Salt & Sundry — Local services in Washington

A must-stop gem for home lovers, creatives, and anyone who appreciates good vibes and great design.

Salt & Sundry is visual eye candy meets lifestyle treasure trove. The 14th Street location is just as vibrant and inviting as the one at Union Market—full of color, texture, and charm. Every corner is curated to inspire: from dreamy candles and quirky coasters to cookbooks you’ll actually want to use (or gift), and beautifully designed tableware that turns your everyday into something special.

What I like most is that this is a woman-owned brand that’s been around for a long time. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to help. The whole space feels like stepping into a well-traveled friend’s living room—stylish, approachable, and filled with personality.

It’s perfect for creative gifting, elevating your home vibe, or simply getting lost in aesthetic joy for a few minutes. Whether you’re a design-lover, foodie, or collector of good energy, Salt & Sundry delivers.

Pro tip: Don’t leave without checking their scent section—candles, mists, and oils that are seriously addictive. And yes, the cookbook selection is top-tier.

A true Do See Taste–approved spot that makes you feel like you just discovered something special. Highly recommend adding this to your DC...

Salt and Sundry is becoming one of DC's most beloved stores. With several locations across town, this one is located in the U Street District. It's a larger one room shop with any item a modern yuppie/hipster would want from cheeky greeting cards to craft cocktail syrups to modern cookbooks. A few things to note:

2. They sell a wide range of Swell water bottles in all different sizes and colors.

3. If you're looking to buy a gift for a friend who likes to mix drinks, come here. They have fancy glasses to cocktail books to stirrers.

The prices are a tad expensive, but definitely worth a visit to...

Little pretentious and pricey. Staff slightly aloof but seemed inexperienced in retail so might have been the day. Bought some nice home good here but could find similar products elsewhere for less.
