Sara's full firsthand review

I enjoyed my time at Acacia food market this week. This market is a little small, but you'll be sure to find most things here that are Turkish/European/International. I love their packaged chocolates, dried spices, lentils/rice, fresh baklava and fresh baked bread. I grew up eating most of these items, so I love both their fresh items from their bakery as well as their packaged items from their store shelves. Customer service is little to none, it might be language barrier related, but I'm not bothered by it. When I visit this market, I know what I want. As a person that enjoys international cooking, I enjoy walking through various aisles. They have a lovely little bakery in the back corner of their market as mentioned. You can smell the fresh bread that is baked on a daily basis. They have quite a few dessert options, but my favorite will always be their baklava. They also have a "home" section with glassware, Turkish tea cups, storage containers, soaps, etc. I found some baby products here as well! I enjoyed the bakery bread when I got home and paired it with my homemade Turkish red lentil soup. So nourishing! Cozy and comfort at its finest. Although a relatively small shoppe, they have quite a few things here. Parking is plenty, and they have long store hours as well. Come check this spot out!
