This place is my Go To for food shopping close to work…read more As most neighborhood WFs, it's got your standard stuff, your food bars, your meat dept, self serve stations, etc. And a pretty good coffee shop service near one of the entrances. Clean, organized, amd ample space. Plenty of space for cars with their underground garages. They have ample employees handling each area and dept. Like some others, they run out of stuff depending on the merchandise. Employees, for the most part, have been very helpful and willing to assist with requests. BTW, I do like their pizza options & sizes and hot food bars here.

Your hot bar has a problem - whoever fixes the food is over-salting some of the vegetables. Dont…read moreyou have someone who periodically taste tests some of the food??? This should be a healthy place to eat, not a salt-lick.

Selections, there are many: Bibimbap (BBB, much Americanized version, yes), sushi & udon, salad bar, hot bar, cold bar and beverage stations. And items are reasonable priced given its location but it isn't cheap either. If you are in DC on culinary quest, nope, this is not your venue. But if you are wandering hungry in National Mall before 3 pm - with a federal issued ID and not carrying anything that would get you kicked out from routine security clearance - give it a try. Found outlet to recharge phone at most booths left & right, yay! Food for my iPhone too

It may seem a little off to write a Yelp review on the USDA Cafeteria, but the world has to know…read more Everything my wife and I have had here has been excellent, including the lo mein, roasted potatoes, steamed veggies, creamed spinach, veggie lasagna, kung pao chicken, spicy meatballs, meatloaf, and certainly not least, the brownies. For the general public, you'd have to enter through "Wing 4" turn left towards "Wing 3" then make a right and follow the sign to the cafeteria.

Small smoothie bar located inside Club Studio…read more If you're into nutritious snacks, I'd recommend stopping by. I ordered the strawberry shortcake smoothie which was pretty solid, 330 cals and 20 grams of whey protein. At the end of the day, it's a protein smoothie so it's gonna taste like protein powder. That said, for a protein smoothie, it was pretty flavorful! But if you're ordering this expecting a sweet "regular" smoothie, you'll probably be disappointed. There are some other snacks and drinks at the register and a couple of seats, but this is definitely more of a to-go spot.

It had a nice strawberry flavor and the coconut and cashew gave it a creamy texture. It leaned more towards a "healthy" flavor which I should've expected lol. It is definitely not overly sweet. It wasn't bad by any means but not that indulgent strawberry shortcake flavor I was hoping for.

This is a first! I was so engaged that I forgot to take pictures! Yvette greeted me with amazing…read morewarmth. 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!

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.
