Green Almond Pantry

Stopped here for a snack about 10 min before closing. Picked up a marinara focaccia bread. The service was good. The person taking our order heated the bread before giving it to us and provided utensils and extra napkins (that we ended up needing). This is in a shared space and had lots of counter space.The bread was was nice and fluffy with some marinara baked on top and slices of tomato, mushroom, basil and onions.

Adorable and tasty small bakery nestled in a cute area by the canal. Tried the marinara focaccia and the beef and potato bourek, both of which were phenomenal! The beef and potato bourek was a special favorite--incredibly flavorful beef and a light, flaky pastry. There's not a ton of seating but didn't have trouble finding a spot. This was our first time, but was clear many people are regulars as the staff greeted them by name. Definitely want to come back!

Love this place! Unfortunately, sometimes hard to find parking since it's in Georgetown. The staff is always friendly and attentive here. Excellent service! I loved the Eggplant Confit Sandwich, Dill Zucchini Soup, and Marinara Focaccia. The sandwich is flavorful and comes with a nice small side of arugula salad and half a jammy egg! The soup really surprised me since it was almost refreshing?? hot??! buT SO GOOD

Located on Grace street, tucked away behind the main drag, is the most amazing restaurant experience I've had in a while. Let's start with the food. The menu at Green Almond is extensive, but let's just say, comfort foods. Sandwiches, salads, soups and the best focaccia in DC. Like, don't wear any of your nice clothes when you eat here, because you're going to get oil on everything! Our order: We shared a rosemary and garlic and a marinara focaccia as well as an egg and cheese (Gouda), served on a rosemary focaccia, with a drizzle of pesto. Seven napkins later, we were making plans to come back for more. The bread is perfectly crispy outside, soft in the middle. I wouldn't call this light. There's light stuff on the menu, but if you're eating in, plan on walking this one off. What made this extra special? We had an out-of-town guest with us. She ordered a Cesar salad & their Cesar is traditional, as in anchovies. No big deal and totally our fault for not reading the menu. One of the wonderful employees came out to check in with us. We said everything was great, but the employee noticed that the salad was not touched and asked if there was anything she could re-make, noticing our guest playing with her food. In fact she insisted on bringing us another salad, because she assumed that we mistakenly ordered the wrong thing. We talked for a couple of minutes and had a fun little parent to parent kinda chat. The usual stuff. It was great to feel a connection to the source. The food is great, but the experience was greater.Overall, food was a 5/5 and the experience and atmosphere is worth looking for a parking space in Georgetown on a Sunday. I recommend you grab a variety of focaccias and soups/salads and share away.

Great focaccia and good selection of baked items and grab and go items. Definitely a good place to stop by for a little bite while in Georgetown and there is something for everyone including dips, sweets, and grain salads. Service was kind and helpful!

Be aware of the Prepared food - the food is past its prime. I was so excited to support another local business - sadly the food was old, mushy, soggy, and tossed all of it out because it made me sick. If you want to a good experience, order something fresh off the menu. The Rosemary Sea Salt Focaccia bread ($8) was very oily and very stiff and stale, the Lentil and Eggplant dish ($15) as well as the Farro dish ($8) were both very mushy. While I should have paid closer attention to the food preparation dates labeled on the bottom of the containers marked 12/16 for the Farro and 12/21 for the Lentil and Eggplant, that food should have been tossed out days ago (it should have a 2 or 3 day rule). My stomach started churning after a few bites and $32 down the drain. The dishes had plenty of potential and I'm sure it would have been a different story if the food was fresh. Sadly, I don't agree with the 4.9 rave reviews and had a completely different experience. To top it off, the service was stand-offish and really could care less for my business and didn't want to be bothered.

Green Almond Pantry is our go-to spot in Georgetown for simple, delicious Mediterranean food. Chef Cagla Onal-Urel is not only a fantastic cook but also incredibly kind. After a fire shut down their Shaw location, they relocated to Grace Street Collective, and the food is as amazing as ever. Think crunchy bread with jammy eggs, anchovies, and pickled watermelon radish or grilled lamb kofta with heirloom beans and bright herbs. Their focaccia and flourless chocolate cake are must-haves.Chef Cagla even helped us out when my wife was in the hospital having our daughter, going above and beyond to provide us with comforting meals. We're are excited for her new restaurant, My Little Chamomile, which will bring homestyle Turkish-Mediterranean cooking to the same hidden alleyway as Reverie. Green Almond Pantry holds a special place in our hearts and is highly recommended for anyone looking for heartfelt service and outstanding food.

Still the absolute best. From the food, to the service, to everyone who works there. I wish they were open for dinner and can't wait till hey more formal restaurant format opens up.

The focaccia here is some of the best focaccia that I've ever had in my life. I ordered the marinara focaccia and it was so crispy and flaky on the outside but soft and lightly chewy on the inside . The broiled herbs, shallots, and sauce on top are tangy and flavorful. The lamb Kofte took a few minutes to come out so you know it was fresh. The hummus that they sell is also amazing. There are indoor and outdoor seating options and it's a peaceful, sunny place. The people who work there are so friendly :) I definitely plan on returning!

Some of the best food I've eaten in I don't know how long! I went here for lunch with my family. We tried the hummus and chicken, open-faced chicken salad sandwich, plum olive oil cake, and the fig and goat cheese focaccia. The focaccia was easily the best I've ever had: fluffy, bursting with flavor, and with the perfect amount of toppings. The chicken was juicy and cooked to perfection, and we were literally scraping the bowl to get all of the hummus out of it. The sandwich and olive oil cake were also tasty and flavorful, but those first two dishes knocked it out of the park. Georgetown is a trek for me, but it would be worth it to come back to this spot. The food is made by hand and with care - they even whipped the whipped by hand with a whisk in front of us for the cake. There is plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors, as well as a little mini market with specialty ingredients you can buy. Staff was so friendly, and every dish looked incredible. The prices are reasonable given how large the portions are and how fresh and high quality the food is. Can't recommend it enough!
