Finally stopped here the other week to grab lunch and I will definitely be back ! I love how lively the place is and the amount of businesses inside. You can drink and eat all day! There's a winery, a distillery, and a brewery, what more could you need ? I tried the Mediterranean cafe but I'm excited to try the bbq and the coffee next chance I get ! There is also a bakery, a creperie, ramen, pizzeria and maybe more ...
There is ample parking although there aren't technically spaces, it's just a large lot!
Definitely should be a hot spot in Quakertown.

Hubby and I have stayed in and visited Quakertown many times over the last couple of years and just heard about this place from a local. The parking lot in the back is medium sized but we had to wait for a spot to open to park. Once we were inside its like a huge food court and market. We got burgers from the brewery and probably the best onion rings I've ever had. Came back down the stairs and stopped into DOAN for drinks afterwards. This market has a food/drink place for everyone. Wish this was closer to home as it would be a nice place to meet up with friends and hang out outside on there huge patio.

Will definitely be back!

This place is awesome. It has something for everyone in an open and clean environment. We love the fact that there are so many family options plus bars and wineries. There's plenty of seating available including an outdoor space .Bathrooms are available and well kept. Very nice atmosphere!
