This is an awesome place to find unique things in the district. There is everything from food to custom art, and handmade soaps. If you are looking a cool place to take a date and discover Washington DC. This is the place to do it. dont miss the opportunity if your visiting to check out the market. You'll definitely find something better than the museums.
Love Love Love Eastern Market & the outdoor Vendor Market, especially!
Love coming out to the Market om Sundays. Food vendors, fresh produce and goods, and awesome vendors make this a perfect Sunday afternoon outing.
Their meats, fruits and vegetables are always fresh.
Was invited by a colleague great conversation and lunch.
Great selection of local food products. Slightly pricey, but worth it.
Had some tasty cherries and they had totally legit oyster mushrooms.
Great place. Fresh food and very pleasant atmosphere. Fresh Tuesday
Farmers bring their fruits and veggies
Great place to visit and get some food to eat there as well as to take home
One of my favorite places in the city. A combination farmers market and open-air flea market, it is a great place to pick up supplies for Sunday dinner and an artistic addition to your apartment all while enjoying great people watching. Great for a date or just a chill weekend with friends.
I love going here. A perfect place to stroll around and get some fresh produce.
My first time visit, the establishment is very clean and staff at the poultry stall provided good customer service. Great job!!
A fascinating spot in busy DC, you'll appreciate the "farmer's market" feel of this special place. An outdoor space houses booths selling a variety of fruit, vegetable, and wares. An indoor space features multiple meat, deli, and baked goods counters and a space for other vendors, too. The prices are not cheap, but they're not awful either.
Definitely great if you re looking for some fresh produce or meats. We ended up getting breakfast at the little diner like place and our food was delicious! It was a little bit crowded but definitely worth a visit to shop around the vendors.
Its diverse and vibrant culture you can meet with different people races from different countries, authentic foods, clothes and fresh vegetables and fruits
Love this place. Various vendors with many interesting artifacts. Food at market is good and street is filled with lots of fresh vegetables, fruits and flowers. Plus, there are many restaurants along the sides of the road where open market is going on. Enjoyed the random musicians playing different instruments as well.
I like markets and this one is nice. Quaint one block market with fresh meats and good food.
Love eastern markets farmers market! Street shuts down on Sundays and you can explore many different stands. Inside the market has vendors that are typically the same all the time. Outside there is food, artists, music, and coffee stands! Definitely should check it out
Great selection of meat and produce, also local goods
A little hidden jewel if you're looking for fresh produce in DC. We spent a couple of days in the capital visiting and didn't know about this place. We were pleasantly surprised for their variety and freshness.
Fun for a market. (Had higher hopes, but it was cold out).
The best place in town to spent weekend mornings. Great (but often to expensive) fruits and vegetables (with lots of samples available:). I would recommend cheese store inside of the market as they have amazing diversity of cheeses from around the world and they have patience to explain differences to you and gave you some samples. While you are there do not miss to check Capitol Hill books bookstore at C street.
I mostly go to the Eastern Market to buy different kinds of cheeses. Love the French Feta! They also have beautiful displays of local crafts that are a must see for people visiting DC.
Friendly. Fresh food. Now there are socially distancing, too, due to the. 2020 pandemic
On winter weekdays everything is indoors and you can only buy food here. But it's great food -- fabulous cheese, great butchers, fresh fish, great-looking bakery, vegetables, and a cafe. When we were there, there was a long line of strollers waiting for a kids' event in an adjoining space.
I crossed town from silver spring on the metro just to visit this place.
If you are not a foodie you may not get the fuss. The market is mainly indoors with a number of stalls outdoors.
Some craft stalls, some vintage clothes, fruit and veg but mainly food. Good quality food. Lovely meat, bread, cakes, fish, cheese, prepared pasta. Really good quality food. Spent a morning talking to the stall holders and trying various things.
Would definitely go back.
The Spring event was super fun! The food is great and diverse, and there are so many neat finds.
Nice place to stroll through and see what the 2 1/2 blocks of vendors are selling. Be sure to step inside the building to see the rest of the market. Also, that's where the bathroom is which is scarce in this part of the city. Barracks Row is another leg away to stroll up and down. Plenty of food choices between Eastern Market and Barracks Row, as well as a place to sip a beer or coffee outside and people watch. Eastern Market is its own stop on metro's blue, silver, and orange line.
The crab cakes here are the best in the country, hands down.
Overall decent experience. Lots of different vendors and decent selection of food. There was one guy selling some amazing paella outside. I would come back here just for the paella, not so much for the other aspects of the market.
Of course the day I went it was scorching hot lol but it was still nice place lots of vendors friendly somewhere a little pricey but I don't know love the fruit vendors samples out for you to try
This place has really changed! There are a lot of new buildings and businesses in the area. I did not get a chance to go inside the market to see what was inside, but I will be going back.
One thing I don't like about this area is the sidewalks. The sidewalk is made of bricks that are loose, uneven, or missing. I always seems to lose my balance when walking in this area of town.
But despite the sidewalks, the area looks good!
There is a new apartment building for active adults, Trader Joe, and some eateries. I love Trader Joe!
Fresh but expensive. Not the right place to buy anything if you are on a budget.
Both the indoor market and the farmers market are great places to but all your fresh products from fruit to veggies to the butchers to the bakery
This place has everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to dresses African Arts, Jewelry, free books, everything under the sun! Eastern Market has so many different restaurants and brunch places and coffee places that you could pretty much have your pick of different cuisines by just walking across the street. This really is a treasure and everyone should try and visit at least five times!
Used to have more second hand stuff & was more interesting. Still fun to walk around.
Come every weekend when we re in town. Something for everyone here! Lots of food options and the outside market is dog friendly.
I always love to visit Eastern Market and enjoy the unique crafts offered by the various vendors, along with live music, fresh produce, and tasty fresh food options. There are also plentiful surrounding shops and restaurants as well. You'll definitely find something you love! Parking can be scarce so Metro access is highly recommended.
Great place to visit and find lunch, coffee or books. Casual and local. Good place to stroll.
If you are anywhere near here on Saturdays or Sundays then you should make it a point to come to the market. Tons of vendors each with unique items. From art to bread to dog collars to floral arrangements and even meat, the market is such a staple for Capitol Hill.
Always our favorite alone time together for breakfast
Tasty food, friendly local vendors, and eclectic art...what more could you ask for?
Great place to get a fresh fish sandwich, or anything else. I wish this was in my home town.
I was surprised that they didn't have Turkey bacon or Turkey chops
Get the blueberry buckwheat pancakes, and the spicy pickles.
One of my favorite places to go on a weekend in dc! Everything from a farmers market to local artisans. All the shops along it are open! Great market and worth the trip!
If you have never been then you must go
My wife and I come often. A great way to get out of the house and do some shopping
We go on Sunday because it is free parking.
Always a delight from the bakery to the fish breakfast and everything in between
Had a great sandwich at the shop inside with rockfish and it is beautiful with a Sunday flea market
Going to Eastern Market on Saturday/Sunday morning is a great way to start the day. My go to breakfast is the El Piquin breakfast burrito. Adding a limaide to that makes for a tasty meal. There are some many little stands to shop around too.
I love these outdoor/ indoor fresh fare markets, right from my Germany days, you browse sampling this that before buying some fresh food to be gobbled right there,so go with hungry tummy and enjoy.
Went to go pick up some flowers, quench my thirst and grab a bite to eat. Too freakin hot today!
The market is an icon in the city. There is an excellent mix of vendors. Looking for something special to cook... check this place out.
Excellent neighborhood market...been around for decades...excellent meats, produce, very ckean environment, not open on Mondays.
so nice local food. was not hard to park in the weekend.
Nice setting to see everyone out supporting the people. Reminds me of my Saturday morning walk through small Germany town back in the day.
Celebrated 25 th anniversary. Stopping g buy to buy cheese, salami, bread, drinks and fruit to have a picnic. Everything other than wine cause we dont drink was available for a super nice picnic!! Higly recommended this market!!
It s a beautiful and historic building. Good place to get authentic American breakfast with locals.
This is a great place to visit to find unique items, such as; clothes, jewelry, soaps, paintings, vegetables, fruits, and so on! The little Tibet Boutique have great clothing items that are reasonably priced! Check it out! Get there early!!!
Great place to people watch and see a side that is not widly known to DC. Clean and very well organized but a sense of rural culture in it as well.
Fresh flowers and fresh fruit and the pancakes from that breakfast spot on the end is the best.
Very small and poor offer of products. Anyway, the neighborhood is nice.
In November, it was OK. A small market with only a small collection of food shops inside and some art and clothing and jewelry booths along the street outside.
I can shop for groceries, household, jewelry, supplies, clothes and luggage in under I roof top.
Love the freshness of the foods and the cleanliness of the store.
My favorite farmers market and butchery. The crafts, artwork and jewelry by the vendors is beautiful. Great brunch spot as well!
Very nice, fresh food, sea food counter. Good service. Metro is across the street. You have to pay for parking . They even have a flower stan very sweet.
Lots of vendors, great coffee stand on the way in both times I've been there, local and international artists/goods. Sopa food truck is excellent.
Eastern market is a weekend tradition. Get up, run the mall, then to eastern market for brunch and produce for the week. Don't forget to grab some fresh crab meat from inside. It is the best in the area, without a doubt.
This best place to shop for meats, fruits and baked goods.....
The best place to get an autentic merchandise from different parts of the world
Greatest market ever! Clean and bright, with a variety of fresh food and cooked ones.
Great little market with a lovely variety in food and other goods. Mainly food market. You can also have a drink in the market itself.
I really like Eastern Market. With all the great restaurants and bars so much better than Georgetown in my opinion..
A fantastic market space with lots of variation and tons of shops! Plan a few hours on the weekend to fully enjoy everything here, and feel free to bring the dog(s) and/or the kids as they'll love it too!
one of the best MARKETS AROUND..GOOD AND FREST...IF U WANT FISH ...GET THERE EARLY....NEEDS MORE FISH
Very interesting place. Lot of things to check out.
I really liked this market, wish I could have been there on a weekend to see more. I was visiting from Colorado.
