We were very impressed by their offerings and variety. As a pescatarian, I was grateful for their wild caught seafood options. They also sell cheeses, sauces, local salsas and jams, and more. We've been pleased with everything we've gotten from here! The store is clean and everything is clearly labeled. The staff was friendly and very helpful.

I originally went for a tour of the olive mill and that was amazing. Our tour guide Wolfgang was so…read moreknowledgeable and answered all of our questions. When we were done and looking through the store he would help talk through the different flavors and types of oils they carry/make. The food is delicious I had a canoli and a bite of pizza and I'd absolutely go back to try other things. They have a full bar. They were very busy as it was the last day for the sangria social and the day before Mother's Day but the outdoor seating is pretty vast and the musician was wonderul to listen to. I would highly recommend for a day date, time with friends or just a fun activity!

They offer a tour and a fun store that you can get olive oil, spreads, chocolate bars and tangential products. You can sample the olive oil but there's nothing to dip it in so you'd just be ingesting pure oil; it would have been nice to have a pretzel or bread to dip! I would have wanted everything to be made there but for example the pastas and pasta sauces weren't. And they sell other products from elsewhere. If I'm making a trip here, I'd want to buy things that are primarily made here. They also have several dining options (not sure how they're all related). I was pleased with the food we ordered: huge artichoke calzone (soft dough and good filling) for $22 and fish and chips (excellent fries), as well as a bakery that sells cupcakes, scones, cakes, cookies, brownies as well as gelato. We liked the cookies and scone though the latter didn't have the usual consistency of a scone). It was interesting that their Italian cookies were actually slightly cheaper purchased at the counter vs the already packaged box. They also sell cerreta individually wrapped candies. They have indoor and outdoor seating if you want to eat there. Employees were very friendly. I'm sure it is a more pleasurable experience going when there aren't a lot of crowds, as it is a tourist spot and has overflow parking.

The burger was large, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. Considering the generous portion size, the price was very reasonable and offered excellent value. I'm also a big fan of fresh-brewed tea, and it did not disappoint. It was fresh, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal. One of the highlights of the restaurant is the large shaded patio. Even on warmer days, the misting system helps keep the space comfortable, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy your meal outdoors. Between the great food, reasonable prices, outstanding employees, and comfortable patio, this was a very enjoyable experience. I'll definitely be back.

It was nice to browse while waiting for my number to be called to order my tea. I was so tempted by all of the fun drinks that they have on the menu, but I stuck to what I came in for the decaf flavored teas. Today I went with a blueberry lavender and it is so delicious and such a pretty color. I also love how great of a deal it is for a 32 ounce large tea. The staff was also very friendly, and they were also working very hard to help every customer who was trying to get a bakery item or drink. I also love the outside patio area with a very pretty fountain and seating area. I will definitely be back for more tea in the future.

I picked up some barbecued pulled pork, some pork chops, some cheese, deli pickles, & their Green Chili Mac & Cheese, which this place is known for. The ambiance is cozy & busy here but well worth the drive in to Queen Creek. TIP: Join their Rewards club & you get some great rewards! I got a free pack of Brats for signing up!

They sometimes sell out of their croissant wheels, so we had to get one: croissant consistency shaped into a circle with filling and glaze. When you cut into the raspberry lemon, the so-named filling oozes out... decadence on a plate. They also had a pistachio and chocolate one, and others. Somewhat similar to cronuts but less flaky. At $9.50, I'm good for awhile! We also tried the soft lemon blueberry cinnamon roll which also came in several different flavors. Their sandwich bread is also quality; we enjoy the honey whole wheat. They have a rewards card to buy 10 loaves of bread (or challah, sweet bread) and get 1 free. They also donate their leftover goods at the end of the day to a homeless shelter. Shop local and support this business!

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the kindest, most welcoming staff, which makes the whole experience even better. There's such a wide variety of delicious treats to choose from that it's hard to pick a favorite. Personally, I love the sugar cookies--they have the perfect level of sweetness. My daughter can't get enough of the mint brownie, and my husband always asks me to bring home one of their coffee cake loaves. Beyond those favorites, they offer an incredible selection of cupcakes, croissants, cookies, cinnamon buns, and so much more. Anytime we have visitors, this is one of the first places I take them. I truly can't recommend this bakery enough!

Now let's talk about the real reason we came... the PRODUCE When I say abundance, I mean piles on piles of fresh fruits and veggies looking like they just clocked in from the farm that morning. And the prices? Let's just say my wallet didn't flinch, and that's rare these days! But wait--it's not just fruits and veggies. Oh no, they got the goodies too: Locally made jams, jellies, fresh juices, pickled EVERYTHING, and dehydrated snacks that had me acting real brand new in those aisles. I had to stop myself from grabbing one of everything like I was on a cooking show with no budget The place itself? Clean, organized, easy to navigate--no chaos, no confusion, just grab your basket and go off.

They were patient and explained to us how the menu works and what they have to offer. Everything was very health focused which I liked so I ended up trying one of their Prickly Pear drinks. It was good considering I was thirsty but you can definitely taste it was done out of some powders, maybe sneaking some fruits in there might make the taste of the powders not taste so strong. I am not giving a bad review, because it's a small business and I don't want to mess up their ratings just based on my personal preference but I wouldn't come back. It's just not my cup of tea but I can see how it's appealing to other people.
