Perfect blueberry buckwheat pancake and crab cake.
No vegan food
Visited during the week few customers & much parking. Prices are very, very high. Turkey wings flat & tip $6.99/lb, ouch. Lunch very high, small portions. Head cheese omg, delicious, 2 slices $4 to expensive for my fixed budget.
The absolute best!! If you’re close to DC on a Sunday morning, please stop by and try their breakfast. It’s amazing.
May 19, 2024 Ashley and I walked to Eastern Marker in D.C. We went to the The Marker Lunch and got a crab cake platter, I then got some local cold brew and Ashley got some local juice. After we took the Metro to see the Washington Mystics vs Seattle Storm at the Entertainment and Sports Arena!
Bland egg, sausage, and cheese sandwich.

Great for diner style breakfast . Although it always seems packed, the wait time isn’t long :)

I was so eager to try the buckwheat blueberry pancakes so I made my way on a Sunday morning. Be prepared to wait on a long line and struggle for a seat! Overall I would go back and highly recommend the pancakes. They were delicious but overall the seating system and ordering system was a bit chaotic so I wouldn’t be here too often due to that.

I stopped by the Market for a breakfast sandwich during the weekend and I must admit I was a little disappointed. I’ve been told great things about their pancakes but I did not try them so I can’t speak to that. I can speak to the “Brick” Sandwich. It was good but I’ve had better breakfast sandwich neighbors places at the same cost. Definitely want to try their pancakes though.

I ❤️ this place! When I have guests visit DC, this is where I take them before a day of sightseeing.
This time, I had buck wheat blue berry pancakes. Which sounds simple, but they're exceptional! Buy so is their crab cake Benedict and chicken and waffles. It's hard to go wrong here. Check the blackboard for daily specials.
Be warned on weekends, the line can be really long. I suggest going early. They open at 8AM, I think. Also, the only seating is a communal table or the picnic tables outside.
Then go walk it off and enjoy the rest of Eastern Market.

This is the best grab and go breakfast in DC. The buttermilk pancakes are so fluffy and delicious. It definitely comes with enough for two people to share. Their lemonade and fresh squeezed OJ are great too.

Situated inside the Eastern Market, this establishment offers both breakfast and lunch. They only have one table with two chairs that are falling apart for those who can't sit on the tall bar stools in a tight corner. Not small children nor wheelchair friendly.
I would recommend the rockfish and the crab cake. We decided not to get their orange juice as it isn't freshly squeezed.
I tried the rockfish breakfast, with a warm buttered bread roll, a piece of deep-fried fish, potato hash, and eggs cooked to your preference. It was delicious, but we weren't fans of the scrambled eggs.
The blueberry buckwheat pancake was loaded with berries, but the butter was overly salty, creating too much contrast with the sweet maple syrup.
We also purchased uncooked crab cakes to fry at home, which were fabulous! There's a small discount if you buy 4.
