Myself and several others must've had the same thought, as we all made a quick uturn and hastily parked. Upon entering, you're greeted by polite personnel, as well as the delicious smell of citrus and... vanilla. That's right, vanilla. That's because they bake fresh cinnamon rolls on site, and we happened to snag the last container. Had a half one for breakfast for about a week and couldn't imagine eating any other cinnamon roll. The oranges were huge, but not really good. The OJ however, was fantastic. We ended up spending about $40 and I'm glad that we were finally able to check this place out.

However, they have truly embraced the times and stepped up to coordinate one of the most seamless order pick ups with far more options than they can normally house in their store location in collaboration with their local farm suppliers. It was a really great way to get access to local food in a time when innovation is most appreciated as is the ability to access fresh food when the normal grocery stores are overwhelmed with visitors. I will definitely continue to support this great local business that has made things easier in a time when many things are harder. Edit: apparently the store front has closed (unrelatedly- they announced this coming change on January 8th due to a failed lease renewal) but the business is still running through their pick up at 8505 Silver Star Rd and online ordering. The system was actually designed prior to these times and just happened to line up perfectly). This family run business is passionate about improving access to locally grown and more organic foods, and they have done an amazing job.

Decent boba, but didn't quite meet my expectations…read more Stopped by Chewy Boba Company and ordered the mango boba and taro boba. The drinks were okay overall and refreshing, but coming from the San Francisco Bay Area, where there are so many strong boba options, I found the quality a bit underwhelming. The flavors were decent, but neither drink stood out as particularly memorable. The taro lacked some of the richness and depth I usually look for, and the mango drink felt a little too sweet for my taste. The boba itself was acceptable, though the texture wasn't as chewy and fresh as what I'm used to at many Bay Area boba shops. Service was friendly, and the drinks were prepared quickly. The vibe is casual and welcoming, making it a convenient stop if you're in the area and craving a sweet drink. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but having tried many boba shops in the Bay Area, I felt the drinks didn't quite compare in terms of flavor and quality. It satisfied the craving, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return.

The staff running this market is unprofessional and hostile to members of the public using the…read moreadjacent Stardust Cafe space -- which has nothing to do with the market. On two separate Monday evenings, while seated as a Stardust customer in an area apart from the market, I was verbally confronted by market staffers with no provocation. The first incident involved a male staffer who accused me of obstructing their load-out process -- after the load-out had already been completed without any obstruction from me. When I politely offered to move my table anyway, he escalated, raised his voice, stood over me, and demanded that I "sit in the corner" every time I come to the cafe because he's "been doing this market for fifteen years." His tenure does not give him authority over cafe customers. The second incident was more serious. While spending time with a friend after wrapping up a service I offer with full knowledge and support of the cafe, I returned from the restroom to find an anonymous, defamatory note on my table. Shortly after, a female staffer (Gabby) approached me in front of a full seating area and launched into a loud, disruptive rant, shouting accusations and declaring that I was no longer permitted to be at the cafe on Monday evenings. She has no such authority. When I calmly pointed this out and asked her to leave, she continued shouting until I firmly repeated my request. Multiple people present were visibly unsettled by her behavior. Both staffers invoked "knowing the owner" and "fifteen years" as justification for ordering around a private citizen on property they do not control. At no point did I raise my voice, use profanity, or act in any way that was inappropriate. Stardust Cafe itself is wonderful and their staff has been nothing but welcoming. The Audubon Community Market, however, is run by people who have a deeply disordered sense of their own authority and apparently feel entitled to harass members of the public. Two incidents, two different staffers, same pattern. Give this market a pass.

This market happens every Sunday along Lake Eola and features tons of local produce stalls as well as prepared food and drinks stalls and artisans selling their wares. It's a pleasure to walk around and look through the diversity of offerings. It's massive and one of the larger markets I've ever been to. Plus- they have shaded areas under trees with picnic tables for enjoying your food. It's also dog-friendly, so be prepared to enjoy the vast sizes and breeds strolling along with their owners. Overall, a great market for a fun morning. I wouldn't consider it the best market for dropping by to quickly grab produce, rather it's more of an experience to enjoy on a Sunday.

There is no better way to spend a Sunday than by supporting small, local business and having a picnic on the various lawns. My go-to are Cedar Hive Honey, Worthy Snacks, and House of Jerk Cedar Hive Honey has great honey flavors at a very reasonable price for locally sourced honey! Worthy Snacks have the absolute BEST pork rind flavors. You must get the salt & vinegar and garlic Parmesan- WOW. You get a massive bag for $8 or 2 for $15. House of Jerk has some really unique jerky flavors that my husband and I love. They have a 9 for $20 deal on jerky. A new spot I tried recently was Soulful Sazon. Definitely get their chicken pinchos and seafood egg rolls- yum! Don't forget to stop by and get a fresh coconut water. Very hydrating on a hot day!
