    I knew about Montrose for a while now from LA based magazines and reviews of Yelp friends. I wanted to check it out because it's close by (near Glendale) but has that old time charm hard to find nowdays. Never got around it till recently and that's OK. It's always fun to have some places around LA area on your list that you're excited to check out, even after years of exploring this huge city! I was looking for an anniversary outing, closer by since we were tired after hosting family in town. So, Montrose fit the bill! We went by on a Sunday, right in time for the Farmer's Market which was fun to check out. Montrose reminds me of the main street in Monrovia (Myrtle Ave) or any other Main Street USA. It's charming, has a laid back vibe, has a lot of unique stores and it's fun to browse. Not too many blocks, just a few, but cool, nonetheless. Since we stopped by a few days after Christmas some stores were closed for the holidays and as an European I understand the need of longer vacations and celebrations, so I'll go back at some point and check out Montrose some other time of the year. Usually the close at 6 pm, so plan accordingly. But there are many unique stores to shop at, with interesting merchandise, some specialized in vintage, antique items, cute clothig boutiques, a few art galleries, a bowling alley (too bad it was closed for a private party, maybe some other time). And a few decent restaurants, a bit for everyone - from dinner food, coffee shops, kebab places, New American hip cuisine, Vietnamese, Italian, Spanish, etc, some more casual options, some more dedicated to fine dining. Great choices!!! Pretty X-mas decor that added even more charm to Montrose, locals milling around shopping, nice holiday atmosphere. I wish there were more cultural activities in the area, besides the one indie bookstore and few art galleries that were closed. But we got to see one of last (and prettiest) sunsets of 2018! Parking - easy on a Sunday, lots of street parking on Honolulu Ave and on side streets, free that day. Otherwise, paid meters and some lots around. Montrose isn't a long, bustling street like State St. in Santa Barbara, so don't expect a lot of excitement. But if you're looking for a charming, classy place to explore, indie stores to shop at, a cool restaurant to have a bite at during a nice weekend day, this could be a nice choice. You feel like you're on a trip in a laid back small town even if you never left LA!

    This area on Honolulu Avenue in the Montrose neighborhood of Glendale is one of our favorite hangouts. It's not too big, not too small. Aside from Starbucks and Coffee Bean, the rest of the street is composed of independent businesses. There's a mix of clothing boutiques, jewelry stores, specialty shops, dance studios and marshal arts dojos, services (like Montrose Travel Agency) and a wide variety of restaurants. Due to this eclectic blend, it offers a small town Main Street sensibility. We like to visit here after spending time at Descanso Gardens, as we did last night. After a yummy dinner at Black Cow Cafe, we went for a walk to ease our full stomachs and be present in the area. We noticed many new businesses. Feels like a renaissance, especially with some of the dining choices. Looks like we'll have more to explore on future visits.

    Nowadays, most shopping centers, plazas, and malls are inundated with large corporate stores lacking any true character. It isn't often that one finds a Main Street-esque shopping area of times long gone where each shop is local, independent, and unique. Thankfully, one doesn't have to look much further than the Montrose Shopping Park. The Montrose Shopping Park is like a trip through a time machine and into the past where all the locals gather to both shop for all of their goods and also feel a sense of community. You can almost see the horse-drawn carriages of the 1800s clopping down the street. The area encompasses one main street (Honolulu) with a few channels wavering off filled with small, local businesses. What kind of shops, you ask? A children's book store (Once Upon a Time), candy and treats (Montrose Candy Co), Faye's (women's clothing best suited for the elderly), a watch shop, art galleries, an ice cream parlor, toy store, an incredibly amazing retro bowling alley with only 7 lanes, and even a station for the Glendale Police (it is tiny!). The side streets feature a bit more of the health and beauty-inclined storefronts such as martial arts studios, hair salons, and vitamin shops. Basically, the Montrose Shopping Park well-situated in diversity. Naturally, the Montrose Shopping Park features several eateries, cafes, and restaurants. Most of these are local and independent with a a few mainstream stragglers (Starbucks, Coffee Bean, and Mamas and Papas Pizza). Each eatery features outdoor seating perfect for warm and romantic nights. Want to grab ingredients to cook for yourself? The Montrose Shopping Park is anchored at the end by a large Trader Joe's plus a library where you can grab a book to read while you eat. So what makes the Montrose Shopping Park truly stand out? The environment. First of all, it is nothing short of quaint and 'cute'. The streets feature benches under flowering trees and it is quiet and peaceful. In fact, it was so quiet and 'slow' that you almost forget you are in LA and can compare the ambiance to a sort of lower-level Santa Barbara. During the holidays, the street is decorated and filled with shimmering lights which is quite gorgeous to drive through at night. Plus, the area holds farmers markets, art walks, and other local events truly bring together the community. Main tip? Many of these are shops close early (6pm) and "late" is 8pm (restaurants are open later;) so definitely call specific stores for times if your shopping trip is urgent. Parking is somewhat tricky: street parking with meters but also a "local parking" lot (there are signs pointing to this). The meters are free after 6 pm. The Montrose Shopping Park is not the place to go to find commercially main stream goods but if you are seeking a unique gift in a peaceful environment; then you have met your match. Honolulu is a great place for a stroll with a loved one (lots of dogs around so not ideal for those afraid of 4-legged furry friends!) and will certainly bring an air of romance to those who favor less-populated shopping centers. The Montrose Shopping Park is a solid choice for a weekend outing!

    Montrose shopping park is the best kept secret in LA. It's actually not a secret, it's been there since the early 1900s... Yet few people know about it. In fact, most are genuinely surprised that a place like this exists in Los Angeles. Above the highest crest in Los Angeles, nestled in the foothills, and overlooking DTLA, rests the charming town of Montrose. Quaint mom and pop shops line the tree covered streets neatly tinseled with lights by night. There are over 180 shops serving the community with everything from boutiques to fine dining to health, fitness, and bowling. Whether you need retail therapy, ideas for a date, or a soothing day at the spa, there is something for everyone in Montrose. If you're looking for a short getaway from the hustle and bustle of LA, come to Montrose. It's 20 minutes away from DTLA and 10 minutes from Pasadena. Montrose is by far the most gorgeous, charming town in the whole country. Any and everyone in LA needs to come here and come often.

    Montrose is a charming old town with a great family atmosphere! Excellent farmer's market on Sunday, walkable historic downtown, great ambiance with twinkle lights on the trees, and excellent assortment of restaurants. One of my favorites is Casa Cordoba, Basin 141 and Paradis Ice Cream. Cute shops, too!

    Farmers market located along the busy Glendale Blvd (cross street - Larga) that opens every Sunday…read morein the morning. This market has pretty much everything you need an more when it comes to produce and prepared foods/goods that you can take home. Lots of options for food to eat then and there as well! As expected, the vibe here is pretty hustle and bustle with lots of food traffic coming through. I used to live in the area during the early 2010s and used to frequent this farmers market. If I recall correctly, it used to be able to fit in the parking lot of the Wells Fargo for the most part. I visited for the first time in years, recently and the market expands through a few blocks and lots. I enjoyed it before, but now they have a comparable selection of some other notable farmers markets around the city. With the expansions and heavier foot traffic, parking can get a little tough. I parked about three blocks away and it was a nice day have have a small walk anyway, but just know that you may have to search around.

    I heard so much about this Atwater Village Farmers' Market and being Sunday, I wanted to give them…read morea try to see if it's good or not. Walked in at exactly 9am, and there was already a long line. They had a lot of food options to choose from along with lots of beautiful, real plants. They have over 30 vendors and some even let you try the food before buying them. Parking situation was a disaster, No parking and one of the streets near buy was closed. I had to circulate like 4 times, parked 2 blocks down and had to walk to the Market. I bought couple of scented candles, loaf of olive bread, 4 Croissants, dozen eggs, 4 beef Pupusas, fresh Sunflowers from their floral vendor, 2 regular size ground beef tacos with cheese and tomato from their taco stand, 2 Apricot preserves in a jar, got fresh berries. 5 Peaches, Strawberries, and blueberries, and one cup of decaf. Coffee to enjoy with my croissant. Place was clean, and dogs were very annoying being in the presence of food and people. They have dried fruit, nuts, few clothes, jewelry, and more.. A small pony ride with carousel in the back for kid's entertainment. Everything was overly priced and not worth paying the money for. You can get all that at your nearest grocery store for a lot more affordable prices. It was worth giving this place a try though.. I think I will stick to my Studio City Farmers market that is literally 5 minutes away from my house. They also don't have parking, but it is somewhat more manageable than this one was..Remaining food that doesn't sell, they make a donation to the nearest charities!

    MY 600TH YELP REVIEW!!!!! Woohoooo =) Okay yelpers, I am…read morewriting my 600th review on yelp, and I picked something super special to me, and to the community. My husband and I recently moved to Burbank (from Sherman Oaks), and we previously frequented the farmers market in Studio City. We are big fans of leisurely weekend trips to a farmers market where we can sip a little hot coffee or tea as we peruse the various vendor stands. We were so glad to see that our favorite vendors (with ready made foods) from the other farmers market ,which occurs on Sundays, were all at BFM. We loaded up on our usual items, and tried a few new to us things as well. We do wish there was a vendor there with coffee or tea, but this is so close to downtown Burbank, where we popped in a local coffee shop and got our hot drinks to hold us over on our farmers market shopping trip. Now that we know this gem is here, we will surely be frequenting it. The Burbank Farmers Market is in a parking lot at Olive and Glenoaks on Saturday mornings 8-12. Shop local and small biz!

It's located on a parking lot near what I think is the downtown Burbank area. Despite the small footprint, it still has what you need with some produce vendors and other vendors of various goods. Including prepared foods. Also, to be fair, it was crazy windy that day and it was only my first time coming. So it's possible that there's more vendors usually. The wind actually ruined some vendor's tent that particular day so it could've caused a few others to close down early. A couple of friends in mind stopped by to grab a few things for a little bit together later that day. Luckily, it was a quick in and out and we found some really good parking.

This farmer's market houses all goods from yogurt to produce to meat to necklaces. The variety is absolutely amazing, and the market is also very organized. Tip: Go before 9am if you want to find the freshest vegetables, otherwise a lot of the good stuff will be sold out by then.
