Can you say "head trip?" I've been coming to Findlay Market more than 50 years. Am I the only one who misses what it used to be? Namely, a place to buy GROCERIES? Produce stands used to stretch all the way up to Vine Street, with restaurants and shops on Vine, too, that drew market visitors to purchase spices, coffee, or get a good lunch. (Vine and Elder is now a particularly bleak corner of The Queen City). Little boys darted around selling shopping bags. Produce people and butchers sang out hawking their wares. Grocery staples (like canned goods) were available in shops, not just gentrified soaps and chocolate bars and earrings. There were so many different butchers selling their own home-made goetta and sausages that you could spend a winter working your way through them all. Shoppers crowded inside and out, elbow to elbow. Now it feels like some sort of urban adventure for hipster foodies, not like a place to get your weekly shopping done. How many beeswax candle stands and darling cake shops can a population support, week after week as the years go by? I feel like a kid whose dad has remarried after mom dies: Am I the only one who still misses what we had? Give me Cleveland's West Side Market any day....it's still real. read more

Worth the trip. Sampled lots of food, prices are very fair. Pho was really oily, but the spring rolls were fabulous. Everyone enjoyed wandering the shops, even in a cold cold day. read more

This is a MUST for anyone visiting Cincinnati. If you like farmer's markets, you MUST visit Findlay Market. There is something for EVERYONE.

This Market is awesome with a variety of fruits and vegetables, with a lot of vendors to visit, there is a vendor that has Grippo seasoned bacon. read more

Findlay Market - A great market with all kinds of fruits and vegetables ! - Farmers Market Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Let me tell you, this place is one of our favorite weekend activities! So much to do, to see, and to eat! We swear by the butcher meats and spices we get here. Also we usually try to get a couple different small bites to then sit down and have lunch. If the weather is nice, we sit outside, there is usually a musician, and it's such s great atmosphere! read more

A fun place to go with family and friends. You can try different foods. Everyone can get what they want. It reminds me of the Ferry building in San Francisco. We had the gelato place by the door and the kids loved it! read more

I'm definitely a fan of local markets like this! I've of course driven by Findlay Market many a time and thought about stopping, but never really did. I finally made it here on a cold wintery rainy day and though a lot of stands were closed, I still had a pretty good time. This is a great place for local goods by small businesses with just one little stand. There's produce, fresh meats, pastries, breads, tea by the pound, gift shops and a bunch of restaurants. I haven't thoroughly made my way through each and every single one of these places but I loved the center market area. It was plenty crowded in that area since it's pretty small and it was over the holidays. The vibe at these type of markets is always really friendly and easy going no matter how packed it is. Each vendor has been there for years and years and will probably stay there for the next century at least. It's great for browsing and picking up a little here and there to eventually eat a complete meal, or get groceries for the week. It's a but pricier than normal probably because of the rent prices the vendors do have to pay though. But hey in return you get the nice experience and friendly faces. If you end up here make sure to have plenty of time to browse and to make your way slowly through the crowd and by each stand. Go hungry so you can try an egg roll here, a waffle there, maybe some gyro? So many options! read more

Location: In the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Parking is available in various lots (not sure if these are free) but on a Saturday, they looked pretty busy!). The place: Cincinnati's oldest market is spread out across one big square (closed to cars). You'll find plenty of food shops where you can buy cheese or bread, produce, chocolate - you name it. Personally, I thought this might be a good place to find some local goodies of the non-food variety, but this wasn't the case. During the week, it's not very busy, but on weekends, it's a whole other story. I stopped by on a Saturday and the vibe was great - amidst the hustle and bustle, there were Christmas carolers and a black Santa blasting Christmas music. Loved it! Service: Depends where you go. Price point: Depends what you buy. While you're there, check out the great murals that are scattered about. read more

I was super excited to come here, I love public markets! But I was very underwhelmed by this place. For being touted as a great tourist spot and amazing market, the small size and lack of options was disappointing. Not too many lunch options, and since we were from out of town, we weren't in the position to buy cuts of meat or similar grocery products. We weren't even impressed by the outdoor stores that lined the market. Pluses were that it was in walking distance of Rhinegeist Brewery, and that parking was free the first hour and only 50¢ an hour after that. Otherwise, if you're looking for a great public market, head to Milwaukee's Public Market or Chicago's French Market! read more

MAYBE NEXT TIME! This was the most disappointing experience EVER. I had this market on my travel schedule and we made a special stop so that we would be able to get there first thing in the morning. So we pack up and head over. We had to drive through a poverty stricken area that was nothing like either of us have ever experienced before. We found ourselves caught up in a maze of sorts, (crazy street lay out), as we continued to drive around in circles trying to find acceptable parking. It was just ridiculous that parking in this area is so limited due to construction in the area and other restrictions. Here's the deal (knowing what I know now), if I wanted to visit this market I would do so using public transportation or Uber. This is not an area to be circling the block looking for decent parking, with a vehicle full of luggage and electronics and a tourist stamp on your forehead. I would prefer to be dropped off and picked up. I decided that it wasn't worth it, snapped a picture from the car and kept it moving. Ironically, I am pleased to see this market in this particular area so that the urban dwellers who need it the most have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Thumbs up! read more

I love going to Findlay Market. If you are looking for vegetarian goetta, you will find it there! It was delicious! The meat markets there cannot be beat. If you can't find it at one, there are others that probably will. If you go on the weekend, go early. The parking lot fills quickly and costs a few dollars. Parking on the street is metered except during certain times on Sundays. While you are there, don't just stop at the main building. Go out and explore the shops surrounding it. You are sure to find a new favorite cheese or wine shop! read more

Findlay Market is bae. Yes, I used the term bae. It is the only time I will ever, ever in my entire life use the term bae. I love food. And when I said I love food, I mean I LOVE FOOD. There's nothing more exciting to me than whipping up a homemade meal with fresh, local ingredients. Findlay Market is easily the best place to assist me with this desire. Gibb's cheese, Colonel Spices, Luken's Seafood, Maverick's chocolate...ugh WHERE DO I START!? Dojo Gelato gives me the much needed sugar to get through this mezmerizing maze of deliciousness. If the biergarten is open on the weekends that helps too ;) I get my bread from Blue Oven Bakery, my meats (ESPECIALLY HOMEMADE GOETTA) from Eckerlin's, cheese from Gibb's, pasta from Bouchard's...the list just goes on and on. My love for Findlay Market runs so deep...so much deeper than my pocketbook. Therefore I cannot visit every single day like I would like, but my twice monthly adventures will suffice for now. I expect to see all of you next Sunday! read more

Findlay Market is unlike anything I've ever seen, and I'm from the bay area...lol. (I mention this a lot in my reviews, sorry for you people who stalk me, hahaha) It's just incredible! great selection, open year round and during the week. I can find things that are higher quality and often times cheaper than at super markets. Seafood quality is something I've been generally disappointed in since moving from the coast (which is expected), but here I was able to find some truly great tasting and fresh options. I try to go at least once a month because it's just so great to see all the options, the people, the colorful storefronts, it really feels like I've been transported to Europe or something. It's pretty great. I've been here about a year now and I'm still finding little pieces of it I never noticed before! I'm so glad it exists. If you haven't been, you MUST go. And while anywhere else it's a bad idea - absolutely come with an appetite. There is just so much good food you can enjoy while you shop. read more

My love for Findlay Market is as real as it gets. I do as much grocery shopping at Findlay Market as possible, but sometimes you just can't get everything you need like you could at a normal grocery store. However, all my meats, spices, olive oils, condiments, produce, pasta. Those are all bought at Findlay. You get amazing quality food for an awesome price, and you know you're supporting local families and businesses. My favorite places at Findlay to shop for specific items. -Produce - Catanzano Family Produce. Mark Catanzano is always ready to help you and has you covered with great produce, that is always the freshest and amazing tasting. He always has really amazing prices too. You will pay probably three times the amount at the grocery for produce than you pay here. -Meat -Eckerlin Meats. Bacon Infused Beef, anyone? -Poultry - Busch Country Corner. Amish farms use no preservatives, no hormones, no chemicals, and no freezers. -Bacon - Bender Meats. Grippo's Bacon is really good, but they have a huge selection of different seasoned bacon. -Chocolate - Maverick's Chocolate. You can go in and sample the chocolate before you buy it, and during the winter, they have amazing hot chocolate. -Cheese & Fudge - Gibb's Cheese. I know that's a weird combination, you don't eat them together, though. Great selection of cheese and they will even shred it for you if need be. The fudge is really rich and unique with their flavors. -Desserts - Taste Of Belgium. Mini Chocolate Cheesecake. That's all that needs to be said. Just do it. -Gelato - Skip on Dojo, it's the most overrated gelato of all time. Go over to Madison's and pick up some Madisono's Gelato. They will even give you a spoon to eat it out of the pint, or they now have small mini containers for sale. -Dog & Cat Food. Toys, Treats, and Animal Care. - Pet Wants. It's located outside of the actual market. It's the only thing I feed my dog and it's super affordable. Not only is Findlay amazing for shopping, but it is also a great place for lunch. Areti's Gyros, Mama Lo Hizo, Pho Lang Thang, and the Cake Rack Bakery are among my favorite places to get food. Going during the weekend is when everything is for sure going to be open and all of the vendors are there, but you also have to deal with a bunch of people, and sometimes annoying parking situations. The parking machines are not that hard to work, but everyone acts like it's rocket science. It sometimes pains me while waiting to try and pay for parking. This is why during the weekend they have parking attendants at each machine to show people how to work it. Findlay Market is growing really fast right now. I'm excited about it. read more

I'm a HUGE fan of Findlay. If I could wake up early enough to beat the crowd and come here every week, I would. Findlay is my raison d'etre in Cincinnati. Findlay and Findlay alone (maybe Ault Park too) won me over from the bustling excitement of my former NYC home. If you're trying to get someone to move to Cincinnati (god bless you), bring them to Findlay Market and you'll have the best shot (at least 1 in 2). First of all, Findlay is fun for the atmosphere and FREE SAMPLES. So many free samples--some of the best include all the breads, Summuh (hummus), and the cheese spreads. Make sure you ask the guy who sells the cheese spreads to take out his secret beer cheese. He's not selling it yet, but it is unbelievably good. Parking is a cinch if you come before rush hour 11-11:30am on Saturday and Sunday. After 11:30 or 12, you might have to circle around the market a few times to find an open parking space. Don't come on weekdays--it's pretty deserted. Saturday morning is the best time, as most of the vendors are there on Saturday. There are a couple of lots in the actual market, and parking is on an honors system (~$2). The Best of the Best: 1. Taste of Belgium Zomg... hands down best Belgium waffles on the face of the non-Belgium earth. I used to think Waffles and Dinges, the Belgium waffle truck in NYC, was da bomb, but the waffles here are just 10x better. Perfectly crunchy and sweet. So good that I prefer to savor them plain. 2. Blue Oven Bakery Is there always a ridiculously long line? Yes, and for good reason. The bread here is Delicious. My favorite is the Bad Girl. I hear the Olive loaf is also amazing. He'll have some free samples, but take everyone's word for it that this is the freshest, tastiest bread in town. Full list of breads are on the website: http://blueovenbakery.com. Be prepared to drool. 3. Donna's Gourmet Cookies Donna doesn't skimp on the good stuff (butter) in these big bad boys. It is a universal truth that these are the best cookies in Cincinnati, so unfortunately they won't give free samples unlike the other vendors at Findlay. Get the cookies, but don't overlook the pecan pie bar. Holy macao, this thing weighs about a pound and is so dense and buttery--the ultimate treat. 4. Summuh Hippies, rejoice! Summuh (hummus spelled backwards) has the yummiest and most creative hummus blends. One of my favorites was the navy bean and beets. The spread was magenta in color and tasted so good, I dipped practically everything in it. Only downside is the price: $5 per small container that will disappear in less than a week? Ouch. 5. Pho Lang Thang Cincinnati's best Vietnamese restaurant is in the heart of Findlay Market. Come for the banh mi, skip the pho unless you are really craving it. The summer rolls are good too. Overall great food, and the best sit-down restaurant in Findlay. You can get fresh farmers' market produce here for decent prices, but really, the stars of the show are the local food vendors. Come hungry, leave happy with your week's Blue Oven Bakery loaf. read more

I have a thing for farmer's markets (my husband even proposed to me in the middle of a farmer's market!). I've always loved shopping, nibbling on a bite to eat, and just enjoying the people watching. Findlay Market has some of the best craftsman and food artisans in Cincinnati, and if you are looking to do some serious grocery shopping for a special dinner or looking for something unique, this should be your first stop! The market is a favorite stop of mine for lunch because there's so many cool places to check out. I've also done a cheese making class here, and experienced the many events they have in the summer. We are so lucky to have this great place in the heart of Cincinnati! Definitely a must-visit destination for Cincinnati visitors! Make a day of it and do your shopping then grab some Eli's BBQ to go and walk over to Rhinegeist to enjoy it with a local draft beer. read more

Love FIndlay Market and all it has become! Great place for doing my groceries with a red bike station right there. Awesome and reasonably priced food stands and stores. Great availability of fresh produce and veggies and well a lot of other stuff. oh! And such friendly merchants! My favorites: - breakfast @ Cake Rack Bakery - lemonade and chocolate chip cookie @ Ems Sourdough bread - Elis!!!! - Columbian arepa @ The Arepa Place Latin Grill - Wine Markets friendly & close encounters - English Muffins @ Blue Oven Bakery read more

I meet so many born and raised Cincinnatians who have never been to Findlay Market!! Seriously, get off your couches and experience this awesome landmark of Cincinnati! It is best experienced in the summer when the biergarten is open, the farmers market is in full swing, the musicians are out playing, cornhole is getting played, and the energy is alive, but you can still get your Taste of Belgium or Dojo Gelato fix year round. It is just as great in the winter and you don't have to fight as hard for a spot to sit down or push through the crowds. If you are a first timer, plan on a couple hours to walk around and go in all the shops. Possibly do a wine tasting, eat some awesome Vietnamese food at Pho Lang Thang, buy some tea at Churchills, purchase fresh herbs or flowers, sit in the biergarten and enjoy some Hudy Delight, and get to know some fellow Cincinnatians and local merchants. Once you go, you won't be able to believe it took you this long to go and trust me, you will be back! Especially if you ate at Taste of Belgium, you will be back A LOT! read more

Hey there, Hipsters and Young Professionals. Let's talk serious for a second. Do you like sticking it to the corporate megachains like Wal Mart and--well, mostly just Wal Mart? Does the idea of getting great food and supporting local vendors simultaneously appeal to you? Do you like to sit down and eat unusual fare like Belgian waffles and pho? Of course you do. You're Hipsters and Young Professionals. Findlay Market is a collection of farmer's markets, stalls, and shops, all locally run, all amazing. Pretty much anything you want in the way of groceries you can find here--fresh bread, seafood, exotic spices, even a sausage made from buffalo chicken, celery, and blue cheese (!). It's organized around a central indoor hallway, and in the warmer months a second pavillion-style area hosts a handful of spare tables with everything from apple cider to blueberry-infused cheese. Some vendors even offer non-food products like soap, incense, and various crafts, but these in particular you're likely to find closer to spring and summer. A row of shops and restaurants faces the main building, and I recommend sticking to that little strip if you plan on eating there, because Findlay Market proper can be a bit of a madhouse on a busy day. It's loud, crowded, bazaar-like. Great for the shopping experience, terrible if you're sitting down to a meal. Also be prepared to spend a little extra for the boost in quality. It's not terribly expensive, but it's no Wal Mart (what is?), or even Kroger. What makes the place unique is its atmosphere. It's not just a grocery store; you can make a day of it here. I'd even recommend it for a more casual date, depending on how much of a foodie your companion might be. It's certainly one of the more interesting attractions that Cincinnati has to offer, though it often goes overlooked. If you're even a little bit conveniently located, you can easily do the vast majority of your shopping there, and I would very much suggest doing so. The food is top-notch, the prices are reasonable if not unbeatable, and, perhaps most important, you can always leave guilt-free. read more

An absolute amazing and unusual date spot! I know that sounds really weird from an market, but it is one of my favorite places to go with my husband for a special afternoon. Here is what you do.... Pick a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when the weather is magical in Cincy (which I think is about 5 days a year). Each person in the couple picks out 3 items each to eat for lunch. This may be as extravagant as a crepe from Taste of Belgium or a couple exotic cheeses from one of the deli stands (ask for 1/4 pound each- perfect amount for lunch). Try to grab the hot items last. Take your goodies to one of the tables for a perfect picnic lunch. Afterwords, go to the $5 wine tasting. On your way out, share some gelato. First date or married for 40 years... It will be a very memorable day! read more

WKRP ain't got nothin' on Cincinnati when it comes to fresh markets. A public market that is year round, enclosed and open six days a week ... in Cinci? Did you do a double take? That's right, an open public market that will take your breath away when you walk through the pearly glass gates. Sat right in the heart of the city, is a perfect spot for farmers to sell fresh produce daily. A vast sort of space for vendors to open up glass cases showcasing prime-cut meats, sausage varieties and cooking compliments. There is a huge amount of eye-candy for the foodie that starts and ends outside. Baked daily bread, Findlay has it. Gourmet salads, seared fish and flavored vegetables, Findlay has it. Spices that take you to an exotic land, Findlay has it. What seems endless, is definitely the opposite. If I lived in the area, I would most definitely shop at Findlay on a regular basis. The prices are lower than most organic grocers and the vendors are beyond friendly and engaging. While it's convenient to shop at a local grocer, taking your daily needs to this public market is a definite must. It's a Cincinnati fixture and that is very understandable. It's beautiful, in demand and ideal for any occasion. If you haven't taken the venture out, you must do so and bring cash with you and get ready to have a ball. And once you've gotten all of the ingredients needed for that chicken chasseur, stop and have a tasting of wine in one of the local merchants just off to the side of the market. read more

How in the world have I lived in Cincinnati almost my entire life and never been here? CRAZINESS! It's HUGE! I went on a guided tour with samples and wine tastings which was a fun way to get introduced to the market and something out of the ordinary to do. I can't wait to go back in the summer when they have the tents/beer garden/ tables out. It is open during the week/all year round. I think people in the suburbs don't want to go down because it seems far away, but it is so worth it!!! read more

Always a great place for shopping! The steaks and LARGE chicken wings were amazing. Enjoyed trying out spices to take home to use in my recipes. read more

A gem in the middle of Ohio. Lots of cute shops and vendors from local businesses. I especially love how dog and family friendly this market is. read more

Findlay Market is one of the reasons I knew I would be ok when I moved to Cincinnati from Carolina. I explored it on my own on one of my visits prior to moving here and fell in love. I could get fresh local meat, cheese, produce all in one place? And amazing waffles and gelato?? I'm sold. I've found in the year and half I've been here that it's one of my favorite places and I always bring my relatives there when they come to visit. Every vendor I've ever delt with has been friendly and usually a joy to talk to. It's always so funny to me to meet people that have lived here their whole lives and never been because they are afraid of the area. I've never had an issue. I'm so grateful that such a place exsists here in Cincinnati. read more

Great farmers market. Much like the one downtown Los Angeles. Plentiful selection of everything and decent prices. read more

Findlay Market - What ever kind of bacon you like - Farmers Market Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Findlay Market is the oldest surviving municipal marketing house located in the largest intact historical district in the United States, Over the Rhine. Its doors opened in 1855, and it was put on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The market today still operates out of the same iron framed building built in 1852. Findlay Market is often considered the heart of the Over the Rhine community, surviving the rise and fall of the area over the last 150 years. It's current goal is "to preserve historic Findlay Market for future generations by developing it into a thriving, growing, dynamic public market that spurs economic development in the surrounding neighborhood" (findlaymarket.org). The market operates six days a week, offering a variety of food during breakfast, lunch and late afternoon hours. Tuesday - Saturday, 9am to 6pm and Sundays, 10am to 4pm. If you want to avoid the crowd, I would recommend visiting during the week or on Sundays, as Saturdays can be crowded and extremely busy. I usually go to the market on Saturdays, as I enjoy the crowd and there tends to be more merchants. Parking is not free but the cost is only $2 for two hours. If you're lucky you can find street parking, but I would not recommend straying far from the market. The surrounding area can sometimes but unforgiving or scary for people who are not used to it. The food selection is one of the best, as most merchants offer fresh foods, at affordable prices. The great part about the market is its ability to cater to the different needs of a group. I tend to enjoy the pasta's at Bouchard's and Mexican food at Mama Lo Hizo, while my girlfriends loves the Vietnamese food offered at Pho Lang Tang. The market also offers some of the freshest foods for cooking in Cincinnati. You can find all varieties of fresh meats and poultry, including a large selection of seafood. I would recommend Madison's At Findlay Market for all your fresh fruit and vegetable needs. Overall, Findlay Market is the complete package for all your food needs. read more

I love visiting Findlay Market every time I'm in Cincinnati. Cute shops, good eats, and groceries--this cute little market, although a bit small, is a perfect activity for the weekend! Be wary of parking, the main lot gets full early and finding street parking can sometimes be a hassle. Restrooms are clean and convenient! Check this place out! read more

Such a variety of food, drinks, knickknacks, you name it. Fresh pasta, grass-fed beef, cases of pastries--like wow! I have been in Cincy almost three years now and this has been the first time visiting Findlay. Its very community oriented with a mock "beer garden" at the front. A lot of the stalls offer very unique products. The tea shop has dark chocolate mint tea.. how? And amazing, they have samples. For those of us that aren't willing to wait and cook at home, there are several stalls that just have cooked food. I tried the thai shop, it was pretty good but not the best. The pasta I made later that night with fresh veggies and chicken was definitely the best! Just a quick warning. Findlay market gets PACKED! I mean there is a mini battle of fighting through the crowd in the main building. I went on a Sunday mid-morning. Going forward, I'll make sure to go later in the afternoon or very early. read more

I love Findlay Market! It can be a bit challenging to find parking in the lots on the weekend, but be patient. You'll eventually get a space. My favorite place to eat is Pho Lang Thang and enjoy buying succulents from the place right across. Eckerlin's Meats is my go to and love the sweets from Taste of Belgium. On the weekends there's live music on one end. Grab a seat and a craft beer or drink and stay awhile. The market is also walking distance to Rheingeist Brewery. Score! read more

I've been putting off writing this review because I've wanted to go back a few times to really get a chance to explore and "try" Findlay Market. But I'll just write more reviews as I go along I guess! My boyfriend came in from Chicago a few weekends ago and I've been wanting to come to the market for a while so we walked from my apartment downtown for our little adventure. As everyone else has noted, it's this square that just comes out of no where while you're walking through OTR. We thought we were lost -- but once we got a glimpse of some glistening white skin, we knew we were in the right place. Preface: I love markets. Love love love markets. I think that markets in the city truly are the soul of the city. I mean, you only really go to the market if you live in a city. If you're a tourist you may come to look but only those who live there would buy groceries there. Every where I've been, Ghana, Spain, China, Thailand, the market as always been the pulsating center of any major city. The exception, of course, is the US. Especially in suburban towns, people go to the supermarket where they can get everything they need in one place. And it's huge. And impersonal. While I enjoy the convenience of a grocery store, I prefer the market. I digress. Anyway, we walked around and I was as happy as a peach! Prices are reasonable, meats are abundant, vegetables and fruits were fresh, and those Belgian waffles! Oh! And the spice shop! The best part though, was when I ended up standing next to Dusty Baker. Yes, the Dusty Baker. As in, in Dusty We Trusty (circa 2003) and the manager of the Reds currently. He was buying bacon with his son. I almost died. Everyone was like, hey Dusty! Hey! Dusty, hi! All of the sudden, he turns to me and goes, "Are you Filipina?" I died, again. I did my little girl giggle and told him I was Chinese and he pointed to his son and said, "His mother is Filipina." I wanted to tell him that if he wanted another Blasian son I was down, but my boyfriend was standing right there. Somebody said something about St Louis at that point and he started talking shit. I was long forgotten. But that's cool - because that fight and manager suspension thing was totally bogus. This is the most digressional review ever. Anyway, Findlay Market is awesome. Dusty Baker shops there. read more

Since my first day in Cincinnati people have been asking me "did you go to Findlay market yet?" To be honest, I didn't really get it. What could be so special about a market? In OTR, the area where the same colleagues would tell me not to go on my own. Or even with my husband, in broad daylight... Anyway, we met a really cool couple earlier this week, who suggested to pick us up and go to Findlay market this morning. We left around 10h30 and got there a bit before 11. Parking was not a problem and as we got out of the car, and entered those little streets around Findlay Market, I was already amazed. So many colours - such a cute houses! Inside, I did understand why people love this market - fresh meat, pasta, vegetables, fruits... It is just so much better than any supermarket! I ended up buying fresh spinach pasta, some fruit and then... bread. As a Belgian who has lived in the UK for 2 years, bread is a delicate topic. It is NEVER as good as it is at home and I had this fear that in the US there would be nothing else but toast bread (which i personally think should not be even allowed to be called bread) or oven bread ciabatta rolls... We went to Blue Oven, which had been recommended by several colleagues and brought a baguette and a dark brown bread (wheat and honey). The baguette tasted delicious, and I can't wait to try out the bread. My first experience of Findlay market was definitely a very good one and we can't wait to get our bikes / car so we can start going there for our weekly meat / fish / vegetables / fruit / bread shop! read more

Get your butt on the street car and visit Findlay Market this weekend! The moment the street cat opens its door to let you off, you are overwhelmed with the heavenly scent of Eli's Bbq. Get some. Stop in to the gift shop next door, buy some locally sourced goods at Dirt market then make your way down to Cake Rack Bakery for a cup of coffee and a gluten free donut or slice of strawberry cake. Venture inside, pick up some ready made salads for and bourbon maple bacon for Sunday brunch, share a Belgian waffle with your bestie, then spice things up with a stop at Colonel De Spice and then cool off with a sample from Dojo Gelato. On the flip side, lift a glass and toast to the goof life at the outdoor beer garden or wine shop, stop for lunch at Pho Lang Thang before you browse the outdoor stalls for fresh flowers and veggies. Last not not least, pick up a treat from Pet Wants for your favorite furry four legged friend. read more

I was in Cincinnati from Baltimore one weekend in July and WOW you guys are holding a true gem in your hands! Nothing in Baltimore compares to this place for the sheer concentration of quality. From street food, to fresh meats, to fresh produce, to fresh flowers, to arts, crafts, and genuinely lovely vendors this place you can find almost anything you want at Findlay market. Although you might want to keep your eyes closed as your commuting into the market itself from some of the surrounding neighborhoods. It's pretty shady. All the fake doors and windows on the boarded up houses only makes the entire place look like a temporary drug den instead of a permanent one. But the market itself is very very nice and safe and clean :D read more

Love this place. Been frequenting since I was a kid. This is the heart of Cincinnati market shopping. The vendors, both inside and out, are great and always improving. From the meatballs at Eckerlin's to welcoming back the beloved Aunt Flora's with her amazing cobblers. I truly feel at home every time I visit. read more

I absolutely love Findlay Market! Just coming here makes me happy even before I buy anything. The market atmosphere is fantastic with the market hall in the center filled with meat, seafood, sausage, prepared food, gelato, spices, bread, and pasta vendors all lined up for you to peruse. There are shops outside surrounding the market hall offering a lot of the same things that I mentioned for the hall. Then there are the outdoor vendors that set up tables and tents and sell all kinds of things like soaps and lotions, incense, kettle popcorn, and food. And in the mornings during the right time of year there is the section where farmers pull up their trucks and sell freshly picked fruits and vegetables, pickled vegetables, honey, herbs, and all the kinds of things you would find at a stand alone farmers' market. My personal favorites are: Dean's Mediterranean for spices, capers, halva, and olive oil Kroeger and Sons for the best sausages (and a huge variety) made right here in Cincinnati with regionally sourced ingredients Pho Lang Thang for awesome Vietnamese food like pho, bahn mi, and Vietnamese syle coffee Madison's for fresh herbs, vegetables, and gelato Silverglades for cheese, lunch meat, and olives Mama Made It for kettle corn with the perfectly popped balance of sweet and salty Maverick Chocoloate Co. for great Cincinnati made chocolate bars Busch's Country Corner for Amish chicken and giant pickles But there are so many other awesome things as well. A tea store, wine store, olive oil store, Asian market, German style butcher shops, seafood market, flowers, and produce vendors. The weekend is the best time to come with a vibrant and festive atomosphere with people walking around and eating and hanging out. There is plenty of parking with multiple lots around the market as well as street parking. There are outdoor tables and chairs if you want to eat outside or just sit and take in all the awesome people watching. In the warmer months they also have a beer garden outside always featuring Christian Moerlein beers and rotating local guest breweries on tap. Sitting outside and having a beer and eating some food while enjoying the day is one of the best things to do in Cincinnati in my opinion. read more

Findlay Market is awesome. You should go here if you are ever looking for something to do and participate in the community events happening around. I love that you get a cultural/ historic vibe in the OTR area. The food samples are endless and the variety in what you can get is as well. It's always packed with a diversity of people so it makes shopping there pretty fun. It seems like they also have wine/ beer tasting events so that might be fun to plan on a particular day. In addition, Findlay Market also offers organic and fresh produce for a pretty good price! Belgium cafe has awesome waffles and the Thai corner has great pad thai! More to come, definitely. read more
