Broad Branch Market

Frequent this place because it’s next to my kids school — nice selection of wine in the back.
Some of the consumables are expensive (baby food pouches cost twice what they would cost at a grocery store) but you are paying for convenience I guess. A quick place to grab a bagel and coffee in the morning, and there are some seats outside.

Our neighborhood market! A great market to run to if you are not inclined to run to Safeway nearby or down to Whole Foods Market in Friendship Heights. Whenever I run out of something I needed for my cooking, I will just walk up to Broad Branch Market and I will always find what I needed. Management is great and the cashiers are so nice and friendly… I was there one day and I was a nickel short… would you believe the young girl covered up for my shortage! As far as prices are concerned… I believe it is comparable to what I will pay the grocery. I cannot agree or disagree with Justin K for the «overpriced» prepared-​meal collection as I have never needed to buy prepared meals.
Broad Branch Market is a great addition to the neighborhood. They have everything. it is a «mini grocery the neighborhood appreciates.
By they way, it is a family gathering place on weekends with outdoor tables and sitting place
to sip coffee or tea and enjoy some of the market’s goodies!

Great market. Best and the freshest food ingredients. They have really good sandwiches and pastries. I actually worked there for a couple of months. It’s a great place is all I can say.

I stumbled across this happy little market when working at the elementary school! Got the gazpacho and picked up some Zeke’s coffee. What a great neighborhood market!

This place is awesome, great food, great atmosphere, and a great sense of community. I love Broad Branch Market

Excellent pepared-​meal selection. Was a great resource while working at the elementary school last week. The staff is sweet and the outdoor seating is perfect.
Highly recommended with the caveat that it is slightly overpriced.

Everything is good but be sure to try the Coexist Coffee and the Coexist Cold Brew — not to be missed!

What a great for this neighborhood! Once you get in, you can’t miss all the prepared foods they have ready for the day — desserts, an array of salads, cold and hot offerings, butchered meat, and fish. They also make sandwiches on the spot. I recommend the Reuben or pastrami. As you move further into the market you get your market staples — peanut butter, chips, canned goods, etc. They also have plenty of beer and wine options. If you’re a fan of great beer they have three taps where you can get your growler filled! Next door they have sweets and ice cream. Plenty of options for folks. Love this place!

This is a great little market. They serve up everything from cold brewed iced coffee to their delicious deli selections. They also have some very fine pizza. And definitely check out the beer selection in the back and the fresh bread section in the front.

Broadbranch market is like a place out of time. It’s really the heart of our neighborhood. Not only do they have an amazing selection of ready made and specialty foods but they have household staples too! Plus the and ice cream bar and candy counter that my daughter still loves. The staff is also super friendly. Love having this place within walking distance!

I love this little market! I frequently visit the school across the street for work and stop in during the morning to grab a coffee, or after school for a pick me up! They have fresh coffee and pastries daily, along with fresh salads, veggies, fruits, sandwiches, hot food items, meats and seafood. They also offered hand scooped ice cream and bulk candies. In addition to food, they sell wine in the back and have a variety of common kitchen and household items in case you need to grab something and don’t have time to do a big grocery run. It’s hard to stay away after a long day at school!

So as I was strrrrraavvvvvviinnnngg and needed some food in me, I used the monocle on Unilocal and up popped this store! As I read some fellow Unilocalers and went in for the sandwich special! So when I saw Reuben on the menu I had to get it! The sandwich itself is pretty blah. The meat was decent, the bread was toasted and sauerkraut not as tangy as I would like, I am also pretty sure they used store brought thousand island dressing. In my opinion I probably should of ate the sandwich right away when they gave it to me hot… oh well lesson learned

Great sandwiches for lunch. Always well thought out specials and great bread. Every yuppified, whole Food shopping, LuLuLemon wearing, afluenza suffering crunchy, NPR listening granola head wishes they lived a few blocks from a BBM type place – even if it was only to complain about their patrons Tesla blocking their driveway.
There is no denying that BBM has great food. You are going to pay for it, but it will seldom disappoint. If I lived nearby, it would be tempting to serve something from their prepared foods a few times a week. Everything in there looks and smells great.
The staff is friendly and although I have never asked, I bet they would do or make anything you needed. The place has that kind of vibe.
Their bread is amazingly good. If your inclined to have fresh bread with every meal, a stop at BBM would be well worth your time.

This place’s picture should be next to the definition of one-​stop-​shop. Booze, ice cream, fine meats and breads, toilet paper, hot sauce, everything is here! And, to top it off, it’s all quality stuff. This isn’t you’re corner store bodega, no, it’s like a mini-​wegmans or mini-​wholefoods minus the weird hippie smell. I stopped in this place while at work because some wires were down after a storm in upper NW and we all hung out with the staff while waiting for PEPCO. Super nice staff, all the neighbors love the place, and so did we. My firehouse is across the park in Brightwood but we make the trip over from time-​to-​time for ice cream or other treats. I’m happy this place exists, it’s a great example of a neighborhood staple and lends something to the area that could not be exist in any other form.

I used them to cater a surprise birthday party recently and found their recommendations on quantities to be spot on. The food (including dinner for 40) was fantastic… poached salmon with dill sauce and beef fillet with chimichurri sauce. Fantastic. As if that wasn’t enough, the servers they arranged were super attentive and stayed late into the night to do clean up. Their prices are high but not out of line with the competition serving this community. I will definitely use them again

Broad Branch Market really has everything you’d want in a neighborhood market. And, if you don’t have the kind of money to do your regular produce shopping here (as a recent grad, I certainly don’t), you should definitely make it over for lunch.
Best prepared food I’ve had there is the turkey sandwich with prosciutto, gouda, arugula (once this was substituted with broccoli rabe, just as tasty if not more), and some kind of rich orange marmalade (?) on fresh ciabatta. Easily one of my favorite sandwiches in DC– it’s tough to make a turkey sandwich dynamically flavorful, but BBM does it.
Their banh mi sandwich was good too, but didn’t wow me like the turkey sammie. Worth a try if you like banh mis, but IMHO, it tasted like a deli trying its hand at banh mi instead of just delicious banh mi (see El Floridano’s for comparison). They also have a ruben and an «Industrial» italian hoagie and will make sandwiches to order.
Other awesomeness: chicken tenders (moist, chunky white meat w/​seasoned breading); the extensive candy and ice cream selection that has its own room; wine and beer; really nice and friendly folks.
I’ve also tried the mac n’ cheese ($ 6.79/lb) and greek salad ($ 6.99/lb): fine but not memorable enough to pay the price again (both a bit bland). The sandwiches, however, are reasonably priced at around $ 8 – 9 and an exceptional value considering the quality of ingredients they use.
One thing I’d really love to see are more sandwich creations on the menu– it seems limited to 4 and doesn’t fluctuate much (or at all?). It’s nice that we can create our own, but given the success of the ingredient combo on the turkey sandwich, I’d love to see what else the BBM folks can come up with.

This is the heart and soul of the neighborhood!
The Broad Branch Market has been a neighborhood fixture for eons, and now with the newly renovated building and new owners, they have keyed into the upscale urban customer that lives in this neighborhood with all the right ingredients.
Kids, they love kids, it is across from a school and they cater to families with young kids.
Dad’s, they love Dad’s, they have a nice selection of wine and beer, and pre-​made food that makes any Dad into a SuperPop!
Dogs, they love dogs, water bowls and treats and a place to tie the pup up outside while you shop.
Mom’s they must love mom’s because they make so many pre-​made items, mom can take them home, pop them in the oven, and it looks like she is a gourmet chef who lives to make good food.
Items that I like the best are the fresh made baguettes, wonderful cheese’s and the Café Xinca coffee. always worth a stop there for those items.
They make sandwiches there too, so if you are on the run, stop in and have them make you one! And then just sit out on one of the picnic bench’s out front and relax and watch the neighborhood bound by.
Prices are not cheap, but you get your money’s worth in quality here.
Check in on the social media sites like Foursquare, Unilocal and Shopkick, they are hip and up on those and often have special discounts, deals or specials listed there!
Saturday morning the Lafayette Farmer’s Market is on across the street, a perfect compliment to this market.

Broad Branch Market is a neighborhood gem. I do not live in this area, but I work a few blocks over on Connecticut Avenue and I make it a point to walk over once in awhile and grab a bite to eat for lunch. There is a variety of items to choose and the employees are a delight.

Besides being a staple in our family’s household I personally used Broad Branch Market to cater a party for me. The food was over the top. Every guest went out of their way to comment on the food, which was finger licking good. Thanks John and Tracy. You guys rule! BTW, when Jodi pickes dinner up on the way home from you guys we all know dinner is going to be awesome and it always is.

This is a great Chevy Chase, DC neighborhood store. It is smack dab in the middle of a very tight-​knit community — kitty corner from Lafayette Elementary School. It offers a select variety of high end cheeses and other accompaniments like olives, bake goods and fancy fig jams as well as a small grocery section selling staples in a back room, ice cream in another room and a take-​out deli in the main room.
Their tomato soup is excellent. My friend bought their macaroni and cheese which was not neon orange like you may be used to. They also sell a bottled juice called Tizane. It is made by a local neighborhood Chevy Chase couple and it is 100% Organic. I liked the jasmine flavor. They have lemongrass and hibiscus flavors too. Chevy Chase is so lucky to have this neighborhood store. Yes, prices are high, but if you live in Chevy Chase, DC then the prices shouldn’t phase you one bit.
