I have mentioned before that Union Market DC is a must visit. Since our first time we have been back for coffee, a drive-in movie, dinner, lunch, and dessert. This market has everything in a fun/up-scale-ish venue.
Red Apron Butcher is a new-ish local chain that first opened at Union Market in January of 2013 and then opened at Mosaic in Merrifield/Dunn Loring in March, and will soon be followed with a spot at D St NW. They are known for their antibiotics or hormones free meat, but what I have come to love them for is their sandwich menu. Their beef and cheddar with beer cheese whiz on a Brioche bun beats an Arby’s roast beef out of the park any day.
If you are looking for a spot to grab a Saturday morning coffee and people watch, Peregrine Espresso is the spot to do it. I loved my beautiful mocha.
I had walked by Neopol Savory Smokery and actually once stopped the foot-traffic flow on accident because I was distracted by the delicious sandwiches being created. On a Sunday late-morning I decided I was not going to visit Union Market one more time without trying something from Neopol.
I ordered the smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers, red onion, and tomato on a whole wheat everything bagel. It was huge and delicious!! I want one right now.
I had heard about Trickling Springs Creamery but had never actually been by one of their retail locations, so I was excited to see they were a venue at Union Market. Trickling Springs is a local producer of organic and all-natural ice cream, milk, butter, and cheese located in Chambersburg, PA. I ordered the cookies and cream and felt just like a little kid as I enjoyed it.
So basically if you haven’t been to Union Market, it is certainly worth a visit!!
