Foodie's Marketcafe'

I reserve my 5 star reviews for a place that has great Customer Service along with a superb product. Most places end up with a 3 or a 4 because they miss the mark on something, but Foodies is definitely fitting of the 5 star rating.

I read a review raving about Foodies yesterday and since I was going to be in the area to stop at Dessert Menu, I knew I had to check it out. I wasn't sure what to expect from the outside, but this place is so retro chic inside. I absolutely loved everything about it and almost felt like I was not cool enough to be here.

When you walk in, there's a small little market that carries different kinds of cocoa, homemade candy/snacks, coffee, rubs, dips, and they even have a section with craft beer.  I ended up buying a bag of Labriola Pretzel rolls because I absolutely love pretzel rolls and they'll make for great sandwiches to bring to work. I was considering buying a few other things, but I decided to opt for a quick lunch instead.

I ordered the 1/2 soup or salad plus a 1/2 sandwich. I went with the Diner style Tuna Melt and the Chili. They had a huge selection of soups and it was near impossible to pick. The other ones that I considered were: Steak and Ale, Broccoli Cheddar and Loaded Potato. I should have just ordered a cup of all of them being the huge soup lover that I am.

It only took a few minutes and then my meal was being brought out to me. The chili was a little thicker than how I like my chili--I normally like a lot more broth--but this was some of the best chili I've had in awhile. It had just the right amount of spice, tomatoes, beans and meat to make it fantastic. The tuna sandwich was really good too, but I should have ordered something more unique for my experience. You can never go wrong with a tuna melt, but I can also make a pretty mean one at home so next time I will go with a Reuben or one of their paninis.

My favorite part about the whole dining experience though was the amazing customer service. Everyone here that I encountered was overly friendly--not in that fake sort of way--but in the "we really care about what you think and we'll go out of our way to make sure you're happy." They were absolutely fantastic. The lady taking orders told me I could try anything I wanted, so I should have taken her up on that offer to try all of those soups. She was so sweet and I'm not sure if she was the owner or just a really good employee but she made my whole lunch A+.

Great little sandwich & soup shoppe. Also, haven't had pretzel bread since Epcot. Win! There's a small market shop inside as well, and they host classes like wine and beer tasting.

Went for lunch today and it was fantastic!  I had the roasted vegetable soup and spinach salad with hot (yes!) hot bacon dressing, delicious!  Others in our group, there were 5 and 1 child enjoyed the Steak-n-Ale soup, grown up grilled cheese, roast beef and turkey sandwiches.  The apple salad side also very good!  For dessert we ate up all the chocolate cupcakes they had...and the cupcakes were very very good too!  There was plenty of room for us, even as busy as the cafe was today at lunchtime and the staff was awesome!  To top it off, I found a specialty beer in their marketplace that I'd been looking for around town for almost a whole year!  Boulevard Pale Ale out of Kansas City, MO.  I bought two 6 packs for 9.99 each.  The owner/operator said he would be happy to get me more, or any other I might be interested in.  Great place!
