The Original Farmers Market

Sadly I was underwhelmed with this place. I love farmers markets, they’re often the highlight of my travels but this was a huge let down. It’s a tourist trap with high priced take out food. Some of those foods are interesting, but there was only 1 produce store in the whole place. Not a farmers market! Interesting for nostalgia reasons only.

What an absolutely charming market! You can feel the passion for food here, and many of the shops have been around for decades serving their signature dishes. The atmosphere is lovely with trees providing shade for the main seating area, and the market is very clean and well taken care of. Some highlights included Magee's corned beef sandwich, coffee and doughnuts from Bob's Donuts, and the curry puff from Singapore's Banana Leaf. If you're in the West Hollywood area, don't miss this stop for a delicious meal in a quaint market.

The LA Farmer's Market and The Grove was an experience not to be missed. If you haven't been there it's amazing. There were tons of people. Lots of cool shops, lots of food places, and many wonders for the eye and your wallet.

I wouldn’t say this is a Farmers Market but has transformed into a really cool food fair with side vendors selling anything from hot sauce to wine. I would recommend you walk around and everyone in your party pick a location to eat then bring back and share

My Mom used to take us here when we were little. Way before the Grove was built. The only thing you could see was the CBS building.

I took my husband and he loved it. He enjoyed it so much he is looking forward to the next time. He saw fruits he never seen before. Lol. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Amazing Place, must visit when near LA. We attended Fall Festival Weekend. Made a a day exploring historical Restaurants serving through generations.
Live music and food was perfect combo we indulged for 4-5 hrs.
Parking is available but little costly. Some Vendors do validate your ticket for 1:30 hrs, so don’t forget to ask.
Must try Food , New Orleans dishes at Gumbo Pot and don’t forget to get Beignet’s with Chicory Coffee if you have craving sweet tooth 😋

Such a fun spot to just browse, especially around lunch time. There are so many fun food options, as well as such a great variety of stores you simply don’t easily find anywhere else.

A pickle store? A hot sauce store? A massive store of French products, both edible and non-edible, that makes amazing sandwiches, too? A place that serves espresso shots in mini waffle cones? You can find all of that and way more here and you can easily spend hours browsing the market.

On a bus transfer from the LA Cruise Port to the LA Airport. Stopped here for lunch and to look around.

Had a good BBQ sandwich at Bryan's Pit Barbecue. Good food at a good price.

We really enjoyed our visit to the farmer's market. We walked around and stopped at a few shops. We ate at Trejos Tacos and then walked around The Grove. The market is really clean, and even though it was crowded for lunch, we were able to find a table to eat our lunch.

Always a treat.

So happy to find McGee's continues to thrive and didn't expire in the Pandemic. Wonderful ham sandwich.

Dupar's is still there with reasonably priced pies!!

Littlejohn's candies, wonderful pecan rolls, chocolates, fudge, etc!
