***** The Boys Farmers Market.
Jeff Eats first “reviewed” The Boys Farmers Market on 5/6/2009.
That review is reprinted below.
It is now some 5 1/2 years later- and I just wanted to tell -new as well as old- Jeff Eats’ readers that I LOVE this joint-and if you live or work anywhere-near The Boys Farmers Market make it your business to shop there…trust me, you will be thrilled that you did!

If you can “handle” its parking-lot…with senior citizens “backing in and backing out” non-stop…The Boys Farmers Market is an absolutely great place to shop for fruits, fresh squeezed juices, vegetables, baked goods, cheeses, wines, candies, seafood, meats, coffees and prepared chicken/seafood/meat dishes.
Just guessing here, but The Boys’ probably has something like 30,000 square feet of indoor space jammed with top quality FOOD. All the free samples that you’d like…and everything sold, runs circles around joints like Publix, Winn Dixie and Albertsons, not to mention-probably cheaper.
My family has been shopping at The Boys Farmers Market for years…and I have been amazed by two things…namely, that we have never been involved in a fender-bender in its parking lot & the great stuff that it sells.
The Boys has its own bakery, squeezes its own juices and prepares its own “take out” food. This joint is an absolute-winner. If you live in the Delray Beach area, you probably already know about The Boys…for those of you who don’t, you got to go shopping there…just be careful in the parking lot.
The Boys Farmers Market is open 7 days a week.
I would dive in to that Chocolate Chip Ring any day of the week (and twice on Sunday)! Great call!
Like you, my family has been shopping at The Boys for many years.
The Boys is a great place to shop and its bakery dept is just one small part of it huge selection of foods.
I have gotten that RING many times and it is sensational. The only problem with it, it’s like pistachio nuts. Once you have a slice, you literally can’t stop eating it!
That cake looks delicious. Right now I am picturing my self sitting with a big slice and a-hot cup of black coffee at my kitchen table.
Love The Boys. This coming week I am going to make it my business to pick up that cake during my weekly shop.
Jeff.
That RING is awesome.
It’s one of my favorite cakes at The Boys.
AND my money says that you also know that the RING
also comes in a Chocolate Pound Cake With Chocolate Chips. It’s delicious!
Ellen G,
Just had a chance to read your comment.
Of course I know that the Ring comes in 2 versions- white cake and chocolate cake. Mrs. Eats and I have been eating both for years.
With all of the above in mind, yesterday afternoon Mrs. Jeff Eats brought home the pictured RING, thus the Dish Of The Week Award featured the white pound cake version!
Thanks for reading,
Jeff Eats
You are the man!
My husband and I have been shopping at The BOYS for 30 years. Great market!
As crazy as it may sound, we have literally been in the bakery area a 1,000 times and must have seen the RING and the Chocolate Ring on the second row glass shelf literally the same number of times and never bought either one.
Long story short, yesterday we got both. We gave 1/2 of each cake to our next door neighbor and kept the other halves.
Anyway, The BOYS now has 4 RING converts. Both were absolutely sensational.
The sad part of the story, is that my husband and I missed out on these cakes for years and they had been sitting right in front of our eyes.
Jeff,
Thought I would buy a RING this morning at The Boys. A woman behind the bakery counter told me that they were out of both white and chocolate as yesterday afternoon and earlier this morning all of them had been purchased. She told me that tomorrow morning they would have more freshly baked ones.
Go figure!

Thanks for reading.

Got one this morning.
Had a slice and it was delicious.
Very airy and light.
Great recommendation.
Jeff,
Just wanted to tell you that I followed your recommendation and purchased a RING.
Not really sure as to how many RINGS The Boys had, but I did see the one you wrote up and 1 which was chocolate flavor.
Later to day I am going to share the cake at my mahjong game.
I’ll let you know how the cake did with us.
Last thought, the cake in the box was much heavier than it looked in the bakery case. For 11 bucks its seems like a lot of cake for the money.

Jeff,
The cake was amazing.
All 4 of us loved it.
The cake was huge, so we shared with 2 other games in the card room. Same delicious comments,
Tremendous recommendation.
Next week, going to try the chocolate one.
Hey Jeff,
Picked up a ring yesterday.
My husband and I had a couple of big slices for dessert last night and they really hit the spot.
Terrific recommendation.
Thanks,
Maelanie Garson
Jeff.
Got one on 2/26 paid $10,99
Went today to get another ring and they had both white and chocolate rings now priced at $11.99. Bought a chocolate ring.
Wanted you to know of the $1 price increase just 2 weeks after your story appeared,
Since you wrote up the cake Ive had it and also had the chcolate one. Loved both.
By the way, Ive thrown slices into the microwave for a few seconds and they came out great.
