It is located in a Kroger strip mall area but is slightly higher class than what one might think when they hear that. It was a weird off-peak time so it was no issue getting seated right away and service was pretty good. We started our late lunch and our vacation with a cocktail, both of which were pretty tasty! I wanted to make sure I got some veggies in me before a week+ of vacation eating, so I got a side salad, which was pretty ample for a side! I also got the mushroom ricotta dip appetizer as a "meal" and it was pretty delicious! Cheese, mushrooms and carbs...you can't go wrong with that in my opinion! We had an okay time, and we were able to dawdle and not be rushed. It wasn't our first choice on the day and likely wouldn't be at another time, but it was more than decent as a secondary/back-up choice for a place to eat.

Great food and service…read more On a recent trip we were looking for something local to dine at and came across this restaurant. It is located next to the grocery store. The restaurant was clean and modern and had a great menu selection. The kids meals are $8 and come with a drink and side. I liked that they were really food just kids size versions. We had the sliders and chicken and waffles. On the adult menu we tried the cod dinner, hot honey chicken sandwich and pretzels and beer cheese. They also had a great selection of desserts.

While traveling in northern Kentucky, he stumbled upon one of these places, The Farmstand Market & Cafe. Farmstand offers comfort food with a farm-to-table focus served in a cozy space with a bar and attached market. We started with the Goetta Hanky Panky Dip. This was made with cheesy goetta, bagel chips, pumpernickel bread, and light rye served in a cast iron skillet. The dip had a good sausage flavor with salt and some light spice while being cheesy, creamy, and full of flavor. The bagel chips were very crispy but were not served warm. The pumpernickel and rye were dry. Each complimented the dip, adding texture to the bite. My wife had the Reuben Sandwich. This sandwich came with sliced corned beef, homemade Thousand Island, pickled pig sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese on light rye with bacon ranch pasta salad. The pasta salad was cooked spot on while also being creamy. The bacon added crunch and saltiness to the salad. The rye had a great toast, and the Thousand Island was tangy and creamy. The pastrami was dry but had a good salty flavor. The sauerkraut was crunchy and had a good sour flavor cutting through the salty meat and the sweet dressing. The cheese was gooey and nutty and added flavor to each bite. I sampled the French dip sandwich and Mulligatawny soup. This was prepared with a sliced top round with provolone on a French roll. The soup was prepared with rice, chicken, carrots, onions, celery, lentils and spices. The chicken was very tender, the rice was cooked well, and the vegetables added texture to the rice. The soup was flavorful, had a wonderful aroma, and had a good salt content. The top round was thin and offered good flavor and chew. The roll was fresh and had a good chew paired with the ooey and gooey cheese with an excellent buttery flavor. The au jus had good flavor but was slightly salty, which overpowered it. Farmstand offers grilled cheeses, hot sandwiches, burgers, salads, appetizers, soups and main entrees. They also serve beer and have a full bar. The servers were pleasant and knowledgeable. The Fat Man says that The Farmstand Market & Cafe is Fat Man Approved with 1 chin.

The only thing that could use improvement is perhaps the friendliness of the cashier. She was efficient but not friendly at all. It felt like she was annoyed to be there. I didn't want to dock stars because of that, though. Everyone was working hard and efficiently, and the coffee, which is the whole reason I came, was fantastic.

This is a great coffee place and if I ever visit Florence, I will go back again. They are family friendly and business casual. They have parking right in front of their shop.

Besides the empanadas you can get some sides (a la carte) rice, salads and more! They also do catering. We wanted to try a variety, so we ordered: -Buenos Aires- ground beef, onion, bell pepper, green onion -Singapore-garlic buttered spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan -Parma- ham, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, green onion -Buffalo-Buffalo chicken, mozzarella It was hard to choose a favorite because they were all top notch. The fresh Chimichurri sauce enhanced the flavor. I would definitely come back again! Pricing is reasonable and they are so good!

The Charcuterie board was a nice way to start (even if the server didn't present it well and mispronounced couple of products on the table) but the duck was not cooked properly in my opinion. The dessert (not pictured here) didn't leave a lasting impression either: tried the peanut butter mousse bar and it wasn't sweet enough to satisfy my sweet craving.
