I simply love this medicine cabinet. Yes medicine cabinet, not a store. From AYO, the educated…read moreherbalist, to Greg the assistant, this store holds no boundaries. The knowledge of herbs for whatever illness or disease you have there is something here for everyone. I came prepared with knowing what I needed for my ailments but if you don't and you simply know what's wrong Ayo can assist you on your journey to healing. I purchased St. John's Wort, Beet Powder (high blood pressure), Black Cohosh, Sage, Lavendar oil (the good stuff) and so much more... I first came upon Blue Nile years ago and the owner saved my life. Here some 20 years later I brought my daughter today. Introducing her to holistic healing is a joy. If you are searching for truth in medicine for yourself or loved ones... Blue Nile is a gem. Stop and go now

The moss Mac and cheese feels more like an Asian take on pasta, with a texture similar to a Filipino pancit. Still, it was tasty and I'd order it again.

This is a first! I was so engaged that I forgot to take pictures! Yvette greeted me with amazing…read morewarmth. She knew all about the conditions that I was concerned with and was able to offer several alternatives using natural herbs and supplements, to attain my goals. I sampled the sea moss gel, which was actually good tasting because they add real fruit. I invested in some essential oils, body, butters, and hair preparations made from top grade natural ingredients. Each product smells delicious! I am looking forward to excellent results. As Yvette said, it never hurts to reduce the toxic load of body products that comes from putting synthetics on our skin instead of natural, edible products. We parted with hugs and smiles. After all, our skin eats (absorbs)! I will visit again and I highly recommend, especially due to the warm, welcoming ambience that this shop has created. By the way, they are so honest that if they don't carry a particular supplement, they will send you to someone who does carry it. Awesome!

I really never know what to expect in regards to shops that stock products like the ones provided…read moreby this business, but a friend's reference and some internet-research dabbling gave me the impression (and a prayer to God for that impression to actually prove accurate) that this store is very professional and clean, with staff that takes pride in the knowledge, quality, and selection of their merchandise, versus some of the more across-the-tracks "headshops" with poor lighting, a noxious stench that attacks you as soon as you come within twenty yards of it, Pink Floyd over the speakers, and usually inevitably, at least two white dudes with dreadlocks who couldn't even begin to answer any of your questions helpfully, regardless of how hard you may try. I'll cut to the chase (finally), stop smack-talking headshops (though I generally condemn the existence of any that all-too-often adhere to that basic formula listed above, as I believe that those stores which are able to sell "legal highs" but are unable to give any helpful information about their "proprietary" ingredients or warnings or, really, anything helpful that may serve as a means of reducing potential harm) and save you the (likely-long-extinguished) suspense: this shop was a fantastic departure from that headshop bogeyman that inexplicably rests at the forefront of my mind most of the time. The store is tiny but beautifully laid-out, light and airy, and very well-stocked. The employees whom I spoke to, and who were also helping other customers, were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. While obviously you can't be absolutely certain about the contents of any of their products (as they are not FDA-approved, and the store is not a DC-regulated dispensary), I recognized many of the brands sold and feel quite confident that what you see is what you get. It's very obvious by the information volunteered by the employees (including some very beautiful brochures and pamphlets about their shop and their products -- I uploaded a crappy iPhone photo of the front and back of an introductory brochure to CBD that serves as an excellent 101 for any "beginner") and the upkeep of their shop that they take pride in the range, efficacy, utility, and quality of the products that they sell, and with each customer who doesn't quite know yet where to start in the potentially huge -- and therefore often excessively confusing or contradictory -- world that can comprise CBD or kratom or other herbal modalities, it truly seems that the folks working here make a true effort to match customers with the type of item that would best suit their needs. I definitely give five stars and doff my cap to this store -- after failing to renew my medical marijuana card this past year and having lacked the money and time to rectify that, this type of store is an excellent alternative or complement to the regulated DC medical dispensaries. Obviously they legally cannot sell anything containing THC, but that's no problem with me, and it's always good to see a store that theoretically COULD source more "stoner"-centric products and try to get away with it (we've all seen those weird pop-ups in DC from time to time), they make it very clear that they intend to follow the law to the letter. I hope that this shop sticks around for a long time, because it's very impressive -- aesthetically, economically, and by the helpfulness and non-judginess of their staff -- and I always want to support local businesses like that. (To be fair, I believe that they do have another shop in Illinois or something, but even so, it's still a small, independent company that seems to main high standards and ethics in an industry where they could easily get away with selling bunk garbage, with many customers none the wiser. I admire their integrity.)

Honestly, the reason I think this store is great is that it allows greater access to organic foods and foods for alternative eating lifestyles in a community that may not have the same access as others. It's perfect for my sister and I, who are vegetarians, and it's within walking distance of the main strip of Anacostia. Change has to start somewhere and this store is just the beginning. So stop in and help this business grow so it can continue to change the community from within. Check out the other stores and spaces while you're there & don't forget your reusable bag.

Don't go here if you are a huge meat eater. Do stop in for a great selection of teas, produce (though $$$!), odds and ends, and beverages of all kinds. MOM's is known to be the only local shop I can count on to carry Southern Tier Pumking in the fall, for example. MOM's also has a great selection of kombucha and other fermented and interesting n/a drinks! You can park in the parking garage on level three; just be sure to validate your ticket inside. It didn't used to be required and now it is. The cashier's at MOM's are always friendly and efficient, though they tend to only have one lane open at a time. Best part of all for parents of littles -- aisles are BIG and it's a wonderful place to take a toddler or two if they just need to get out of the house and you want to have a nice little shopping experience. I have so many memories that involve MOM's as a destination so that I can buy fancy gnocchi with the true reason being that my kids have stuff to look at, the other customers are sparse, and there is room for littles to roam, or for the cart to spin around to keep them occupied. If you know you know.

It's a great spot if you just need to grab a few items, but I wouldn't rely on it for a full grocery run.

There are two options--underground and terrace but both have limited spaces. If you do park there, be aware that validation for the free 90 minutes requires an extra step: you'll receive a separate validation receipt in addition to your regular one after checkout, and you'll need to scan that barcode after scanning your parking ticket.
