I loved the location as it highlighted SODO (South of Downtown) and brought a hipster sorta vibe. Access to the location was super easy and parking was plentiful. You could try for a spot in front of the suite (across from TJ Maxx) or do what I did and park in the Target parking garage. The goal of this pop up shop is to highlight local and small businesses and artisans . There was a little of something for everything: Project Pop and their organic popcorn Cloak and Dapper had clothing and grooming tools for purchase Wondermade marshmallows Rifle Paper Co. (Stationary and cards) Whisk & Bowl (cooking & kitchen tools) J&G Chocolates (yay for samples) Orlando Doesn't Suck t-shirts These are only a handful of the businesses that were represented. Spa Privee was also there providing mini massages. It's definitely a great way to check out all those small businesses you see around town but all in one place. I also noticed they are offering special craft/art workshops(for a fee) throughout the weekend event so definitely worth checking out the schedule. For purchases, you pay at the front table next to the front door. Unfortunately only credit cards are accepted so keep that in mind. Looks like they are bringing out a few food trucks for the weekend event open to the public so it's a great way to incorporate date night with food and shopping! Plus you can get cute photos taken of yourselves playing shuffleboard!

The folks from the Daily City have brought together an interesting mix of local businesses in a very hipster-ish format. This is a great chance to check out some smaller businesses you may miss otherwise. I was able to go to the preview night last night with some friends. The shop was easy to find on the corner by the Target and TJ Maxx. There was street parking and also parking in the Target garage. The shop is set up with creative window displays and signs outside to let you know you've found the place. The format of the shop wasn't what I was expecting at all. I was expecting something more like a traditional market with different stalls for each business. There was a variety of businesses represented but the products were displayed like a traditional store with all of the products mixed together, not divided by brand. Since I am a super planner I had looked at the Daily City site before going to the shop and had an idea of the products I was interested in buying. The selection in the shop turned out to be pretty small and there weren't salespeople, so I ended up not buying anything. I specifically wanted to pick up an "Orlando Doesn't Suck" shirt. I completely missed the shirts on my first pass through the store until someone pointed out a small selection of them in the bottom drawer of a dresser. It was a pretty display, but not very functional. I honestly didn't want to mess up the display, so I ended up skipping the shirt (maybe I'll go back later in the week and get one once somebody else has messed up the nice folding). There were a ton of great products, fancy marshmallows, cool clothes, flower headbands, stationary, etc. And if you don't feel like shopping, there's shuffleboard. It's a fun and unique shopping experience.

There was a person sitting by their register and another person talking with a family. They never greeted me or asked me what I was looking for or interested in. So I grabbed a carrot cake and stepped aside to the register. Person never said anything. I paid with my card, $6.00. I thanked her! Not trying to be rude, but I would think a small business trying to make it in the Oviedo mall would be a little more friendly! The cake was very good! I will return and see if it's the same. A simple thank you goes a long way!

The drinks are pricey but very good. I was also extremely impressed with the smash burger and various apps, considering they are known exclusively for their specialty drinks. The biggest downside is that you can't try them all, especially with reservations limited to 2 hours! Only other critique - it is extremely hard to have a conversation here. Tables are crammed in and the music is turned up, overall very loud environment.

When she mentioned icecream.... Shaved ice my brain lit up and I suggested Koko. She was down! And it was honestly the best decision we made.We didn't want something so heavy but needed the sweet/cool and this delivered. My only issue........ is the red beans. I kept them even though I'm not a fan, but wanted to give them a chance. Let's just say it felt like I was eating Hispanic black beans but that's just my opinion. I'm pretty sure most people will read this and say I'm the crazy one. I will be coming back to try all the other flavors of shaved ice just no beans

They usually post on their instagram at the beginning of the week what their locations will be. The owner was so willing to help and put together flowers to see what I liked best. Loved how you can pick what you want and each flower is priced so you can see how much you're spending. The bouquet as a whole was a little pricey but you are paying for the experience as well as the flowers. It is first come, first serve so if you see something you like definitely go early so it doesn't sell out. My flowers stayed for about 2 weeks too with minimal care!

We were looking for something refreshing to drink, but nothing that was just packed full of sugar. The Juice World's cold-press drinks fit the bill. First and foremost, the women who helped us were so sweet and kind. They were very informative and attentive. Service was excellent. Additionally, they offered so many drink options - which was GREAT! So, fret not, they are sure to offer something that should tickle your fancy. As for me, I went with their Mystical Dragon flavor, which contained the following ingredients: - Dragon Fruit - Pineapple - Apple - Orange - Lemon It was 16oz. of AMAZINGNESS! Again, I am so HAPPY my mom and I stopped at this tent. I cannot remember the flavor my mom got, but it definitely contained ginger. She loved her drink as well. 10 out of 10! I will be sure the next time I'm at Lake Eola for their Farmer's Market, that I stop by their tent. I hope this company continues to grow, and I'm looking forward to trying more of their drink options.
