I have been here over 3 dozen times atleast. I always grab a sandwich and have venture into their homemade pizza dough, pasta sauces, baked goods and more. I've never had anything bad here over several years. They have an online ordering service which makes pick up a lot more easier. Sometimes when it's busy you can expect to wait 20-30 mins on your sandwich, so i usually order in advance. Parking can be touch and go sometimes but there's a free parking garage (up to 3 hours) around the corner.

There are a bunch of different cheese plates, but I tried the cheese monger which is basically dealer's choice. I can't remember all the wines we tried, but between both the reds and whites, no one at our table had a complaint. The inside is cute, but seating does fill up quickly on Saturday night. I noticed there were bar seats too, but would try to come when they open. The staff that helped us were helpful and really kind! Will definitely come again.

Brittney and John were so helpful in explaining all the items and where they were sourced. The music and indie decor made for a very peaceful and relaxing Sunday evening. We had a glass of Chardonnay which was smooth and crisp paired with a cheese plate adding Salami. The Cheese was distinct with many of their items coming from well known distributors. The cheese plate was paired well with pickled green beans, peanuts, jam, and bread. We hope to be back to try everything else on the menu.

So I saw that SOKO was trending for best Philly cheesesteak in DC. So when I saw that they had…read moreHarvey's in Union Market, I figured I had to check out to continue my search for best Philly Cheesesteak outside of Philly (Angelo's, Uncle Gus, and John's being my top 3 in Philly). Let me start with the cheesesteak. I am a firm believer that an amazing cheesesteak has to nail the 3 components: 1) quality meat, 2) gooiness of the cheese, 3) freshness of the roll. Harvey's nailed the meat. The gooiness of the cheese was inconsistent but I do like their take on their own wiz. The roll was eh. Also, the onions were just thrown into the meat instead of being car elided on the flat grill. I think what really took my by surprised was the staff. The cook seemed to be on break eating while I waited for my order. Now it was a little dead in Union Market. I showed up around 5ish on a Friday night. But I was a little caught off guard when watching the staff during the making of my sandwich. Just expected a higher standard. If I lived in the area, I love the availability of getting fresh quality cuts of meat as they have available for your viewing pleasure. Their menu of sandwiches available here still look great. But now that I've tried their cheesesteak, I don't feel the need to stop for it again.

We got three ripe mangoes for $2, 1 lb of serranos for $2, and three giant green peppers for $2. The spice section was also particularly well stocked, with options that you can't find at any of the nearby stores. The store itself is immaculately clean and tidy, and appears to be family owned. Will definitely be back when I need corn tortillas, a mangonada fix, jalapeños, or a cold Jarritos.

My original plan was to get some food from near there, but what I had intended to get was totally sold out for some reason. I don't know what's going on with that place, but that's something I will revisit later. This place came up in my Yelp search and I thought the idea of sushi would be a light and refreshing meal. When I walked in I was surprised by how big it was, despite being more of a grab and go type situation. But it was cool to see that they also had bowls and plenty of desserts! The sushi trays were varying prices, mainly depending on the kind of sushi it was. I got the Tuna Lovers sushi for $11, a BBQ chicken bao for $6, and I couldn't help but grab cheesecake! It was two slices (one black sesame, one green tea) for $5. This was surprisingly high quality. It's set up almost like those markets you see in rest stops or at airports, but everything was really good! They also have dumplings and a few other items that are cooked to order, so there is more to them that meets the eye. You can either get a speedy snack or dine in. The staff are also very sweet and offered to heat my bao as soon as he realized I was going to buy it. I didn't even have to pay first. I will most definitely be back!

We lucked into finding this place looking for something quick and easy…read more Cashier was very friendly and helped answer all of our questions on the extensive menu. Pleasantly surprised at the quality of the sushi and the variety of food they offer. Sushi rolls, dumplings, rice bowls, etc. are already made for grab and go. They can also make them fresh to order. We grabbed the spicy combo platter that came with the eel and salmon. We got hungry so got the shrimp tempura roll as well. The drink selection is diverse and they're reasonable prices around $3. Busy and in a hurry, this fast casual place offers high quality and great tasting good. Very convenient to order ahead or pop in and pick something up for lunch.

Destroying cakes and emotional seclusion…read more I had the honor of meeting DC's up-and-coming pastry genius "Shameless Chef" at a wedding that was being catered by her 'cake bites.' Not ever hearing of the delectable devils that I could not stop ogling, I approached the smiling women to get the dibs on the dips. What I encountered was not only a bold taste but a bold business model that can be tasted in each bite. She bakes a cakes, destroy them, and in the process reinvents not only the food but the person making it. Ending up in the DMV post master's degree in Social Work, this baker feels the process of making these balls with love is a form of therapy for those struggling with personal demons and unhealthy dependencies. Listening to her story in awe, she shared her goal of hiring those who not only need a job but who need to be healed. Genius! So yes, there is a cliche that emotions can be tasted in food, but I think this Shameless Chef has proven it fact. I tried: Chocolate^3: the cure to the chocoholic. Pumpkin: pure fall desire. Red Velvet: sinfully good in a sinless size. Carrot Pecan: a smooth and sweet adaptation of a forgotten fibber treat AND the best carrot cake I've ever had. Though what stole the show as well as the actual wedding cake at the wedding was her simple "Vanilla" cake ball. My 2015 favorite dessert of the district. Yes Pixar fans, this is that moment in "Ratatouille" (2007) when Anton Ego food critic tastes one bite of Ratatouille and is transported back in time and left motionless. How can destruction taste so good? I have no idea. Though this perfect bite of pure sweet vanilla is what I have been thinking about even while eating a professional pasty chef's wedding cake.

The Giant Peanut Butter Cup is very decadent with rich dark chocolate and creamy peanut butter.

The Dark Chocolate Covered Mint Oreo was delicious and my pick over the Dark Chocolate Covered Oreo, which didn't taste that different from a normal Oreo. Of the truffles, the Raspberry and Dark Chocolate Ganache were my favorites. The Hazelnut truffle was fun to try and reminded me of a Ferraro Rocher hazelnut truffles. I miss seeing Capital Candy Jar at the farmer's markets as many have shut down and excited to see them at more festivals and events post pandemic. Looking forward to seeing them again and coming back for more delicious sweet treats!
