Over several years, I placed several orders and my aunt and uncle both raved about how delicious they were! I also got to taste them when my aunt ordered some once when I was visiting. The owner of the business also worked with me on decorations. Several times I mailed her some special cupcake toppers to use (I had found some old-timey Raggedy Ann and Andy toppers on Etsy, that being a favorite of my aunt's) and Megan worked me to deliver a perfect gift at a very reasonable price. Don't hesitate to call her!

The fresh market has a reputation for being wildly expensive, which isn't entirely undeserved, but…read moreit's not the whole story. They have regular sales and specials that have prices that are hard to beat at any grocery store, and quality that definitely cannot be matched. Their Sunday meal and weekly meal deals, for example get you a really fantastic full family meal for a really good price. Keep an eye out for their great rotating specials on coffee, fish, meat, etc! Where fresh market really stands out is in specialty items and deli/bakery quality. They have lots of dry goods that are hard or impossible to find elsewhere. Their meats are always the highest quality and the place to go if you want a particularly nice cut of something. Don't miss out on their baked goods! We always go here for "adult" birthday cakes since they offer smaller cakes (what adult is eating a full sheet cake for their birthday?) at the highest quality. Their staff are of a quality to match their products and are always so nice and helpful. Overall, Fresh market offers a snazzy shopping experience and product quality that won't disappoint!

These past couple of years have found me in Aiken more and more. Some of it due to field placement…read more Some due to the new businesses popping up. But there is a mainstay I always visit when driving down Laurens Street. As I've stated in my previous review, yes it's almost a mirror menu of the Augusta location. So makes this one different? I still stand by the aroma factor. They roast their beans (you did know that right?) just a couple of doors down from the Cafe and oh is it heavenly. And just as every community has their own vibe/feel, so do the businesses that reside there. The outdoor seating here is right on the sidewalk (with more tucked in close to the building). The art is local of course and food and coffee are top notch. If you prefer vegan, vegetarian, or sugar (e.g. The Fairy Toast) this is the place for you.

However, their dedicated customer base means that they sell out of everything basically by lunch time, and the really popular items within just an hour or two. Their bagels are fantastic, and i love how many different and varied flavours they offer. I'm a sucker for a good savoury bagel, and they have so many great options: Asiago cheese, cheddar and jalapeño, old bay, "low country," the list goes on! They also have savoury scones which are fantastic. Their sweet offerings, both in bagels and pastries, shouldn't be missed either. The service is on par with the excellent food, and you can really tell that they love their job and their customers. There's always a smile behind the counter, even at the crazy busiest time, and the owners are often outside greeting people and getting to know their customers. The store gets the job done, but it's not as cozy as you might expect or want for the best bakery in Aiken. If they could make it a warmer feel with big plush armchairs I'm not sure I'd ever leave.

Anything else...cheese? OK, he was young and apparently in training and looking at the menu, I don't see a BLT listed. Really!!

I needed it. Next to the Bone-i-fida dog biscuits and Ace Hardware this little shop sits with it's little screen door and two cases full of goodness.

I get two, the seasonal and the red velvet. I try not to notice the other case, full of delightful little cookies (italian wedding, chocolate chip, really fun sugar -they have 200+ cookie cutter shapes!). Moral of the story?

White Chocolate Cherry Cookie- this was devoured by my husband, who said it was very good. 2. Lemon square- It was unlike any other lemon square I have ever had- and I really enjoyed it. The shortbread crust was perfect, and VERY thick- but again excellent flavor and not under done. The lemon topping, was not to sweet or too tart- I would have liked more of it. But I would go back for this. 3. Lemon Spritz Cookie ( I cannot remember what they called it) They were BAD. I mean something is wrong with that recipe. 4. Oreo Cheesecake- Again my husband ate this. It was in a cupcake wrapper, he enjoyed it. Not the best he has ever had- but good. 5. White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake- It was not to good. This one was too dense- flavor was only okay. 6. Red Velvet Cupcake- The cake was pretty good- they nailed the red velvet flavor- tangy, without too much chocolate. The Icing however was not so good. It had chunks of nuts in it that really ruined it for me- and the overall flavor or the icing could have been better. Today's total was $8.71...It will probably be a long time ( again) before I go back....
