This place is insanely good! Everything is vegan, I tried the alfredo pasta with vegan chicken and garlic knot, and I had a brownie for dessert. I had a mango Jarrito for my drink. The alfredo pasta was so creamy and decadent, exactly how I like my alfredo pasta. The garlic knot was garlicky and soft. The vegan chicken tasted like a shredded chicken texture and was well-seasoned. It was also a large portion and I had enough to take home for a great separate dinner. The brownie was so chocolatey and delicious! The customer service was great, they were helpful with answering all my questions. The place itself is very chill, they have a lot of seating available. It's also a small indoor market, so there's lots of interesting items to browse through.

We were heading from St Pete to St Augustine and wanted to stop and grab some lunch. We discovered this place had a few different vegan options located under one roof! We went there to try their Cuban food but ended up ordering their breakfast items. With the intentions of coming back to grab some of their plates! We also had to order a couple of road trip cookies on the way out. Friendly staff and very welcoming environment. There's also a coffee shop located inside! Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thank you!

We went to Market on South because I had read that kombucha on draft was offered there. Apparently it isn't anymore. So since we were there, we decided to get something anyway. I didn't realize it was a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, and they had a variety of hot food items, as well as desserts. How cool. We ordered two juice drinks -- mango and guava -- and a slice of vegan strawberry crunch cheesecake. The inside seating was quite crowded for a Sunday afternoon. We grabbed a picnic table outside since it was a nice day. My guava drink was delicious, as was the cheesecake. As we sat outside enjoying our afternoon treat, airplanes kept flying very low overhead on their way to landing at the Orlando Executive Airport. It was kind of cool to see them. Market on South was definitely not what I expected, but it was a great find.

Stopped in for lunch yesterday to try Vegan Coops but I guess the food vendor is A LO VEGANO so we ordered from the kiosk, which was a very intimidating experience with a line of people behind me as I tried ordering and didn't know what to get. There's no service here and it took forever to get our food. I ordered for dine in but got my food in a to-go box 30 mins later after I had to check in to see what was going on. Not sure I made a good food choice this time because I definitely didn't feel like my meal was worth $18 + another $18 in drinks and treats. The cookie puck was just that, a hard a$$ puck of chocolate chip cookie with super sweet thick frosting and sprinkles on top. Toddler wouldn't eat it so we had to lol the macaroon was alright but I wouldn't pay $4 for another one. The food that finally came out was completely drenched in oil and full of salt. All I could taste on the plant-based sunny side up eggs was the sulfurous black salt they overused. The yuca was good but not $5 for a side. Overall wasn't impressed at all by this experience but apparently other people are because I was surprised to see a line out the door so business is good. Hopefully this was just a bad choice and bad luck on my part. If I lived in the area, I would probably give it a try again.

I'm not Vegan but love this place. A little pricey- so do not go very often but still enjoyable. Ordered my favorite: Fl fried green tomato sandwich and the Carolina BBQ jackfruit. We loved them both. - get extra napkins for the BBQ- it's a messy one! Very friendly service - great out back seating with lighting. Perfect for cooler weather- being Florida and all.

With new restaurants on the block it's time for an update! It's currently Vegan Scoops and A Lo Vegano at Market on South, and both places were phenomenal. I'd already tried Vegan scoops at a food fair and enjoyed it, and it was the same this time. Their chocolate chip cookie was also so rich and gooey heated up. I think I've found my new go-to place for garlic knots at A lo vegano! Check it out for some badass vegan Cuban food. For $21 you can get a full platter with your choice of 2 proteins and 2 sides. I got the garlic shrimp and eggs for the protein and the garlic knots and yuca for the sides. One thing that is truly unique are the sunny side up eggs which tasted amazing and were runny like the real deal. The seasoning was outstanding across the board. Did I mention the garlic knots were to die for? The yuca was topped with pickled onions which were a bit too sour for my taste, but it worked well with the bland yuca. My omnivore friend got the garlic shrimp pasta, and finished all the shrimp but the pasta portion size was more than expected so he couldn't finish the rest. I really enjoyed the seasoning on the shrimp, but the texture was definitely different, having had regular shrimp in the past. Overall Market on South is a place I would take visiting friends and family as another place offering fantastic flavorful food and sweet treats that can be enjoyed by everyone!

New vendors now (before it was Valhalla Bakery & Dharma Kitchen). There's 4 new vendors, Vegan Hispanic food, Vegan Scoops, Soul Food, & a coffee vendor. However, I feel the space is quite small. My family & I haven't come to Market on South since it's changed. We decided to go on Labor Day before our drive back home. I figured because it's a holiday it was a bit more crowded. Unfortunately it felt disorganized, overwhelming, & chaotic. Many people were confused as to where to stand in line for the different vendors, many people ended up skipping others, and there wasn't quite the space for the crowd there that day. The service was as good as can be as they were busy and really only had one person attending each vendor spot. As far as the food, there were a few mix ups with order numbers but once we got our food, my family really enjoyed it.

Love the new set up!! I was pleasantly surprised to find Vegan Scoops here! It was very loud and cramped inside but that wouldn't keep me away.
