Nice upscale local store/cafe with lunches, cookies, take out dinners from the cooler, gifts, snacks, etc. Beer and wine available. Draft and cans/bottles. Kombucha, local sodas, and more! Definitely worth stopping by for a look. You might be surprised by what you find.

I love this place. I have celiacs disease and they are super accommodating. Bobbi, the chef, does everything to make it safe. The food is delish and so creative.

I want to start with saying something nice about the place first, butt unfortunately I don’t think we would go back there, ever. So we stayed in Maggie Valley, and we explored so many different towns, and places for lunch-brunch- diner, hikes etc. We went for a walk in Waynesville, just for another walk, and exploration in general, and our intention was to have a lunch at Sweet Onion, because the place was highly recommended, but unfortunately was Sunday, and the place was closed. We ended up walking around the Main Street of Waynesville, and we tried to decide where to have lunch, and we passed through this place several times, finally we decided that the place is very cute, unique, and we wanted to try it out, and we did. When we get there we were greeted from one of the staff, and it was nice approach. Then she gave us the many, and went to sit close to the window. So far, so good. I was happy when I noticed the fair pricing, and my son and I decided to try the hotdogs. Meanwhile something inside me was telling me to send my son to ask the girl if the size of the dogs were good size, and if one would be enough for one person, and the girl confirmed that one hotdog wouldn’t be enough for one person, so we decided to order two Memphis, style dogs, along with Italian, sandwich, and salad for my wife, with grilled chicken as add on. We placed the order, and this is where the good amount of waiting time began 😡. I started exploring the whole place, because was so cute, and authentic, then I went to the bathroom, then out for more exploring, and the simple food order, wasn’t ready yet. I thought this is normal, and that we are going to get something really nice and special, because of all this time that passes, and the food wasn’t ready yet, with pretty empty place in general. Anyway, now the moment of truth, the food finally arrived, and my son and I immediately looked at each other’s amazed, the dogs were the size of my palm, tiny bread rolls, along with tiny frankfurters, little barbecue sauce, and super tiny slices of something that looked like bacon, super tiny, like a sheet of paper, and small. The sandwich was poorly made, barely pressed in the sandwich press, and still cold from inside, the size was kids size as well, so disappointing! My wife’s salad was served in a cardboard, but that’s fine, the place appears to be super green, which wasn’t that bad, bud the grilled chicken inside was super white, like straight out of the freezer, with some marks from some grill. Everything looked worse then a fast food chain, but the time it took them to prepare, two dogs, small sandwich, and pre-made salad, was equal to place that is actual restaurant. We wondered how is even possible to take that much of a time, for something that simple, and almost empty place. We left hungry, which is major red flag, and issue for us. With that being said, I will allow myself to give some recommendations. I think most of the people don’t care to pay a little bit more for good quality food, and for bigger portions, instead of never wanting to come back, like us. Going cheap is never a good recipe for making successful business, never. I’m not even sure if the pace deserves my 4 ✨rating, but just because was cute, and the staff friendly, I’m giving it, other than that I would not recommend this place, unless they do something about it, and improve all the issues!

Our family loves 828 Market! The variety of menu offerings, gifting ideas, beverages, and atmosphere make it a no brainer when we are looking for lunch in town. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. The dill pickle pasta salad is 💯

What a great hot dog, and the price was great as well. I recommend the Ruben Dog. Check out the potato chips on the display wall. The price may seem high, but the product is worth it. Lots of local products

As a local, I have been to 828 Market several times and do not have a single complaint. The two main workers, Jojo and Laura, are nothing but helpful and create a safe space for all customers. I recommend this place to everyone, and will continue to do so as long as these two work here !!! <3

I’ve always made a point to visit this business but today the owner/manager decided it was worth them making $6 vs honoring the pricing on their products. I won’t ever return thanks to this poor customer service. It’s too bad they prefer to raise prices and not have the ability to adjust it on their product and then make the customer the bad guy and say “sorry, but prices went up so that’s what it is now”. I run a small business and I’d never treat my customers like this. They should’ve done the right thing and honored the pricing on the product. Hope you guys do better to the next customer.
Edited to add: the price increase was on a bottle of wine, and stores buy wine at a set price and they price that based on their cost, so to raise the price on a product you already purchased and priced based on that, makes this whole thing even more frustrating. On top of that it’s a California wine, so tariff threats aren’t a reason either. I just felt as though I was completely gaslit so she could save $6. Do better.

I am so sad. I saw the Chicken salad on door dash and thought it looked fantastic! I was so disappointed when I opened the box to find a yellow sandwich absolutely drenched in tumeric. The menu may be different in store but on doordash it says absolutely nothing about turmeric. Now granted it would have been fine if it had some tumeric in it but the dang sandwich had so much it was bright yellow! I mean it stained the bun. I actually had to wash off the chicken before remaking the chicken salad with dukes like the good lord intended it. (It could have had dukes in it I just couldn't taste it for all the tumeric!) It made me so sad because I wanted this to taste good! I really did! On another note. The pasta salad was absolutely superb! It was very nice and I knew exactly what I was getting! I'll be back to try something else again and hopefully change my stars! Edit: I'm not against flavor at all! I'm very exotic in my tastes! But this things was drenched! Which would be fine provided it was in the description. But thanks for saying you'll fix that!

The dill pickle macaroni salad was delicious. Was disappointed in the hot dog being on thefatburger list I expected more a larger hot dog or something special not just a plain hot dog
Great eclectic vibe, and can't wait to visit again to try more of their menu! Great coffee and my caprese sandwich was in point. The dill pickle pasta salad was also yummy. My friends hotdogs were accompanied by some local Carolina Tangy BBQ chips😃. I also liked the selection of canned fishes and seafood.

Very lovely aesthetic café. Friendly staff and great quality food. I would be a regular if I lived closer! It’s nice to have a small gift shop incorporated in the store with local and handmade goods.
