“ I really enjoy going to this place. Out of the 7 places I can walk to for coffee; I like theirs the best. Ronald & everyone there is super nice. I highly recommend swing by especially if your an out of towner for a true DC experience. ”
“ Great spot to drop in for a coffee or emergency groceries! They don't have everything and what they do have is expensive, but they usually have eggs and basics like that. Lots of gourmet snacks. And wine! My only complaint is that they're often sold out of oat milk. I've tried the sunflower milk they stock and it's not my fave. Pretty cramped inside but they have a great patio in the warmer months. Right now they set up a little bistro table inside since it's so cold out. I love dogs but I am grateful that dogs stay outside so they're not mixed up with the food. There is a doggy "parking spot" right outside the door. ”
“ The breakfast sandwiches were so good and affordable we ate there 3 of our 7 days in DC. Friendly staff, nice vibes. Nice little selection of grocery items. ”
“ We absolutely love the staff at Union Kitchen! They consistently deliver the best customer service and always have spot-on suggestions. If you’re craving the best cookies on Capitol Hill, do yourself a favor and head over to Union Kitchen. Huge shoutout to Lisa and the newbie Larry—you two are awesome. Thanks for making every visit a great one. Go team! ”
“ Ronald greets you with a smile and a friendly hello!! Everyone is the store was delightful and fun! The store is adorable and very well kept and the breakfast sandwiches were delicious!! Such a great find and we will be back!! ”
“ If you travel from Union Station and have some spare time. Do that brisk walk to find this cute store. Super friendly staff serving delicious coffee and sandwiches in a nice area! Highly recommended! ”
“ What a great neighborhood shop! I like to stop on my way to work to pick up a latte and club sandwich (for lunch!). The lattes are perfect and well-priced. I'd be willing to pay more since it's a locally-owned store, so it's a bonus that they're at least 1 cheaper than other DC coffee shops. (Hey, a dollar adds up.) The staff is also very friendly. ”
“ Was in town for 4 days (visiting from Portland Oregon, was staying with a friend 3 blocks away). I had breakfast sandwiches here 3 of the 4 days, and a standard sandwich for the last dinner while in DC. AMAZING food, is all I can say! Plus, such a great little market absolutely packed with grocery goods, many/most of which were locally sourced from small businesses! Really can't wait to come back and have another meal! Also should note that the second time I came back, the woman taking my order (I think maybe the owner?) remembered my name from 2 days before, and welcomed me back warmly! The third time, she didn't even ask for my name, she just automatically typed it in! ”
