There is a reason that this little plaza always has a full parking lot. Afghan Kabob, Thai, Korean…read moreBakery, Bubble Tea, Korean Barbeque, Noodles, Thingamajigs and more are available in this one special spot. Nestled between a Popeye's and an office building, parking may be the only thing that limits the growth of these special treasures. A hint to those who may be frustrated with the parking situation - there is additional parking way in the back. There is also available parking in the adjacent mini strip mall where the pet store used to be as it is largely vacant. I advise against parking in the office building lot unless it is after 7pm.

The only coffee stand worth stopping by at the Mosaic District Farmers market in my opinion. They…read morecurate their own flavors/creams and have tasty specials on rotation. My personal favorites have been the salted caramel latte - possibly one of the best I've ever had and NEEDS to be a regular part of the menu; as well as their black sesame latte. They have unique Asian inspired light bites which I have yet to try. I am hopeful for the day they have a brick and mortar cafe, but until then I look forward to the Sundays I am able to swing by and grab a coffee here at the farmers market.

This place is outstanding. They have a wide variety of coffee, tea, sodas, rice, fruits,…read morevegetables, spices, and canned items such as sardines and anchovies (canned with Thai spices).

The Thai Shop caught our eyes when we were dining in a restaurant across the way. Thai markets…read moreoften have homemade desserts so we stopped by to browse and check out their sweets. We were greeted right away when we entered. The lady asked us if we were looking for anything specific. Desserts we say. She pointed out her array of fresh desserts. This market is clean and well stocked with Thai staples, and the desserts is just the gravy on top. We picked up Lod Chong and a box of taro pastries. I've never bought such a large container of Lod Chong like this, but no worries we got to enjoy it for 3 days in a row. Oh and btw the taro pastries were soooo good. Flaky, soft, taro-y and not too sweet. We had a positive first experience here and will definitely return for more desserts.

having grown up in the dc area, and visiting my parents 1-3x annually, i'd never visited or even…read moreheard of this place until my last visit home, 2 months ago! mom used to volunteer nearby so she knew about this village, primarily for retired citizens, with a beautiful lake, tennis courts and several walking trails. the day after i ran 26.2 miles, we came here en route to the airport and it was the perfect place to get in some easy, gentle walking. in late october, the fall foliage was really peaking and i loved seeing the beautiful, rustic colours of autumn. multitudes of rust, gold, pumpkin, and chestnut coloured leaves covered the grass and walking paths, making for the most picturesque walk. i couldn't help myself from taking multiple photos and videos! i'd recommend coming here in the warmer months, perhaps with a standup paddleboard, kayak or canoe and enjoying the lake, and grabbing a beverage at one of the cafes after. very peaceful and a great hidden gem in the dmv.

There's just not a lot here. This strip mall is like so many others. Tony's NY pizza is alright…read more The Navy Federal bank has an ATM. Otherwise just not much shopping wise. There are a few boutique type of stores. These all have me yawning as I drink coffee. Situated on Jermantown and 29, this is a good location. It's certainly close to 66, and other intersections traversed heavily. It looks better than the dump of a strip mall slightly east of here. Getting in and out during midday is a cinch. Rush hour can change this. I wish they had more exciting retailers, but the snooze button is what's going on.

These are both solid picks. There is a barber shop, dentist, and Dollar Tree. Also a nice 711. It's a strip mall, so don't expect excitement.

There is a huge PUBLIC SAFETY issue in the parking lot in the front of the Giant food store…read more Inconsiderate people park there as they wait for their passengers to come out of the store. They park in front where the loading zone is, where customers cross the lot to their cars and in the bus route. I watch this daily as I frequent the Village Center often. The Giant attendants ask the offenders to move on and sometimes they are successful. There is even a sign detailing that this is not a parking zone. Here are a few suggestions: 1. The attendants need to buzz Giant management ASAP when this happens to prevent the public safety issue, 2. The owner of the village center could paint the area with bold lines indicating a cross walk and loading zone, 3. Prevent customers from crossing in front of cars opening up a designated cross areas on either side of the loading zone. 4. Post a sign with consequences - like a FINE for violation due to public safety concerns. This is a SERIOUS issue. Anyone else concerned about this??
