First day of the 2018 market today - the Blaine Outdoor Farmer's Market is a great old school…read moremarket. To avoid confusion -- this is the Anoka County Grower's Association market that's been around for well over 30 years, not the new indoor market at the Town Square. Today was the first day so there were only 4 vendors and no fruits or veggies yet. There was a baker, a large greenhouse selling various potted plants, a dog treat person, and the president of the association himself...selling organic creams, salves, insect repellents, deodorants, balms, etc. No produce yet. I bought some classic peanut butter treats for my big doggy. And I purchased some homemade strawberry jam for my kid. I also had some great conversations with the vendors. I'll be back again as produce starts to roll in! And I'll take more photos when things start to pop-off later in the summer. Thanks for another great experience! -Daddy Maxx Retro

They've pretty much got anything you're looking for in terms of Asian fruits and vegetables. I'm talking dragon fruit, star fruit, banana leaves, and so many bananas! They also have balut eggs! Not sure you can get balut eggs anywhere else in the cities. They also have a small section for dry foods. Prices were fair and everything was really fresh. They accept cash and card. Workers were super friendly too. And they have a private parking lot. Overall fantastic spot! Will definitely be making several trips here!

I would highly recommend them especially if you are planning on a large gathering. You can pick up the items first thing in the morning and they are cleaned and cut to order.

I've been getting more and more into baking lately, and I am so excited I found this place! The…read moresecond you walk in, the walls are lined with all these super fun and unique cake pans, and there are so many fun baking supplies--liners, piping tools, edible glitter/luster dust, cupcake toppers... honestly dangerous in the best way. I specifically came in for cream cheese emulsion for cake pops, but ended up wandering every aisle because there's just so much to look at. Also--huge win--they carry a ton of Colour Mill food coloring options, which are known for being super pigmented and great for buttercream/chocolate. And somehow cheaper than Amazon?? Immediate add to cart (I grabbed at least four). It's a bit out of my way, but this is 100% becoming a regular stop for baking supplies & it's supporting local so would much rather put my money here than Michaels or Amazon.

Take it from me who has tried just about every kebab place in the metro, this place has the best. They have various size options, from individual to family size.

Finally made a point to come here for dinner and excited to try out their food! Not realizing it was also connected to the supermarket we wandered the aisles for a bit before heading over to the cooked food cafe. My husband grabbed some olives and immediately started eating them while we sat in the grill area--10/10 no regrets. We ordered the babaganoush, garlic spread, and a falafel sandwich. While we weren't huge fans of the pita (very bready), the dips were so good they made up for it. Great food, great market vibes, and a fun place to try something new!

Located near the shopping area in Brooklyn center, Empire Market. This store faces Pollo Compero. When you walk into the store, you'll see the sitting area in the middle. There's a deli towards the back of the store. Fried food in the hot oven, otherwise there's picture menu on the window. We ordered the dish at the counter and walked around the grocery store while waiting. When the food was done, the lady walked it out to us. Pay at the cash register when you're done.

When I got there the lady said the chicken wasn't dint and I'll have to wait another 20 minutes. I left to go run errands and came back.

I usually love the food here but lately the quality has decreased.

This location is often busy and sometimes there is some produce that needs to be thrown that is bad or expired. Shelves are typically well stocked. I've seen some meats clearly gone bad from time to time as well. They recently got rid of over half their check out lanes for self check out which hasn't been bad but was just a surprise to see. Come with a list, be sure to check out the fun seasonal items, and don't forget to bring your own bags!

It gets only 4 stars because the checkout situation can be nuts, especially when busy. Whoever designed it, had zero foresight in giving checkout customers a place to wait in line and keeping the main aisle open for other customers shopping. Instead, it's roll the dice on which line to get in, fight your way to the front, every man for himself! Other than that... it's great!
