Market on South is an indoor, vegan farmer’s market in the outskirts of downtown Orlando. The facility itself is impressive, with locally made sauces, decorative items and soaps for sale. Out front is an urban farm and covered tables to enjoy your food.
I had a slice of the most beautiful Chocolate and Rosewater Ganache cake. It was garnished with dried rose petals and metallic sprinkles. The ganache was rich and the rosewater gave the cake a refreshing taste.
The stars of Valhalla Bakery are the homemade donuts at the shop. A specific amount of assorted flavors are made every morning, and the limited quantity makes them a hot commodity. Flavors range from traditional sprinkled donuts to pistachio and rosewater combinations.
We left with Raspberry Sprinkle, Salted Caramel Pretzel, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Thin Mint donuts. Each one was better than the next! I’m a sucker for the salty/sweet combo, so the Salted Caramel Pretzel was my favorite. They were perfect for sharing because they were best eaten with a fork and knife.
Be sure to buy one of the pressed juices to wash down your pastry or to save for later. The market opens at 9 am, but arrive before 11 am to snag a donut!
