I have been driving by this location every week and have always wanted to stop. I finally was…read moremotivated to stop when a great friend of mine bought me a gift card for my birthday! I decided to stop in and order take out. There were a lot of call-in tickets ahead of me and a few tables already waiting for their orders. She let me know it would be about 30 minutes. No problem. I was able to look over everything while waiting before settling into a very comfy leather chair right next to the door. Great vantage point to see all of the amazing treats they sell. They have donuts, scones, muffins, turnovers and dozens of fudge flavors!! I ordered a couple of donuts to go along with a blueberry turnover. SO GOOD!!! The donuts were perfectly fluffy and sweet and the turnover, flakey fruity and perfect! Great - fresh made to order breakfast sandwiches on a biscuit. They are satisfying - so tasty and filling! They are hearty. The couple that owns and runs this business are down to earth and authentic. I loved listening to them work together, it made me laugh when they had a disagreement, she apologized when I went to pick up and pay for my order. I told her, no need, it was like I was at a family home with real people having real conversations. I highly recommend this business and I look forward to using up the rest of my gift card and once that is done, I will be back for more yummy food.

This cafe/bakery offers a great selection of pastries, bagels, donuts, pies, and many other treats…read more They offer breakfast sandwiches, and a limited menu of lunch items...which you'll need to stop in and read the menu of blackboard for what they have on any given day. The selection of homemade fudge is truly the broadest I've seen anywhere. They offer a both traditional flavors, and interesting more unique flavors as well. Check out the photos. They also have a refrigerator sections with slices of pies, macaroons, and other treats all packed and ready to go. The service is very friendly, and it feels like you're stepping into a neighborhood shop where everyone knows each other...very welcoming vibe. The day me and my family stopped in, we were hungry for breakfast. We tried the pumpkin spice crumble muffin, the bacon/egg/cheddar on a croissant sandwich, and a cinnamon maple something pastry. All of it was DELICIOUS! All very fresh and made with love. The breakfast sandwich was one of the best I've had...the bacon and cheese was high quality, and the flavors blended so beautifully. There are a few things tables, and a couple of comfy chairs for eating in. We will definitely go back.

I asked him what was a favorite dessert, and he and the lady in the back told me the chocolate cheesecake. The chocolate cheesecake was so good! It was light and fluffy with a nice chocolate crust. My family split it with me and we all loved it. I was very curious to try the Dubai chocolate cup, and also liked it very much. This layered cut up strawberries with pistachio cream coating what seemed like granola, layered with chocolate. The chocolate was almost like a cool version of hot fudge. The pistachio cream mixed with the granola was very tasty. I have had the pistachio cream mixed with the kataifi, but Hailey's version was much tastier. Went very well with the fresh strawberries and chocolate. This bakery has other options besides the pastries, such as breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and lunch sandwiches as well as smoothies. They also have a full coffee menu, including bubble tea! While the pastry selection was not extensive, they have several options of things to satisfy. The two items I tried were excellent and I will definitely be back to try other things, including lunch. The waitstaff were friendly and helpful. Convenient storefront with plenty of parking.

The girl at the counter was super nice & helpful. They were out of all breakfast sandwiches when we came at 10AM. The food was alright. I ordered the toasted muffuletta which was decent. The sea salt caramel cookie was good but definitely on the richer side. We ate at a picnic table by the flower garden, and that was nice&peaceful. Overall, a quaint market with local charm.

I was pleased to find out that I could also grab a latte, to go, from Ritual. The space is beautiful and the staff was wonderful! I was a bit skeptical of the breakfast sandwich, as it looked like it would be mostly bread (not sustenance), but I was wrong. Inside that pillowy (I assume potato-based roll) was a delicious egg, bacon and special sauce combination! I will be stopping here again, in the future!

Hopefully I can talk myself out of visiting again today.

I stopped in after searching for Hop Water and saw on the Hop Water website the Good Life Market sold it. I arrived about a half hour before close so I was one of few customers and ended up buying a ton and wanting more. First, I found a 4 pack of beer that had JUST been released in Burlington VT and then Portland ME (collaboration beer) and immediately grabbed it. Absolute score! I was super impressed with the beer selection, both refrigeratorated and on the shelf, plus N/A options, hop waters, mixers, you name it. Before I even made it to the beer section I was drawn to the prepared food because I was hungry and knew I would have to prepare something when I got home. I got smoked ribs (probably a half rack) for $11.99, Cole slaw and a broccoli bacon salad. They had multiple refrigerators and freezers with everything you can imagine, frozen Slab pizza, health drinks, locals meats, local ice cream, etc. I noticed a huge wall of local coffee so I will be going back to hopefully find espresso beans, which are challenging to come by. I didn't notice inside seats but that would be a good addition. For the ribs, I wrapped them in foil and baked at 350 for 20-30 minutes. I was so happy to find real food, prepped for easy reheating. I will definitely be back with my husband to order sandwiches and pick up more goodies.

Employees here are always friendly. Their food is always well-made and is of excellent quality. Prices are a bit on the high end hence the 4 stars. Pictured here is their Hometown Chef Salad and The Good Life Club. My stepson and I ended up sharing as the portions are huge. We even got 3 servings out of the salad. These two items are highly recommended. This market also has some fresh produce, several cheese options, interesting snacks and pantry items. Stop by and support local whenever you can!

Our order was placed on Sept. 23 and we needed it for Oct. 6. Not only was she awesome to work with but the 3 layer cake she made was delicious. She delivered the finished cake to our church the morning of the wedding and had it all decorated to perfection. We ordered a 3 tier wedding cake and each layer was a different flavor but all were equally decadent. The bottom layer was a vanilla cake with strawberry/raspberry mixed filling, the middle was a coconut cake with chocolate ganache filling and the top layer was a coconut cake with the strawberry/raspberry filling. The favors of each layer were the right amount of sweet, you can tell she is an artist in her craft. We will absolutely be ordering from her again! Thank you for making the cake so perfect and helping to make Our Day so special!
