The plan: Marla's for a pastry , Blue Bottle for a NoLa coffee . Then the cheese monger. Take a number, get 1:1 service. Then bread . Then the date guy outside on the south side. That's the blueprint.

Evelyn Tan

Come with an empty stomach to this nice and big market where you can find a good selection of food, drinks and local products . A place you should not miss in San Francisco!

Arjun Sundararajan

This is a Saturday only market and I'd go there for the free samplers and festive environment. Eagerly went to this stall hoping it has something to do with cricket - the game!! No it's edible insects

Raul

Amazing place! Perfect for brunch and lunch , loads of organic and fresh food options, just by the bay inside a beautiful historic building (Ferry building) in pier 1! Strongly recommended!

Serious Eats

Farmers and food makers from the Bay Area and beyond show off their best produce and specialty items at Saturday's Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco.

Luke Bornheimer

On Saturdays, the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market includes food vendors behind the Ferry Building, offering up a wide variety of cuisines and delicious treats. Wander through the options then enjoy a meal.

Krista Vogel

Great farmers market ! The lox at Cap'n Mike's Holy Smoke is amazing, and of course we picked up some Blue Bottle Coffee . Lots of samples, too!

Vansi

Cheaper than Whole Foods and lots of different things to try. There aren’t that many produce vendors though.

Ashley Bowles

More vendors that I can count! Pie , produce, jam , bread , meat... something for everyone!

Diyana D.

This place reminds me so much of the Danish Torvehallerne - amazing place! Especially if you are into local greens, fruits and a foodie person in general, great stores too!

Kimi Thornton

A must on Tues/Thurs/Sats for foodies. Visit the food trucks , fresh meat and produce stands, or stop into the ferry building for some blue bottle coffee and a waffle , cheese , wine , honey , the works.

Jenny Lo

Even though it is touristy , it's also a great food place for locals. Packed with the greatest SF local food vendors, no better place than here to experience the SF food scene.

For the love of God and all that is holy, please don't feed the birds, they are getting aggressive!

tue, thur, n sat. I almost only come on sat morning - lots of outdoor "unique" vendors, yummy food, fresh fruits & veggies ~ super crowded but I do not mind the crowd at all ;D

Ashley Spears

Come with friends and do a building sampler -get a little something to eat from all of the vendors for your own DIY food tour . Fun for out of town guests!

Richard Gregory

This market is perfect for tourists and locals alike. The fresh produce here is fantastic. The strawberries are phenomenal and the meats are next level.

Ashley Mowrey

Walk around once to snack on samples, then again for the food trucks/tents, and then finally to grab coffee and buy fresh food from local merchants and farmers.

Theresa De

Great selections of veggies and different items that you can’t get everywhere. I find the producers are very informative about their products. Love it.

Bravo

Chef or not, one of the most beautiful sights to behold. From the views of the bay to all the amazing local products . A seratonin rush for any foodie. Say hello to my favorite farms , Tory Farms and Ha

Matt R

The pastrami Reuben from Wise Sons Jewish Deli on Thursdays is easily the best Reuben in Northern California. Canter's in LA is the only other place on the West Coast that even compares with it.

MLO

Everything's great. You can go wrong, unless you didn't get a dozen oysters on your way out. That would be an epic fail.

Carollyn P

Early Saturday morning breakfast ritual--delicious food from one of the many food stalls . Primavera , Hayes Street Grill and Hog Island Oysters are my favorites.

A concentration of some of the Bay Area's best farmers and artisans . A real food lover's delight.

Richard Gregory

Get some strawberries and your drink of choice, then sit outside on the bay side and watch the world go by.

Carissa Bilinski

If you are craving Blue Bottle Coffee on those crowded days, head outside to the south side of the market - they have a kiosk outside, as well .

Brian Strauss

The gold standard of farmers markets in the US. Better than the Green Market in Union Square NYC.

Just hang out, people watch , try samples and you're set. Oh and I guess get blue bottle or pressed juicery

There are several vendors of locally produced cheeses here - lots of samples and very reasonable prices!

Dirty Girl Produce has a table of the BEST tomatoes I have ever had (called "Early Girl Tomatoes "). For sale and for sampling! :)

The highlight of my week when I worked near Embarcadero. Don't leave San Francisco without a visit to the farmers market and grab some fresh produce – open Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday.
