The owners were super nice, and they have a great wine selection! I'll definitely be back for the coffee and to try more of their many sandwich options read more

Fabulous Market - Croissant Sandwich, Bagel Sandwich, Iced Mocha, Iced Vanilla Latte - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Their coffee and coffee drinks are superb, try the lattes! We got them hot one day and iced the next and both were perfect (no burnt coffee taste here). A neighborhood elder stopped to tell us that she doesn't get her coffee anywhere else, because theirs is the best. They also have breakfast and lunch sandwiches which were delicious. We got a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and a chicken avocado sandwich. Excellent! They also have a little market with bakery items, small cereal, treats and a wide variety of drinks. They even have a quite extensive selection of wines. All in all, a neighborhood gem with the friendliest staff you've ever met. Ideal for a quick stop before you go into the city. read more

This is a fabulous find! We went here 3 days in a row for breakfast. Each day we tried something new. It was amazing and the people are so kind. Wish we lived closer! read more

I was passing by the fabulous market today and decided to go in and see what they had to sell. I stopped at the bakery display. I chose what I thought to be was a chocolate muffin. And then I turned to the cashier or barista and asked about their smoothies they had on the menu. Now the sign never said fruit smoothies so I guess it's technically not false advertising because there was not one fruit in this smoothie. She told me the flavors they had. Up until she started making it. I assumed they had frozen fruit at least. I chose a mango and peach smoothie because well that's how she said it. She then proceeded to pull out two jugs from a refrigerator. One with peach syrup and the other mango syrup. She then put some ice in a blender for the syrup in the blender and then proceeded to blend it up. Then put it in a cup and handed it to me. While the flavor of the smoothie was good it just seemed to be missing something. It just seemed a little artificial. And the muffin, tasted like it was two days old. No real flavor. The market also offers a coffee selection as well as wine and premade sandwich sandwiches. I guess fabulous is a loose term that could be used many different ways. read more

This place is actually fabulous, as the name suggest. Walking by it, you can't get a feel for all the great food and goodies that are inside so please don't overlook this smaller establishment. I had a bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was huge, warm, flaky, buttery and delicious. Bacon was crispy and cheese was melted nicely. Def large enough for two people to share or one really hungry person. When I checked in I got a Yelp perk for a free soup. She didn't have soup and let me choose a free danish instead. I choose the Apple danish. IT WAS AWESOME! Equally as huge as the croissant. The lady/owner is so incredibly sweet. There was a bit of a language barrier but her customer service was polite and patient. The strawberry banana smoothie was about the size of a medium. Overall, The price was not even $10 for the sandwich and drink. This was the perfect spot for a late breakfast. I was so mad that I initially overlooked it and went to a more expensive, less flavorful restaurant for coffee. She has coffee, and wine. Great place! I guess this was my first bodega experience and I loved it! Definitely heard of how great they were and because of HERS, I'm looking forward to my next bodega experience in other cities. read more

We went here for breakfast when we had limited time. The iced lattes were good, and the bagel sandwiches were great. There are a lot of snacks and grab and go meals available. They had some good looking biscotti and muffins. read more

Stopped by to grab some coffee. The options were plentiful with a solid selection, service was extremely friendly and quick, and the coffee was decent. Interior was clean and well organized with a great selection of goods. read more

they need to update their hours online bc they're always closed early whenever i try to go

A great meal and amazing service from an phenomenal staff , would eat again and whole heartedly endless

Love this place! Super convenient and good variety of snacks and basic groceries. Delicious coffee and the service is always great.

super cute inside with a lot of options for food and drink! Snacks are a little overpriced but the drinks are fair!

We got the coconut cake, some pre-made sandwiches, and oatmeal raisin cookies. All I can say is the food been sitting for a while. Like at least a week. Dry, nasty. No soup left to try. Just awful. Don't go there, not worth the price for such old stock. What a disappointment. Seriously, we tried. read more

Fabulous Market - Oatmeal raisin. Or is it old, dried out cookies that have been sitting waaaay too long? - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I ordered a sandwich off their deli menu and asked if they were still making sandwiches. They said yes, I paid $8 for the sandwich and went to wait. After 30 seconds, the person handed me a pre made, pre wrapped sandwich with no label or indicator of when it had been prepared. $8 for a pre made, cold sandwich? You'd get something fresh and better at Aroma one block over. read more

We stayed at the Melrose which was great but we were able to go right next door to the most friendly little place. We ended up coming over every morning for breakfast and even had some evening sandwiches. Prices were very reasonable and a good selection. If you're staying close give it a try you'll be happy you did. It was great !! read more

I love this place. Great neighborhood spot. And nice seating outside. They make their iced coffees with an espresso shot and add in the coffee and ice. So good read more

Marvelous Market. Neither is it marvelous. nor is it a market. if you are able to find anything remotely fresh in this place. (or for that matter remotely marvelous) I'll buy you any one of their shrink-wrapped, bone-dry, and still unhealthy sandwiches. read more

A fabulous little breakfast spot with good coffee and friendly staff. My breakfast bagel was great. read more

Stopped in here late on a Sunday morning for a double expresso. It was excellent and reasonable priced @ $3. They seem to be well stocked with pre made deli sandwiches and wraps. I will def be going back. read more

Awww...cute little market. I stopped in a few times while I was staying (almost) next door at The Melrose Hotel for a cup of coffee and a breakfast bagel sandwich - both good. It's not a super well-stocked market, but it's certainly adequate for a small bite, a six pack of beer, cup of coffee, etc. The market is clean, bright and has a window counter to sit and eat a sandwich of whatever one needs to do for 20 minutes or so. 3.5 stars. Note: A few more smiles from behind the counter would be really nice. read more

I love small businesses, and I love the people in charge of this place. I come here for the friendliness of the staff more than anything. A great way to start my mornings! They have a great selection of sandwiches, bagels, pastries, etc. They also have the best chocolate, much of it imported (like kinder). Always happy to pass by here! read more

After driving from Richmond to DC finding a place to eat without wasting money on Uber's was quite difficult! This place is small and unfortunately me and my boyfriend were able to find it right before we left, ironically right next to our hotel! The workers were warm and so nice! I would definitely recommend coming here to anyone visiting the area! Bagels melt in your mouth and have so much flavor! So yummy!! The picture is my bacon, egg and cheese everything bagel read more

Came here twice while staying at the Melrose Hotel it's a small mom and pop shop; open everyday at 7am. Good selection of cold drinks, beer & wine, prepared sandwiches, snacks and some groceries they also make hot breakfast sammies and lunch sammies as well. A good coffee and tea menu along with baked goodies. They even sell cigarettes for those who still partake in that unhealthy habit. If you are in a hurry, forget it only 2 people there at any given time. Otherwise it can take about 10 minutes to get a specialty drink and a fresh sandwich. The coffee and food was well prepared and tasty. There is counter seating and a table for 4 in the back, staff was friendly. A good local spot for essentials and a quick bite. read more

Not horrible, but Marvelous Market is no where near what it used to be, before it was bought out. They have a passable fresh coffee cake for $2, as well as some passable coffee drinks. It's sort of like an upscale convenience store - not horrible, but still convenience store type stuff. Pastries fresh, but still meh-ish. Staff/owner are very friendly. read more

I really loved this place. I came here on a Saturday morning and their ham and cheese croissant was delicious and cheap, I couldn't believe it was only $2.95. They toast it warm for you, it's buttery and crispy, and SO good- I bought two. They have tons of European goods too, different kinds of chocolates, cheeses, yogurts, nuts, chips, etc. They even have Magnum, my favorite ice cream when I was in Europe. It's fun to just browse, and buy and taste different things. I would come back often if I lived in the area. read more

So at some point this place literally went from Marvelous to Fabulous. I think I preferred the marvelous version, but the fabulous version is still pretty good. Prices are beyond reasonable and there is a nice selection of goodies. The service could be better, I think. The guy behind the counter was eyeballing me from the outside sidewalk all the way to the checkout without saying a word. Was he flirting or do I look like a shoplifter? No idea. read more

Great service, great sandwiches, and great pasta sauces. The habernero chips are excellent as well as the lavendar honey turkey. Expensive, but it's a friendly atmosphere. read more

Can't comment too much. It was on my way from the Metro stop to my client's place. It wasn't over roasted expensive Starbucks. I was able to get decent coffee at a good price and several other options to fill the stomach for breakfast. I'd be regular if I was in the area. read more

Good for a quick bite to eat or coffee drink. A few extra dollars for certain items. But a decent place to drop in on.

Lives up to the name, Fabulous! Prices are lower compared to other DC shop. Nice ambience. Got an iced coffee for $3 and it was delicious.

Small operation but pretty good selection. Really enjoyed their iced coffee, egg and cheese sandwich, and chicken avocado sandwich. Also a nice place to stop in for a bottle of wine or to grab a pastry to go! read more

If I could give zero I would. We were only ones in store at almost 11:00 am Sunday. Asked woman what kind of bagels, she looked over and told us which ones were still left. Sec later and were told by her, "We're out of everything." Seriously? No other option given. Just a blank stare. Clearly she was done for the day and didn't want to make any effort. Skip this place! Walk over to Whole Foods. read more

We had a breakfast here since we stayed at Melrose Hotel. Staff was very pleasant and breakfast and coffee were very nice. Recommendations for this place. read more

Nice place to grab a coffee and baked breakfast item. I haven't tried their lunch items, but I'm sure they're fine for a quick bite. The market items are few and a bit pricey, but I guess if you're needing something and you want to stay close to the area, you'll settle for what they have. read more

Overpriced. Charged me fifty cents each for plastic cups, even when I purchased overpriced beverages. Go elsewhere.

Absolutely love this place. It's a good café for a quick bite for breakfast. I recommend the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant.

Also known as Marvelous Market, Came here on a rainy Sat evening looking for dessert--- this place wasn't it. But the selection of coffees (and the taste) was a benefit. The chocolate brownie is just chocolate-- great for kids, most adults (especially those that are health fanatics) wouldn't eat this whole thing. Other desserts they had included ginger cake and ginger pound-- varies in concentration but very moist seeming products as was the brownie that I did indulge in (and rushed to the gym afterwards). They do have a bathroom and umbrella rack (you may pass the rack since it is directly in front of the door). Very very few seating spots (4-5). Probably great for those on to work for a grab and go breakfast or lunch. read more

Not sure about the customer service, since the lady ignored us until we came to the counter. Small selection, high prices, but it was conveniently located close to our hotel and had chocolate ice cream so it works. read more

Don't use the ATM at this market!!!! 10 hours after I used their ATM, I had 500.00 dollars stolen from me from "NON-CHASE ATM WITHDRAW" read more

Great lattes, great sandwiches, never crowded and the staff are always friendly. I was happy to find a place a reasonable walking distance away from the office in order to avoid a mad rush during lunch. There's also a curious amount of European chocolate to choose from...dangerous. read more

Great place for a quick quick bite or coffee. Not a huge selection but decent if you don't have the time for a full service restaurant. There's only one person behind the counter so expect a long wait if there are other customers. read more
