Stopped in here while I was at the Wharf (waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant). My son found…read morea few trinkets and so I thought we'd get them since we had a little time. There were a couple of people in front of us in line, no big deal. But, when it got to the person directly in front of us I began to wonder if they really wanted my business. The woman at the register (who I found out was the manager) was moving as slow as possible, literally having complete conversations about various topics. And she kept looking at me, looking away, and then seemed to just move slower (no I'm sorry, with you in a minute, etc). It was one of the stranger (and more uncomfortable) service experiences I've had in recent memory. After suggesting that I would just go elsewhere where she did offer to ring me up and offered a 50 cent discount for the wait. I did purchase the items because my son was getting upset and I wanted to shield him from the ugliness of the situation. However, the manager just didn't seem like she wanted to serve me and I really felt like I was being treated differently than other customers. I won't speculate about why, but needless to say there are plenty of other businesses in the area that I know will happily serve me and I will never walk through the door of this one again.

Items are on the pricey side. $70+ depending on the garment. It's worth a look though. I bought an evening clutch, an earring/necklace set, a pair of sunglasses and a hat on sale for $110 with tax! Good deal for sure!

I typically come to get a matcha latte from…read moretheir seasonal menu & chocolate croissant for breakfast (which if you come before 10:00am, you order at the window outside & they have outside seating). During the afternoon, I am able to go inside to order & browse their collection of clothes & shoes. The drinks are made to perfection & I'm still thinking about their caramel apple butter matcha from their fall/ winter seasonal menu! The matcha's are a beautiful green color that don't taste like grass, but also don't taste super sweet as if I'm drinking sweet milk. My personal favorite at the moment is the Tokyo fog, which is an earl grey tea with matcha cold foam. The staff are very kind, welcoming, & knowledgeable about the drinks and clothing/ shoe collections. I personally love that they have their own merch that you can buy & you can wear/ use it without feeling like you're a walking logo lol. I get anxiety when shopping due to having so many options or other stores breathing down my neck, but the staff makes it so easy for me to shop & feel good about my purchases. I was given a loyalty card that they punch holes in every time I order, which gets me a free drink & I make sure I keep it on me!

Majority of Navy Yard is populated with local chains, and SOMEWHERE offered something unique. BLUE MATCHA - 8 I think this is just milk + spirulina (don't think there's actually matcha in here, but maybe there was so little of it that I couldn't tell). Either way, it was disappointing. It tasted like blue-colored whole milk with a slight "sea umami" flavor from the spirulina. Definitely not worth how much I paid for in terms of quality and quantity.
