The Speckled Pear

Welcome to the neighborhood: The Speckled Pear MarketI've been watching the social media posts about this new business locating in downtown Fort Mill in the space that was formerly GoodLife Organic Market.Owned and operated by locals, Mike & Robyn Bader, they hosted their soft opening today.I was welcomed and greeted by Robyn and her staff who give me a mini-tour and overview of of all their offerings.This is a Gourmet Food Market, they have prepared foods, wine by the bottle and a very nice selection of cheeses. They have a 'grab and go section' as well as a nice selection of low card, low sugar cold beverages.They have a 'starter' selection of wines as described by their Staff Alejandro. He is learning his market and audience and seems open to a selection of wines that fit a range of budgets. They also have a selection of chilled craft beers.I saw they also have some pasta options for those that are looking to cook.They also do custom charcuterie boards and catering as well.I selected a bottle of Mariella and Grace Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Puglia, Italy.I saw many options that would make great Christmas gifts, tis the season!I'm most excited about their future plans to have tapas and small plates. Robyn said they are about 2 weeks out from beginning that service where they will serve wine by the glass.You can sit at the large live edge wooden community table, at the bar or one of several 2 or 4 top tables.It's really nice to have various food options when you live in a small town like Fort Mill. This will fill a void that has been missing from the current foodscape.Though they are in 'soft opening' mode, I would highly recommend you do your part to stimulate the local economy and support this local owned and operated business.There is limited on site free parking but there is a FREE Municipal lot just two blocks away adjacent to the Bank of America.I was pleased to learn they offer a Vet & First Responder discount.

It's always exciting to welcome a local small business to Fort Mill. I love the eclectic atmosphere and the natural light. The opportunity for small businesses to offer their wares too. The flavors are amazing; however, the price to portion took it down a star. I think for the price of the sandwiches a side should be included. A few of my other favorite locally owned lunch spots nearby do include a good sized main with a side and I'll probably err to visiting those locations for price/portion for lunch. The Ahi Caesar is a tiny portion for $19 without tax- just an FYI don't order if you are hungry ;) Still very fresh and flavorful though. Service is top notch.

WOW!! My wife and I tried this place out and it was awesome. Small on the inside and brunch is available 12-3. The food was great and the service was top notch. A gem of a place that would be able to be just about anyone's go to.

I know it's hard to plan a visit to a neighboring city, but man oh man, jump in the car and go have some small bites and a bottle of wine from The Speckled Pear. This little market has all your favorites. How do I know because it covers all the bases. Coffee, check, wine, check, beer, check. There's a little section of grab and go foods, a tapas daily menu and whole wall of wine. Count me in. They even had fresh pasta from Mano Bella in the freezer. Be sure to sign up on their email list and follow on socials because they will also have pop up fancy, schmancy wine dinners.

Came in during their soft opening this weekend & I am blown away. We really needed this spot in Fort Mill. Running a limited, rotating daily specials menu, they were out of the sandwich we wanted to try. But the ahi tuna salad and corn chowder with bacon was incredible. They also have a nice selection of grab & go items like fresh pasta, wine, etc. The owners are so gracious of the community support, too. The space is so nice and the atmosphere is very welcoming & unpretentious. Highly recommend following them on Instagram to check out their daily specials.

My husband and I had brunch at The Speckled Pear and the food was exceptional. He had the loaded potatoes and I had the deep dish gruyere quiche along with mimosas. The flavors of each dish were well balanced and better than most brunch restaurants we've experienced. The service was great and the atmosphere was tasteful and innovative. We also purchased a loaf of organic sourdough bread to enjoy later. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.

This place is next level. Such a great experience and value. We had the fresh sourdough, lobster bisque, short rib beef soup, and this chicken and mushroom risotto I can't remember the name but it was amazing. Great value in wine by the bottle. Live music. Such a quaint space.

I truly love this place. From the ambiance and wine to the amazing food it serves. I like the overall feeling of dining here and the food ain't bad . The owners are super nice and friendly. I have only one thing I would say could be better, I hope they start baking their own breads and such soon. I think this wouldn't them apart. I had amazing lunch the other day but took home 2 chocolate croissants that tasted a bit old, almost stale. Otherwise I've only ever had outstanding food there and would highly recommend a visit or two. There's a very large table in there so take your whole family or get a small table for 2 but whatever you do, don't pass this place up!

Total 5 star experience Food , service and ambiance. Best lunch destination in Fort Mill , I plan to try them again at anytime they are open! If you have a special occasion, they will make reservation ... So glad I found them!

Plates are cleared and house is empty - most important though is how delicious and tasty the food from the Speckled Pear was. We picked up a variety of tapas for our event. The presentation was delightful, particularly the charcuterie board and the fruit plate. . I can't say which dish pleased my palate the most. The lamb chops were the bomb, though the rigatoni with pork cheek ragu was tough competition! The hummus and the mushroom pate were both outstanding and the bread board with fresh butter - yum! Each dish had its own appeal and was evidently prepared with care and freshness of ingredients in mind. High 5s to Robyn and Mike - I am absolutely delighted with the service they and their team provided with wonderful attention to detail and theexceptionally high quality on each of the dishes.
