Very pleasant and understanding staff. I placed a pick-up order via another service. Unfortunately, I missed the order pick-up window. Although, I had proof I paid to the third party, there is possibility Swinging Bananas would not be compensated. However, Maria was reasonable and still gave me my order. I appreciate her going above-and-beyond on my behalf. The vegetables and fruit received were in great condition. The location is a small, narrow bay in a plaza, but there were a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables in stock. I definitely will return to check out the rest of their products and support this business. Free parking spots are available just outside the entrance to the business. read more

Swinging Bananas! Found a new grocery spot for discount food! They offer a marked downs on produce and shelf goods, and most times is a better discount than the grocery stores. It isn't as big as a grocery store but it's more personal with friendly service. If you live in the neighborhood, this could easily be your local market. Where you get to know everyone. If you pass by the area walk in and grab some of their bargain veggies! The kids and I had fun on this visit, speaking with the staff and owners. It's a nice quiet corner shop .Apparently they've been open for quite some time, about three years. We had no idea! read more

Located off Oakland Park Blvd between 95 & US1, this small family owned produce and specialty grocery store can be a treasure trove of great priced fresh produce or a hodge podge of overripe (sometimes mushy/sometimes molding) produce. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Check out their Facebook (and Instagram stories) for new deliveries as the produce is based on availability of their suppliers. They also carry a variety of dried pastas, olives, spreads, and other odds and ends (even sea moss - whatever that is). If you're in the area, it's worth a visit but probably wouldn't make a trip for it if you are further away that 15-20 minutes. read more

This small farmers market was across the street from an Aldi's I had planned on shopping at so I decided to stop by and check them out. Although small and narrow they had a decent selection of produce along with some other interesting item like spices, pasta, and sauces along with live herb plants. The lady working was very friendly and offered to help me find whatever I needed. After I saw the prices on potatoes and cabbage I wished I had bought my St. Patrick's Day vegetables here. I definitely overpaid for a $5.50 bag of red skin potatoes at Publix. I ended up leaving with some strawberries and blueberries for a dollar a box. The strawberries had some spots on them I had to cut off when I got home but I just freeze them and pop them into my morning smoothie so it was no biggie. On my way out there was a guy out front selling stone crab claws. I was in a hurry so I didn't ask him the price but now I am kind of curious. I would definitely pop back in again if I was in the area. Just remember to bring cash it you don't want to pay their 3 percent credit card fee. read more

Recently discovered this store and have been a regular since. The place is small unlike boxed chains. But offer excellent prices. You cant get everything you want but for what is available, the quality is decent and prices are low. And you can get your shopping done quick. The service is quick but my only complain with the billing is that they don't print the item names. So everything is grocery - $ amount. Also, there is an upcharge if you use credit card. read more

Really cheap prices on produce. Boxes of salad for $1, corn at 3x$1, etc. Please be aware that many of the items they sell are to be consumed fairly quickly since many of them are very ripe or near expiration dates...so, it's one of those places to stop by if you are planning a meal that same day. The selection of produce changes with the day, as I've passed by many times and sometimes they have melons, pineapples, eggplants, etc...some days they don't. It's a nice place to go to if you are flexible on what to buy for a vegetable medley or meal. read more

This is a small farmers market/produce store. It's located on the south side of Oakland Park Boulevard and west of Dixie Highway. You will notice it by the tents in front of the store where there are signs and stacks of organic veggies outside. Inside, it's a fairly basic set up -- nothing fancy -- with fruits and veggies marked with price signs in front of where they are displayed. Most of the items are very reasonably priced -- but it's good to know comparisons before you shop. We wound up getting an eggplant, a couple zucchini, and a package of vine ripened tomatoes -- all totaling under $4! It's nice to have another local alternative to the regular supermarket. read more

This is an amazing little farmer's market right across the street from Aldi on Oakland Park Blvd. The owner is a wonderfully kind woman. The store always features a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables at a great price!! Selection varies - I always stop here before heading to Aldi, Publix, etc. Keep in mind, most of the items are very fresh- they are meant to be enjoyed right away. One day this past summer, they had blueberries for $1 pound- so I froze 5 pounds. You never know what you're going to find! read more

Great small local farmers market. Specials change daily. Many items are ripe and need to be used up quickly but blackberries, organic raspberries $1 per pack. Organic cucumbers 2/$1, etc. Fabulous beefsteak tomatoes were just 50 CENTS a pound! But prices change with each day's available produce. read more

There was a very bad odor when I first walked in. I don't know if it was rotting produce or what, but it was not good. A very limited selection of what they did have in stock and the worst was hundreds of fruit flies swarming the pineapples. I walked out. read more

Very nice small business owner that's hit or miss as far as products are concerned. My big issue is that u less you are on social media, you don't know what you will find. The good news is that it's right across the street from Aldi and if you continue East, you can go to Trader Joe's or WF if you don't find what you're looking for that day. The prices range from great to so so depending on the day. read more

Wonderful service and very sweet owner. Clean and plentiful. Good prices. Always a pleasure to go there. Highly recommend.

Interesting place. Great prices. A little bit of everything veggies and fruits, a couple of other items. Nice owner. We will be back.

Enjoy the variety of vegetables, always a different selection and inexpensive. The staff is extremely friendly.

Love this place. It's not big and the selection I'll limited but everything is ripe and ready to go and the prices are right. I hate seeing things go to waste because they're not quite perfect and this is the place that nothing is wasted. read more
