The strawberry is my favorite flavor as it can double as a jelly on toast! The beverages are amazing. I've enjoyed the sea moss soaps and I stock up on the shea butters. They last awhile and smell great. This is a great group of people I will always cherish moments of sharing watermelon and juice samples. Thankful for this space.

She knew all about the conditions that I was concerned with and was able to offer several alternatives using natural herbs and supplements, to attain my goals. I sampled the sea moss gel, which was actually good tasting because they add real fruit. I invested in some essential oils, body, butters, and hair preparations made from top grade natural ingredients. Each product smells delicious! I am looking forward to excellent results. As Yvette said, it never hurts to reduce the toxic load of body products that comes from putting synthetics on our skin instead of natural, edible products. We parted with hugs and smiles. After all, our skin eats (absorbs)! I will visit again and I highly recommend, especially due to the warm, welcoming ambience that this shop has created. By the way, they are so honest that if they don't carry a particular supplement, they will send you to someone who does carry it. Awesome!

    I really never know what to expect in regards to shops that stock products like the ones provided…read moreby this business, but a friend's reference and some internet-research dabbling gave me the impression (and a prayer to God for that impression to actually prove accurate) that this store is very professional and clean, with staff that takes pride in the knowledge, quality, and selection of their merchandise, versus some of the more across-the-tracks "headshops" with poor lighting, a noxious stench that attacks you as soon as you come within twenty yards of it, Pink Floyd over the speakers, and usually inevitably, at least two white dudes with dreadlocks who couldn't even begin to answer any of your questions helpfully, regardless of how hard you may try. I'll cut to the chase (finally), stop smack-talking headshops (though I generally condemn the existence of any that all-too-often adhere to that basic formula listed above, as I believe that those stores which are able to sell "legal highs" but are unable to give any helpful information about their "proprietary" ingredients or warnings or, really, anything helpful that may serve as a means of reducing potential harm) and save you the (likely-long-extinguished) suspense: this shop was a fantastic departure from that headshop bogeyman that inexplicably rests at the forefront of my mind most of the time. The store is tiny but beautifully laid-out, light and airy, and very well-stocked. The employees whom I spoke to, and who were also helping other customers, were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. While obviously you can't be absolutely certain about the contents of any of their products (as they are not FDA-approved, and the store is not a DC-regulated dispensary), I recognized many of the brands sold and feel quite confident that what you see is what you get. It's very obvious by the information volunteered by the employees (including some very beautiful brochures and pamphlets about their shop and their products -- I uploaded a crappy iPhone photo of the front and back of an introductory brochure to CBD that serves as an excellent 101 for any "beginner") and the upkeep of their shop that they take pride in the range, efficacy, utility, and quality of the products that they sell, and with each customer who doesn't quite know yet where to start in the potentially huge -- and therefore often excessively confusing or contradictory -- world that can comprise CBD or kratom or other herbal modalities, it truly seems that the folks working here make a true effort to match customers with the type of item that would best suit their needs. I definitely give five stars and doff my cap to this store -- after failing to renew my medical marijuana card this past year and having lacked the money and time to rectify that, this type of store is an excellent alternative or complement to the regulated DC medical dispensaries. Obviously they legally cannot sell anything containing THC, but that's no problem with me, and it's always good to see a store that theoretically COULD source more "stoner"-centric products and try to get away with it (we've all seen those weird pop-ups in DC from time to time), they make it very clear that they intend to follow the law to the letter. I hope that this shop sticks around for a long time, because it's very impressive -- aesthetically, economically, and by the helpfulness and non-judginess of their staff -- and I always want to support local businesses like that. (To be fair, I believe that they do have another shop in Illinois or something, but even so, it's still a small, independent company that seems to main high standards and ethics in an industry where they could easily get away with selling bunk garbage, with many customers none the wiser. I admire their integrity.)

Honestly, the reason I think this store is great is that it allows greater access to organic foods and foods for alternative eating lifestyles in a community that may not have the same access as others. It's perfect for my sister and I, who are vegetarians, and it's within walking distance of the main strip of Anacostia. Change has to start somewhere and this store is just the beginning. So stop in and help this business grow so it can continue to change the community from within. Check out the other stores and spaces while you're there & don't forget your reusable bag.

The owner is kind and passionate about breaking through the food desert in Wards 7 and 8. The store itself is set up like a small organic market with fresh produce, local products, and other products. You could easily get most of your groceries here and the prices are reasonable for quality goods. They sell wine, snacks, fruit, literally almost everything! They also teach healthy cooking classes and host other events.

On June 6, 2026, I was scratched by a sharp metal corner at a checkout counter while loading groceries onto the conveyor belt. The scratch broke the skin and bled. What made the incident particularly concerning is that this was the second time I had been injured by the same checkout counter. After the first incident several months earlier, I brought the hazard to the attention of store staff. Following the June 6 incident, I sent a detailed email to the customer service address published on the MOM's website. I received no acknowledgment or response. On June 12, I forwarded the same email to Scott Nash, the company's owner and CEO, using the email address published on the MOM's website. Again, I received no acknowledgment or response. On June 16, after ten days without any response from the company, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. As of June 19, I still have not received any communication from MOM's. What disappoints me most is not the scratch itself. Maintenance issues and mistakes can happen in any business. What is disappointing is that a longtime customer reported a repeat safety hazard through multiple channels and received no response whatsoever. I would have been satisfied with a simple acknowledgment, confirmation that the issue had been investigated, and an explanation of what corrective action had been taken. Instead, I was met with complete silence. Based on this experience, I will be taking my business elsewhere.
