The variety is overwhelming because no matter where you turn there's something fun to look at! The entire front is arranged much like an ideal lawn would look like, with a couple comfortable and beautiful swings that would be great for front or back porch. The section for herb and vegetables is plentiful and includes some neat arrangements for those lacking a green thumb (or those looking for a unique and fun gift) such as the salad bowl (arugula, herbs, edible flowers, etc.). The coolest part is that there's also a ton of fun stuff inside! Bird feeders, hummingbird feeders, squirrel feeders (didn't know that was a thing by the way!), and a ton of seeds and feed. There's also a section filled with locally crafted soaps, plus stuff for children (or adults who also enjoy toys like finger puppets). It's kinda a real life enchanted forest. Well, close enough.

I have been going to Esposito's for many many years, staff are courteous and friendly and always help. If you want to support a local store, shop Espositos. PS. Don't forget the free popcorn while you're there :-)

Wow, we had a great experience with Chef Chelle (Michelle)! We hired her to do an in-home private…read moredinner for 8 of us to celebrate a 50-year wedding anniversary. She was great to work with ahead of time, planning the meal and details. When she arrived and started working in the kitchen, it was awesome! She was the perfect blend of social when people wanted to interact and teaching when people wanted to learn. The food was supurb and everyone gave the entire experience 5-stars. Great job all around and thanks for making such a memorable evening for us!

Tip for my Tallahassee foodie friends. Get thee to Simply Entertaining on Market Street and try…read moretheir Salmon Spread (but call first and make sure they have it). SE is a kitchen supply and gourmet food shop that provides grab-and-go meals on Wednesdays (must call ahead) and an array of prepared salads, soups and other delectables. They also are one of Tally's best caterers. Tonight, I tried for the first time SE's Salmon Spread - and it was the best I've tasted ... anywhere, ever. My wife advised that it's not a regular offering; that's it's usually made when there's some leftover salmon from other preparations (in tonight's case, from yesterday's Grilled Salmon grab-and-go dinners). This is a grave error; it should be a regular fixture in their display cooler. This spread should be a destination for salmon, not a detour. I've always thought SE's amazing cookies were the star of their show. They must now take a supporting role to this amazing Salmon Spread.

With the full package, I was able to text, call, and email her when needed and met with her several times either by phone, video chat, or in person (when in town) - very accommodating. She helped us find some amazing vendors that really helped pull together the wedding. Everyone kept complimenting us on how great the day was and we have Papaya to thank for creating such a wonderful day. LOVE Amy and I would HIGHLY recommend her!

An excellent way to wind down - plus I enjoyed the painting! The staff was super friendly and very patient in explaining the process to a newcomer. There are loads of pieces from which to choose. Once the choice is made, the customer can choose the colors for their piece, which is left at the facility for staff to put in the kiln. The piece is usually ready for pick up within a week/week and a half. I plan to visit again; next time, I'll have others tag along with me!
