The Original Farmers Market

Great place to visit. A little bit pricy but good stuff

Looked very cool. We didn't know it was going on. It was a pleasant surprise to happen upon!

There’s a European shop with wine and cheese and sweets. I’m European so I was excited to shop here. They gave me moldy Brie and had to throw it all out….

It's a fun to go with family or friend. Great variety of food for everyone. Plus the Grove is next to it to go shopping after a nice brunch! I did expected more clothing store but is good.

This farmers market had a huge selection of vendors, fresh produce, and great little eateries to enjoy! Plenty of breakfast and lunch spots, as well as deserts and pastries. This is not something we're used to in Chicago so I'd say this is a great one to come check out! Definitely try the donuts!

Cool place. Way too busy but we found out why. Great selection of food and food outlets. Tiny shops. Very narrow isles... if you're concerned about closeness you will Definately want to wear a mask here.

Really love this place! You can find a lot of different little shops and restaurants at this Market. During weekends this Market is always busy. In addition, I can recommend a very nice coffee shop at the Market (right next to Roxy & Jo’s Seafood Grill). They make a super delicious Earl Grey Latter.

This post is now during the a year long Covid-19 pandemic in March 2021, but my comment reflects on the past time when I visited LA a few years ago. This Farmers Market is one of my most favourite places to go in LA. It is a huge market with so many kinds of food throughout the market, each food stand has their own uniqueness to offer, food is always fresh and very good. The whole market is always vibrant, busy and so much to offer. There are many locals and visitors from all around the world and the place is filled a great energy and people and always fun to go there. My favourite moment is to grab my favourite dishes every morning for breakfast or in the afternoon for lunch sit down at the outdoor seating area and enjoy the delicious food while watching many people around me. Although it could get super busy especially during the day, sometimes hard to find the seat, I found morning time is less busy as many locals are going to work so left with some tourists so I usually go there before lunch hours to avoid line ups or having to walk around 10 rounds to find my seat. I also like the fact that the market is adjacent to the shopping area, The Grove, so I could spend hours just in that area. Not sure what extent of negative impact has been brought to this place after all of this long lasting pandemic. I wonder those family owned businesses could survive...But nonetheless, I still have a lot of fond memories going there and hopefully I will be able to go back there sometime soon in the future after everything settles down and we all can go back to the long awaiting happy & peaceful normal time.

Cute must see at least once if in L.A. it's an experience for sure.

Having been here a few times...
Super busy 6-8 pm. Long lines, parking is a mess as there's a long wait to exit.
Probably your best shot is visiting btw lunch and dinner times when less crowded.
