If you're into dips and spreads, they offer a variety of soup mixes, syrups, honeys and jams meant to pair with spreadable cheeses or to serve as a charcuterie board accoutrement. They also sell some adorable kitchen decor. I regularly order the baja chipotle turkey sandwich and cheddar biscuits, but what keeps me coming back is their pumpkin muffin with chocolate chips. They make it in a tea cake to take home if you are in a sharing mood or just prefer this indulgence sliced, warmed and topped with a thin layer of melted butter like I do.

A Nashville staple I somehow didn't know about!…read more I've ordered the quiche from here at work so many times that I honestly thought this was just a bakery. Turns out, I've been missing out! We stopped in one morning specifically to pick up the quiche, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out they actually serve a full breakfast. Naturally, we decided to stay and have breakfast--and I'm so glad we did. The atmosphere is super family-friendly and has that cozy, homey feel you'd expect from a neighborhood bakery. The food was fresh, comforting, and tasted like something you'd get at home. The menu also has plenty of options, so there's something for everyone. Service was excellent! We were seated right away, and our waiter was friendly, attentive, and took the time to explain everything in detail. Parking is another plus--there's plenty available in the plaza. Definitely a Nashville staple that deserves more attention. I came for the quiche and left knowing I need to come back for breakfast!

But the food is absolutely worth the wait, and it is a very pleasant place to hang out at. Once we discovered Oh My Chives we've been trying to stop by every weekend. Delicious! Definitely check it out!

The sandwiches came out first which had bacon, egg, cheese, avocado and some sort of semi sweet aoli that went perfectly with it. I could eat this every day. You could taste the freshness of the locally sourced ingredients too. The lattes were delicious and we are harsh critics. Having house made syrups is ESSENTIAL for a good coffee. Perfect amount of sweetness and flavor while still allowing that coffee flavor to shine. The atmosphere was busy and loud (a good thing for the business) and the service was quick and friendly. Would recommend!!

When I scanned the reviews of potential local restaurants I wanted to visit for breakfast, I was…read moresurprised to find my name already on the Half Way listing. Then....I saw that my review was a decade ago! (That was back when it was a little farther out of town and in a smaller place. So, I came back, anew, to enjoy again. Hands down, this is a friendly establishment with a staff that is welcoming, polite, helpful...and ready to serve you. The interior is open and sports a nostalgic look with large tables accompanied by old (but sturdy) mismatched, carved-high back chairs. Yes, you can sit by yourself, but if it's busy....scoot over and invite a new friend to join you. Most tables seat 6 or 8 -- more "communal" style in a sense. Step up to the counter and order from the solid, albeit mundane, menu: eggs to order, meat side, potatoes, biscuit & toast...gravy if you like. They'll bring it to your table. Nothing fancy. My wife's eggs were scrambled, but not fluffy....rather flat like an unfilled omelet. My over easy eggs were close to perfection and oozed a rich yolk sauce on my deep fried potato cake. Yes, I would have preferred authentic hash browns or "home fries". But this worked for the occasion. Biscuits were buttery and tender. Coffee - average. Sausage patty appeared to be cut from a commercial roll - fried well and tasty. My wife's bacon was absolutely to her liking (hard to get right sometimes). But her's was spot on: very crisp, not burned. Lots of grab and go sandwiches for sale....check out other reviews and photos. Before you leave, pick up a couple of fried pies. (Ten yeara ago I had the peach - yummy. This timr we took home both apple and cherry. Slightly - not overly sweet fillings and a great afternoon treat. Dough was slightly different this visit. (You can see that in my pics...if Yelp still has them available.) As for the "Market" aspect of the name....that is a bit of a mystery - not a lot of market goods were readily visible. Oh!...be careful parking. The unmarked "street side" parking is tight and cars can come barreling down Hill Street. There is apparently more parking on the back side (towards downtown area). All-in-all the vibe was a bit like my Grandma's Country Store (1940-50s) a place where I was born and raised...friendly, comforting, congenial. And, a return for lunch is in order - the menu sounds inviting ... I hope another 10 years doesn't pass before I make it back for that. PS: very clean restrooms available too.

It is our loss that she is no longer in Connecticut and truly a great gain for the people of Franklin. I have had passed through Tennessee and the Nashville area a few times since she has located there, and I have made it my mission to stop by her place whenever possible to stock up on those Tasty Good Eats for the ride home. And I must say that her treats are just as wonderful now in Franklin as they were in Connecticut. Wishing her well down in TN. M

I saw this business on TikTok. We do not have an Italian Deli here so I was interested in trying…read morethis one out in Columbia, TN. We drove up on Wednesday to check it out. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted. Inside is clean with 4 tables for sitting inside to eat. The restaurant is small and cutely decorated. The display cases with meats, cheeses and different salads and condiments looked great. The deli meats for the subs is sliced very thin. We started with lasagna and garlic bread that Dave and I shared. The filling had beef and Italian sausage and it was delicious. The cheese pull was good and not too much. The red sauce was very good. 5/5 We ordered foods to go after eating the lasagna in store. I failed to take a picture of the lasagna. Suffice it to say it was inhaled quickly. We tried the eggplant panini in store too. Everything else was to go. I ordered a Bruno Sub and asked for roasted red peppers to be added. Honestly I couldn't taste the roasted red peppers as there weren't very many added. There was a thin slice of 1 onion ring on the sub so I couldn't taste any onion at all. For me that's a fail as I like to taste ingredients. 4/5 The eggplant panini came with a side of marinara. I have had eggplant panini's before and was anticipating this one. When I saw it, I was very disappointed. There were 2 very thin slices of eggplant inside a sub roll that had been put in a panini press or under bricks to smash the bread down. The only taste was bread. Marinara was good but couldn't rescue the panini. 1/5 We bought 1 arancini and it came with marinara. I heated it up along with the marinara. One bite in and I was sold. I would definitely go back and order arancini again. The meat inside was flavored well and the marinara made everything come together well. 5/5 We ordered a pastrami. For us there was way too much fat and we couldn't remove the fat like we can in a Jewish deli because this meat was sliced paper thin. 3/5 The potato salad was lacking in flavor to me. There was a significant amount of mayo in my opinion. Dave liked it. 3/5 The marinated artichokes were delicious and so were the white bean salad. 5/5 Dave ordered a Super Sub. It had 4 meats plus lettuce, tomato, and cheese. There was a tiny sliver of onion but we couldn't taste it. He loved his sub. 5/5 The two cannoli's were delicious. I favored the vanilla and Dave favored the chocolate. 5/5 We will return as the food was good. If you are missing an Italian Deli taste, please stop by. This place makes everything from scratch. It was worth the trip.
