Great selection of everything. For what they charge, they should be able to afford to eat the credit card fees, that comes off as petty.

Communities from around the world settle in the D.C. area and with them come restaurants and stores. This small store is packed with German products from juice to food. They have a bakery with pastries, a deli with meats, cheeses, and sandwiches. There's even a section of non-food items like shampoo, etc.

Really like this place. Definitely enjoy the German foods. The brats or sandwiches are delicious. If you want something different, definitely give this place a try. It's located off of busy Columbia Pike. Convenient to a lot of area destinations. All of the folks here are friendly. This might be where I go get lunch today. Am tempted despite trying to cut calories down. A clean shop and so many choices. It is fun, and am happy to recommend it.

The hot sandwiches here are so good! They have over 10 types of sausages to choose from. The bread they use is also delicious and definitely makes the sandwiches even better. I only wish they didn't end food ordering at 2-3 pm. Pastries and ice cream are also great. There's a decent parking lot as well, which is a plus.

Falls Church, VA - after hiking around in the city my handsome husband and I worked up a hunger. German Gourmet to the rescue! This little store on Columbia Pike functions as a German specialty grocer, deli and sandwich counter. Our focus today was the sandwich counter. One important thing to know is there is no seating of any kind. You will be taking your sandwiches to go. (My suggestion: get a few slices of butter kaese at the deli counter and munch on these on the car ride home. Then enjoy your sandwiches in peace at your abode.) They do offer napkins and plastic silverware if needed. The sandwiches are freshly made to order. You take a number and a deli employee will assist you. They have numerous types of bratwurst to choose from. Additionally a number of German cold cuts. We ordered a Nurnberger bratwurst and the Tyrolean hot sandwich. The breads for both were very fresh and the sandwiches tasty. The mustard on the bratwurst was full of good horseradish! The Tyrolean was moist with a good combination of tender meat and sauce. The bread was a nice mild rye - it was a two hander sandwich! We were both full having eaten these delicious sandwiches. The deli employees were all friendly and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return.

Kitchen closes at 3 pm, after which the sandwich menu is unavailable. I was caught offguard when my family and I rushed to get here for dinner, arrived at 6:30 pm, and was approached by a (friendly!) employee informing me of this and that they were closing soon and to place my deli counter order soon. I was flustered upon learning this and quickly picked a few small precooked brats, Bavarian Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and rye bread to bring back to the hotel. It wasn't enough to feed my family, but that's totally on me for being bad at making decisions under time pressure. Picked up a six-pack of some beer from a brewery in München that my husband is a fan of as well. Everything tasted great, and I wish I could have tried one of their in-house sandwiches. Got a couple free pretzels at checkout, which I really appreciated. If only I lived in the area and could come back another day!

The German Gourmet is an excellent business in my community. The food quality, selection and staff are topnotch. My husband and I come here usually to purchase sausages and cheese. We started a new holiday tradition last year where we make a special trip to the German Gourmet to fill our Christmas socks with European confections. This is our second year enjoying the tradition and we love it. The variety of chocolate deliciousness can't be beat and we also pick out a few jams and coffee. They have a full deli and bakery. Their beer selection is awesome as well. If you like German and European food in general, you really should stop by the German Gourmet. Thank you for always providing us a great experience. :-)

I'm absolutely in love with this store! After having travelled to Germany, it's fantastic to have a little piece of Europe right close to home! I loved their cute interior and how careful they were during Covid. The lunch sandwiches are absolutely amazing. I also love how they have those "hard to find items." They have a fantastic selection of German beers and cakes.
