There are a number of eager employees to help get your tree ready to take home and loaded, too. Inside, you'll find employees who will help you design custom wreaths,too. In the market, there is a well stocked fish counter and lobsterpound, too. Aside from that, there are fresh veggies and a huge stock of fresh baked goodies. The employees were all super nice, too. This will be the place we get our tree from now on!

When checking out they will ask if you want to round up your total bill to donate to charity - I love that concept!

No, not really. EVERYTHING in that case is FABULOUS!!. My favorite is the Key Lime Pie, you can tell it's made there. The eclairs, cream puffs, the"yodel" slice. The muffins are great too. I often get a few entrees for work. The only negative is I wish they'd put more veggies and less rice in the platters, especially the grilled ones. Great macaroni salad!! The Thanksgiving sandwich is great, as well, the lobster roll. The people are all so friendly, helpful. The store is always clean and very well stocked. I recommend this place to everyone. If you can't find something that suits your taste, that's a tough one.

Really surprised at the condition of the salad bar/soup area. The soups were totally almost done…read moreand should have been removed. The salad bar area was dirty and some of the sections needed attention. I waited at the counter to buy desserts and I was just looked at a few times and not helped. Finally a young man making sandwiches noticed me and got the attention of an older guy who was cutting up some meat. He had looked at me a couple of times, but never helped me until the young man motioned for him to. There was virtually no one in there. So, not because it was busy.

The absolute best avocado toast I've ever had--beautiful and delicious!…read more I ordered takeout from Friendly Toast recently, in Portland and their avocado toast was truly the best I have ever had. Not only was it delicious, but it came with unique toppings that made it absolutely beautiful to look at. The flavor profile was completely impeccable.The takeout packaging kept everything intact and fresh. I would highly recommend ordering the avocado toast to anyone looking for a premium, high-quality breakfast or brunch option!

The wait staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and made sure to check in often. 3.5/5 - food. This was difficult because of the Portland food scene being so competitive. Overall, it was just average. The homemade hot sauce has the tiniest kick, but adds good flavor. Dishes were unique but didn't come off as anything to write home about.

It's been a decade plus since my original review, so I thought I'd update it!…read more Since then the PFM on Wednesdays is now *also* located in the picturesque (and much easier to park in) Deering Oaks from mid April to late November, 7am to 1pm (while the winter market takes place only on Saturdays inside on Stevens Ave from early December to early April, 9am to 1pm). From the Portland Farmers Market: " Featuring over 30+ Maine farmers. From artichokes to zucchini, if you can grow it here, you'll probably find it IN season and fresh! Also eggs, meat, cheese, milk, ferments, flowers, fibers, honey, and more! Farm products exclusively." Yes, it is all things local in beautiful abundance! I like that many of the vendors are the same from Saturday to Wednesday; but there's just something slightly more lowkey about the Wednesday market. It's a smaller crowd, a more relaxed vibe, the vendors are unhurried and have more space to chat, and it seems like more locals are intentionally out to shop/support their local farmer. I usually know exactly what I want when I come here, but it's nice to be able to slow down and take time to really look around without being bumped into/having to worry about something selling out.

Just look at that gorgeous haul from today's farmers' market here in Portland! Cute tiny tomatoes…read moreand big juicy ones of different colors and varieties; eggplants; cabbage; garlic and shallots, and something called torpedo onions; tons of peppers, both to eat raw in salads and cook with (check out those purple ones!); super-fresh summer corn; herbs and flowers; dill pickles. I also snagged some blueberries and radish microgreens. I'll be eating verrrryyyyy well for the next several days, that's for sure. While you'll find a larger selection at the bigger Saturday market, when it's peak produce season like it is now the tables will be overflowing with goodness on Wednesdays, too. And it's just a bit mellower, and always easy to find a place to park. All of the vendors are happy to talk with you about what they're selling and I enjoy that as much as everything I bring home! Practicalities: bring cash, because even though several vendors do take cards, not all of them do and there's usually a $10 minimum. Plus, cash enables you to spend a few bucks at several different tables if you want to (I mean, why not try a tomato or two from each?). And bring your tote bags to load up, to save on having to use any plastic or paper (which most vendors do have in some form). Most of all, just enjoy strolling through the park and seeing all the bounty on offer, and know you're supporting Maine farmers by buying local.

While there is more of a selection here for me, I wish the pre-made items had better labeling. I can't buy any of the baked goods because the labeling is insufficient. The produce selection is limited, but when I'm here I try to pick something up because I love buying local when I can. Some plusses is that Lois carries safe eggs and yogurt for me. It's the only place I've found safe eggs in the local area, so that makes me happy. On Mondays and Thursdays they usually have bread delivered from bread and friends in Portland, which is great. Wednesdays they do a senior discount. Due to the small size and selection, I usually have to go to another store to finish my shopping when I come here. But I'm happy it's here and am a consistent repeat customer.
