7 River Mart

What a cute little store! Came here when I was visiting family in DC, and thought this is the cutest little store. I was not sure if they will have any children thing and they do! I needed to get children ibuprofen and some ingredients I'm missing to make cookies. I didn't expect to find them all here. The staff are so sweet and kind as well. They even gave my kid a free cookie. Will definite come back. Oh and it's pet friendly!! Highly recommended!

I recently moved right by this market and had made a mental note of "oh, I could probably go there to get beer," but hadn't actually stopped in until today. Since we are snowed in, I got it in my head that I wanted to bake some King Cakes, and also wanted to make some easy cornbread to go with chili tonight--and maybe veggies for omelettes tomorrow. This place is amazing! My list was VERY random--bread flour, yeast, powdered sugar, sour cream, lemon, red bell pepper, onion, jalapeño, cornbread mix and beer (duh, it's snowing). They had all of it. I'm seriously floored that a corner store has all that. And all of that (including the Flying Dog beer) was only $28, which I think is quite comparable to what it would have been at Giant or Safeway. The owners were friendly, and he even threw in the jalapeño for free since it looked like it was on its way out. Great addition to the neighborhood with a really good selection. They also sell fresh bread and have a nice little wine and beer selection. If you're in the neighborhood, go check them out.

This is a dream of a corner store & I'm so happy it's in the neighborhood. As others have mentioned, the quality and breadth of products they offer in this tiny store is incredible. If I'm ever missing a last minute ingredient for a recipe, this is my first stop. They have such a great selection and I've come in looking for: 1) fresh fruits & veggies 2) variety of seltzer waters 3) spices including pepper, etc. 4) hummus (not sure where they source it from, but it was delicious) 5) stamps 6) hygiene & first aid 7) ice cream 8) organic milk. In addition to the above, they have bread from Lyon Bakery (my favorite bakery in DC), a wide selection of frozen foods, a decent selection of raw ingredients and snack foods. The other thing I love is that they allow dogs in the store & even have a jar of dog treats to share. I know this store might not look like much from the outside, but give it a chance & go in. You won't be disappointed.

We flew in from Texas to visit and have walked into 7River Mart several times at this point to grab some snacks and drinks. The new owners are very nice and I immediately saw how clean and organized the store was on my initial visit.The store has a good selection of snacks and essential grocery items that is far more convenient to get at 7 River Mart if you are a local.We have been back since our initial visit and we were greeted by one of the new owners with a smile and had great conversations. I highly recommend supporting this local market if you are nearby.

Nice little place. So convenient if you're in the neighborhood. Well stocked with essentials and very friendly staff.

The service has always been horrible and I'd give this place zero star if I could. Earlier today I was looking for cornstarch and I asked "hey do you know where the cornstarch is?" And not only did the guy who's always at the counter yell at me for not putting the other merchandise back EXACTLY the way he wanted, he also scorned at me when I was checking out. He asked "where are your folks from?" I felt racially targeted and told him "China," and he replied "is that how you Chinese people talk to your elders? My name isn't 'hey' and you need to change that." I'm still shaking from how angry I am from that exchange and rest assured I'll likely never be back again even though I live just a block away.

I appreciate this local spot. The have a surprisingly comprehensive assortment of items you might need. Keep up the great work! Thx.

This store is a neighborhood favorite for my family and many neighbors. The owners, Mr. & Mrs. Ko, are so kind and friendly. They keep us going with basic groceries and newspapers. All are welcome including four-legged friends.

I'm lost as to why there are so many positive reviews here. I moved into the neighborhood a few months ago and was excited to have a little corner store for quick needs like milk and eggs. I've been in 3x and have had terrible experiences every time. The owner (assuming he is the owner because I've only ever seen him there) has been rude and short with me every time. I asked him for a suggestion for a store close by that might sell an item he didn't have and he just looked at me like I had 3 heads and said "Google." Not a business I want to support ever again. Not to mention the prices are ABSURD. So much for a convenient corner store, I miss my NYC bodega. I'll make the trip to the giant for normal prices and mediocre customer service--anything is better than 7 River Mart.

This is a great corner store, the owner (Sam) is responsive to what his customers want. There is amazing variety for such a small store, produce baked goods and dairy are fresh and there is even homemade kimchi (and an ATM). Highly recommend.
