BUT I needed the tools(pans, baking tools, and the skills). That wasn't happening today. The staff was SUPER informative and encouraging. He signed me up for the rewards program and gave me some coupons to order online and get free shipping. He explained that this location is actually a pop up that has been there since 2024. He said they would be closing soon. He did mention that Old Town Alexandria was getting a permanent store. Maybe by that time, I will have developed some cooking skills.

This employee-owned business has perfected the art of all things baking and has made it accessible for the masses. You can purchase their items at Whole Foods and even BJ's ... but this store is truly a showcase of their greatest hits. I nearly blacked out as I placed box after box of baking mix into my cart. Their mixes run the gamut from scones, pancakes, popovers, babka, muffins, pretzels, pizza dough, and more. I got 20% off since it was Black Friday and they even gave me a little bundt cake ornament as a special gift. They had their gingerbread cake out to sample, and it was surprisingly delicious (as someone who does not traditionally like gingerbread). This is a pop-up that is scheduled to close soon but I hope that they find another home in the area soon. Everyone I interacted with was super nice and friendly too!

I recently came here looking for specific Middle Eastern type spices and they had exactly what I…read moreneeded with plenty of options from different brands. Everything was well organized, clean, and neat. They have fresh baked Afghani baked breads, pastries, and all sorts of ingredients for cooking, seasonings, spices, etc. I was impressed by the fresh cuts of meat from the butcher department, the fresh baked breads, and overall assortment of ingredients. They also sell different types of baklava too!! Prices were resonanle. I plan to make this place a part of my rotation for groceries and produce.

I've seen similar items marked up elsewhere, so it felt good to shop here and get fair value.

I heard someone in there complaining to the butcher about the meat. Also when we walked in we weren't greeted even though it's a tiny market with two people standing near the register (they were talking amongst themselves) and we had to wait for checkout because of that. Customer service is lacking.

I have been lucky enough to try Le Papiyon at two chocolate festivals in the area and truly cannot…read moreemphasize enough how incredible these chocolates are. Their chocolates are made with classic flavors and components (like pistachio, Nutella, or feuilletine) but are some of the highest quality I've ever had- including in Switzerland! Some of my favorites are the cotton candy (filled with real cotton candy!), creme brulee, and chocolate pistachio feuilletine. I wish I had found these in time for my wedding because these would have made such a special favor- I can see them also being great for bridal showers or special birthdays. As someone with a huge sweet tooth, these are really something special. The owner could not be nicer, either. This is the kind of business you feel good about supporting and you get something truly delicious in return.

I've been dying to try this Azerbaijani café that also serves plethora dishes from the former…read moreSoviet Union. My long-awaited visit did not disappoint. The khinkali or Georgian dumpling, filled with cheese and accompanied by a delightful hot sauce, was scrumptious! We would have also tried beef, but they had run out by the time we got there that evening. My friend and I also enjoyed the cabbage salad and beef-filled samsa or croissant-like pastry. We also sampled baklava, and that was one of the best baklava I've ever had! The honey cake was good but not my favorite; I'd like to try again another day. Besides the delicious and hearty fare, we also enjoyed the sweet and helpful service and cozy atmosphere. Baku Delicious also makes a great destination for gifts if you're looking for teas, honey, chips, cheeses, etc.

Service was amazing- greeted promptly and maybe they knew I didn't visit often as they asked if they could help with anything. They walked me through some menu items, let me know I could carry out or dine in for an extra charge, and let me peruse at my pace. The space was clean, with a couple of tables to sit down and enjoy a hot entree or nibble if you wanted. I almost plopped down to dig into my desserts but had to exercise self control. I will definitely be back to try more items.

If you have had regular grocery store bought polish sausage... forget it!! Go here and try, you'll never buy kielbasa at a regular store again!! It's an hour drive for an old man... but I will make it up there as often as I am able. P.S. The stuffed cabbage is to DIE for! I just heated it up with a can of tomato sauce and BAM!! Memories of grandma and the family came flooding back!

I'd say probably about 80% of the vendors are staples and there's about 20% new or seasonal vendors. Some of my favorites include the pretzel stand, fruit and tomato stand ($20 per bucket!), the paleta hand trucks and the one or two bakeries. I love supporting local. Plus, all the vendors above are super friendly and I love interacting with them on a weekly basis. As for prepared food (besides the pretzels), I'll be honest, I think most are pretty overpriced and I don't think anything stands out. We've tried a few food trucks and stands but it's been kind of disappointing every time. I'm waiting to be pleasantly surprised. I think the empanada stand is probably the best prepared food I've tried but I get it only once in a while (the line can be super long). The vibes are great. I think URBN Market has organized a fantastic weekly market at Mosaic and I love the seasonal event weekends too. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

Part of the produce section was a bit sparse today but maybe it's stocking day? I did have an employee ask me if I needed any assistance finding something & he was nice.

I really appreciate the customer service here as well , the guys are always very friendly and in a good mood . The other important thing here is that you can get very fresh fish, from Icelandic Arctic char to the best tasting Samaan around.
