May 19, 2026 | Culver City | After attending an event in Santa Monica, my Vegan Chef Friend & I…read morestopped over at the Culver City Farmers Market! He introduced me to this market years ago and it's fun each time! It's exciting seeing all of the vibrant produce, and often times, I'm introduced to something new! Fruit, Veggies & More | I'm amazed by all of the colorful, vibrant fruit and veggies all around! The samples are fantastic and usually gets me every time! Haha! Everything tastes so fresh, it's such an eye-opening experience! Produce straight from the farm truly makes a difference, it's like an explosion of flavor in a totally different way! I truly can taste the difference! Purchases of the Day | The Blood Oranges were so full of flavor, tasted like half orange and a bit of grapefruit! The Cherry samples were love at first bite; got the large container! The Red Velvet Plums had me at first sight, as I love the name! Haha! They were really good! I tried so many Plum samples & they stood out the most! The peaches were so full of flavor! I immediately imagine putting them in my morning oatmeal, as well as yogurt! They taste so good on their own as well, yum!! Scenery | It's quite the busy market, as there so much going on, but also relaxing atmosphere! This time there were small tables and chairs where people were dining! There was a musician playing a guitar and he started singing to me, it was really cute! People were so friendly, both at the booths and while walking around! Each booth I visited had the friendliest customer service and everyone was so knowledgeable about the items! A special thank you to the sweet girls at the tea booth! Thanks for the incredibly fragrant OSMANTHUS OOLONG tea sample, was absolutely so delicious!! Once I finish all of the different types of tea at home, I'll have to buy your tea!! Sweet Tooth | Though I was fully focused on sampling and purchasing the vibrant, fresh fruit and veggies, I also have a sweet tooth! Haha! I had a delicious pear croissant to go! Overall | A market full of fresh veggies, fruit, and other foods and drinks is always a win! I'm looking forward to going again! What a fun experience!

I'm not a real farmers market goer; I'm a creature of farmers market habit. Very fitting that I…read morejust stumbled onto this one & happened to love it. Good variety of produce and lots of prepared food options too. Of course it's near downtown Culver so businesses there are also quite active. Parking in the lot at the mouth of the market; also convenient to reach with public transit. Overall I believe this market is very well rounded. If you're looking for fruits & veg, breads or pastries, and hot food of various kinds, it's all here. Notably there is a kuya with specifically Asian vegetables priced very reasonably! Otherwise, prices range, and if you're looking for a specific farm or brand, you may be out of luck.

Sliced mango, coconut and honeydew melon. Little salt, lots of lime and chili. That's my breakfast…read moreof kings right there, gets me going. One unfortunate aspect to the fruit carts is that the stock is typically hit or miss. Some have mango, some don't and it's the same with everything else, you kind of have a crap shoot when it comes to what fruits will be available. Not here though, the guy has almost every single day: mango, coconut, honeydew, cantaloupe, cucumber, pineapple, jicama, watermelon, orange. Every day, no kidding, and with it being directly outside my place of business this cart is pretty much perfect in every way. The gentleman that runs it is the nicest guy on the block. If something is a little unripe he will keep it real and let you know. Just this morning he sliced me off a piece of mango so I could judge for myself, very kind of him instead of just unloading the mango. I went pineapple instead. I talk to him in broken Spanish, he talks to me in broken English, and somehow it all works out. Bonus points for not filling the fruit in plastic bags either, he uses plastic to-go containers which are much easier to eat from, and no worries on it tipping over if you're driving. He has small $3 boxes up to a $5 size, and if you're a fan of fresh coconut water (like me) he'll crack one open and fill you a cup for $1. Everything that comes out of this stand screams 'refreshing', I love it. I know he works about 9:30A - 4:00P on weekdays simply because he's in the prefect place with a ton of office traffic, don't know if he works weekends. Look for him right outside the parking lot of the Wells Fargo, located on Washington Blvd. And don't forget to tip! Hello, my name is Justin and I'm a chili/lime fruit addict, and it's all this stands fault.

I love this fruit stand and the guy who owns/works the stand is super nice, a professional fruit cutter and he's funny =) Like everyone else says, all the fruits are actually sweet and fresh! $4 for a big cup and $5 for a big box - you get to pick any and as many different fruit as you want! He also has salt and chili if you wanna add that too. I usually just get the cup and that fills me up.

Herb turkey, saffron mayo, cucumber, pistachios, barberries, pomegranate molasses, crispy shallots, and arugula on focaccia... sounds unconventional on paper but WOW , perfection. so incredibly well balanced. I was hoping to try the Dilly Dally, but they had already switched to the Brutus chicken salad sandwich, which was still very tasty. That said, the WLF was the clear winner. They have counter seating inside and ample outdoor seating, but also seems more of a stop and go place. Def worth a stop!

I stumbled across this sandwich spot as I was walking around Culver City, and was curious about the…read morehype because there were people lining up outside before they even opened. The service was excellent, and the cashier at the counter was very helpful as a first time visitor deciding what I should order. I don't quite remember what I purchased, but it was some sort of roast beef sandwich with arugula, crispy shallots, and romesco on focaccia. The bread is the star of the show here, it was incredibly fresh and fluffy with some flaky salt on top. The other components were also top notch, everything was really well balanced and felt super high quality. They seemed to sell out pretty quickly as we were sitting out front for awhile enjoying our meal, so going early is the best move!

Yesterday afternoon, I went to the ELF warehouse to spend a GatherGreen coupon. The coupon was a…read more$25 for $50 deal, and had expired, so I went in only expecting to trade it in for the original $25 I spent on the coupon, NOT the $50 coupon deal. As it is standard with online coupon services such as Groupon and AmazonLocal that although the promotional value will expire on a specified date, the amount paid WILL NEVER EXPIRE and will continue to be honored by the merchant after the promotional value expires, I assumed there would be no problem. However, where many vendors will not only allow one to spend the amount paid but will even allow the customer to use the promotional value of expired coupons as well, ELF would not even allow me to trade in the GatherGreen certificate for $25 worth of product. I would understand if they simply wouldn't let me use the promotional deal of $50, but just--keeping my original $25 and not giving me $25 worth of products? I was only asking for $25 worth of merchandise, for the $25 I had already paid, yet the girl acted like I was demanding a special favor. She kept saying that the coupon had expired and could no longer be honored. No matter how many different ways I explained it, she couldn't understand that I WASN'T ASKING FOR THE COUPON TO BE HONORED. I wasn't asking to spend the promotional amount of $50, I only wanted to spend the non-promotional amount of $25. This is STANDARD PRACTICE with every other online coupon service I've tried. Finally I gave up, when my phone alerted me that my meter was about to expire. Probably for the best, as my capacity for civil interaction felt like it too was about to expire. I am not one to yell or throw tantrums, but as I walked back to my car, I could see how one might be driven to such behavior. I also felt sad, because previous to this experience, I would have given ELF five stars like everyone else. Their products--with the exception of the Indonesian cacao--have never disappointed me. I've been in the raw lifestyle and a regular ELF customer for years. Maybe I've been lucky with exceptional service in the past, but this is the only one star review of a business that I've ever given, and I'm not giving them one star because their products aren't good. I'm giving them one star because my experience with the GatherGreen coupon situation was so negative that I was in tears when I left. I'm giving them one star because I don't feel good supporting them by purchasing from them any longer. This was especially upsetting because the other reason I'd gone in to ELF was to set up a wholesale account. Our raw food business has been using ELF's raw pitted botilla olives on a new pizza we released this month, and we've been going through $100 worth of their olives every week. Pizza orders are skyrocketing and we expect to use much more in the near future. However, today with only a little research I found the same raw peruvian pitted dried olives online through another one of our suppliers for $6.25 RETAIL for 8 oz., as opposed to ELF's price of $8.69 WHOLESALE for only 7 oz. We will be saving several hundred dollars a month, thousands a year, by NOT buying through Essential Living Foods. ELF would have made $300-400 a month from us, to start. I hope it was worth it to the ELF customer service lady to treat me as she did, because she lost the company she works for $1000s a year; I just placed an order for three cases of the olives from the alternate supplier I found, in time for next week's orders. At least I have her to thank for inspiring us to look for olives elsewhere. Because of her we will be saving $1000s a year. To me, that's worth the $25 they kept. ...I would also advise against purchasing their GatherGreen coupons. The reason my coupon expired wasn't because I forgot about it. To the contrary I was online several times a week for the duration of the 3-month promotion period, waiting for the items I wanted to come back in stock, and they never did...yet they continued to be in stock at Erewhon and other health food markets (where the coupon wasn't applicable, as it was an "online-only" deal). When I mentioned this to the customer service rep, she informed me that they only do the coupons to advertise their business and to clear their inventory of less popular items. Fair enough. But I won't be buying again.

ELF was my business' go-to wholesale ingredients supplier for years, and the fact that the company…read moreI handed my business over to utilizes them too definitely sweetened my licensing deal. These same ingredients have been staples of my diet, and they are also available at health food stores- you may have never noticed where those bulk brazil nuts or cashews you buy come from, but often it's Essential Living Foods on the bin labels. They sell everything from nuts to cacao powder to very niche raw superfood ingredients like maca and mesquite. Their wholesale prices are comparable to the larger corporate devil UNFI, and their retail prices are fair. I haven't tried any of their snacks, since I generally make my own, but they are made with the same high-quality ingredients and available at every health food store I frequent.

After getting my travel items, I saw the La Cienega farmers market, which is not far from a Target and a Renal care center. This small farmers market every Saturday is nestled in the corner on La Cienega Blvd. near 18th St. and the Beverlywood/La Cienega area. The minute I entered this happy zone I saw a tamale stand. The name of the stand is no longer visible or I would put a review of outstanding on whoever made these tamales. They had various kinds, and so I had a great deal, ordering the pork, chicken, and first time ever, pineapple tamales. The three tamales were large, with a sweet corn surrounding its inside of stuffed pork, or chicken or pineapple. The pineapple tamale filled with fresh pineapple is a revelation. A+ A little further down they had the mandatory kettle corn, in the corner a barbecue place where the owner was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, but I was already packed with goodies to go, so I made a mental note to come back on another Saturday. I saw a pupusa stand, which is El Salvadoran and I would've ordered some pupusa's but I had the three tamales. I did order a large watermelon juice to go. There were fruit and vegetables down another row, which I did not go down since I will be leaving and I can't store those but from what I ordered and saw, this small farmers market has enough wonderful choices. I will be back.

Some food stands including Salvadorian, baked goods, juices, and then all your produce stands. They're relocating next time so I guess I caught them on the last day they're actually at La Cienega. As usual some stuff is cheap but you pay more for local stuff. I just didn't need anything I didn't get at the store already. Sorry farmers.

All for under 15.00... what a deal. The back patio is so beautiful with the koi pond, waterfalls and fabulous greenery ...

It's in the front of the kaiser hospital and it has every thing you truly need for a healthy diet for CHEAP. There's a fruit stand ( only fruit) she's right smack dab in the middle. I got cherries from her! Delicious and freshly picked. Next to her was the vegetable guy who had a few baskets of strawberries, got some kale, carrots and strawberries from him ( he quickly sold out of the few strawberries he had and BOY WERE THEY SWEET! Omg like nothing you would find at a store) Then there's the fresh juice lady, bought a bottle of fresh veggies blended ( to add to my smoothies everyday, perfect for that and it last 4 days ) Fresh pastry lady ( her muffins were made with some sort of honey and not sugar) Then dips/ tortillas, Salsa guy ( got some crab dip) Then pita and hummus guy ( got some pita chips) I missed the peach cobbler man because I got there early and vendors were still setting up but I was trying to be in and out and I accomplished that BUT I ran across the peach cobbler guy on slauson and la brea at the gas station this pst Saturday and got 4 peach cobblers! You CANT BEAT THIS GUYS CRUST ANYWHERE! Can't wait to see him again tomorrow: There were a few other vendors I just didn't even get to see as my hands were full and I was ready to go. Excited to go back tomorrow. It's small, but the prices are cheaper than usual and there's free parking. You can't beat it!!
