A warm and inviting atmosphere, from the way the tables are set-up to the people that greet you. My server was kind and offered a great suggestion when I asked her for one. I had the bagel sandwich which had a great spicy kick to it, but not overwhelming. It was balanced out with the cream cheese and guac spread. The server brought me my check without even asking. I'm making this place a regular stop to visit.

The service here was friendly and fast and the food is delicious and so fresh. I greatly enjoyed my sweet potato and tomato soup and Baja Pizza. I was also impressed with how clean this location is. I'm so happy they are open. They are following the health department regulations to a t and I had no fear of getting germs here.

This was my 2nd time here and it has surpassed my expectations once again. I got a half sandwich & salad and it was healthy, delicious, and way more food than Panera! You get to choose your bread (I got sourdough), up to 3 meats on the sandwich, plus choice of cheese, sauces (i chose pesto), and toppings (lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, sprouts, etc). Then you choose between 2 different salads or your choice of soup. Plus a cookie! Everything here tastes home made and delicious..I just can't say enough good things about this place. If you don't worry about being healthy, they have really yummy comfort foods too, like Mac & cheese . You order at the counter, get a number, then they bring it to your table. Their bakery is amazing too - my boyfriend got a raspberry cheesecake and we thought about getting a pie to go!

Mary’s Market on State St. is a fantastic spot for brunch. Everything is incredibly fresh, and the flavors far exceeded our expectations. We ordered French toast, the veggie stacked sandwich with the Italian soup and a create your own omelette. Despite being busy, everything came out in a timely manner, and the service was friendly and attentive. The atmosphere resembles that of a cozy cafe, great lighting, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. Highly recommend! 5 out of 5

Great salads like seriously amazing, I've been here for breakfast also but seems the 10/10 times the waitresses will double some of your side orders orders so their tip % is a little higher, but or if you let them know you didn't order the food double of the side order, they just give it to you for free, then you notice the side they double one looks rather old, like it was about to be discarded anyway. Almost seems like they put it on my bill to see if I'd notice/speak up, or possibly trying to get a better tip for bringing old food that was about to be trashed anyway

In from out of town and needed a quick pick me up for the family. Great cappuccino, quick service, and amazing staff that treats you like family. Delicious soups and kids meals. There is a dinner area and cafe area. We sat in the diner area and Yvette served us.
