“I've been going here for over 10 years now, the business has recently been taken over by new owners.The new owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. Although it still has that old school liquor store vibe to it, the new owners and staff have really put a lot of work into cleaning up and neatly organizing the whole place,I as a long time customer commend them for all of their hard work and wish them nothing but the best with their business”
“I ordered online on the night of Dec 25; they shipped morning Dec 26. Packaging was excellent! Got it Dec 30, right thru the holidays. Faster than Amazon AND found something that Amazon was selling way more expensive (juice from Europe). I am happy to have found this little known store. Will buy again.”
“This my store now they have good sandwiches. I had the chicken salad and turkey sandwiches. Both are good for sure and they will feel you up. Great prices for a heavy sandwich. Good job ??”
“Iykyk Trader Joe's never did me wrong. I love their prices and everything is always on point. I wish they sold ice though too lol perfect place to grab a bottle of wine or ciders, cheese, meats and crackers. For all under $20 and all very good quality. The staff are always cool and ready to help you. I always need help when I'm in there lol”
“Always a fun shopping experience and great prices. If you're not in a mad rush, engage the checkout folks in a conversation. They're invariably friendly and talkative.”
“Helpful staff at this TJs location and always well-staffed at the checkouts, so even when there is a line it moves quickly. Free underground parking and a bike rack inside the parking garage (to the right of the entrance).”
“The two TJs on Wisconsin are a hit rundown with many missing items and the shelves not in order. I fave 4 stars for the chain reputation more than the actual valuation of the 2 stores I visited”

“The staff are this location is REALLY friendly and helpful. Typically, when the weather is nice, I go to the Sunday Bethesda Farmer's Market first and then walk 5 minutes to The Organic Butcher. Weekends, of course, are busier, but the wait is never long, and it's nice to look at all the specialty products.
If you're into hot sauce, they make in-house a really nice fermented hot sauce - follow them on social media so you know when the next batch drops.”
“I usually don’t write reviews, so that should tell you how impressive these guys are. We live in CA and order from them regularly. They have a huge selection of quality products. My daughter wanted an MD fruit drink in a glass bottle, and they wrapped it with incredible care. They shipped multiple other glass items, like polos and sprats, all the way to CA, and everything arrived in perfect condition.
I highly recommend Grocerylanka, whether shopping in-store or online. If they can impress my mom, they’re doing an outstanding job. Keep up the excellent work!”
“I love Rodman’s! There is always something new to find. Their selection of coffee and tea is excellent. I also have to give kudos that they have Bethesda Bagels in the bread section now! As well as baguettes from Bread Furst. Saves me a trip. Thank you!!”
“Where do I begin?? Amazingly eye-catching! I really appreciate finding jewels like this in the community.
Food co-op Glut is a MUST VISIT!!!
I went to ACTUALLY buy just sugar, and was overwhelmed (in a good way, like a kid in a candy store) with options!
Prices are absolutely reasonable. I buy organic raw cane in the grocery store all the time, and I know a deal when I come across it!
On my next visit to Glut, I'll remember to bring my basket & containers for my bought supplies.
Next time you're in northeast DC to southwest MD check it out! You won't be disappointed!!”
“The arrival of Trader Joe's to the Freidnship Heights is a significant , long waited, improvement to the quality of life in the neighborhood. Expected to provide some downwards pressure on pricing policies of the local Whole foods market and expand variability in available supply, including from imports. Taking into account recent opening of Lydl nearby, the local grocery situation becomes even more enjoyable.”
“Amazingly friendly and helpful staff always going above and beyond for customers! I’ve come to this location for quite a while and have never been disappointed with their selection, produce quality, and staff.”

“I love wandering around in Rice Market - it feels like entering another world, with an incredibly comprehensive and fun selection of beautifully arranged food and home products. I work nearby and come for the hot prepared grab-and-go food, which tastes more like grandma's cooking than a restaurant. In cold weather, the outside terrace is empty, so you can enjoy delicious hot food in the refreshing cold and people watch for 10-15 minutes.”
“I absolutely *love* this market in Bethesda! It’s a true hidden gem, offering an incredibly authentic Mediterranean shopping experience with *everything* you could possibly need. From fresh groceries to specialty imported goods, this place has it all—and at prices that are **more than reasonable**!
One of the best things about this market is its **unique selection**. I was thrilled to find **specialty chocolates and desserts** that I had been searching for everywhere else with no luck. The fact that they carry such rare and delicious treats makes this place a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Mediterranean flavors.
Another huge plus? **Convenient street parking** makes it easy to stop by, whether you're grabbing groceries or picking up some amazing prepared foods to enjoy at home.
Honestly, shopping here feels like stepping into a bustling European market—warm, welcoming, and full of incredible finds. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out! **Highly, HIGHLY recommend!** ?”

“Fort Myer has the best Comissary I have been to so far in my career. It's overall very well stocked and maintained, especially the produce section which is much better than others in the area.”
“Already an amazing Trader Joe’s, but today on a busy Sunday Laj was absolutely fantastic. She genuinely connected with me during my check out while also packing my items so carefully but quickly. Truly made my Sunday”

“If you're looking for a true community hub with amazing prices, this is it. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, but the shelves are fully stocked with East African staples like lentils, specialty teas, and even tej (honey wine). I loved the smell of freshly brewed arabic tea the second I walked in. It’s clearly a favorite for locals, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Great value for authentic products you just can’t find at a standard grocery store.”
“What a lovely neighborhood store! Got a great and simple sandwich on my way across town and enjoyed the friendly staff and the local artists' works on display.”
“Staff were friendly and helpful when I asked where soda water was located. Cashier packed my bag for me and made sure I wasn't walking to not overload my grocery bags.”
“I love our Trader Joe's on 25th street NW in Washington DC. Today, before snowstorm, staff were still helpful and friendly, willing to check for items. As they always do.
Got the essentials as you can see.
Thank you!!”
“Flowers! Flowers! Flowers! And I love the produce, goat milk, large chocolate bars, and tons of other stuff. I first shopped at Trader Joe's in 1979 in Santa Monica, CA.”
“Use to go here almost 20 years ago. You know what to expect here. Was craving a salad so I stopped by. Food is excellent, phenomenal prices but the ladies at the salad/sandwich station were dry...”
“Awesome neighborhood corner store. I grew up in the area and have been impressed with how the store has grown over the years. It really has become a part of the community.”
“Very good small supermarket, with fresh produce and lots of Latin American products. The papaya there was the best I’ve ever had in DC. Let’s support these small stores that make DC streets more interesting!”
“Parking on the 3rd floor in the back of the bldg. Elevator down to store in the back of the garage, over the store, and you can validate for 90min on a little machine after you're done checking out. There's a Naked Lunch there, which is missing from the one closest to my house. Yum! Groceries are on the pricey side, and there is a bigger variety of stuff that I typically buy.”
“My wife of 15 years being from Thailand needs products from her region sometimes not necessarily from Thailand. We have been customers for years after Thai Market closed in downtown Silver Spring. Always friendly and generally have the spices and condiments she likes to maintain.”
“Only place in the area I've been able to find tamarind sauce (specifically sauce, not chutney)! Wish I'd checked here before ordering some from the UK. Helpful and polite staff. Small store but good selection, especially of spices and dried fruits. I wasn't buying meat so I can't comment on that.”

“My first visit to this location it was pretty busy on a Saturday and afternoon parking was tight. The hot foods dining area was pretty small. They seem to offer like eight different types of soup. They had some premade dishes and dishes available. I picked up a couple onigiri, marinated eggs, seaweed salad, and some pickled ginger.
Tons of options of miso and kimchi, noodles, dumplings, ramen, galore. I picked up a few kinds of kelp, some wakeme and some kombu.
All of the fresh fruits and vegetables were really impressive. They had tons of different types of mushrooms and it was pretty cool to see some variety packs available.
Lots of fresh durian, even small already cut and prepped.
The meat and seafood areas were impressive as well.”
“Not gonna lie, I prefer how it used to be over how it is not, maybe over nostalgia but the Brentwood market seemed authentic when Ms. Nancy still owned it but now, it looks like every other store in the area. Love the cute cats that come out to chill in the parking lot after closing, and the new windows really give a new look to the place. I love the change, but the old Brentwood market holds a dear place in my heart.”
