resident, I want to support local businesses but BBM needs to do better. read more

Excellent pepared-meal selection. Was a great resource while working at the elementary school last week. The staff is sweet and the outdoor seating is perfect. Highly recommended with the caveat that it is slightly overpriced. read more

Frequent this place because it's next to my kids school - nice selection of wine in the back. Some of the consumables are expensive (baby food pouches cost twice what they would cost at a grocery store) but you are paying for convenience I guess. A quick place to grab a bagel and coffee in the morning, and there are some seats outside. read more

Came in for a quick snack on my way home from school. The chocolate croissant, albeit on the higher end of the price spectrum, was worth every penny. I didn't stay for long (in and out in less than five minutes) but the market looks lovely. It complements the neighbourhood perfectly and is conveniently located. And as a bonus, they accept Apple Pay! Not needing my debit card is very nice. 10/10 would visit again. read more

Amazing store, with excellent fresh baguettes. Prepared foods and sandwiches are great too.

Everything is good but be sure to try the Coexist Coffee and the Coexist Cold Brew - not to be missed!! read more

Great sandwiches. I had the Italian hoagie. I didn't try much else, but overall the place seemed like a nice, clean local market. Didn't have the dusty shelves like the old bodegas I grew up going to. read more

Broad Branch Market has everything an amazing neighborhood marker should have--Great coffee, pastries, a huge selection of home-cooked prepared foods, yummy deli sandwiches, awesome french baguettes, milk, beer, an ice cream counter, cute picnic tables outside... I could go on and on. It truly is a community gem and we are so lucky to have it! Highly recommend BBM to anyone nearby or far away. It's an awesome destination for food or hanging out. read more

While searching Yelp for a great pastrami sandwich, Broad Branch Market rolled across my screen -- I recalled being there, years ago, and being intrigued at finding an old-fashioned grocery in the middle of Chevy Chase. Today, in a driving rain, I popped in for a sandwich and popped out an hour later with the sandwich, some luscious steaks, hefty pork chops, baked salmon, doughnuts, horseradish cheddar spread, lemons, and chocolate croissants. The market was clean, the staff friendly and efficient, and this customer was delighted to say so to Tracy, the owner, who was at the register. Eureka!! read more

Besides being a staple in our family's household I personally used Broad Branch Market to cater a party for me. The food was over the top. Every guest went out of their way to comment on the food, which was finger licking good. Thanks John and Tracy. You guys rule! BTW, when Jodi pickes dinner up on the way home from you guys we all know dinner is going to be awesome and it always is. read more

I used them to cater a surprise birthday party recently and found their recommendations on quantities to be spot on. The food (including dinner for 40) was fantastic.....poached salmon with dill sauce and beef fillet with chimichurri sauce. Fantastic. As if that wasn't enough, the servers they arranged were super attentive and stayed late into the night to do clean up. Their prices are high but not out of line with the competition serving this community. I will definitely use them again read more

Disappointing. Called last week to place a catering order was told they were too busy and to call back. Went into the store to discuss the order and again they were too busy. I was then told it was not a big deal because of the small party size and that it would be no problem, "call next week to place the order". Called early in the next week as directed and was told that the orders through the weekend were full and they could not place any orders. When I questioned them and shared that I was doing exactly what I was instructed to do by them they didn't budge. Wouldn't take an order. Now I have my child's first birthday party and no catering option less than a week out. Thanks a lot, Broad Branch. read more

Broad Branch Market is a neighborhood gem. I do not live in this area, but I work a few blocks over on Connecticut Avenue and I make it a point to walk over once in awhile and grab a bite to eat for lunch. There is a variety of items to choose and the employees are a delight. read more

So as I was strrrrraavvvvvviinnnngg and needed some food in me, I used the monocle on yelp and up popped this store! As I read some fellow yelpers and went in for the sandwich special! So when I saw Reuben on the menu I had to get it! The sandwich itself is pretty blah. The meat was decent, the bread was toasted and sauerkraut not as tangy as I would like, I am also pretty sure they used store brought thousand island dressing. In my opinion I probably should of ate the sandwich right away when they gave it to me hot...oh well lesson learned read more

way overpriced (although not for this neighborhood) and they never answer their damn phones, but otherwise this is a great place. their mac and cheese is super yummy, their sourdough boules are amazing, and the location is just excellent. They've really hit upon the perfect business model. read more

Broad Branch Market is a cool place that is conveniently located just a block away from Lafayette Elementary. It looks like a normal house, but then you go inside and it's not actually a house. They have like food and drinks and bagels and stuff there. They also have very high quality Wonder Woman pez dispensers and midget size wax paper. My only complaint is that they did not have any nerd ropes last time I went. They have good customer service as well. read more

I have lived a few blocks from this market my entire life. When I was growing the Chin family owned and ran the market. When the Chin's closed the market the building sat empty for years. When the new and improved Broad Branch Market opened its doors the neighborhood took on a fantastic vibe. Friendships were made and the community grew stronger. Amazing. Lets not forget the actual market. The prepared foods and basic stock foods are wonderful. Pricey? YES. What do you expect? Its Chevy Chase DC. read more
