Love this place...Fabulous fresh vegetables and farm foods....array of prepared foods indoors as well.....the Art works and Jewelery were very unique.....the experience was amazing for a 1st time to Wash DC
Great place to walk around on the weekend to find local made goods, odds and ends, and fresh produce.
Great place to go on an early weekend morning. There are plenty of fresh fruits, breads, natural juices an soaps, jewelry an more
Always a great place to go on the weekends. Bring your dog, bring your kids, grab a coffee from one of the neighboring coffee shops and get your self a Danish front the bakery and enjoy.
Great place to get really good food. We went very early on a Saturday morning and didn't have to compete with the crowd. Got some of the best cheese I've ever had here. They also have a little indoor food place that we ordered breakfast at and it was amazing. Just be aware that some of the places only take cash.
Easten Market is terribly crowded on weekends, but usually worth a visit anyway if you're in the area. Lots of vendor stalls to check out and be sure to try the Market Breakfast/Lunch. The breakfast sandwich there, "The Brick", is fantastic and surprisingly affordable. Also you can take a stroll around and just people watch (or dog watch, given the great number of adorable puppies you're likely to see exploring the outdoor market as well).
Great place to spend a couple hours for unique shopping items and a few food vendors. I love getting my fresh roasted coffee beans for the week here.
Came here for a charity event at night. Great small venue.
Loved this Market, Michelle knows where to go. That's my sister
Honestly I was expecting more with all the good reviews and recommendation from TripAdvisor. If I were local here I would appreciate the market more with fresh butcher shops and veggie/fruit stands. Market Lunch has breakfast until 11am on weekdays and wanted to try their famous pancakes. Their lunch looked good but we didn't get to try.
We got fresh produce. Loved the fresh meat and stuff. Seriously good.
A fun find. Your basic farmers market, but in a cute, historic building. Had crab cakes at the cafe... pretty authentic.
Love this place! It's certainly different during the times of COVID with less vendors, but we still had a great time and hope it's able to regain itself.
If you are Black they are very predigest. The customer service is the absolute worst. They are blatant with it. If you don't know how to handle that type of behavior without getting like them, please stay away from eastern market.
Not much out yet. Wait a few more weeks for more vendors.
Took my dog to vet good service, friendly ,,ex. Docs.
Love to stop by to get some quick groceries or hot breakfast and lunch.
Amazing hidden gem (not necessarily hidden but I had never come across it). It definitely peaked my interest with an array of fresh foods, pastries, plants, art and eateries inside.
Exterior is a wonderful mix of different stalls, and the interior is filled with stalls of yummy baked goods, a deli, and fresh meat.
The flea market was awesome and full of local made goods. The covered market was really cool but mostly good for buying uncooked foods you want to prepare yourself later. There was one food vendor in the covered market but multiple outside at the flea market.
I have been a long time patron of Eastern Market it is the perfect place to purchase fresh produce, meats as well as a hot sandwich or fresh baked goods
Old world charm and a huge selection of fresh meat products, way more lovely than supermarkets.
Great market! I ve only been on Saturday. They have all kinds if produce and artisanal wares from baked goods (Ravenhook Bakehouse) to olive oil and juices a d jams. there are even roasted nut vendors! start the market with a cup of coffee and then meander in down the line. Don t forget to buy bread! RavenHook is the sh!t!!!
What a fun and interesting place! A great way to spend a weekend!
Loved it. Go find Kathleen at Kiwi Exquisite! Silk, jewelry, cashmere ...from all over the world. A bit of history throughout. Great for gift giving. My first time I will be going back often.
The market itself is good but the flea market on the weekends are getting dry
My brother and I had so much fun wandering the Eastern Market on a cold Fall morning. There is a huge variety of things to shop for including art, textiles, hats, toys, jewelry, and an abundance of great produce, meats/fish, other foods and fresh flowers in the market hall. We enjoyed lunch from the vendors outside. I had an amazing shrimp and grits meal, and my brother had equally good Mexican food. Not to be missed!
Lively marketplace with lots of high quality produce, meat, fish, and the rest. Pricier than a chain grocery store but you get what you pay for!
Didn't buy a thing, but friends make anything special.
Picked up a lovely venison tenderlin for Christmas Eve as well as some outstanding mushroomr raviolis. Will definitely go back.
This is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast in DC. The food is great and the community seating always allows me to meet new people. Definitely try the rock fish, crab cakes, pancakes, or my favorite is the jalapeno spicy grits.
Great place to get simple ingredients to cook delicious food. Fish counter, butchers, poultry, flowers, two vegetable markets, an Italian market with fresh pasta, a deli counter and a bakery. Outside, they host a flea market and a farmers markets on the weekend and sometimes during the week, and while those are great for variety there's no need to wait for them.
People ask me all the time where do I get my pants. There is a dude that I get the most comfortable pants ever from. He's part of the eastern market flea market every weekend. I'd post a picture but I dont want you to bite my style.
The friendly vendors, fresh food & unique local finds!
Love the deli inside! As always, the fresh apple stand is our first stop.
Nice place to get some flowers and some good cheese!
The capital book store is very cool! And the Chinese dumplings we got inside the market were yummy.
Fantastic place to shop for delicious items for dinner. Chicken, eggs, and meat are especially tasty.
Wish I had resources to keep going. Overwhelmed by many Choices,availability wonderful produce more at a better price. Art many things you want for yourself are home. Cooking show by a famous Chef and his own cook books by famous Chef.And much more in That area. Restaurants, game stores
We bought fresh fish at Southern Maryland seafood, $70.oo worth and all 3 items were very fresh. We bought a multi fruit pie and garlic bread also excellent! We went back today and bought vegetables and rib steaks! Can't wait to grill them! They looked great!
Pros: Crabcake sandwich is AWESOME! Prices are reasonable.
Cons: The hours suck...only open till 2:30pm. Staff not friendly at all, yet there s a Tip jar! smh lol
I love Eastern Market, I work near there, so I'm in there all the time, especially when the farmers market (Amish)is there every Tuesday with fresh seasonal fruits' veggies & baked goods...
Amazing place to go.. lots of fresh food, unique international foods and pastries, and amazing local made stuff.. it s fun to just look around but I d suggest bringing your wallet and some cash too.
Too pricey
But fresh.
What a lovely place. Came here Saturday morning, spent around 2 hours. Had my breakfast and coffee here. Took some photos.
At the end of the market there are some small food corners who sell smoothies, donuts, coffee, berbq meats with authentic african spice, and lots of other thing. Try them.
A great place to find vendors to sell anything to everything. You have to be here to understand the rythym and sound of Eastern Market. Farmers outside and in side the market selling fresh and desirable goods to complete a great meal. Meat, fish, cheese, baked goods, fruits, vegetables; flowers to place on a table or give to a love one is sold right here!!!! Beautiful clothing, handbags, hats, African art and goods, etc. Meet with new artist and interesting people and get a glimpse of what's going on in Washington, D.C.. When I tell you it's a wonderful place to visit and feel the vibe, you get the feel of what this market has to offer. The market is open M-F, but the real experience is on the weekends.
I love the outdoor vendors. Cool art, funky imports. And the people watching is great. This place is authentic DC.
In town on business and found this place while geocaching waiting for the time to head to the airport. I wish I had found this place four days ago. It is really cool!
The vendors here are hit or miss. The indoor produce has never impressed me, but the outdoor ones can have some good items - though I don't think its worth the trip, particularly with as parking unfriendly as the area is. The farmers market at Dupont is considerably better.
Pretty good assortment of food. I especially love the sweets area and the section with the different salads. Those are my favs!! I'm a native, so I go here a lot. The people ate very friendly.
Eastern Market is a great place, to visit and an experience. Good, fresh local products. I've worked and shop here at the market since 1983.
All the vendors, inside and out are great people. I've been going there for decades. My great grandmother would do her shopping there.
It was the Saturday Flea Market and it was so wonderful and exciting to be in the middle of all that gorgeousness.
Been coming here for over 25 years. A wonderful touch of old style, friendly service just blocks from the Capitol. Great quality. Lots of locally-sourced goods.
I visited this little flea market for the first time.
it was nice and in a good location but the subway.
most of the things they were selling were above flea market prices. it was rich people taste kind of thing mostly.
1 small table with seat the guy asked me $3000. i laughed i thought he was joking and he just walked away like i was being a bother to him...
but they do have some things tho, the painting was great even though the artist insisted that i do not take a picture of his arts. but oh well!
Lovely place/market to get close to local taste and feed your body. A morning walk through the local artisan feed your soul. LOVE IT!.
An open air market with little interesting to offer.
Eastern Market is a place where their is a variety of activities going on diverse group of people and different cultural backgrounds you can find all type of indoor and outdoor eateries different stores to shop it's a lovely area.
Historic market with fantastic food, merchandise, and meats (especially Canale's). Add a fantastic salad and fresh vegetables and your shopping is delightful as well as complete.
The venerable Eastern Market stands the test of time. Vendors are friendly and helpful, their wares are of superior quality, and the prices are surprisingly good. Visit on the weekend if you can, when there are expanded offerings. During the week, if you just need delicious fruit or excellent meat, they've got you covered.
Such a great spot!! Great venders outside selling handmade items, fresh produce and things! We had some amazing banana bread, apple bread and Sweat Potato Bread!! Inside there are fresh cuts of meats, sea food and all sorts of things! We also had some Philippine food and Mexican!! YUM
Great place with a wide variety of things to choose from... was shopping specifically for African art and purchased a couple nice pieces for a very good price from the vendor. The indoor market had all types of meats, cheeses, desserts, e.t.c. that were fresh, with comparable pricing... loved it and the experience!!
Beautiful market in the heart of the city. Charm.and locally sourced
I like this market but no where to park!! But It has great meats! And I love the restaurant inside! The crafters and those who sell veggies are too expensive though.
Most beautiful experience in a long time, fresh fish fresh cuts of meat bacon eggs just about everything you want really fresh
I love spending a few hours here on the weekends when the market is open. Great atmosphere.
First time going and ready to go back. The experience was just amazing. Fresh food, great atmosphere! A must experience at least once if you live in the DMV.
Awesome and cute! Lots of vendors of things from jewelry and art to olive oil and apples! Lots of different, delicious brunch places along the street, so you can put your name down for a table and walk around and shop while you wait!
Great old-school indoor market with meat, fruit, cheese, pasta stalls and farmers market outdoors as well.
Indoor/outdoor market with great food, both ready to eat and fresh ingredients to take home
Visiting Eastern Market is always a great experience. Flee market is amazing, people watch, dogs everywhere, so many food options.
A must in the DC area easy to get to by metro or the circulator bus
The inside is quite small for a market, though there is a solid overall meat selection and a nice cheese shop. The farmers' market on the weekend, in my opinion gets far too mobbed with people, and it has a lot of arts, etc in addition to produce.
Great place for Natives and Tourists so many things to do.
Eastern market is a good place to shop for different varieties of foods, many vendors on Saturday and Sunday's. Adjacent to other stores and beautiful homes. A great family area.
Nice outside place to go shopping for vegetables and fruit
There is so much to see at this market. Fresh produce, scarfs, art work and jewelry. And all these sights are surrounded by good cafes and restaurants. Its a pleasant walk.
I'm at tunnicliffs having brunch the best place to be at on Sundays
