Happy 2025, Yelpers! I was surprised that I hadn't reviewed The Tubby Olive so here it is…read more.. When The Tubby Olive had left their space some time ago at the Reading Terminal Market (see my review!) I was quite disappointed as it was a very regular stop for me to get my fair share of olive oil and flavored balsamic dressings. But, their main shop in Newtown, PA is not too long of a drive to continue to make the trip to get my oils and balsamic. Also, Newtown has some other great shops and restaurants so it makes for a nice day trip. Tubby Olive has dozens of oils and balsamic in all kinds of awesome flavors stored in metal tubs that allow you to sample every single one if you so desired. They have two main sizes of bottles, but then they also have tiny bottles for some nice gift sets already put together. You can sign up for the frequent customer discount where after nine bottles your tenth is free. The store is quaint with old wooden floors and I've never had any bad customer service. I tend to rotate between the Traditional 18-Year Balsamic and the Fig Balsamic, and for oils they separate them between mild, medium, and robust. I tend to like the different mild oils and choose one on the spot after trying them. I'm more than happy to give Tubby Olive my business. You should, too. Very quality products. Prices have risen in recent times, but I still come back. Large bottles are about $40 and regular $20.

I also like how you can taste them before you buy. No matter what you like you will be able to find a vinegar that matches your pallette and dish that you are cooking. As far as Olive Oil, we prefer the robust blends but they have medium and mild as well. They are always mixing it up so they have a big variety. They also have infused olive oil. I like the blood orange to mix with the fruit infused balsamics for a salad dressing. You can shop in the store store if you like samples. They also ship and have the same selection on line. So if you cannot make it into the store, you can still order their great products. The bottom line is it is worth the drive to browse the store and sample the selections. This is the place to get all of your olive oil or balsamic vinegar.

Go see for yourself.

Everything is baked right on the premises and the aromas help to fill the air with sweets coming right out of the ovens. Mainly run by the Amish folks, they do hire help as I marveled at the gal with the Steeler's tee shirt on while she was making homemade cinnamon rolls, so I had to buy some of those. This area of the market is huge and I do mean filled to capacity with made from scratch whole of half cakes, cream, custard or fruit pies, breads, rolls, sticky buns, tarts, cobblers, whoopie pies, muffins, apple dumplings, cupcakes, cookies and of course shoofly pie. I know some of you who pay an arm and a leg for a cupcake, but here they are very reasonably priced and just as good and as fancy as the ones you pay top dollar for. I bought a half of a black forest cake, a half pumpkin cheesecake with a sour cream topping, both were so delicious, a few loaves of bread, two packages of freshly baked sandwich rolls, a few whoopie pies and a pumpkin roll, love pumpkin and this roll was filled to the brim with lots of cream cheese filling. I hate to bake, they love to bake and they do it so well. We have very few good bakeries nearby so it is a real pleasure knowing that I have the Dutch Country Bakery close enough for me to stock up the fridge, freezer, pantry and yes it will eventually be stored on our bodies. Oh well what a sweet way to do it.

I have to say, this Bakery is the real reason I ever come out to this Amish market. Everything is…read morejust so so good. If I need baked goods and I don't have time to make it myself, I come here first. I always find something that I like and everyone is always happy with the product. I have never heard a complaint about something I bought from here. The breads, cookies, cakes, and especally the pies .. my mouth is watering. The price is on point too. I only wish they could be open every day!

Located within the Newtown Farmers Market, Dutch Country Salads & Desserts is a traditional…read moreLancaster Dutch (Amish) shop with a large deli display and back room kitchen capable of preparing a myriad of hot dishes. I was there to check out their breakfast options shown on a large white board on the wall. I went with the Sausage, Egg & Cheese on Potato Roll. There was a slight disconnect between the order taker in long gingham and bonnet and the short order cook handling the grill. Still, they worked out their confusion and I walked away with a heavy sandwich for consumption at my desk. Have to admit, it was one of the best of this genre I have had the pleasure to ingest bite by slow bite. The double egg fold over cushioned a double weight sausage patty and double American cheese slices, with a fresh soft roll bracketing this major opus. It was a joy to eat. Very easy to forgive any confusion when the finished product makes your day! It was substantial and delicious. Mark it down on the short list of excellent local breakfasts. Too bad it is in the farmers market and only open three days a week. But, I did load up on goats milk and kielbasa from the other vendors while I was there. All the Amish ambiance anyone could ever want.

Their distribution channels are still rather meager, but Organon the health food store on Route 413, Wrightstown, PA, has a selection in their back room frozen foods department. I picked up the Vegetarian Vietnamese Pho and Roasted Butternut Squash to sample a couple of flavors I normally love. Each plastic package was 12 ounces, enough for one meal. Stovetop or microwave for a few minutes and recycle the sleeve container. I slurped the pho today after shoveling the heavy fresh wet white precip that fell from early this morning. While it lacked the rich spicy lemongrass base of long time pot simmered stock found in Pho 75 and other good VN restaurants, and the thick nest of noodles and fresh pinched Thai basil leaves, it was pretty good for what it was - healthy nearly instant soup with only wholesome ingredients. A squirt of Sriracha for an extra kick and it was bowl rim to lips; bottoms up! Who had time for a spoon? BowlFace! I'll be back here after trying the Butternut Squash, but wanted to review the Pho while it was still warming my stomach. Gotta say this is a bit of a homer epistle, as I am very happy that Newtown's entrepreneurial spirit is thriving even in the Age of Covid.

I am a huge fan of BowlFace! The soups are fresh... they don't use preservatives and the…read moreingredients are locally sourced. Everything I've eaten so far is so flavorful! My favorite soups are the Thai Butternut and the Vietnamese Vegetable Pho. The Thai Butternut warms you up on a cold day with the ginger. The Pho is full of mushrooms and herbs. I wish they were available all year around. The good thing about the packaging is that it freezes well! So I recommend stocking up on your seasonal favorites. Besides soup, they offer dips and macaroni and cheese. And most recently they have added salad dressing. So far I have only tried the Pickle Sriracha Dip but I have the Buffalo Cauliflower Dip in my fridge. The Pickle Dip was amazing, I can't wait to grab some more next time I'm at Organnons. If you like pickles, you'll love the Dip! I'm looking forward to Summer and trying more soups! You can check their website to see where you can buy locally. They are usually a vendor on Saturdays at the Wrightstown Farmer's Market. You can also find them at Organnons, Tanner's and I see them occasionally at GI Juice in Buckingham.

The space is no where as large as the produce areas inside the Reading Terminal Market, but they make good use of what they have, filled with fresh fruits and veggies, selling their own home grown products and that of locals when in season. I've never had a bad experience here, they supply the stand with what they think they will sell in three days and it's always fresh, firm and in great shape. Ha, we are talking about fruits and veggies here. I bought some of the best sweet corn here this summer and their blackberries were so huge and sweet. Squash and Brussels sprout season is coming up and I will go crazy over buying, because I love the stuff. I've never met a fruit or veggie that I did not like and there is always a wide variety here to choose from. Oh and they have a cooler filled with fresh squeezed orange juice, it's so cold and sweet and it's nearly impossible to pass up. Their prices are fair and they are open year 'round, but only on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Can you say Ratatouille!
