Little Italy Mercato

San Diego's largest Farmers' Market spans more than 5 city blocks. Enjoy fresh food , crafts, & live music every Saturday from 8AM-2PM. Crêpes are popular but the line moves quickly!

A must-visit during a San Diego stay. Open every Saturday from 8:00 am - 2:00 pm, this farmers market is the biggest in San Diego. You can find everything from fresh uni to loads of local produce .

One of the best Farmers Markets in all of SoCal, if not the best given the location/ambiance. Allow more than adequate time, this is a great venue and refreshing exercise.

Love to do this every Saturday AM in Little Italy (now on Cedar St). Bring your reusable shoppers and cash. They say "no dogs," but they're everywhere (and adorable).

Awesome farmer's market but really smells like urine (probably from all the dogs?) everywhere! They should really do something about it.

One of THE best in San Diego! Look for the Crepes on the corner the Mercato, super delicious. Line may be long, but it moves quite fast.

The side streets add to the ambiance and cultural feel here. Beautiful church and reminds me if my childhood.

Get pad thai or drunken noodles (and coconut pancakes ) from thai lady. In front of cottages bn state and Columbia. Yum yum !

they have really great produce selection♥ and they have a really really fresh flowers !

Great selection. Beautiful view of the harbor . Definitely my favorite farmers market in San Diego . Face booths : La Creperie & Bitchin Sauce

Lovely place with varieties of things

Several blocks of complete farmer's market awesomeness. If you are wondering what to do with your newly purchased produce & other food items, check out kitchenkonfidence.com for recipes & inspiration.

Love our early morning trips to this farmer's market . Great produce and specialty/local goodies!

If you can get past the crowding as you move street to street, it's got wonderful produce, flowers , and vender choices.

Highly recommend the strawberry stand near Date and India. The ladies have the BEST berries there.

Orange coffee truck , oysters , Carmel sauce and pastured eggs are some of my favorites.

The best market in San Diego spend the morning and have lunch on the street.

Best farmers market in San Diego , love the creme brûlée

Great market with lots of fresh produce

The flower stand right at the intersection of India and Date Street (near Cafe Italia) is my fav. Lots of white blooms (my personal fav!).

Get here before 12pm for fewer people and more product options!

Drink the green juice samples...lettuce, spinach , kale , etc. all liquified into tasty goodness.

Fun shopping there. Lots of fresh vegetables , fruits were there.

I always get a bar of natural soap from Sunset Soap Co. at the east end of the mercato. It's $5 and lasts a month and is super worth it.

Go to the tamale stand at corner of Date and State . They sell tons of fresh produce and the owner of the farm ALWAYS throws a few 'extras' in for free :))

Great mixed street market in San Diego.

Linda's Brittles Gourmet Nut Brittles will be at the Mercato again this Saturday, 8/11. Get your "brittle" on!

Jesse Graham's flower stall at corner of Date and State has the best lilies and he's a cool guy too!

Golden raspberries , fresh fruit , pretty flowers , and some bitchin' sauce are all necessities. And the orange truck has great Vanilla Lattes

Live uni all day errday

You have to try the pineapple teriyaki beef jerky and strawberry watermelon lemonade . Delish!

All foods grown from the ground. I am a regular.

Do not miss Jesse, young guy w his dads lilies grown in encinitas. They are amazing! And he's nice.

Parking is tough. Best bet is to park a couple blocks away at a parking lot and walk there.

Bread and garlic oil samples :)

Best farmers market I've seen yet in San Diego!

Awesome Saturday outing for fresh fruits , veggies pastries , hummus , etc. Music is awesome with Manny Cepeda!

Grab yourself some live uni!

Try the vanilla bean quark from Spring Hill . Great with apples , you'll be back for more!

This is pretty much the best farmers market in San Diego

Biggest and best market in town !

Fall so fancy (you already know).

So much fun with amazing food

Try the chantrelle mushrooms ! Hand-foraged and delicious! Perfect for vegetarians .

Pull pork and mashed potato parfaits are the bomb!!!

Make sure to stop at the " La Crêperie "

Jackie's Jams are amazing! And they take credit cards ;-)
