The staff was really friendly and we enjoyed both our lattes and oat cakes (a Nova Scotian specialty). The space is quite cozy and kid-friendly with high chairs and changing tables in the bathrooms.

We also had the chocolate chip pumpkin loaf, and it was so good! Highly recommend!

I have to admit: I'm a little disappointed. When my friends invited me to go, they even forewarned…read moreme that I shouldn't expect much. And they were right. Don't get me wrong: this isn't a slight against the organizers of the market or the fine vendors. It's ... Well, there aren't many vendors. Or customers. And the venue itself is a bit awkward. If you haven't been (and you really should give it a try!) you may have trouble finding the entrance. It's actually "around back." You park in front of a rather generic-looking building and have to walk around to find the actual entrance. Once you're in, the space is fine: two long hallways with vendors on either side. Sometimes the vendors will even set up shop outside. About the vendors - those that are there are great; a good selection of arts, crafts, coffees, baked goods, and, of course, fresh produce and the like. But there are a lot of empty tables, too. I can see why - none of the times that I've gone has it been especially busy. I hope Sydney starts to appreciate this little gem so it will grow, expand and improve its services.
