Visited Cocos Food on the morning of May 5, 2026, while rushing before work. I've been shopping at…read morethis store for over 10 years, and this was honestly one of the most disappointing customer service experiences I've had here. I've always appreciated Cocos Food for its fresh products, fair prices, and especially the kindness of the regular cashiers, who have usually been respectful and professional over the years. On this visit, however, there was only one register open with a long line of more than six people. Since I was in a hurry, I politely asked at customer service if I could check out there instead. The individual there, who appeared to be part of management rather than a regular cashier, initially said yes. Instead of helping me, he then walked away, called over people from the main line, and began assisting them first. After I had already placed my groceries down, he told me to step back and wait while he served others. His tone and behavior felt dismissive, rude, and completely lacking in professionalism. What made this especially frustrating was that the regular cashier at the open register seemed aware of the situation, and in all my years shopping here, I've never experienced this kind of treatment from the normal staff. This felt like poor judgment from someone who may have had a management role, which is even more concerning. I want store management to seriously address this situation. If this person is part of management, then this review is direct feedback that customer service and leadership need improvement. If he is not, then management should still look into this incident because his behavior negatively impacted a loyal customer's experience. I still value the store itself, but respectful treatment matters just as much as good products. I hope this review encourages accountability and prevents other customers from experiencing the same disrespect.

I've been here on different days and at different times and never had to deal with a crowd or long lines. The store is always fully stocked with produce and very clean. As soon as I walk in, Tous le Jour just shouts my name. There is a small food court next to the bakery, but I'm usually occupied with the desserts. I've walked to each food spot to see what they offer, but have yet to try them. The staff I encountered were friendly and didn't just nod or grunt. They also let me pack my own bags, which I appreciate. Plenty of parking available, it is shared with neighboring businesses.

The first time we were here, we were more focused on the food court. However, we took a few…read moreminutes to buy some manzano bananas. Their baby bok choy looked quite good and fresh. We didn't buy any because we weren't planning to cook some up any time soon. The second time, we came better prepared. I had a list of ingredients for making a bok choy recipe that we liked. Yes, we did buy the baby bok choy. Also, we found snow peas and shiitake mushrooms. We were quite impressed with the produce section as all their fruits and veggies were fresh and the store was very clean. Even though they weren't part of the recipe, we picked up more manzano bananas. Browsing the aisles, I also found some dried tree ear. One thing we saw that we liked was that they had a couple of aisles dedicated to Hispanic foods with one aisle dedicated to Peruvian foods. We were pleased to see that they had Inca Kola and bought some. For those who cook Indian foods, there is an aisle dedicated to those foods. The cashiers we dealt with were friendly. When the cashier we dealt with on our most recent visit saw that we were buying the Inca Kola and manzano bananas, she asked me in Spanish if I needed a shopping bag. I said, in English, "Yes please" which surprised and amused her. I never did get fully fluent in Spanish thus the reason I answered in English. We both agree that we would come back to shop here when we plan to do Asian cooking. Just note that parking can be tight as it is a popular place. In fact, when we entered the parking lot last visit, 6 cars decided to leave at the same time...yikes!

I don't get out to the Sauson International Grocery as often as I used to, but I still make the…read moretrip 1-2 times a month for mainly one thing: some of the freshest and tastiest bread in all of the DMV. Every culture has their own interpretation of taking the basic ingredients of flour, yeast, salt and water and transforming it via various baking methods into their version of "bread." There is a long history of using circular oval shaped ovens in Asia and the Middle East as a way of both conserving space and to efficiently cook foods with even heat distribution and small footprints in otherwise cramped kitchens. In India these ovens are called tandoors while in Japan they are referenced as kamados. Sauson International Grocery has been in operation since 2011, and the owner, who everyone knows as "Mr. Rashid," is of Persian descent having emigrated from Iran. He is always super friendly and willing to answer questions I may have about the wide variety of Middle Eastern spices and foods this place stocks. Don't be surprised if you strike up a conversation with him, and he offers you a cup of wonderfully spiced tea and a cookie or pastry from the delectable dessert case. As some of the reviews have noted, parking is tricky. There is a small covered garage under the building. But you may have to park at the nearby church or on the street and then walk over to the store. This place is well known for their bread, which is being made throughout the day. I came a bit later today, so they had just finished making a few batches. But it's not uncommon to witness skilled bakers kneading and rolling, and then slapping the dough onto the circular metallic oven for a few minutes, before piping hot fresh bread emerges. The bread is amazing. It is pliable, without being overly chewy. It is slightly salty, with a great smoky almost charred flavor. I've had it cut into pieces and then dipped with hummus or rolled into gyros or used to sandwich kabob meat. And believe it or not, it's even pretty good as a PB&J. Everyone, and I mean everyone, I've introduced this product to usually asks: (1). What type of bread is this? and (2). Where can I buy it? Note: As of this review, the current price is $8.05 for FOUR large round pieces of bread. Apart from the bread, there is also a small butcher shop in the back, and a kitchen where hot foods like kabob platters are made. There is also a small seating area in front of the store, where folks can sip tea and relax while enjoying sweets from the display case. Sauson is a really cool place and while I usually go with the intention of only buying bread, it's not uncommon for me to walk out with a few bags of unique Middle Eastern groceries.

Upon checking out and paying him, he hands me my bag of purchased things and says, "Ok, go." - In awe of how he spoke to me, I said nothing and walked out.
