This is an amazing Amish market. It is 5 minutes from my sister's house. As soon as you walk in you…read moreare greeted with the pleasant smell of fresh pretzels and freshly baked doughnuts! All the food and products are from the Amish people. Everyone is so friendly and the service is fast and efficient. My mom ordered a strawberry milkshake. She said it was one of the best milkshakes she ever had. They put a bunch of fresh strawberries inside and she said it wasn't too sweet but just perfect. My husband ordered a cookies and cream milkshake. He also said it was made really well and was not too sweet. Just a clean creamy cookie flavor. Of course we had to try the doughnuts. I ordered an apple and a chocolate with sprinkles. The apple was really good! It was freshly baked, and the filling was delicious and had a nice cinnamon flavor. The chocolate was also very good! They are big donuts too! 2 for $5. Now to the delicious soft pretzels! They are freshly baked, soft, buttery, and delicious!!! You can also get them in garlic, cinnamon, and sour cream and onion. They have pretzel dogs too. Fresh fudge anyone? They have a large variety of fudge treats. They have fresh meats, jewelry, furniture, and other items for sale as well. I wished we had more time to explore and try more things. They are only open on Thursdays and Saturdays until 3:00 PM.

I thought I had written a review for the Dutch Farmers Market but realized I hadn't. My wife and I…read morevisited the market after learning about it from a "welcome packet" we received after moving into the area. They have something for pretty much everyone - baked goods (donuts, cakes, pies, bread), cheese, pickles, produce, fresh meat, home furnishings. It's surprising how much they can squeeze into the space they have and not feel like it's crowded. There's also tables, cafeteria style, if you choose to eat there. If you visit their website, they offer coupons (e.g., $1 off brownies, free pretzel w/ purchase of a milkshake, etc.) you can print out. Normally, it is only open Thursday through Saturday. During certain holidays they do open other days of the week. For Christmas week, they're open Monday through Wednesday since they're closed on December 25th and 26th. For New Year's week, they're open Wednesday since they're closed on Thursday (New Year's Day).

Hunterdon Land Trust Farmer's Market is a small farmer's market located on Dvoor Farm in Raritan…read moreTownship. The market provides shoppers with the opportunity to browse locally grown produce, plants, honey, breads, soap, cheese, baked goods, and crafts (hand-knitted items from alpaca wool and beautifully hand made wood desks, bird houses, etc.) They feature live music and a variety of seminars each week, so check the rotating schedule on the market's website: http://hunterdonlandtrust.org/farmers-market/ I visited this farmer's market primarily to buy plants from the Toadshade Farm kiosk, which did not disappoint. There is an emphasis on locally grown plants and the man who sold them to me took time and care to explain each plant to me - where it should go in the garden, the care required, how it was cultivated, etc. Many of the food vendors also had samples to try. The cheese vendors were wonderful. The breads were also VERY creative (duck fat focaccia... sign me up!) Although some vendors took credit cards, others were cash/check only so I would recommend that you bring some cash with you and smaller bills. For those of us who are in northern NJ, it is an easier ride now that the summer is over. It is also a pretty ride and worth supporting our local growers.

This market has become one of my favorite ways to start a Saturday morning. It's located in the big…read morehall of the old Stangl Factory, the entrance right next to Alkemy Coffee! The vendors range from produce to honey to bread, little gifts perfect for the holidays, handmade soaps, lotions and candles and so much more. On my last trip I got some fresh veggies and fruit, a jar of honey and a loaf of sourdough bread. The bread was some of my favorite sourdough I've had. Perfect soft and the crust not too hard or crunchy. The honey is also getting lots of use and for $12 for a pretty big jar it is not too bad a deal. The produce was probably the most expensive part of the haul, but just happy to have a bit of an organic stock around. Next time I visit, I'm tempted to try the raviolis (from the same vendor that I got the honey) or maybe even take a closer look at some of the gifts since the holidays are quickly approaching. Parking is easy with the massive lot, but it for sure gets busy for the market. Worth a stop in! Grab a coffee next door after and check out some of the other nearby shops like the new antique store across the street or the pottery studio next door.

First stop on our mini bachelorette party! Although small with maybe 25 different vendors, this…read morefarmers market had a little bit of everything you could want. And people are so friendly here, not at all pushy to make a sale, but having a great time just conversing. We sampled some tasty boba, smelt some alcohol inspired coffee beans, oohed at the variety of salads, awwed at the cute selection of children's books, ate a piece of the most delicious tres leches ever, inhaled some relaxing lavender scents, got inspired by artistic cat purses, and regretted not having enough tummy space for empanadas, cookies or chocolates. After purchasing our goodies, we walked around the factory and found some tables near an art gallery. It's very spacious and open for exploring, and there's a great looking coffee shop attached as well. Its also connected to a bunch of other stores in the area, like a retro downtown. Definitely a great gem.

On my most recent visit to my hometown of Flemington, I took a trip to Basil Bandwagon to grab…read moresomething healthy (and vegan) for our long flight home back to the West coast. I learned that Basil Bandwagon has been open for 25 years. The year they opened, I was eating cold Pop Tarts while running to catch the school bus at 6:55am. In those days, fat-free was all the rage and considered "healthy" -- never mind all the refined carbs, loads of sugar, and preservatives. These days, I'm a strict vegetarian who is mostly vegan. I cook a lot and eat fresh produce daily. I appreciate that BB offers a healthy alternative to basically all the crap fast food otherwise available in the area. We ordered a wrap from the cafe and decided to eat it there. The seating was a counter with a few bar stools but it was clean if not spacious. My husband and I shared the "Freebird" wrap -- tofu-based mock chicken, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo. It came with potato chips. Wow, this was so good! Clean tasting, hearty, and delicious. I was so impressed with it that we grabbed a prepackaged wrap from the cold case to take on the plane with us. We also picked up a few other vegan sandwiches which were okay tasting but overall too dense and heavy. Next time, I'll stick with the housemade items. I do find it a little annoying that BB doesn't seem to carry as many vegan items as they do things that are "paleo" and gluten-free. I also find that some of their food items are so outrageously overpriced that you'd be better off hunting around at the local grocery stores instead of purchasing them here. The next time I'm in town, I'll be there to order another yummy item from the cafe. Thanks Basil Bandwagon for catering to us "healthy" folks looking for something tasty and satisfying to fill our bellies.

I made a quick stop into Flemington's newest business Mr. Pops and left very pleased!…read more I went into for a latte and left with some chocolates to add! First, the latte was great! I got a caramel latte which was flavored exactly to my preference! The caramel was not too sweet, didn't taste artificial and the double espresso was roasted perfectly. At the chocolate counter, I order a few different items. Just about all the chocolate is made in house (including the springtime/Easter specials)! The only items not made by in house are the peanut/peanut butter containing items (which are kept in a separate case). These items are sourced from Asher's Chocolate Co. Mr. Pops does this to ensure all of the chocolates made on site are 100% peanut free. The ambiance is quaint. Mr. Pops is decorated to elicit memories of a chocolate shop of old. I spoke with owner Tim who added to the pleasure of the experience. I am excited to return soon to Mr. Pops where I anticipate trying something cooler as the weather warms! In the corner of Mr. Pops I spotted an ice cream case... I hope this is an indication of ice cream and/or gelato coming in the near future. I would love to try an affogato from Mr. Pops! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Unique place with excellent ice cream flavors…read more There's a variety of old fashioned and new candies, staff is very friendly and you can watch the chocolate being made in the back room. Couch is comfy, but floor plan in the back area is a bit awkward, you go down some hallways to get to bathroom and pass some lonely candy shelves. Chocolate quality is so-so, it lacks a richness and cocoa bite. Ice cream flavors are very interesting and strong. I got the banana cookie ice cream in my affogato and, while I wish there was more ice cream, it was QUITE good. My wife didn't want all the caffeine from hers, so I walked out 320mg of caffeine richer. Would return for ice cream and ambiance.

Can't say enough good things about this place. When I temporarily moved to NJ back in Feb, I…read moreimmediately looked for my local Dream Dinners as I had been getting food from them for years. They were about a 50 minute drive from me but it didn't matter to me at all. It was good to go out on a Saturday morning once a month to get my meals. The first time I went, they were still open for assembly sessions. Everyone was very friendly and Jackie (the only employee I can remember chatting with) was grateful that I looked them up. Subsequent months later, I picked up my meals as they were closed for assembly sessions. I would pull up, open my trunk, and give them a call. They would bring out my meals in bags and I would be ready to go. I really appreciate them keeping open even though they have to put in extra work just so I could have my great, easy to cook meals. I'm not a good cook and I don't really like to cook so Dream Dinners has been a lifesaver for me these past 5ish years. The Flemington location is top-notch and I would recommend to anybody who wants meal kits but doesn't want to pay the high prices that places like Blue Apron charge to deliver to your house. Thanks a lot for helping me out these past few months!!

I think it may have just been too cold in the storage and fridge it was in which altered the texture and taste. The staff were very kind, friendly and happy to talk and help. Overall, a great new addition to the area that offers a ton of flavors that have been missing.

We went throughout the store and found many snacks we normally have to travel to get. So happy we don't have to drive 30+ mins anymore to get them. There were also vegetables and fruits, as well as sweets! Store was decent size, workers were friendly, and there were variety of items. One downside to it was that the checkout lines were very hectic and it took us about 30-40 mins to check out, but since it was their first day and a Sunday, I hope this won't be the norm! Will come again for sure. Can't wait until their hot food opens next week!
