Dorothy Lane Market -- Mason, Ohio…read more
If you're looking for a grocery store that feels like Whole Foods--but better, check out Dorothy Lane Market in Mason!
I stopped in today and, as always, ended up finding way more than I planned.
First, you absolutely cannot leave without trying the bakery. I picked up their pecan salted caramel brownies, and these things are KILLER ( thus their name Killer Brownies) They have one of the best bakery selections I've come across, and everything looked so fresh and tempting. I also grabbed some sourdough bread and a salted soft pretzel.
Their meat selection is fantastic too. We picked up some specialty brats, including Hawaiian brats with pineapple and brown sugar and Bourbon Peach brats. I also couldn't resist their gourmet blended burgers.
For my wife, I grabbed the Steakhouse Burger, which is infused with provolone, A.1. sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. For myself, I went with the Philly Burger, loaded with peppers, onions, and cheese sauce. Talk about taking burgers to another level!
Yes, Dorothy Lane Market is more expensive than your average grocery store, but you can really see and taste the difference in the quality. From the bakery to the specialty meats and prepared foods, this is definitely a place where you're paying for quality.
If you're a foodie--or just like discovering great specialty grocery stores--Dorothy Lane Market is worth the trip.
I walked in for a few things and walked out with enough food to plan several meals.
Five stars from me!
Another great food find in Ohio!
