All the pastry was delightfully flaky and appropriately filled. Pistachio croissant was dancing on the edge of being a bit too sweet but went very well with my latte. Latte and cappuccino were nothing to write home about, potentially underextracted as there wasn't too much flavor coming through. Totally inoffensive and wouldn't hesitate to get another espresso drink if we were grabbing pastries again. Nice quaint limited outdoor seating. Had a nice chat while we demolished our goods right out front. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff that knows how to move the line quickly!

We were lucky enough to snag some goodies and got a bit of everything, we just weren't patient enough to wait to photograph everything. We did the Za'atar Gruyère Croissant, chocolate croissant, the cheese biscuit item they had (don't remember exact name) and the sfogliatelle. I'm in search of the best croissant in DC, so I regret not getting the regular croissant on this visit, but the chocolate croissant gave me an idea of what to expect. Buttery, flaky, crispy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The typical chocolate croissant was my personal favorite. When we asked what the most popular items were, we were surprised it wasn't the more classic bakery items, but we enjoyed what we tried. We want to go back soon to try some other items as well. My friend got a coffee and also enjoyed that! This is the perfect place to stop by for a treat if you make it in time!

Nearly everything is available to sample so you can try before you buy which definitely sold me. They have some awesome infusions, especially for vodkas and creme based drinks. Overall they have a really nice collection with flavors youre not going to to find most places. Nearly everything I tried can be drank straight - very high quality for true liquor/cocktail people. It's definitely a pricey store and I think a lot of the products are small batch. Not your everyday liquor store but great for something special or different. They also sell balsamics and oils! Happy to know this place is here and will be back!

The staff is very good; knowledgeable about their inventory and lets you browse without pestering. It's a triangular space and a heck of a lot has been put on the shelves and in the nooks and crannies. The way things are displayed in the store is helpful. There's an intelligence about it, always meticulously maintained. It's become a part of my shopping routine. I'm happy to support an independent business that's locally-founded and managed.

This was easily one of the most entertaining brunches I've experienced in the DMV, while still maintaining an upscale vibe. From the singer taking special requests during brunch to the live entertainment afterward, drummers, dancers, and a saxophonist turning things into a full brunch party...we were thoroughly entertained from start to finish. What really stood out, though, was that the food matched the energy. At some places, you get great entertainment but mediocre food - not here. Everything was beautifully presented, served at the perfect temperature, and genuinely delicious. My friend was so impressed with her birthday celebration that she thanked me for days afterward. The service was impeccable, the space is stunning with plenty of Instagram-worthy moments, and despite how busy it was, it somehow still felt warm and welcoming. If you're in the mood to get dressed up, enjoy an upscale brunch, celebrate a special occasion, or impress someone on a date, this is definitely the place. I'm already looking forward to my next brunch party here!

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.

I will say the focaccia bread was really good - it made the chicken parm itself not feel so heavy. However, I will say the sandwich itself to be underwhelming. The chicken wasn't memorable and it wasn't a good value spot compared to other options in the area. The service itself was pretty speedy considering no one else was ordering from here. The Union Market area is always bustling with folks, but the hype did not align with this spot. I am happy to try this place, and I will consider going back at a future time.
