I can't wait to see the place busy! the girl working the counter was sweet and helped us out pretty quick. I loved the painted mural and what i didn't show was the 2 Mirrors on the right side of the wall- it's a super cute addition to the place. Can't wait to come on my lunch break again. thank you!

Celiac / GF Review: Great service and friendly atmosphere. When we mentioned a gluten allergy, they…read moreasked if it was celiac to limit cross contamination as much as possible. We appreciate that! Pizzas were amazing ! The GF crust was airy and thick Sicilian style. We always appreciate GF pies that are not your typical cauliflower crust cardboard type. Bonus for non-GF folks, there is a brewery right next door, although they also serve seltzers. I would put this GF pizza right up there with Blue Pan Pizza's GF Detroit style in Denver/Golden, CO, Belladina's Pizzeria GF Sicilian style in Greenville, South Carolina and Tony's GF Sicilian and Detroit styles in San Francisco! You won't be disappointed! -Peetza Dahut

I stopped here to have dinner with the family after a long drive from the Bay Area in California…read more We were in Oregon to watch our son graduate from Oregon State. Go Beavs! After a long drive and getting settled in to the hotel we decided to go get some grub. Pizza was the consensus. We walked from our hotel to New York Squares. When we walked in we were immediately greeted. The first thing I noticed were the NY Giants pictures on the wall. Pretty cool. The atmosphere was pretty nice. You feel like you're inside a pizzeria in Brooklyn. We ordered the The Grandma and a Pepperoni. The pizza was crispy around the edges, but soft in the middle. For everyone but me the grandma was the favorite. I personally loved the pepperoni. The pizza was overall good, not my all-time favorite, but a solid 4 out of 5. The owner was awesome and the atmosphere was great too. When we're back in Independence (we love Independence) we'll definitely be back for another pie or two.

The food is made fresh every meal and the taste shows it! It feels very homemade with a hint of business, if that makes sense? The service is great, with it being small the fear may be too little staff to stretch all responsibilities however, based on our experience they communicate and flow seamlessly together as a team! If you're looking for a good, welcoming, and comforting breakfast this is the place! With even sweet treats available!

Sugar Lilly Cupcakes is a cupcake booth found at the Saturday Market in Salem, Oregon. FYI, they…read moretravel from nearby Independence, with no brick-and-mortar place yet, to my knowledge. I had passed by Sarah's booth several times in the past, just never actually stopping for a cupcake. With my sweet tooth in maximum overdrive on a sunny mid-June day, I figured that was as good a time as any to check it out. Sarah Lilly has been baking all her life, but only started selling cupcakes earlier this year. Looking at her business Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/SugarLillyGourmetCupcakes), she has several cupcake choices, rotating several flavors in and out from week to week. Sarah will have about 10 choices overall each week, with 7-8 regular cupcake flavors and about 2-3 gluten-free options. All cupcakes are $3. The gluten-free cupcakes intrigued me, and I grew even more interested when Sarah mentioned she uses black beans instead of a gluten-free flour mix. I went with a gluten-free mocha cupcake this time. It's a chocolate cupcake topped with coffee buttercream frosting, coffee sprinkles, and a chocolate-covered espresso bean. What a delicious cupcake! The cocoa powder masks the black beans, to the point where it really tastes like your everyday chocolate cupcake. Even better, the texture of the actual cupcake remains unchanged. Every component is amazingly light, including the coffee buttercream. I love the simple garnishing of coffee sprinkles and single chocolate-covered espresso bean. Regarding the "regular" cupcakes, there are several delectable options, including S'mores, Guinness chocolate, Snickers, Mexican Hot Chocolate, and Apple Spice cupcake choices. Panda gasp! Again, selections vary from week to week, and Sarah posts the Saturday Market menu on her business Facebook page several days in advance. I've only had one of her many cupcakes, but I definitely want more! I could see myself going on a cupcake bender and eating a dozen of these in one sitting. Check the Sugar Lilly booth out!

We'll be back for more!!
