A trip around the world and a walk down memory lane…read more It's been decades since I stepped foot inside the Buford Highway Farmers Market, and being back felt like a beautiful reunion. The last time I walked these aisles, I was with my mama, Donna Theresa. So much has changed since then, yet the soul of this place remains as vibrant as ever. It feels more expansive than I remember. A true global treasure tucked right here in the city. I'm still obsessed with how they organize the aisles by country. In just one afternoon, I traveled from Korea to Eastern Europe to Central America, no passport required! I was officially "team sample" the moment they offered! Unlike the heavy, sugary profile of traditional American cakes, these were a masterclass in balance. I tried the Neapolitan, a stunning phyllo-layered creation that was light, buttery, and perfectly textured. But the Lemon Cream Cake? It stole the entire show. It looked picture-perfect on the shelf, and the taste was even better. It was so bright, airy, and just the right amount of decadence. Coming back here wasn't just a grocery trip; it was a win for my palate and my heart. Now that I'm back in the area, you can bet this is becoming a regular stop on my rotation.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you check the exp dates on EVERYTHING. This market routinely…read moresells old/expiring goods because there's too much sh*t in the store to keep up with inventory (see others' reviews). This is by far this market's biggest drawback. I purchased a pack of tofu along with some other items on March 11. I open the fridge a few days later on March 15, finally ready to prepare the tofu, just to see that the exp date on the pack was March 10. This picture was taken March 15 upon this discovery. I meant to update this review a while ago. I just can't spend money here anymore knowing that I'm liable to accidentally purchase old products. As customers, we should not have to be this vigilant at a grocery store... it's ridiculous.

With free parking and outdoor as well as semi indoor vendors this is a great farmer's market. I liked the variety of the offerings and the friendliness of the vendors.

I went home with mushroom coffee, a hand painted Christmas ornament, baklava, date cookies and super cute free stickers! Certainly worth a stop.

From various pickles to so many jams and fresh fruit to chicken salad to sausage to breads and so many other products. They also have an extension to the market where they have food and dessert which I didn't indulge in but wish I had from all the raving reviews of their ice cream. The experience itself was fun but the activities were lacking a bit. The pumpkin farm didn't have any actual attached pumpkins to the vines which was sad but still a nice experience. Also, the flower picking farm was extra $ and the flowers were beautiful.

It's a bit of a haul from Atlanta so I got up early one weekend and made the hour drive over to La Vaquita. While I'll say, I enjoyed my trip, I don't know if I absolutely loved it or would tell people to run here. Parking was easy to navigate through and I got a spot easily. Now, inside (and outside) really has everything, BUT I will say, this is a flea market in every sense of the word. It has a lot of junk, I mean that in the best (and I suppose, worst) way. I just didn't find the majority of the items that were being sold to be the best quality or really be anything I needed or wanted to buy. The highlight here is the food. Whether it's the large food court or the random stands that are throughout the flea market. You should by no means leave here hungry or thirsty. I think this is a great place if you want knock-off items such as labubus and things like that, but if you're looking for quality materials/goods, I would not pick them up here.

They were soft and runny in the middle, could not even cut them. If the deal seems too good to be true it probably is. You can only make a return with 1 day.

They will more than likely have mold on them.
