The Fritter Co

I would like to write a bit about a little shop "The Fritter Co" that I would like to highlight because it is so worth visiting. This shop is in the St. Jacobs Farmer’s Market, so it is only open either two or three days a week but when it is open it is so worth stopping to visit it. One warning that I am going to say that you are going to have to be prepared to stand in line, but the wait is so worth it.

We discovered this little shop during of our visits to the St. Jacobs Farmer’s Market and now it is a stop that is on our list for every visit, and it has now become a spot where we have breakfast on the day or days, we are visiting the Farmer’s Market. This shop offers warm apple fritters that are something that I am going to say that I cannot miss having when I am at the market. 

The staff are extremely friendly, and service is prompt, and my biggest advice is when you go is to order at least 6 of the apple fritters because I don’t think you are going to just want to eat one of them. The first time we went we ordered 6 thinking that we were going to get one for a snack and then take the rest of them back to the hotel to have later. Well, before long we had finished the first one each and then started in on the second one and by the time we left the market there were no apple fritters left.

When so many of us think of an apple fritter, we think of something with a lot of dough with a little bit of apple bits mixed in. Well, in this case we are talking about slices of apples with a light batter around them and fried and then coated in sugar and cinnamon and served warm.  For us, what we do is we order the half dozen and immediately sit down and eat them because they are wonderful warm. I am not certain what they would be like once they were cold because we have never let them get that way.

I know that we go to the market we are prepared to stand in line to wait to get our fritters but for us it is so worth the wait because it is a treat that we get when we go to the market. For me the biggest recommendation is if you are going to go and get some apple fritters is to enjoy them when they are freshly made and not try and take them home because they aren’t going to taste the same.

I do know that the next time we are at the St. Jacob's Market, it is going to be very easy for us to figure out our breakfast and this time it might be twice given we are going to be able to go to the market twice during our next stay in St. Jacobs.
