The Burley Market is about to look and feel a bit different than it has the past 18 months. We’re excited to bring back our market, Friday evening small plates & cocktails, wine down events, music, Cynthiana Bourbon Society tastings, and the cozy Burley vibe that our customers loved when we first opened in May 2019! We’re getting back to our roots. Here’s how.

 

Our mission was to offer a small, simple menu featuring seasonal, local ingredients and to bring people together around the table for quality food and drinks. We offered a couple of salads and sandwiches, quiche, soup, coffee & espresso, baked goods, and desserts, made to order as well as a grab & go option. During the past several months we expanded our food menu to keep afloat while mandates greatly affected our services. We took our market away, added more tables, and offered table service as a way to socially distance but we never intended to be a full-scale restaurant with table service and a cook-to-order kitchen.  We are now moving forward, getting back to our roots with the laid-back, casual style customers loved while continuing to provide exceptional fresh food.

 

Starting next week, we will return to counter service to place orders but will now offer a more simplified, convenient grab & go style with our refrigerators stocked with freshly prepared sandwiches, salads, and more. But don’t worry, quiche and soups will still be hot options we’ll keep around! Our new offerings will be posted on our website at the beginning of next week and online ordering will still be available. We will continue offering cinnamon rolls, quiche, avocado toast, parfaits, and baked goods for breakfast, but will no longer offer a full cooked to order breakfast. Instead, we will be expanding our pastry selection and add several new healthy, lighter options. Our bakers are going to be busy!

 

You can enjoy your coffee or a bite to eat at our tables or in one of our new cozy seating areas with sofas and lounge chairs. Plug in your laptop and use our Wi-Fi to work from our café or do a bit of homework! Over the next few weeks, our market will be restocked with many wonderful retail gifts, food, and Kentucky-made goods. We have some exciting new offerings coming in our retail area and will share more soon!

 

We know change isn’t always easy. We’ve all had a big dose of change and had to adapt over and over throughout this pandemic. Everyone is ready for normal -whatever that is! We are so grateful for your ongoing support and love for The Burley Market and we look forward to continuing to offer fresh, tasty food and drinks made with quality ingredients.
