Mediterranean, Polish, European, Mexico, Peru, Columbia. Prayer candles, piñatas. I don't recommend the bakery, as items were not fresh and did not taste good. I'd skip that. They were professional and spoke English for check out. Nice Michigan apples outside . A very large selection of fruits and vegetables. Was hit or miss on many fruit items.

That should tell you something about the experience I have there. The selection has yet to let me down. The prices are good. The deli is great! But the true value of this place is in the staff... They are AMAZING! I could share any number of stories but Ive settled on this one for today.... I was sitting in my car about 30 minutes before they opened. The workers and what looked like delivery people were moving about their business in and out the doors. The Owner, Dennis, came over and invited me in. He knew that I was most likely there for deli items and volunteered that there was someone back there who would open up for me. I go back there and sure enough there was someone back there.... But he was performing a full pre-start break down and cleaning of the deli! I was about to swerve and busy myself with other stuff but he was right on it! asked me what I needed and got me situated with a smile and a genuineness that you can't fake. As I made my way to the checkout, I see Dennis waiting there to ring me out personally. As I'm walking out of the store, he runs out and stops me to introduce himself properly. As a small business owner, that level of service and willingness to stop everything for one customer means something.

I've been to a number of Farmers Markets throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. From the…read moremarket in Daley Center to markets on the near west side, Lombard, Brookfield, Skokie, and now Riverside. While parking can be questionable at some locations the regular and handicap parking here seems plentiful within the the square and the entire area has both a true small town feel and also a big local park feel with trees and flowers. For an afternoon Farmers Market there was a full supply of vendors during each of my visits. Many have mentioned the knife sharpening and after I had a pair of scissors sharpened I'm also a believer. With many vendors offering multiple types of veggies and plants there is a lot to look at. While I didn't buy raw honey (not super processed or pasteurized so most people say it has better health benefits and and fuller flavor) here at Riverside yet, I expect to need some at the start of the next season. There are multiple Amish vendors and I was lucky to spend a while talking to one of the Amish families about their farm and some of their core values. I've worked directly with a few different Amish families in Illinois and Indiana and have found each to be an unique experience. If you have time to talk to some of them or buy your veggies or baked goods from them you'll love the experience. Some people I've spoken to treat a Farmers Market like a bartering flea market but I find the quality to be high and prices reasonable and don't think that it's appropriate to ask a farmer or baker to lower their price when they have put some high labor in to their products. Hard work should be rewarded.

They've got groceries, meats, even liquor. All in one spot. Super convenient, honestly. I ordered a hot chocolate and a pastry. No name on the pastry, which somehow made it more tempting. It didn't look like anything i had before, so I went for it. Sat outside on their little patio and enjoyed the weather. The hot chocolate was creamy, sweet, with just a slight bitterness at the end and top of that some marshmallows, Really good. The pastry was flaky, light, and dipping it into the hot chocolate made it even better. Staff was friendly and helpful while I stood there deciding. Felt easy, not rushed. I'll be back for sure. Probably to try another unnamed pastry. Or two.

But this one was a pleasant surprise. Many farmer vendors offering a nice assortment of farm goods and some vendors with bakery items. There were a lot of berries offered also, since it was close to berry season. There were probably two dozen canopies with vendors at this site. There was a lot of shade offered by the trees in the area, and there was room to move around - for your wagon or stroller for example. Easy parking right on the street, and the market location is very near downtown LaGrange. This is a winner, so give it a try.
