It's been very recent that I found out that they also sell ready-made salads, sandwiches, and wraps which are all priced very reasonably. Heck the Cesar chicken wrap is priced even less than the big box grocery store that swears they have the everyday low prices on everything. Trade Joe's today has some very good values in my opinion. I'm a fan of the Synergy drinks which sell for about $3.50 here. I also think the employees are on a totally different level when it comes to helping people. The checkout experience as well, the employees have always been down to earth and personable with me. I'm a fan now!

Did you all see the emergency services there on 9/21/2023? That was me. Yep, I needed to pick up a…read morefew things after a quick trip to cvs. I tied my dog up and went in to pick up some items. An older Asian man (store owner/manager?) approached me about my dog and an incident with a pregnant woman. She was by the front door excited speaking on the phone. In short, a pregnant woman claimed an incident with my dog, refused medical attention at the site, spoke enough English to call about 10 Latino males but not enough to call emergency services or 911 because she, and her male relatives, wanted me to transport her to the hospital. Let's unpack this. Anyways, after many excited utterances of her water breaking due to my dog, I called Arlington Police non emergency line and they sent fire truck, emts, animal control and police. I ended up calling as it didn't seem she, her male relatives or the helpful store owner/manager called and I observed a few emergency trucks driving past Pershing or near Glebe. As Arlington emergency services and police arrived, the older Asian man disappeared (along with his knowledge of the situation-- how convenient) into the ether as did most of the pregnant woman's male relatives who were there to support her and I assume, compel me into taking them all home so I could take the pregnant woman to the hospital. Also, something that seemed to evaporate and become ether was the pregnant woman's water that supposedly "broke" while I was there. Her legs, exposed just above the knee, were dry and ashy and not "slick"'or wet. Another special thing to note, the older Asian man (store owner/manager), the pregnant woman, and the pregnant woman's male family members mobile phones were not able to call 911 or emergency services. Initially, the store owner/manager, along with the woman and one of her male relatives attempted to compel me to give the pregnant woman cash on the spot. I refused to do this. So, the woman and her male relatives decided the best option was to follow me home to have me take her to the hospital from there and attempted to communicate this plan to me. Most of the male relatives showed up in trucks with some trucks having a one woman sitting inside. These male relatives could not transport her to the hospital either. I had my earbuds in and stayed in call so I was not alone. One of my relatives was convinced the store owner/manager was in on the "scam" to give the pregnant woman cash and believed he was probably receiving some type of cut or kickbacks (south Florida living does color one's perspective in interesting ways). Within 10 minutes of my call to the non-emergency line, the fire truck, emts, police and animal control arrived and took over. I do not know if the pregnant woman or her family members who did not disappear, asked the Arlington county police for me to personally take her to the hospital or to provide cash. I did observe her not allowing the emergency service to check her out. I asked the emts if they could take her to the hospital because I could not. I was told to wait for police and animal control. The fire truck and emts eventually left, as did animal control. I was told I could go. I am guessing this is not the outcome the pregnant woman, her male relatives, and quite possibly, the Glebe Market store owner or manager hoped for. Please keep in mind, there is also an older Asian female (another Glebe manager/owner -- maybe the wife or relative) that seems to like yelling at people as I observed her scurrying into Glebe market after yelling at me in CVS while I was talking to the pharmacist and picking up my prescription. Yep, she totally invaded my privacy. I thought she was homeless person that passionately cared for dogs as she was complaining that it was too hot outside for my dog (we do errands together). I double checked the weather, it said 78 F, and ignored her because I though she was having a spell. She followed me outside of CVS and by this time, is yelling and calling me awful names. I didn't say a word to her and walked around her like she wasn't there. As long as she didn't touch me, I wasn't calling the police. She loves dogs. Maybe a little too much. Of course, my dog would not let her pet him and I was still ignoring her as she had done and said awful things. I had no plans on encouraging him to allow her to hug him. I started walking the opposite way from home and observed her running into Glebe Market still yelling her awful stuff at me and running against traffic! I was very curious, changed direction and followed her inside. Of course, I did not find her. I was probably 2 minutes behind her because I had to secure my pup before going inside. This was in late spring on a Saturday morning of this year (2023).

That said, my colleague has told me some horror stories about the parking situation here, plus the higher prices and people loitering outside. Luckily, we walked over so we avoided the parking chaos entirely. Based on my experience alone, it was fine -- but it seems like timing and how you get here might make a big difference.

Parking: You have to drive down into an underground parking lot. That's cool, but you had to spend a $10 minimum to get free parking. Bet-let me get my little list together and head in. Shopping Experience-the store is nicely organized and the staff is friendly. I easily found everything that I needed to get. Upon exiting the store, I asked about how to get out of the parking area without having to pay. I was told that I would need to use the barcode on the receipt to scan out of the parking garage (remember this later in my review). Parking: I made an error and followed someone exiting the parking area and they ended up going further into the parking garage instead of going up. That was my mistake. I was in an area with taped paper arrows. It honestly looked like the area that Michael Jackson danced in within the Bad video. You know the video-they were dancing/fighting. I knew I had to get out of that parking garage or I might've seen Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Exiting the parking garage was its own thing. The exit bar is on a 45 degree incline. Hope you aren't driving a manual. I scanned the barcode on the receipt-that did not work. FYI-there is a separate receipt attachment with a barcode that needs to be scanned-not the receipt itself. Oh Safeway-what an adventure this location is.

When I stopped in once looking for plastic silverware (random, I know), not only could I not find it, but I also did not recognize many of the items on the shelves. That said, there were dozens of people shopping on a Thursday afternoon, and everything was very well organized with a smooth flow throughout the store. Mom's is a specialty store, I think that is the best word, with solid options depending on what you are looking for. As noted in other reviews, this is a smaller and more curated market. It feels somewhere between a Trader Joes and Whole Foods in terms of atmosphere and selection. It is not meant to replace your big weekly grocery run, but it really shines when you are shopping for high quality organic produce, sustainable products, or plant based alternatives. The bulk food section looked great, and there were lots of local options for dairy, meat, eggs, and more. Parking is easy-ish, especially compared to other grocery stores in the area. Checkout was quick, and the staff were friendly and genuinely helpful when I had questions. Overall, if you are open to a different kind of grocery experience that is smaller, thoughtful, and centered on organic and local products, Mom's is definitely worth a visit. It may not be your everyday grocery store, but that might be exactly why it works.
