    I love this market. Lots of gourmet items, wonderful cheeses, great bakery, good salad bar. And an interesting selection of kitchen gadgets.

    They have a ton of free samples and things that I could not find anywhere else so be sure to ask for what you want, its probably in the back. Also they don't have a smoker so get your own.

    Get the chocolate milk from Twin Brook Creamery. All the milk from the creamery comes in glass bottles, so you pay a refundable bottle deposit when you buy it....but it's sooo good.

    Large market with many specialty items and many prepared foods. They carry bread from 30 bakeries. Although not the least expensive market to frequent, it is place I enjoy shopping.

    Cheese, seafood, produce and wine are worth the extra cost. And they get to know their local regulars. Love you guys!

    Stay away from their desserts because they know if you walk by you'll grab one 🍨
