1 month agoMarket On South has definitely upped its game since transitioning to new management. The space feels refreshed and welcoming, with updated displays, a clean interior, and a nice variety of items to browse. It’s obvious that folks behind the scenes are working to improve the overall experience. The staff I encountered were friendly and helpful ready to greet, point out products, and make the shopping experience smoother than I’d seen previously. It’s a solid spot for grabbing essentials, snacks, or discovering interesting local goods. One area that could use improvement: the selection is better, but there are still some gaps, especially if you’re looking for specialty or very fresh produce. Also, a few items felt slightly pricier than comparable stores, though given the upgrades and ambience they’re offering, the value is still reasonable. Overall: Market On South is on a positive path and absolutely worth checking out under the new management. With a few tweaks, it could become one of the top go-to spots in the neighborhood.

2 month agoVisiting from SC, this location exceeded my expectations. It's always a pleasure to eat at an all vegan establishment and this location collaborates with three different businesses. All three businesses make their items fresh and with love. This weekend I tried: Vegan Scoops - Waffle Cone Cookie n Cream ice cream and the Churro Cake and Cinnamon Roll. Soulicious Vegan Kitchen - The pick three with Chik'n Sliders, Soul Brisket Sliders and Wings A Lo Vegano - The Shrimp Garlic Alfredo and Fried Calamari. The wait is well worth it!

2 month agoThis has probably been my favorite vegan spot I've visited in Orlando. The staff was so friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was awesome, and the food was still somehow BETTER than all of that. It was the perfect recipe for the best vegan brunch. Looking at food brought to other tables made me jealous that I didn't order it, and excited to come back and try more!

2 month agoI absolutely love Market on South!!! The food is flavorful, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff is friendly. Once you get inside the restaurant you'll learn about the multiple vegan options of food. There's a variety of options to choose from: Breakfast Sandwiches, Waffle Breakfast, Pasta Alfredo, and delicious sweet treats such as pastries, cookies, and ice cream. I love the fact that I can come for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and the food is excellent every time! They have a place for children to play and they have board games as well. Bonus it's family owned so you'll get a chance to support local and a family business! If you're looking for great vegan options with flavor be sure to visit Market on South!

3 month agoI recently visited this place from out of town (TX) loved it. I really really liked the variety of sweets they had. My favorite is the lemon/citrus one. I also tried food from a lo vegano and it was great, although a bit too salty. Costumer service was awesome, everyone was super nice. i think it's a great idea to have 3 different vegan companies under the same room- as there is a lot more to choose from. I have no idea about the parking situation since I uber there.

4 month agoWe finally made it back to Market on South again. It basically encompasses a couple of separate little vegan restaurant options, a little like an indoor public market with multiple kiosks - but without the typical degree of separation ... It currently appears to have been simplified and include just two options now: Vegan Scoops and A Lo Vegano Orlando which is a vegan Cuban restaurant. We tried the breakfast croissant sandwich, personally too fake meaty and egg like for my taste. Although the SO apparently loved it. (I prefer tofu, seitan, or something more along those lines so it probably depends on your tastes.) We also tried the Loaded Fajita Steak & Tostones. The "steak" was some sort of processed mushroom based option that looked pretty realistic, it was chewy, well crisped, and a little dry. Personally a little too on the realistic side for my taste, but the SO loved it too. I did appreciate that it was crunchy on the ends. A bit of some fajita veggies and a strong herb rich sauce over fried plantain bites wrapped it up. It was interesting to try, and pretty good, although not really my cup of tea. We also grabbed an order of Yuka Fries, which were really good, crunchy and nicely done and tender on the inside. They came with a tasty sauce, although not nearly enough sauce for the serving size. Then there was Vegan Scoops with ice cream and baked goods for dessert. *** References to the previous vegan kiosks which closed down, left for historical context. *** Previously it Included The Kind Cleaver, Retro Roast, Main House Market, and Vegan Scoops. It has a little bit of a health food store vibe with a few small odds and ends for purchase, plus a little bit of an eclectic old fashioned vibe ... But it has a nice clean, bright, pleasant environment with great food. The Kind Cleaver had some awesome Seitan sandwiches - their Rueben had a nice balance of flavors with plenty of sauerkraut. Plus large portions for leftovers, granted we weren't super hungry when we came in, but still good sized. I wish we had a Kind Cleaver or the whole market nearby and highly recommend stopping in. This is one place I would absolutely go out of my way to stop at again. While Kind Cleaver appears to be closed for now as a restaurant, it sounds like they are selling their seitan to another vegan restaurant an hour or so east. I was really craving one of their sandwiches, hopefully again one day.
