Came hoping to grab some pizza, but that didn't work out. Peace pie only had stale slices out at the time so we went with a brew from Black Label instead. Their Winter Warmer Ale was something else! The espresso stout was decent l, but I'd recommend the Warmer! We came in at 5 or so, the only shops open were the brewery and Peace Pie, I'll have to come back earlier. Great spot, good vibes, solid beer.

Coming in from out of town, great spot to eat if you're unsure where to go, this spot is a gonna have to be a must when I come back. I got the thai pizza, which was really good, though with all the ingredients coming together, it kinda tasted closer to a bahn mi sandwich My girlfriend got the chicken caprese sandwich, I got a bite out of it and it was great the chicken was really tender and the sandwich was VERY structurally sound, she also got the mac and cheese for her side which was also good eats too The food had me stuffed, and normally, I eat pretty good. we had to get boxes for our food, and we were scootering back to our hotel with the and unfortunately I dropped the box of food But yeah, it's a great spot, especially if you're coming in out of town. They got something for everyone.

Absolutely bangin Thai Rice Bowl! Very GF/DF/vegetarian/Vegan friendly. I am GF/DF and had a surprising number of options to choose from - including mac&cheese.

This is a good spot to hang out for the afternoon or if you need something quick. The hours of the businesses are very consistent. Boots has been a welcome change to the ever rotating restaurants that have been there in the past that opened when they felt like it. Hatch Coffee has good service but the drip coffee is VERY strong. Cheap refills. Wish Black Label had a small wine selection, but most breweries don't. Peace Pie has nice big sandwiches on fresh bread, and the salads are also very good. They sell pizza by the slice and all their prices are very reasonable. Service is dicey, even on a good day. Sandwiches are so big it's 2 meals for me, and they're only $13. When you catch a fresh pie coming out the pizza is excellent. $5 slices on Tues.

Peace pie at Saranac Commons is a great place to get a pizza. The crust is excellent and the toppings are fresh. The specials are, to say the least, creative. But also really, really. Put in your order, grab a table and then go across the aisle to Black Label Brewing for a beer. Service is excellent, even on a busy Friday night. This was our first visit, but we will definitely be back.

Multiple businesses in a common space. Pizza, coffee, brewery. I recommend the strawberry jammy jam brew. Owner of Black Label brewing company is super nice and helpful. I don't usually drink beer but he let me try a few before finding one I liked. Plus he gave me a sticker! Who doesn't love a free sticker?
