We love walking around window shopping, breakfast was just ok this trip, and the coffee kinda eh... but, we met new neighbors which was lovely! Once it gets warmers vendor variety is top notch!

The biggest Saturday morning farmers market in the city . Parking can be crazy, but all the local fruit , vegetables and meat as well artists and food trucks can't be missed.

John Fleming

Literally everything is good here! The bagels from Kitchenette are amazing, but expect a long wait . The donuts and taco truck are also fantastic. One of my favorite farmer's markets ever!

Sunny

Alchemy coffee is pricey but excellent! The staff tells you about flavor profiles and origins of the beans offered. Not all coffee is created equally, try it yourself!

Robert James

The mennonites make these amazing donuts right in front of you. It's as if the baby Jesus has perched on your tongue . They're simply amazing!

Runs May-November. You're a fool if you don't get in line for Mrs. Yoder's doughnuts . You will never look at another doughnut the same. Other vendors ; veggies , bread , plants, fruit to name a few.

Go early on Saturday morning. Stop by and listen to "Mr. Blues " play his guitar and sing; leave a tip in his bucket. Proceed directly to Nate''''s Taco Truck and Blanchard's Coffee for breakfast . Bulk
