"What a find! I will be back. Great selection and prices. I went in for just an iced coffee and left with pesto, pasta, Italian spice mix and wine. The coffee was delicious, the staff sweet as can be and the range of products and great prices is nothing short of mindblowing particularly in the small space. This isn't a giant grocery store by the way. Has a very cozy neighborhood feel. Even the other patrons are friendly- you get the feeling they are regulars. Well worth the drive in from counties outside of the city."

"As always the drinks are great. Beautiful and tasty! And the holiday decor can’t be beat. Whenever I get food beyond a board, though, I’m reminded why we don’t usually get food. I will say the toasts are also amazing — the pumpkin one was the best food we tried. We also got the potatoes this time and for 16 dollars and based on the description which contains the word “smashed,” expected pan-seared, crispy, smashed potatoes. We got whole, soft fingerling potatoes with aioli. Just not at all as described and highly overpriced. The rueben was also only okay and for 19 bucks could come with something besides chips. Still love DC but my tip is to sit at the bar and stick to drinks, snacks and boards."

"Highly recommend Sweet Peaz Southern Kitchen! The food is served fresh and hot. We were a party of eight and ordered Fried Whiting with Yams and Mac n Cheese, Chicken and Waffles, Fried Chicken Wings, Chicken Tenders, Fried Shrimp, French Fries, and Collard Greens. The Sweet Potato Waffles were absolutely delicious! The fried chicken, shrimp, and fish were cooked perfectly and tasted as good as they looked. The seasoning was just right—not too salty, allowing the flavors to shine. The yams and collards were a real treat for the taste buds. And the cornbread? Simply amazing. My only disappointment was that the first taste was free (haha). The Mac n Cheese was decent, but the Chicken Tenders didn’t quite live up to their name; however, they did remake them for us to take home. The space is small and simple, with old-school music that adds to the enjoyable dining experience. They limit dining to one hour to ensure everyone can enjoy the food, which I appreciate—I dislike when people linger for too long when others are waiting. The staff were friendly, making us feel valued and appreciated. Prices are reasonable. One downside was that many items were unavailable, including grits—which was a big letdown since I was looking forward to the famous Shrimp and Grits—as well as butter, potato salad, seafood salad, and tartar sauce. I recommend calling ahead if you’re craving a specific dish. Despite this, it was a great dining choice and lived up to the positive reviews. Overall, we left satisfied and would gladly return. Parking is street parking only, as there’s no dedicated lot."

"This little gem is located inside the broadway market. The staff is friendly and attentive. There is limited seating at the countertop but common tables for all market customers are scattered throughout. The market itself is ALL the vibes. The wafflesand chicken were lovely. My husband got the blueberry and I Opted for plain. I got the peach tea half and half and my husbandgot the lemonade. Enjoyed this lovely treat for breakfast while visiting the city. Only thing we both said was, we hoped thewaffle would be a tad more flavorful. Otherwise, it was great!"

"Possibly one of the best bakeries in the entire country? Forget crab cakes; when you’re in Baltimore, you must visit Café Dear Leon, like how a foodie trip to SF is not complete without Tartine.I was struck by how much better CDL is than even the top bakeries in NYC. They’ve mastered the art of the laminated dough—croissants, kouign amanns, danishes, quiches. Also, their scones are the best I’ve ever had.CDL releases baked goods on a strict schedule. Check their website. Once an item has sold out for the day, that’s it. The most popular items are completely gone in less than an hour on a weekend. During the colder months, CDL doesn’t have any seating as they need the space to keep guests warm while queueing.The pastries do retain their crispness throughout the day, but obviously they’re much better when fresh out of the oven.I’ll be haunted by the fact that I can’t just hop over to CDL whenever I have a craving for pastries."
