"Union Kitchen Grocery on 9th Street NW is one of those local gems that feels like a cool, elevated corner store meets neighborhood café. It’s a short walk from the Convention Center, and a great stop whether you’re looking for a quick bite or some unique finds. The market itself has a laid-back, welcoming vibe, with shelves stocked with a curated mix of everyday essentials and small-batch, locally made snacks and goodies, which are perfect for discovering something new or picking up a DC-made treat. What makes it even better? There’s a cozy little indoor dining area and picnic-style seating outside, ideal for lingering over a coffee, breakfast sandwich, or a quick lunch. Their made-to-order sandwiches are solid picks—fresh, flavorful, and perfect for fueling up on the go. Whether you’re exploring the neighborhood or just need a low-key spot to recharge, Union Kitchen Grocery hits that sweet spot between convenience and charm."

"Amazing fresh food. And I mean super fresh, cooked that morning for My amazing salad. Friendly local service. Great selection of drinks and snacks."

"The salad and sandwich was delicious. The flavors were perfectly matched. Staff was friendly and helpful."

"Really nice small, local grocery. They are like a local whole foods or foxtrot competitor but on a smaller level. They offer alot of trendy food items like high hydrogen water, lavendar popcorn (which was good), and much more. They also have a coffee bar and fresh food bar. I bought the chickpea chorizo which was super delicious but so small for the price. I wish they gave like a couple pieces of bread or toast or something. The bowl came with potato chunks, chickpea chorizo pieces (so flavorful), corn, the world's smallest egg, and arugula, and spices. So so good. Service was excellent too. And they gave dining space inside and out as well as plugs and wifi. Highly highly recommend!"

"This place was so so good. Came for a weekend event and stopped here Friday, Saturday and Sunday the food was so good. Each time, we tried something new on the menu, drinks included. Highly recommend it and will most certainly come back Even though it is very out of the way from where I live. My one regret is not taking a picture of my food each day I went to post on here, but at least I got one."
