The Miller's Market

 

Located at 116-A East Main Street in Jamestown, The Miller’s Market sells locally made specialty foods, grab and go meals, and fresh salads, sandwiches, coffees, and homemade breads. The market is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and serves lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Patio seating is available.

 

A long-anticipated venture from the owner of Black Powder Smokehouse, The Miller’s Market is part specialty foods store, part café. It’s an interesting concept and a boon to Jamestown, but some may not see the appeal.

 

Housed in a former Edward Jones office in the heart of Jamestown, The Miller’s Market is a bright and airy space featuring handcrafted tables. The large coolers stock salads, butters, and grab-and-go meals while a number of locally made snacks and seasonings are on display toward the front. Places to pick up unique local items have been few and far between since The Budding Artichoke closed up shop, and so The Miller’s Market helps fill that niche.

 

As for the café, it’s the kind of place that charges $11 for a grilled cheese sandwich (with fig jam and a side included, but still). High as the prices for some items may be, there’s no arguing with the quality. A honey cinnamon latte was satisfyingly sweet pick-me-up, and the savory scones won’t let you down, but the flourless chocolate torte is next-level. It’s like a giant truffle (in the best way possible), and if you have one, you will be back for more.

As a café, The Miller’s Market is pricy, and as a market, the selection is limited, but as a place that offers a bit of this and that with local ingredients in a convenient location, The Miller’s Market is worth checking out.
