Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I didn’t get through everything but I had breakfast upstairs at the little cafe, and it was the BEST breakfast I’ve had in a long time the food and coffee were great but Courtney made my whole visit worthwhile! She is an absolute riot and makes the best impression and is such a ray of sunshine. Definitely have a chat with Courtney upstairs while you wait, you won’t be disappointed!

Good fish market and a little bread shop serving coffee and fresh made breads. There is local art on the walls and a spot upstairs to have a lunch or snack.

If you find yourself passing through Gibsons Landing this is a nice spot to pickup some specialty cheeses, meats etc. It has a bit ofeverything if you are visiting a B&B, and can add some specialty items to your stay.
Don't forget to go back behind the Market and enjoy a nice walk along the Marina with access to Lower Gibsons and all of the quaint shops.

There is coffee and snacks available upstairs and good seating arrangement. Fireplace and art display. Downstairs is a selection of small stores like a Cheese Shop, Fish Store, Green Grocery and others.

Amazing place with many options for everyone! There is an aquarium inside which was pretty neat. The cheese and meats section was fantastic, which very knowledgeable employees. We enjoyed the popsicles, cheesecake on a stick and the very best iced earl grey ice tea. THE BEST. Im still thinking about the iced tea. The building is very rustic with a modern twist. The surrounding area is nice with the marina and a small garden. Perfect for snacking on some crazy red breads crackers and 10 year old cheddar!

everything is expensive at this market; chocolate, seafood, meat, cheese and flowers. It is okay to visit once and have brunch/lunch but we would not bother to re-visit unless friends visiting ask us to take them there
