I have been to their beautiful location in Ashland and I'm so happy to have a location closer! Loving the valentines specialty drink menu! I definitely want to come back to try the date latte!

Don't go on Monday…read more I made the mistake of patronizing on a Monday, not knowing that 75% of the businesses are not open. Wow, this might be OK on a normal basis... Today is December 22, I found myself surrounded by fellow shoppers who were appalled that these small businesses were not taking advantage of the last-minute Christmas shopping crowd. I had planned to purchase several things, but instead left with a delicious peppermint mocha from Goldberry.

If you want to support local the West Side Market is the perfect stop, it doesn't matter the day of week, unless you are looking for the cafe to be open. I love being able to get my produce along with fresh seafood at Kate's and pasta from Ohio City, full meal planning in one stop, especially when you can grab a fresh bouquet that finishes your table setting. Parking is even easier with one hour free and scan and pay if you are going to shop at a leisurely pace.

I love food halls and markets, and I always try to check them out when I travel, so I had some…read morepretty high hopes for this well-rated spot! Starting off with parking, there was some construction going on and I missed the first entry, there was nowhere to turn for the parking lot address I had on 25th St (turn on 23rd)! We ended up doing street parking but there's 90 min of free parking if you make it into the lot. Moving onto the main attraction: food! Most of the food is real market food for folks cooking at home. Think sausages, fish, various other meats, and pastas. There was a great deal on fresh made pasta near the front for $2.50 a bundle, but I was on the hunt for ready-to-eat lunch and those didn't quite hit the mark! I also saw a lot of baked goods (apple fritters, macarons, breads), fried foods (empanadas, hand pies, etc.), and sauces/dips. When it came to food options I actively considered, I narrowed it down to spring rolls, crepes, and gyros, but ultimately the gyros were priced really high ($16!) and we ended up dining at the West Side Cafe (which was great, I'll review that separately). Long story short: fun market to shop around if you feel like cooking a nice meal, not so fun for a lunch while you're out. Also I'm learning that there was seating upstairs, this was hard to spot while inside!

The coolers were fully stocked in the front with great options to just stop in and grab some fresh food and go. It appeared like a few people were taking advantage of this while we were there.

The Van Aken District was such a nice find while I was casually driving around. I checked out this…read morefood court recently and was really impressed with everything it had to offer. There are tons of food options including pizza, pasta, poutine, sandwiches, salads, and a huge variety of desserts. It's definitely one of those places where everyone can find something they like which makes it great for groups. I decided to try the chicken shawarma poutine, and even though it sounded a little different at first, it ended up being absolutely delicious. The fries were crispy, the chicken was flavorful, and the toppings all came together perfectly. I noticed a lot of other unique dishes at different stalls too which makes me want to go back and try more. The prices were very reasonable as well especially for the quality and portion sizes. What really stood out, though, was the atmosphere. There was live music playing, which gave the whole place such a lively and fun vibe. You can even order a beer and just walk around or head outside to enjoy it in the fresh air. Between the food variety, affordable prices, and the relaxed but energetic setting, I think this spot is perfect for a casual meal or even a night out with friends. I'll definitely be going back!

Anytime I check out a market/grocery business I find myself wandering the isles just to check out the selection. I really like the choices here.

Since we were there for lunch, I got some hot food which to my surprise included a white pesto garlic cheese and tomato slice of pizza, vegetable lasagna, German chocolate brownie, & veggie bean rice medley...Ok, so curiosity killed the cat....except in this case stuffed the cat! All things being said food tasted very good in a comfort food sort of way...except veggie medley which was good in a healthy sort of way. I hope to get more of that on my future returns. Great prices. Yes they carry BELLEZZA cooking oil.

After years of living in the East Side, I finally visited this farmer's market for the first time!…read more It was much bigger than I thought it would be but it was still moderately sized enough to walk through easily and see everything. There was a bit of everything sold there on 5/6/2023 - in-season fruits and vegetables (lots of rhubarb!), crafts like soap and jewelry, baked goods, and meat. I didn't see lots of must have items for a single woman living alone with a small freezer but I picked up some mushrooms, herbs, and a yummy (but overpriced) chocolate chip cookie. It's a fun thing to see on a Saturday morning. I see no reason to give it anything but 5 stars! I will be back at least one more time this season to see what's new!
