Sanwa Farmer's Market is a busy, casual market that offers a wide variety of fresh produce, meats,…read moreand everyday grocery items at generally affordable prices. It has a very local, no-frills feel, and it's more about practicality than presentation. The experience is generally solid, especially if you're looking for fresh ingredients or bulk shopping. It can get crowded and a bit hectic at times, but that's part of the typical market atmosphere.

Visited Sanwa this past week to get some fresh veggies and other things…read more This was my first time here and my friend Jenny walked me through the place showing everything Sanwa has to offer. It is open to the public and it does get super busy in the afternoon so I would try to get there early. The parking lot is a little tight to pull into, but not terrible. Inside you will find huge items in bulk and all your groceries store essentials. Also the have wholesale items and all kinds of international stuff to make different cuisines, plus containers, plating, etc.. They have a really nice meat section and fruits and vegetables section as well. I was able to get everything I need plus more for the week.

I got large 2 bunches of bananas, 2 large onions, a Kent mango, a FL avocado, 4 ears of corn, a large yellow squash, over a pound each of green beans and snow pea pods, and a dozen large farm eggs, all for $13.50! There's lots of plants there too. It's fairly close to Fletcher/I-75 and Morris Bridge Rd. I have finally found my regular fruit and veggie market!

They keep the warehouse 61-66° which must be great for the fresh foods. Prices beat Publix in avocados, strawberries, and more. I loved the "defect" section where foods past their date are offered at 0.45cent/lb. It reminds me of the company that saves "ugly" produce from grocery stores to resell at a discount.

Lots of selections. As stated by other others in the review section, prices are quite good here. Most vegetables/fruit are fairly fresh. Several weren't 100% fresh, but as a shopper, if you have some care and due diligence you will find many great items. When we went there they definitely had the AC/coolers on . So as a person, if you tend to run cold wear a jacket in here. I would rather see that so that they are keeping all their products cool to increase shelf life. Girl at counter was very friendly, and had a good attitude. This is a much better alternative than the local grocery stores.

If it's strawberry season, I'm heading to Parksdale to pick up some strawberries and grab a sweat…read moretreat. The "world famous" strawberry milkshakes live up to the hype and are well worth any wait in line. I love how creamy they are and the fact that they include chunks of strawberries. Don't sleep on just a plain bowl of strawberries with whipped cream either. I normally find myself wanting more strawberries after a milkshake, and the bowl of strawberries is the perfect compliment. As for the lines, they can be pretty long. But they do a really good job at making the lines move quickly. The prices are also very reasonable. The market also has all sorts of fresh veggies, fruits, and strawberry related items, like jams, breads, and even cookies!

PLEASE NOTE: STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE SEASON STARTS IN JANUARY. Apparently there's a season for the…read morestrawberry shortcake. I was driving from Tampa to Orlando in August and saw a bunch of signs for the "world famous" strawberry shortcake but couldn't get any :( there should really be a sign that details when the shortcake is available if it isn't going to be available year round but those signs are. It was pretty disappointing not being able to have it. I opted to get a strawberry bread (apparently it's always season for that) when I was there and it was really good! I wasn't quite in the mood for a milkshake, but the milkshakes are supposedly good here as well. Besides the strawberry treats, there is a whole store inside with a variety of jams, hot sauces, and merchandise as well as fresh fruit and veggies for sale. The seating area is really adorable (you can see it in the picture I posted). I guess I'll just have to come back during shortcake season to let you know if it's worth the "world famous" title.

But I never buy anything because I've no idea how to use it, but I still stop and stare anyway. To the left is a cool refrigerator with a glass door showcasing sauces and guacamole with other prepared foods, this is a display case that I do actively participate in. Just below are two hot coolers that are insulated holding the heat in to keep the tamales and corn tortillas warm. $8. For 5 with your choice of chicken or cheese both are absolutely delicious, served in corn husks with a generous cup of red or green sauces. This is the thru area, a walkway to go left or right. Right takes you to the bagged snacks also of Mexican descent more candies, hot sauces bags of beans, rice with some products you'd use in your kitchen and bathroom. I'm always good for buying a new hot sauce to try out and keep a record of my taste buds findings. Left is a narrow little path with fresh flour tortillas, some sugary light pastries, two shuffle steps right and your in the meat case. Pre prepared seasoned meats (and non seasoned) sell by the pound, so if your having company or just wanna give the family a special Sunday night dinner, buy the seasoned meats, set and go in the oven. You'll be thought of as the finest cook in town. Sweeping right turn takes you into the produce area with fresh vegetables and fruits. Jose's is a real market in that you'll need not ship anywhere else for your food, assuming you're eating as much Mexican based foods as I am. Meats and produce hold no such ethnic divide. Everything is well laid out, well labeled and we'll described by the lineages of workers and Jose's daughter who I love to talk to. She's a smart business lady with a view of the world that I very much relate to in my current journey to find my animal spirit and totem spirit, I'm right about there.

I stopped into Lakeview Farm Store today for the first time, and I was so impressed. My son and…read moredaughter have been shopping here for a while, and after tasting their dairy products, I was blown away by how delicious they were. What makes this place even more special is their commitment to organic, regeneratively sourced foods from local farms that follow organic and regenerative farming practices. It's reassuring to know the produce is grown without harmful chemicals while supporting healthier soil and sustainable agriculture. This family-owned and operated farm store is a true gem. If you're looking for fresh, high-quality food and want to support a local business that genuinely cares about what they offer, I highly recommend stopping by!

This is the best little Organic, Amish "farm to table" OUTDOOR market I have found with tons of…read moregourmet locally sourced produce & foods of all kinds with fresh baked goods also available OuiOui. Yes, it's outdoor. So plan your trip with the weather in mind. The first time I was there it was pouring raining & even though it's covered, I got soaked in the Florida "Sun Showers" we often have here hahaha. The coolers they have under this covered little market are full of everything from Gator meat to locally sourced fish, like Grouper & Snapper but they also have wild caught salmon & sushi grade ahi tuna etc., They also carry Wagyu burgers & steaks etc., I had the Wagyu burgers they are very good. They also have tons of other beef, pork & chicken. Even chicken feet. I also like their local country sausage OuiOui. The Amish eggs they sell are from an Amish farm, the best ever & the raw cow yogurt is magnificent. The really great thing they do here is the Sourdough bread they are making, it's the best I have found in the area. All of their baked goods are fabulous but the Organic unsliced sourdough boule is AMAZEBALLS OuiOui :).. The other Amish/European Market down the street also has fabulous sourdough bread but it's pre-sliced. This one here is so much more sour & I love the size & shape of it. Very artistically crafted. The best sourdough I have found by a long shot OuiOui. Added to moi lists of Best Organic, raw, vegan/Best Bakeries. Will Return. Highest Recommendations.

I've been wanting to try this wine bar/bistro since the day it opened. I just never seemed to hit…read moreit at the right time. Fortunately, it was open the day after Christmas at 1pm. What a lovely surprise! It's kind of hidden on Bay Street. It's behind the Restoration Hardware Gallery. You'll see the outdoor patio area on the left as you're exiting the food court. In fact, that appears to be the main entrance (or it was that day). There's another entrance next to the Shake Shack as well. The interior is very reminiscent of bistros in various parts of Europe. It's somewhat dark & moody with warm wood furnishings. The wine/coffee bar is the focal point. The seating is comfortable & diverse. There are also large tables set up for groups of people. It's definitely a great meeting place after a day of shopping. It's also great for couples on a date. I was the first one there that afternoon, and had my pick of tables. They have such a great wine list. I already knew what I wanted thanks to the great descriptions on the menu. The white wine flight is a pick of any 3 from the menu. I had a generous pour of a few French Sauvignon Blanc wines and a Blanc de Franc. It was my first time trying the latter white Cabernet Sauvignon. What a treat! I loved all 3, but my absolute favorite was the one from Domaine Doudeau-Léger. The service here was wonderful. Nina gave me some great suggestions when I asked about the toasts. I ended up choosing the Wild Truffled Mushroom one. It was delicious! The mushrooms were the star of the show. The subtle hint of truffle really brought out the natural flavors. I totally recommend this one. If you're a mushroom lover, there's a mushroom & pea soup that was also recommended. I couldn't leave without dessert. I think my only disappointment was that they didn't have the croissants ready. The Crème Brûlée one is popular as well as the Basque Burned Cheesecake. It would have taken an additional 30 minutes. I ended up getting the Pistachio Ricotta Cake. It turned out to be a good decision because the croissant would have been too filling for me. This cake was perfectly light and paired very well with the cappuccino. They serve Kimbo Italian espresso for all you coffee lovers out there. Even the small detail of having a delicious Italian biscotti cookie bite in the spoon was the perfect ending for me. I'm looking forward to more visits. Hopefully, I'll get to try that croissant dessert that everyone raves about. They serve brunch on the weekends. That's what I want to try the next time I'm at International Plaza.
