We stopped by Palace Market around 2pm and it was still relatively busy with a line of about 4…read morepeople in front of us to order at the deli in the back. There are two self service ordering screens, and the orders were ready about 15 minutes after ordering. The soft serve does get prepared quicker and they call your name only once or twice before setting it down on a cone holder on the counter so stay nearby to make sure you can hear your name get called! Same goes for the sandwiches, one of our sandwiches was done for a while but we never heard our name and had to go up and ask. The soft serve is made with jersey cow milk now - I never got the chance to try it when it was still buffalo milk but the soft serve was rich and creamy and the perfect cold treat after a hike at point reyes. We took our sandwiches to go and enjoyed them outside - I got the Foggy Garden which is a veggie sandwich with pesto and a basil and garlic soft cheese; it was tasty and large but I do wish there was a bit more roasted veggie. It was still quite filling because of how much soft fluffy focaccia there was but as a veggie sandwich it' would be nice if it was a little more substantial. Overall, a nice quick stop to grab some tasty bites on your way to or from Point Reyes! I'd definitely grab the soft serve again.

Heard about the buffalo milk soft serve, but FYI, they no longer have it! They've replaced it with a regular milk soft serve instead. I got the 4-cheese mac & cheese, and honestly, it wasn't very good. The noodles were way too soft, and the sauce was thin and pretty flavorless. It also made me feel a little sick afterward. For the price, I expected it to be a lot better. The market itself is really cute, though, and I'd definitely try some of their other stuff if I'm back in town. The service was also great -- everyone was super friendly! Food: 5/10 Service: 9/10

The guys at the counter were nice and the service was quick! We were in and out in less than 10 minutes. I love the small shop they have in there. They have fun drinks and cute stickers. I hope this will always be a destination option for us when we visit!

As I walked up to the cashier area, no one else was around. The young man and girl working were pleasant at first. The had my vase I was buying from the art gallery already wrapped up. The young man started helping me, then a lady came in with her dog raising her voice high asking where the line was. Very rude. By then there were two other people in line behind me. She again asked where the line was once again very loud. The young man stopped helping me and took this very rude lady in the side, though he was already helping me and two there were in line before her. Seemed strange. The girl started ringing me up only I had two separate transactions because I purchased the vase, & wanted it separate. She wrung my other things without giving me a receipt, so I asked for one. She seemed bothered. I spent $112 while there! Your employees need to know to tell people where the lines are, stay with the ones they're already helping and give a recipe unless otherwise told.

This store has SO MANY interesting bottles of boutique soda. If you don't drink alcohol, but still…read morelike cracking open a bottle of a craft drink, then this place is for you. To be fair, they do also carry some alcohol, but the alcohol section pales in comparison to the sodas. I bought a bottle of Cock N Bull apple ginger beer (for anyone who doesn't already know this, ginger beer, like root beer, is completely non-alcoholic), and a can of Pocasville bebida de T de hibiscus. I was going to pick out more drinks, but noticed that there were no price stickers anywhere. So, naturally, I wanted to know how much they cost before picking too many out. When I went to the register with my two items, I was given some serious sticker shock. It was well over seven dollars for two sodas. Of course I understand that food is really expensive right now, and that, the further the food has to be transported before purchase, the more it costs. Still, wow. That seemed so high. In addition to the amazing selection of overpriced sodas, this small store also had a great selection of (pricey) chocolates, cheeses, and hiking snacks. Additionally, they have a produce section that actually makes the store in Curry Village Yosemite look good. There were exactly two lemons, two limes, three oranges, four apples, and one piece of ginger. The cashier was maybe a little odd, but friendly. He recognized the people in front of me by name, and had a nice little conversation with them. The store was neither exceptionally clean or dirty, but looked clean enough. Parking was very limited with only about three spots out front, but there appeared to be more places to park across the street. I did not yet patronize the fresh sandwich deli, which seems to be the main feature of this store. Maybe another time.

Now, I'm not a huge herbalist, but my date is and was digging the whole experience. Right after we left the store, Eden chased after us because we forgot to buy the tea bags for the herbal tea, she made an extra $3, I was out another $3, and my date was happy. One could call that some superior customer service right there.

I'd seen their signage on my way to the Marshall Store a number of times and read about their farmstead tasting room. We drive across the spine of the hills in their verdant pasture to their farm operations with barns of Happy Holsteins up to their farm store and tasting gardens. We had booked a tasting ahead of time and were greeted by Mathilde upon arrival who escorted us to a beautiful garden setting with a sofa and chairs around a table overlooking Tomales Bay and right next to a newborn Holstein Calf. The cheese array is truly generous and lovingly prepared with edible flowers from their gardens. There are also chocolates, dried fruit, spreads, and jams. We purchased a few beverages, salamis, and prosciutto to round out our tasting. They took such good care of us and the setting was magical. This is a wonderful place for a picnic.

This was extremely frustrating and should be made much clearer online.

Also, no pets are allowed, so please be aware of that before making the trip. Overall, really disappointing experience before we even got the chance to try the food.
