The Tamale Girl - St. Jacobs

What a beautiful market! There are so many vendors and options available, along with several different buildings to explore. You'll definitely need a few hours to walk around and find what you're looking for! I’ll definitely be returning! We visited from 9:30 a.m. to around noon, and many products were already sold out. Next time, we’re going right at opening time at 7 a.m.! Also, make sure to grab the apple fritters—it's worth the wait in the long line; it moves quickly!

We visited on a snowy February day and found the parking easily accessible with plenty of space. We made our way in quickly since it had been years since our last visit. It was great to see many new businesses since we were last there, which was a pleasant surprise. We took some time to stroll through the market, checking out all the stores and vendors. Don’t forget to venture over to the other building, where there is even more food to explore. We picked up a few peanut butter bars, and my son loved his cheesecake. The dining area is located on the main level, while the second level features a variety of items, from toys to metal art and ceramics. Overall, it’s definitely worth a visit, whether you’re a local or looking for a day trip. I’d rate it a solid 5 out of 5!
