I have been shopping at Dean's for probably 30 years...but I won't be going back. I had been in…read morecontact for several weeks waiting for a specific flower to be put on sale...I was told May 1st so naturally I went on May 1st to secure what I needed. Unfortunately, I was told they were not out yet, but would be the next day. I returned the next day, only to find that after weeks of contact and being there personally the day before...I was informed they didn't have what I needed, after I was told on seral occasions they would... and weren't going to have it....Oh, and they were sorry. I spent 5-6 hundred dollars a year at Dean's, at least I did. I can shop just as easily at Cahoon or Gayle's...and in the future...I WILL.

This is a great place. Not one of those massive places that seem to gobble up the market. Small,…read morefamily run. They have everything you need. They are so helpful. And the job they did on her hanging planter was unbelievable.

I've been going here for over 50 years. Ouch that hurt…read more It IS Cleveland. It represents. The produce is sooooo fresh. Forget Whole Foods, Sprouts, Fresh Market. This beats them all. And by price too. The outdoor stalls are being refurbished, and the section that is complete is just like the historic stalls but much nicer, brand new, clean. Outdoors is the produce. Inside is all the rest - meat, cheese, baked goods, spices, coffee, international foods...the list goes on and on. The ceiling is like an old train station , but purpose built in 1912 to be a bad*ss market. Gorgeous. About 130ish stalls. Cafe/bistro in ine corner, Johnny's hot dog joint in another. Kate's Fish, Peroigi Palace, Frank's Brats, Jim's Meats, Wiencek Poultry, Czuchraj Meats...i could go on... Get a buttermilk at Annemaries - salt and pepper on top is how my Dad did it. That tradition will stay with me forever. Grab a smokie at Czuchraj and stroll the stalls, get your shopping done, or just relax the day away.

Been awhile since I've been here. Parking is always a challenge. Last time I was here you had to…read moreget a ticket. Now it's a QR Code. You get 90 mins free then you pay $1.50 an hour. Pretty good. But you gotta do the work and hit the code and go thru the process. The WSM right now is under construction. So the produce side is smaller and off to the side not the main hall. Then you go out and walk around the sidewalk off Lorain to get to the meat side. Produce side is to the left. Smaller space but they have it organized better. Everyone is selling the same stuff and prices are fairly similar for each stall. But it is brighter and well laid out. I guess you can go by who looks the most trustworthy to who you buy from. Just keep an eye out to what you buy and make sure it's what you get. That was the old market. Hopefully it's better now. TBH I did not buy any veggies or fruit. Meat side is abundant with meat, fish, pastry, sauces, cheese and other vendors. You can find a deal. We got 3 pounds of ground meat for $18. Sunday is an off day some vendors are off so not all the stalls are filled. But more than enough. We also went to Christopher the bread guy for our favorite bread. So good! We got the rustic Italian small loaf and they sliced it. Good sandwiches this week for lunch. But they have a million other options too. This is a nice little treasure and it's worth the time and effort to go here. Grab lunch and hang out on W25th it's fun and worth the visit.
