Everyone here is so kind and uplifting! I was talking to Noel who was ringing me up and she asked if I had anything exciting going on this weekend and I let her know it was my birthday the next day. She asked my favorite color and ran over to pick out some blue hydrangeas for me!! Almost brought tears to my eyes how sweet this gesture was! Everyone is always so kind and if you’re having a bad day they will make you feel better! I can’t forget to mention how delicious their food is and how their frozen section has made my life so much easier.

I loved visiting this place. You are able to order in half sizes, which is just enough food. The only thing I would like to request is that I hope they consider adding a vegetarian soup option, but otherwise I really liked it. They also have a section up front for t shirts, tumblers, cards, etc. A very cheerful, welcoming place with good service. Thank you!

Way before Frisco and other towns start having farmers market I used to go to the one in McKinney but wow it has grown and it has a very European feeling to it and very different from the other ones in this area.You can find Hummus (lots of flavors), olive products, bakeries, healthy juice options, food like BBQ sandwiches, kebabs, tamales, and of course fruits (great peaches, ran out by 9:45 and had to bring more) and vegetables.There’s also live music and crafts.,,.what makes it unique is that there’s decent amount of vendors about 30-40 I would guess but they are all near each other and so easy to get to and lots of people in one area but somehow the open market prevents it from feeling overcrowded.

It is what it is: A great display showcasing some local talent. I always enjoy stepping in for a bit to see if I can tell myself a story...or perhaps a few.

Shopping
Love shopping in Allen Outlet, you can get all what you want in a reasonable price, this place is cool to hangout with friends and family. I took my 10 month old there and got very good deals shopping for her in Children’s place and Carter’s, got some very good deals in Gap. I went to Wilson Leather for buying new jackets for me and my husband, and got some nice jackets there. They opened some new shops and restaurants also, tried an Italian restaurant, that was good though. In last 2 months I visited there like 3-4 times and most probably going there this weekend too. Just love this place.
