Love, love this market. Whenever I am in town to visit family, I make sure to visit this market…read more There is a great vendor that sells breakfast tacos during the winter and you can buy their tortillas to go! Lots of meat vendors, the pork chops we got were amazing. Also, many local honey vendors, flowers, as well as bread items. I cannot get over the bakery items. I was able to get a great sourdough round and some baguettes for dinner. My daughter loves these spicy cheddar rolls from one of the vendors (keep a look out for them). You cannot go wrong. It is in a central spot that makes this easy to get to, free parking and it is open fairly year round. As a tidbit, it is right next to my favorite coffee shop that makes a great Vietnamese coffee!!! PROS Free parking Lots of vendors, almost year round Great location Great people CONS Nothing, just go and enjoy the stroll

How does someone not love the St. Paul farmers market? It really is the OG for farmers markets…read morearound the Twin Cities. I have been to that one across the river, all I can say is they don't grow bananas in Minnesota. I have been visiting this place for decades, and I really love the way it is evolved well staying true to its roots. You need to have products that have been grown or made within a certain radius of Saint Paul. When I first started visiting, it was mainly growers, but as a farmers markets have expanded in the Twin Cities, some farmers have gone elsewhere. That means we are seeing more vendors of other types of food. People who forge mushrooms, people who make their own cheese. Bee keepers. The world's best pierogies. Tibetan dumplings. So many delights. It is bustling every Saturday and Sunday. It should be a weekly stop for everyone.

Love this place. Been going here since the early 2000's when it was much smaller. They've added on…read morean entire section and a bunch of decor since then. Would have given it 5 stars if it hadn't been for the owners grandkid who was literally allowed to run rampant. Everyone was staring as he smashed carts, slammed stuff into the ground, and ran around yelling. The teenage staff laughed and said there was nothing they could do but they agreed it was a problem. I finally asked to speak with the owner (grandma) who didn't seem to take it seriously at all. Customers were shocked and gossiping about it. I've never seen this happen before so I'll go back but if it happens again I won't return.

They not only have can't fur pies and an unforgettable experience that will last a loge time. The things that are there are also cool and worth going for that alone. There is also cool sodas there and a bottle opener wall out the door with and looking bottle openers! The line was also not long you got out quickly after you got your snacks.

If you have ever thought of a sugary item or looking for something nostalgic from the past, they will have it here. Prices are super reasonable. Ample parking. Service was friendly. Plenty of items to peruse. Give yourself a very minimum of 1 hour as there is just a lot going on inside to miss out on.

We haven't been here in a few years, mainly because they don't have reminders popping up on…read moreFacebook and we just forget. Still the same amazing selection of pop - try Earp's Sarsaparilla. They also have an amazing amount of candy, puzzles, gifts, apple baked goods, etc... My favorite candy as a child was Broadway licorice and they have that. Only cash and checks are accepted but they have several ATMs. It can be very busy here but there are several check out lanes and lots of parking.

Came for lunch and to find some short ribs for Christmas, and left a bit disappointed on both…read moreaccounts. The short rib section was sadly empty so I will have to shop at a few other grocery stores for my Christmas entree. As for the hot and ready to eat foods I grabbed, I had the vegetable egg rolls, sesame tofu, and fried rice. The egg rolls and tofu were good and passable for a quick cheap lunch, but the fried rice was near inedible. Veggies were cooked and tender, flavor was good, but the rice was entirely undercooked. I struggled to even find a single grain of rice that wasn't raw and hard and since I had mixed my rice with my tofu it nearly ruined lunch. I wouldn't call this experience indicative of of Eastsides typical good quality food, so I wont judge too harshly, but I hope this experience wont repeat itself.

They have 4 food bars with a huge variety to suit everyone's diets and meal programs including tofu, salmon, various vegetables and fruit combinations. They also have the deli feature entrees and sides. I can tell you though that later in the day the deli entree items are minimal but the entrees are made fresh daily so you know it's fresh if they have it. I opted for a salad with turkey breast and I tried some of the red farro salad which was really healthy and tasty. I like that they list calories and ingredients too. Many dressings to choose as well. There is a small seating area which makes it nice so you don't have to leave and figure out where you're going to sit and eat.
