When you walk in you're greeted by wonderful aromas and a smile from Buddy. Take time out and smell the honey.

I was rushed to leave at 5:00 PM even though the store closes at 7:00 PM on weekdays. I was also charged more than the shelf price, and the label hadn't been updated. I've found expired products being sold as well. The new management needs to improve customer service, keep prices accurate, and remove expired items.

Indian culture has always been something I wanted to explore. There is no better way to start or continue to learn about their culture then by experiencing their food. Food is something that bring us together no matter what nationality you are! I knew about Indian Grocery for many years but now all the stars are aligned and walked in to explore this store. We've eaten many dishes like Biryani, Tika Masala, Vindaloo, etc. at our Indian Restaurants. Today, we were focused on street food and snack. On our first visit on a Thursday afternoon, as we walked in, we saw a technician is fixing and working on a large refrigerator with the compressor on the floor. But other 5 large refrigerators are working fine! There is a small produce section available. It looks a little empty but they are expecting a delivery next day! They have a large selection of spices, flours, rice and other Indian dry goods. We picked up Khasta Kachori, Malai Kofta, Choley Bhatura and Chicken Vindaloo. At the checkout counter, we added 2 fresh Samosas. Khasta Kachori is a street food deep-fried and known for its crunchy shell and spiced filling inside. I consumed tea with Kachori but next time, I can use coriander chutney! I loved the spiciness but wife complained it is too hot! Fresh Samosa is filled with spices and peas. It is crunchy outside and soft inside. It is A+! Malai Kofta is cottage cheese and potato dumpling prepared in a mild spicy tomato gravy. We microwaved the Kofta and served over white rice and green peas for lunch. It is mildly spicy so my wife approved this dish! We have not tried the Choley Bhatura and Chicken Vindaloo yet! Will prepare for lunch next week! The Indian Grocery staff is friendly and warm! I'm sure we can pick some more items on our next visit. Another page in our Indian Culture and Food Exploration!

I came in on a mission...I wanted to cook a special dinner for a friend who absolutely loves Tadka Dal. I had a long list of authentic ingredients, many of which were completely unfamiliar to me coming from a very American cooking background. I was definitely wandering the aisles with that unmistakable "lost" look on my face. Before I could even ask for help, one of the store employees approached me with a big smile. His English was broken but his enthusiasm and confidence were crystal clear. He took one look at my list and immediately waved for me to follow him. From aisle to aisle, he moved with total authority and warmth, showing me exactly what I needed, explaining options, and helping me choose the right sizes and quantities. No upselling, no rushing...just genuine help. In a short amount of time, I had everything on my list and felt way more confident than when I walked in. The store itself is packed with variety but not overwhelming. Shelves were clean, no dust anywhere, which made it feel like products move and stay fresh. Prices were very fair, honestly better than what I found online, and portions were practical for home cooking. What really stood out was how welcomed I felt, especially when it was obvious I was out of my element. That kind of friendliness matters. If you're looking for authentic Indian groceries in the area, this place is fantastic. I'm genuinely excited to have found it and will absolutely be back.

The ice-cream brand changed but it's still a great tasting ice-cream. I like stopping here because. The market always has something new and interesting to try. This place is cool. It has little bit of everything. The market has some local items like honey, fruits, dog treats, natural med lol. My dog loved the dog treat. Around the property you can always see the people working the fields and greenhouse. The staff was super friendly. I found them helpful. This place looks like a nice place to work.

Really cute bakery & boutique located on a farm in Fort Denaud (between Alva & Labelle off Palm…read moreBeach Blvd). The owners have done an outstanding job creating an upscale farm feeling within the store. Many of the items come from their own farm - loofa, honey, balms, hibiscus drink, elderberry syrup, quail eggs. Plus they have other home items for purchase. Can't imagine how much work they put in to make this all happen. They make their own cinnamon rolls, which people seem to really like. They also offer donuts (don't make in house but there's no donut shop nearby so it's really nice to have this option), muffins, coffee/tea, and a few breakfast items like biscuits & gravy and chicken salad on croissant. they even offer a gluten-free muffin option, which was a nice offering. btw - appreciated the cute to go packaging for food we bought, which could easily be cut to trim expenses but made our purchase feel special. Their prices are quite reasonable and sizing is good. They're only open Thurs-Sat. Was happy to see a packed house during our visit. They've made their shop into a bit of a destination with patio seating out front (couple people were out there enjoying coffee), patio seating out back (some families and kids were out there eating & checking out the chickens), a communal table to eat indoors (people were sitting there having breakfast) and even a hay ride around the farm that was pretty full with people. The owner and gals who work there are quite lovely. Really glad they seem to be doing well and hope their success continues. Would recommend checking it out even if you don't live nearby. Would be a fun adventure with little kids or a nice opportunity to try a new coffee shop as a couple or with the ladies.

The produce can be great in season, but not much beyond what I would consider the farmer's staples. I'd love to think this will continue to grow with an expansion of vendors, but two years have already gone by, so I fear it's a false hope. Nonetheless, it's important to support any endeavors such as this, and I recommend you find time to give these small businesses support.

I love these types of local eateries, and I would have liked to have been able to give a higher star-rating but my food was just mediocre. I had an egg salad sandwich on toasted white bread. It was served with a small bag of Lays potato chips, and choice of pasta salad or cole slaw. I opted for the pasta salad. The egg salad and the pasta salad both had the same characteristic - very runny. Thus, my 3-star rating. My husband had french fries with his lunch which were delicious! They were the crinkle cut ones and cooked just to perfection! Optional indoor or outdoor seating. There's a little produce market on-site and I was thrilled to find Dakin Farms Chocolate milk!

You can even get something to eat at the Cracker Shack at the other end of their market but we didn't check it out this visit.
