MARVELOUS MARKET
730 7th Street, NW
Washington, DC
Who we are:
To the peoples of old Europe, the craft of making bread was a time honored tradition passed down through the generations.Unfortunately, the industrial revolution changed that tradition. Machines replaced craftsmen. Prepackaged yeast replaced natural leavenings. And conveyor belts replaced the hearthstone. The result: a not so wonderful wonder bread.
What we've discovered in our brief nine-year history is that people still want high quality bread made by traditional means. At Marvelous Market, we do things the old way. We have craftsmen who mix and shape bread by hand. We use natural leavening and stone milled grains. We use a hearthstone oven imported from France.
We use the same care and patience to make rustic pastries and desserts and in all our cooking. Our kitchen produces soups, salads, entrees and sandwiches using the best ingredients that we can find.
To compliment these made-from-scratch offerings, we have brought together a selection of our favorite farmhouse cheeses, cured olives, extra virgin olive oils, aged vinegars and old fashioned preserves. We sell only certified Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee.
We've tried to take a giant step backward before taking our first step forward. We try to let the past be our guide. We make virtually everything we sell and try to make simple foods packed with flavor. Not too many moving parts. We don't try to be something we aren't. No frills or fuss. Just good bread, good food and good people.
