Union Kitchen 9th — Restaurant in Washington

Absolutely stunned by this place. I have never been treated with such disrespect. The woman at the register was extremely rude towards the three of us. The chef was rude as well. I ordered a hot cocoa and it was all foam! I went to the register and explained to her that my hot cocoa was all foam. Immediately she got defensive and the chef stepped in and was rude. I was ganged up on by 2 employees for asking a questions about their hot cocoa. The chef said make a new one for her and then the woman at the register said no and completely ignored me. I walked away pissed. I sat down and a few minutes later there was a new hot cocoa. I refused it, because I will not accept anything from a place that is so rude. I highly recommend anyone to NOT go here. Yes the owner tried to make it better, but she did not have her employees apologize. As a visitor of this area, this is the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I will be happily reporting this to Zagat, Google and all other...

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...
