Parking is a nightmare, the layout makes no sense, and getting in and out feels like a test of patience. It tries to come across as trendy, but it ends up feeling more like a collection of random businesses with no real flow. Unless you enjoy circling for parking, dealing with traffic, and wondering why you came in the first place, there are plenty of better places to spend your time.

Ever since Montrose tore down the Disco Kroger, and the establishments, Montrose hasn't been the…read moresame. The fear of more high rises being built in this area has been a huge let down in the community. This isn't the right area for high rises and it's sad. Thankfully, whoever bought this lot, has really made an effort to collab with local Houston vendors to showcase their homemade artwork and food trucks to sell. This new "temporary" addition to the area has been a great livelihood to people who live around the area. Especially for myself who lives just down the street. I noticed when the lot being torn down, and cleaned up, small little tents started to pop up and then weeks later, on the weekends, more and more tents. And eventually a full on market. Its gotten so much attention just driving down Westhiemer that you can't help but pull into the lot and check it out. I've personally boughten a few items from local vendors and its nice to know that you're supporting the community. They open on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday from 12-5pm.

This is a great place great vendors, very service oriented and honest about the productread more

I enjoyed stopping by and walking through all the stalls on a Saturday last month! A friend and I…read morewanted to see what all the buzz was at the parking lot after driving by. It was not a particularly busy day for the farmers market but we had a nice time strolling along and seeing the variety of produce, handmade pasta, baked goods, and other items for sale! We stopped by one booth for a sample which had packaged Indian curries that can be easily boiled as a meal for one. At $10 we found them rather steep, but quite tasty! There was also a dumpling booth that seemed quite popular. This is a nice farmers market perfect for a relaxed stroll on a Saturday! Very family-friendly and a nice mix of local Houston finds.

This is more of an outdoor food court than a "traditional" farmer's market. There are vendors who…read moresell pecans, salsas, probiotics, lavender bath products, soaps, succulents, etc... but there are far more vendors selling prepared foods. Afterall, this market is smackdab infront of Downtown Houston's City Hall and only up and running on Wednesdays 11am-2pm - LUNCH TIME! I mean, who really wants to buy a bag a produce and haul that back to the office? But samosas? Or puposas? Or a plate of soul food? Cold brew coffee or fresh juices? Hell yeah. That's a fantastic lunch. And all in an outdoor setting. This market features 30+ international food vendors from all over the world. Jerk chicken. Brazilian churrascaria. Dumplings. Tacos. Additionally, there are food trucks a'plenty. AND... there's live music. I'm lucky enough to work from home, but you downtown "deskies" can appreciate the fresh air, music, vitamin D and good eats.

Located on the artsy…read moreand colorful Esplanade along Navigation, this market is open year-round - but only on Sundays. It's not a food/produce/meats heavy farmers market like many others in Houston, but you will find some local farmers selling produce, eggs, CSA boxes, and pre-packaged meals. And you will find a lot of artists goods/gifts and unique purveyors: dog food/treats, soaps, jewelry, bagged coffee, barbecue sauces, Indian food... If you are ever on the hunt for a locally-made and unique gift for a friend, check out this market on a Sunday. I recently bought a handful of gifts for a friend's birthday (and a purse for myself!). On a hot summer day, like the present, they have industrial fans blowing in every direction; they also have live music (sometimes mariachis on holidays). The newly placed shipping containers house permanent shops that are open beyond the market hours, so you're able to check them out on different days of the week, including Perry Ideas and Rasa Libre Coffee (they sell buñuelos, too!) I think as the crowd grows in size, more food and produce vendors will pop up. Support this market on a future Sunday, and then pop over to Ninfa's for some margaritas and brunch.

Heights Farmer's Market has quickly become a popular destination on the second and fourth Sundays…read moreof the month (9am -1pm). While there are a couple of farmer's stands with fresh produce, nuts and dairy, I would say most stands sell prepared food items. There's a wide range of items from fresh baked bread, salsas, kombucha, donuts and more. There's also several coffee vendors to grab a nice beverage to sip while strolling the booths. Parking is very limited for this market. Expect to park on a neighboring street (be sure to pay attention to parking signs) and walk a couple of blocks to reach the market. Another solid option is to walk or bike in from the heights bayou trial. This is a great option to get a little exercise and reduce congestion in the area. Overall, a great market! Don't forget a reusable shopping tote and bring some cash if you can!

FAVORITE VENDOR: Miya's Munchies. Her pot pies are fantastic. Not to be missed!…read more This market is held the second and fourth Sunday of every month. Rain or shine. If you want to be certain, check their events website (https://www.heightsmercantile.com/events) for upcoming dates. Parking was a slight inconvenience, had to find something on a residential street nearby. Nice market, on the small side. Grabbed a few awesome products -- local honey from Bee2Bee, seafood pot pies from Miya's Munchies (she's got both frozen pies and hand pies), and some gluten-free sourdough bread from Leven. Everything was good but like I mentioned above, the pot pies from Miya's are amazing. My one complaint would be the lack of produce. Only spotted one vendor with a relatively small selection. You can always head to the Houston Farmer's Market on Airline Drive, which is open daily. They have loads of produce. Maybe this goes without saying but it gets brutally hot. Parts of the market were in direct sun so please be safe. Water and sun protection. Leven bakery sells fresh coconuts to sip from. They're very refreshing but too small to share (and priced at $8 each). Might be a good idea to bring some water from home.
