Paul's Fruit Market is a Louisville staple and, in my opinion, a must stop for anyone who cares…read moreabout good food. Fresh fruits and vegetables, local products, prepared foods, a solid butcher counter, and even seasonal essentials all in one place. It is honestly a perfect little grocer. I have been coming here my entire life, and that consistency is part of what makes it special. No matter how much the city grows or changes, Paul's always feels like Paul's. This Christmas morning, I stopped in to grab fruit and it felt like the rest of the city had the same idea. Busy, lively, and still incredibly well run. This year alone, my family ordered firewood from Paul's for the winter and also had them cater Thanksgiving. Both were excellent. That kind of range says a lot. You can pick up beautiful produce, plan a holiday meal, grab something ready to eat, or take care of seasonal needs without bouncing all over town. If you are a Louisville native, I truly hope you already know Paul's Fruit Market. And if you are new to the city or just passing through, this should not be an "if you know, you know" situation. This is one of those places that defines the community. Go once and you will understand why people keep coming back for decades.

After a visit to Yew Del Gardens we stopped at Paul's on the way home. Their peaches and plums were…read moreno more expensive than Kroger's and actually much better. We also bought a 1/2 apple caramel pie that was a bit more expensive than the supermarket variety but definitely worth it. You can't go wrong with Paul's Fruit Market.

How have I been sleeping on Paul's Fruit Market?…read more I popped in here to try and find some locally made sweets to give away as gifts. I found those, as well as a bounty of excellent looking produce and one of the largest collections of local goods and groceries I've seen. A clerk pointed me to their local chocolates and candies section, and I was able to get some bourbon balls and modjeskas -- dark chocolate modjeskas, in fact, a first for me. And during my short trip, I noticed several local brands represented, as well as great options for pre-made meals. I feel like Paul's would also be fun to shop at for a party. You could find lots of dips and other party foods to show off. A few years ago I also ordered some fruit baskets here for my kid's teachers. They were a hit, and it was nice to know that our class' money was going to a local business. I will definitely be back here!

Just say yes. All these and more are available for anyone brave enough to turn the page. I visited recently on a coffee date with a friend. There is limited seating - several tables with un-cushioned chairs and one comfy couch that was unfortunately occupied by a man reading a book during our visit. Despite sore bottoms we enjoyed our visit, which included lattes and a substantial almond croissant. My almond milk latte was delicious and my friend said the almond croissant is one of her favorites. Pricing is as expected for an establishment of this type in the Highlands - not a deal, but not ridiculous. They also have a punch card that allows repeat customers to get a free drink on their 10th visit.

It's right across from the fire station (kids love fire trucks), in the church parking lot. Dogs aren't allowed so bring a friend to hold her while you shop. You can eat your breakfast together at one of the tables right there at the church outside of the Farmers Market. Parking is available on the street or across the street at another church. It's a great place to hangout for a bit, let the kids explore, eats farm fresh, literally, breakfast, get some great goodies for the week, and RELAX (it's the weekend). This Farmers Market is large enough to give you everything you need or want, and small enough to walk around and still keep an eye on your kids or quickly find a friend to compare your treasures. I love the breakfast omelet, the music is always good and sometimes really, really good. And the people are always friendly and fun. I walk there, but it is worth the drive, and then you can walk around a bit!

After…read moreseeing the sign and driving by the tents for a few weeks in a row, my son, mother-in-law and I finally stopped by. This market had about a 10 vendors, and while this wasn't overflowing with vendors, they had a lot of the farmers market bases covered. We saw meat, veggie, flower, candle, snacks and drink vendors. Foxhollow Farm, Field Day Family Farm and Berserker Coffee were among the vendors. All of the vendors were very nice and eager to talk about their products. A couple even gave my son free flowers, which he was so excited to carry around until he pulled all of the petals out. :-P We ended up coming home with a couple bouquets, pulled pork, burnt ends, peaches, lettuce and microgreens. We will be back in the coming weeks and are excited to see this market grow.

This has been high on my list of places to visit for a long time. It didn't disappoint and was a…read morespecial place. It was smaller than I had imagined but it packs a mighty punch. The food - A lot of variety of sandwiches to choose from. My Turkey sandwich was packed with meat that overwhelmed the regular slices of bread. I had to add to it to bring flavor to it and would recommend adding thicker slices of bread to it. The baked were good. Loved the variety of fruit options, frozen items, fresh meat, and other things to try out. Garden section - Didn't know this existed in here. A variety of plants and flowers to choose from. Customer service- It was top notch from the counter and front store cashiers. Everyone was nice and on point. They kept lines moving which I appreciated too. So this is on my store rotation to try new things here!

We pulled up to a line out the door. Seems like a good sign if that many people are interested. As…read morewe wove our way to the front of the line, several items in the store caught my attention. Several of the sauces look worth a taste. We arrived at the front of the line, and the line remained out the door. We ordered a corned beef on rye and a roast beef on white. We found our new favorite sandwich place. Total was $15.90 paid in cash. The bread was delicious. The meat was delicious. The veggies were fresh. The cheese was flavorful. We'll be back on a Thursday for the ribeye sandwich. We'll be back for the burger, the pork chop, and the ribs. There is a menu full of items we want to try because the deli sandwich was great. Highly recommend!

We generally only come here once a year, which is for our Christmas tree and for their kick-ass…read morecandy. I don't know why it's never crossed our minds to stop by more than once a year, but maybe that'll change? They have a wonderful selection of tress and each year we find one that we think is the perfect size however when we get it home it's almost too big (Christmas tree shopping probz). Their prices are about average and they have a selection of trees for $20 or less -- they tend to have floppy flimsy limbs that don't hold ornaments as well, but they work in a pinch. Immediately upon arrival you are greeted by the guys who work there and they let it be known that they are more than happy to help you find anything you need. We didn't need much help as we only looked for ten minutes or less and we found the tree that we wanted. It only cost us around $30. We showed the employee and he told us to go inside to pay and by the time we got out it was already by the car. While we were inside I had to browse the candy that they have there as well. Who can say no to some sweets during the holidays? I ended up walking out with some snow-caps, peanut brittle, chocolate covered almonds and chocolate turtles for less than $9. Not a bad deal at all. When we got back out they were ready with the tree and they even tied it to the roof for us and it didn't budge the whole way! They also have wonderful wreaths. It's hard to pass them up each year, however we already have a decoration for the front door, so while hard, we end up passing them by each year. Great customer service, great old-fashioned candy and a great selection of trees to bring home for the holiday season. Visit if for no other reason than to get some treats, friendly service and leave with a smile.

He walked my coffee back inside and requested they warm it, which they did, but I left curious how fresh it was. I'm glad to see this location of Ntaba continue. When I mention it to people, most are not aware of the business. It is quiet - other than driving by, I don't think I see much promotion of it. Today's experience won't cause me to rush back, but I'd stop by when I'm in the area.
