Columbia Heights Farmers Market

Forget Starbucks, Qualia sells excellent hot ($2) and iced coffee ($3) every Saturday, right next to their bags of beans. :)

Try the Spriggs Delight Farm goat cheeses - not just the traditional herb/garlic. How 'bout pineapple/jalapeño or cranberry/nut? The goat milk fudge is AWESOME too!

The goat cheese guy in the back corner near Park Road has incredible stuff.

Drop off your compost every Saturday 9am - 1pm April 3 to December 18. Also open 10am - 1pm January to March.

Great selection of seasonal produce fresh from local farms and favorites

My husband and I enjoy the chocolate almond croissants from Bonaparte + the people watching . A welcome addition to the neighborhood .

Get there early before the baker runs out of jalapeño cheddar bread .

Almost any of the meats from Stachowski Brand Charcuterie are simply fantastic; go early they sell stuff quickly Read more

Great place to hangout. People watching = A+

Watermelon Cantaloupe flavor by Pleasant Pops is AWESOME!

Go to the French bakery table. You won't be disappointed by anything.

I waited patiently for 10 min while Bonaparte served everyone BUT me; had it not been for a kind NYer who refused to buy something until I had been helped, I'd never have gotten my mediocre croissant .

Don't even think about parking illegally for "five minutes" as you run in...guaranteed ticket. I deserve that. Last cherries of the season cost me $57.50. Walk. Metro. DO NOT DRIVE. Be Ye not like me.

Get there early the place gets crowded early Read more

Try the lemon opal basil gelato @ dolzzeta. So refreshing.

They have beautiful sunflower bouquets for $7.00

Lleguen temprano, los tamales de mole se terminan rápido
