Get a sandwich or a trio of amazing prepared salads here, pair it with a $4 draft beer, and sit out at the picnic tables out front for a perfect summer meal.
If you're lucky, you can get their amazing Beer-brined Berkshire pork loin sandwich with braised collards and pimento cheese on a cheddar biscuit. Delicious!
- The Italian Stallion is a knockout sandwich worthy of Rocky's nickname. Terra di Siena proscuitto, ham, salami, provolone, pickled peppers, red onions, hot pepper relish & vinaigrette on a sub roll.
- Glen's beer selection (both on draft and bottled) is incredible and affordable. I personally love and can never deny their salad combos at the deli, although their sandwiches are crazy good, too!
On the GridNovember 21, 2016Stretching from Virginia to New York, Glen’s selects producers who are respectful of their land, their ingredients, their animals and your body. Read more
Tammy GordonMay 19, 2013Well curated and locally sourced grocery and deli that plays super fun music while you shop. (All your farmers market faves every day of the week!) Bar and tables to eat in too!
Bitches Who BrunchMarch 21, 2015Now serving Bullfrog Bagels for the most incredible breakfast sandwiches. Best hangover cure in the District, hands down.- The Bully pizza will make you want to order another - Beef Bolognese, pastrami, mozzarella, tomato sauce, & parsley; and then wash it down with a $4 local brew!
Anna JohnApril 21, 2013Everything looked lovely. Unique products that are priced accordingly, and by accordingly, I mean ten dollars for a bottle of dark chocolate milk. Prices are as high as I'd have to be, to shop there.- Bitches Who BrunchApril 29, 2015This lovely market and shop has a few outdoor tables to snag, first-come, first-serve. Grab your bagel and your paper plate and make it a picnic. Read more
Tiffany LangstonFebruary 12, 2016Upscale market with a great variety. Lunchtime can get crowded in the prepared foods section. Prices can be high, but you're paying for quality. And they only use reusable shopping bags
Nichole TreadwayMay 27, 2013I bought one of the roast chickens from the prepared food section and a loaf of bread and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be stopping by here more often.
Make sure to load up your wine/beer card, grab a glass and linger in the store. Plus, they love the neighbors and their head chef is the best!
Geoffroy BablonApril 25, 2015Great selection of hot & cold sandwiches, along with salads. Feels like a nicer, miniature Whole Foods with great service.
Jeremy CApril 24, 2013Fantastic decor, interesting selection, very pricey. My roast beef and mustard sandwich consisted of... roast beef and mustard with a 4:1 bread-to-meat ratio. Tasty, but not worth the $10 I paid.
GoGoodApril 5, 2014Beautiful store, amazing selection of 100% LOCAL goods -- they support the environment, too, by rewarding people who switch to renewable power with $35 gift cards!
Neighborhood gem with super friendly staff. Unique selection of goods. Major bonus: outside seating to enjoy some takeaway😊
Skip the beer on tap — simply buy a six pack from the fridge and drink it on the patio! It’s cheaper that way and you won’t have to get back in line for another beer.
I was going to Glens about 2-3 times a week. This week they gave me roast beef instead of pastrami -2 different days. Today my pastrami looked like dog food. This is the end of Glens for me-see photo!
Herb H.April 27, 2013Beautiful store, helpful staff and well curated selections! Hard to believe this is in the spot once occupied by the "Secret Safeway." My first visit but I will be back soon!
Locally sourced products from the Chesapeake region, and great community events too!
Matthew GuderianAugust 10, 2013Quality local products. It also has a rather nice bar with tasty sandwiches with beer and wine by the glass which rotate often. 4 dollar drafts.
Caitlin ReaganFebruary 10, 2014I'm very skeptical of Glen's. Everything is locally grown and they offer prepared kale salad or cole slaw but no kale or carrots. Good for prepared foods, very limited on produce, cheese, meat, etc.
Monica CullenApril 5, 2017Very similar to a Whole Foods market, but smaller with a neighborhood vibe, craft beers and cozy feel.- JenniferAugust 28, 2015Great gourmet local/organic grocery and take-out. Very small craft beer selection focused on local options.
Greg BooneApril 30, 2013Gotta appreciate a grocery store with a bar ($4 beers), delicious sandwiches, and great music. When was the last time you heard the Flaming Lips at Safeway?
Amazingly, the store is 100% local. Everything is from the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. Take that, global warming. WE HAVE A STORE.
morgJune 24, 2013$4 drafts of fancy beers are amazing, especially if you can find a summertime seat on the outdoor patio!
RyanJanuary 21, 2015Closest thing to a local co-op in the area. Could benefit from cutting the nice-ities and slashing prices.
Tap selection is exemplary and staff is awesome! You can't beat the $4 craft beers.
Nicole StahleckerMay 24, 2016Great breakfast samdwhiches and salads! Love the selection of local food!
Claire LewandowskiJune 28, 2015Build yourself a DIY brunch when you're not feeling the greasy spoon. Juice, coffee, bagels, kale salad...
Elizabeth ShellAugust 20, 2013This place is an incredible feast for the palette. And eyes, too: such beautiful packaging on the chocolates!!!
Beer week specials and like always they have GREAT local produce! So happy glens is in Dupont :)
Anne MarchandSeptember 16, 2013Love that they have vegan options in the food bar! And some vegan desserts!- Bitches Who BrunchDecember 8, 2015Voted Best Grab-and-Go Brunch of 2015 by Bitches Who Brunch! Read more
Awesome beers on tap, great grocery products and a friendly staff.
Check the date roasted on the coffee bean packages. Coffee is perishable, not a dry good. Under two weeks if possible.
The beef broth caramelized onions in their grilled cheese are dreamy.
Careful at the communal tables around the sweaty post-Flywheel crowd.
Roman GabrielSeptember 6, 2013Great tasting Pastrami and I don't even eat pastrami better cold than hot
Brandon PartridgeSeptember 25, 2013Such a unique food destination. Check out IBEX Drinkable Yogurt in the dairy case.
Place is hipster foodie pretentious, but terrific soups & beef chili.
