Good selection, Great Quality!

I've heard the market is even better on Wednesdays but I've only gone on Saturday mornings. All the fruit and veggies are so fresh and the farmers are very nice and allow you to take small samples. The flower vendors including the orchid vendor are fantastic. Beautiful flowers and very reasonably priced.

Smaller than expected

This farmers market is actually not on the pier but on 3rd street and Arizona. Just keep walking down the 3rd street promenade walking mall and you'll run right into it at the end of the mall. I expected it to be big according to an earlier review, but its a pretty small farmers market. Just one strip. Its a nice market, with lots of veggies, fruits, flowers, honey, soaps, milk, etc. to choose from. I only saw one stand that you can order food from, but its varied, from breakfast to burgers. I also expected it to be busy - I went at 12pm and it wasn't busy at all. I like the Hollywood Farmer's Market better on Vine and Hollywood Blvd. but Santa Monica Farmer's Market was nice.

• Pros: Ambience, Parking
• Cons: Small Market

The best farmers market ever!!!

I've been coming to this market for 2 years now and I love it. The products are great and the variety is excellent. They DO have food vendors: from the creperie (Acadie- really delicious especially the spinach and goat cheese one) to Mexican, omelette parlor and more. Try the rockenwagner bakery for sweets or the Victorian bakery (inside the house) that opens only during market hours...They even have horse rides for kids...I'm going there, right now!! It gets really crowded go there early.

• Pros: creperie, fruit vendors, Victorian bakery
• Cons: parking after 11am, crowded
