A cute, little kitschy location in the ASU area where you can stop in for a grab-and-go drink, shop their grocery selection, or stay to enjoy a drink. The service for a quick drink to go was very friendly and I can see myself stopping in when I have time to enjoy a beverage at the bar. read more

See all

I've been here twice this week, and so happy I found this gem of a place here in Tempe, close to ASU campus. Initially, I came here thinking it was some kind of grocery store as the name had me fooled. This place is right off Farmer Road, so hence the name, I think. They do have a few produce items, but they're sort of a hodge podge of everything. Part cafe, part deli, part bar, part night club. Hard to describe what this place is, but overall, a cool, friendly place to kill some time. Can buy a few snack items here, they do sell bags of coffee, plenty of cold drinks in their fridges. From Wed to Sunday, from 4-9pm, they do serve pizza. I also spied some vegan chocolates in their display case, will give them a try when I am in the mood. They have draft, canned and bottled beers at the bar, and potions and poisons (cocktails and mocktails) available. What sold me on this place is their Ms Pac Man arcade game in the back area. It's a sit down game and the owner figured out how to rig it and it offers up plenty of games and it's free. Staff and owner are super nice, which is largely why I stopped in, stayed for awhile and gave my business to them. There are also music shows and other events here, so check out their calendar also. I miss places like these which has personality, owned locally and doesn't feel corporate. Great place and I'll definitely be back often! read more

This place was deceiving. It's not a traditional farmers market with various vendors, rather it is a small space with few options.

I found this place while waiting for Thai Basil to open. The store is stocked with organic and local produce and products! Overall, this store has a local vibe. While here, I bought a swim top for the summer and it was only $5 and very cute! The staff is very down to earth and personable, and there are a lot of unique products. 5/5 stars - Can't wait to come back here! read more

I love the Tempe Farmers Market for its soaps and wonderful food. Tempe is such a vibe read more

Cute little place! I'd been here once or twice years ago but stopped by today. Got some fresh produce which I am very excited to use in my meals this week. Also got a pumpkin curry burrito made my forest eatery that I cannot wait to try! They were selling some shirts for $5 too which was cool. Glad I had the opportunity to stop by again! read more

Tempe Farmers Market - #CortezCoffee fresh and so good. Find the man Ron Cortez for a cup of Joe. - Farmers Market Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

It's basically a bar with very few groceries. Idk I was expecting some fresh produce to purchase but nothing like that. I don't drink so I wouldn't return there. Seems like a cool vibe if you're trying to have fun and have a beer. read more

The name Tempe Farmers Market is very misleading. It was a huge disappointment. It's a bar scene that has live music. They definitely need to take farmers market off the name. I went to support the local farmers but, only saw a small refrigerated section and no produce. The customer service was un inviting and awkward. If you're looking for a very dark odd bar with some live music this is it. If you're looking for a local farmers market, stay away from this place. I'd give it a zero rating if I could. read more

This place is awesome because they support and carry many things from local artists and bakers in the valley. The vegan deli is my go to... as well as the pastry counter. So much goodness here. In addition, the staff is cool AF. It's like coming in and seeing family... that you actually like... and catching up like old times. They just started selling alcohol too, which makes it an even cooler place to hang out if you're looking to unwind. In the Tempe area, come here for sure and experience this local treasure. read more

Tempe Farmers Market - The best vegan pastries - Farmers Market Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I was selling some stuff to Buffalo Exchange next door and saw this cute little Farmer's Market building! I was in need of fresh veggies for a Thanksgiving appetizer and thought, what better than locally grown veggies?! So I popped in to take a look at what they had. I have to admit, I was a tad disappointed by their produce inventory. It didn't look the best and some of it looked like it came from a vendor, not a local "farm". They also didn't have a huge variety of veggies. I was looking for pretty heirloom veggies, colorful carrots, etc. That said, they do have a pretty decent variety of vegetarian and vegan food options, many local, many just from organic vendors. They also have grass fed beef, organic chicken, etc. If you're really into eating clean and all-natural, this would be a good spot to check out. For me, it didn't really serve what I came for so I didn't end up buying anything. The best part about this place is that they carry a lot of local products and for that, they get the 3 stars! They also have a market where you can pick up lunch! read more

Local produce! Freshly made vegan burritos and pastas! Staff is so nice I'll never stop coming here

Let me start by pointing out that they're on the corner of Farmer and University so the name might have to do with their location for all the people crying "Ugh... It's not like a real farmer's market?!". So that said, they are basically like a healthier convenience grocery store (a small selection of basic grocery staples, produce, meats and beverages of the crunchy and organic variety) which is cool for those of us who live in the neighborhood. Not sure how well they'll fare once Whole Foods opens up across the street but hopefully they'll stay in business. It's a cool spot and they actually saved my butt last year by being open on a holiday when most other stores were closed (low carb enthusiast in the family decided they wanted potatoes with dinner- go figure). Anyways, I dig em but to each their own. read more

I agree with most of the previous patrons about this farmer's market, and my review is very negative. My boyfriend and I were here around 9pm to pick up last minute groceries, and this one was the closest to us on our way back home. We were in the mood to make some Turkish dolmas, and I handpicked whatever decent sweet peppers were left in the vegetable aisle. The peppers that I did not end up picking were extremely wrinkly and they clearly needed to be tossed into a composting bin. Meanwhile, my boyfriend was trying to pick ground beef from the freezer, and he was overwhelmed with the prices. We ended up choosing something outrageously expensive, and I think it was $12 for 1.1 frozen ground beef. At the register, I told the store owner about the lackluster quality of the vegetables, and then hinted that he should probably make it cheaper for customers or just don't sell it at all. His response was "I'll wait for tomorrow's shipment." All in all, we paid $24~ for 6 green peppers and a pound of ground beef. Needless to say, I will not not come back here again for groceries. Go to sprouts, and you'll get a better value out of your dollar. read more

Finally! A farmers market in downtown Tempe! They are located literally across the street from the old co-op that left a void in the neighborhood when it was torn down to build some pie-in-the-sky condo tower. (Which never got built and never will. We got a big, ugly, empty, useless dirt lot.) The Tempe Farmers Market has done everything right: it's located in an old brick building that they have fixed up, they carry tons of Arizona products like fresh produce, salsa, jam, honey. (A lot of it made right in Tempe.) They also carry meats, artisan breads, milk, soy milk, chips, candy, coffee, tea, syrup, and granola. They even carry pain killer, allergy medicine and condoms. There was even ceramic art for sale. I could not have made this place any more amazing. They took all the right ideas and created something that Tempe has needed in that location for a long time. (Bet you're sorry you didn't listen to me now Fresh and Easy!) Let's be honest: downtown Tempe is by far the most urban area in the valley, yet we had no stores like this. But thankfully we do now! I plan on buying all my produce here from now on. Thank you to whoever did the work to make this happen. This neighborhood resident is thrilled. read more

They have a bar there... The Dark Side .. Nice people. This right now is a local bar... Not many people there only been open since Halloween 2019 . This is a small place not a lot of hoopla very nice people. The bartender is Amanda...SheIs a sweetheart read more

This is not the typical Farmers Market that I've experienced. It's more of a tiny, vegan convenient store with a deli. I walked about a mile to get here and I really didn't want to walk away empty-handed, but there was nothing that appealed to me. I was hoping to find a few items to put together a light late night dinner. I had a few ideas about what I wanted, but after I spotted the practically rotted bananas and wilted cilantro, nothing appealed to me. The guy at the counter was nice and I almost felt bad for not buying anything, but I just couldn't. read more

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS! I love this place - it's been my go to for fresh locally grown produce, refreshing smoothies, late night munchies, and my caffeine fix whether that be a yerba mate or a matcha. read more

I love this farmer's market because they carry Crow's Dairy Goat Cheese. You seriously need to try this cheese. The pepper goat cheese is amazing! The store is small, but has a decent selection. I'm really just there for the cheese. :-) read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVE this spot! Great find for local organic produce and they have an amazing lil vegan deli as well as a great assortment of smoothies and juices with all sorts of add ones (cbd oil, bee pollen, etc). We do smoothies all the time and these were seriously amazing (Pom/Fig/Raspberry and tropical green w ginger). We also tried the ricotta lasagna (all vegan) and the southwestern potato salad (also vegan) and both were SOOO good! Really nice touch is that they also support and sell foods made by local businesses . Some products even have pictures of the small business owners with a little background on them, which is so sweet!! Support LOCAL!! This place is a little gem in downtown Tempe. Right across from Whole Foods. read more

Oh man, where do I begin. So basically my supply had ran dry and my normal dude was still in Nicaragua for Thanksgiving even though he was suppose to be back two days ago. Can't blame him, it's a big deal down there. They basically fasten Wolverine style claws to Turkey's and let them fight to the, well, you know. It's basically like our version, except with jicama dressing and mashed plantains. Anyways, it's a good time. Unless you're me and in desperate need for "glaucoma release." Which brings me to my first error in judgement. Did you know that farmersonly.com isn't a marijuana service? Cuz' I didn't. Made a profile and everything. Only thing you will find is a lot of sexually confused men in camo with pictures of their goats, and really big women dressed in flannel with unfortunate tattoos. Anyways, one of the women apparently had the hook up so I figured we'd meet at one of the main hangout spots for farmersonly.com. This brings me to my second mistake. Tempe Farmers Market is NOT affiliated with farmersonly.com. Also, beware the lady that goes by "Sue Flay" on farmersonly.com. It's really a dude with a pig. Definitely what I wasn't looking for, hence why it took me a while to bump into the guy. Here I am, standing in the middle of Tempe Farmers Market, singing the jingle to farmersonly.com. Do you know how many times I had to yell out "you don't have to be lonely?" People were getting so mad at me that I basically had to start buying up all this random produce. Found some really nice jicama and plantains for my homie when he gets back in town. I can definitely attest to Tempe Farmers Market having quality produce and a very understanding, laid back atmosphere. Anyways, found some hipsters hanging around the organic apple cart that hooked me up. Even bought one of the apples to smoke out of. Yooooou dont have to be lonely, at the farmers market in Tempeeeeee. read more

I love this cute little grocery shop/vegan deli on University. I come here all the time after work outs or when I'm across the way at Buffalo Exchange. They have great cold pastas and burritos, if you want to warm them up there is a microwave in the shop. They also sell local vegan pastries like donuts, cookies, and cinnamon rolls. I've had the nom cookies but have yet to try the others. I've heard they are all fantastic, especially the donut holes when they come in fresh. So far I've had the breakfast burrito and southwest pasta, both were tasty. They also sell single so delicious ice cream bars which are great. They sell smoothies and juices as well but haven't gotten around to trying these. Great spot with lots of vegan fare. I love that it's a coffee shop, smoothie bar, deli, and grocery store all wrapped into one. Thanks for all the yummy food and treats! read more

Not a fan. Went in to grab some snacks for the drive home to Vegas, hoping to grab a bunch of local breads, cheeses, and other little things but the store is tiny and selection is dismal. Produce area barely had anything in it, half of store seemed to be supplements and beauty products. I would have rather gone to Sprouts and spent less for better selection. The locally made tamales looked like a good deal, would have preferred they not be frozen. I do like that there's a coffee shop counter in the back, but no one seemed to be keeping an eye on the area so I got a drink elsewhere. read more

Nice local grocer with good options for vegan and health foods. Customer service there is excellent as well and the paninis are good

*disclaimer I AM NOT VEGAN or VEGETARIAN * I work next door and eat here multiple times per week on my lunch break. They have a great selection of snacks, drinks, vegan entrees and also have a full coffee bar. This isn't a place I could complete all of my grocery shopping, but you can definitely get some great produce and organic snacks. I definitely recommend stopping by for a quick lunch or for a sweet tooth fix. I'm not vegan and I love their vegan entrees - Specifically the burritos *I am deceased 'cause they're so good*. Be open minded and give them a try read more

Great place with many different options for all kinds of diets. They have great vegan meals. All produce is fresh and I would choose the smaller local market over whole foods all day! read more

I liked this place, though their products are more expensive. I'm happy to support small, locally sourcing businesses. But I won't support a business where I received mediocre customer service. I walked in to get GT's kombucha, which I can get for a few quarters less at Safeway but I was in the area of Tempe farmers market. After selecting my beverage, I got to the counter and was asked if I was a student, because ASU students get discounts. In two years of occasional visits to this market, that had never been brought up, but apparently it's been ongoing. I get the 10% discount, though I am a little disgruntled that I had never been asked about it before. I go to open my drink, at which point the liquid explodes everywhere (the drink is highly effervescent, but never like this). I'm sitting there, getting drenched from the kombucha and none of the three employees just standing behind the counter takes notice. I ask for some napkins and an employee just pointed over to a table. At this point half of my drink is on me and I am not able to enjoy all of it. "Aw man, that sucks" was all I got from the man behind the counter. Whole foods would have replaced it at no additional cost to me if they saw that happen. It was poor customer service and I will not be returning. read more

Yay for local businesses! It was Saturday morning. I was driving through Tempe, in desperate need of a banana, organic tea, and a juicy anjou pear. I stopped into this darling little market and felt happy. I found just what I wanted and more! I had been on the hunt for a good turnip all week (it was for this soup I was making in celebration of my ingredient of the week, which was cauliflower, in case you were wondering). Sprouts was out of them, Sunflower didn't have any - I thought I was out of luck. But lo and behold, Tempe Farmers Market had the best looking turnips I've ever seen! I was thrilled. They're from the local Crooked Sky Farms, which made them that much better. Tempe Farmers Market is definitely still growing, and figuring out what customers want. I ran out to my car to get cash instead of using my credit car, and Darl, the proud owner, caught up with me to ask me if I found everything I needed, and wanted to know if there were any foods or goods I would want them to carry. Love that! He was great to talk to, and seems genuinely interested in creating an awesome local market. They have lots of local foods, from Crave ice cream to artisan bread made in Tempe, to local cheeses and produce from nearby farms. And they're friendly to boot. Support them! Tell them what you want! Buy your fruits, veggies, and breads there, and you'll definitely go home a happy customer. Oh, and by the way, the soup came out delicious thanks to that turnip. I'll definitely be stopping in more often for my regular fruits and veggies. I am so glad the local movement is coming to Tempe. read more

Tempe Farmers Market is close to my work place and I can stop by for a quick vegan lunch, some local produce or a snack. It's a great little store and the fact that it's offers local products is awesome. You can get vegan ready to go food from the deli section and even pick up a vegan sweet treat of coffe drink. I am very happy to have discovered this spot. read more

What a neat little shop! I have passed by the Tempe Farmers Market several times and always wondered what was inside. Clearly it wasn't what one normally thinks of when thinking of a farmer's market (temporary space with a bunch of vendors....). I finally made it in and was surprised by the variety of items that were offered. The TFM has local fruits and veg as well as many awesome local food products for fairly reasonable prices. They have everything from yogurt to frozen tamales to fresh tortillas.... I ended up buying a half loaf of bread for 2$ (which is an awesome idea BTW... sometimes you don't need a whole loaf), a jar of tahini (priced cheaper than at the grocery), and some locally roasted coffee (cortez). Anyway, I would definitely stop in here again if I were in the neighborhood! read more

Ok, I admit that i thought this actually was a real farmer's market, but even though it isn't, it really is one. The reason why I felt that way is because I purchased goat cheese - the form of cheese that only looks correct at a farmer's market. They had some crazy goat cheese combos and I ended up with spinach and pumpkin seeds. Other good items spotted were Tamale factory tamales, a really good brownie from Fairytale bakery, parsley pita chips and fresh fruit. Both employees were really nice, one guy following me outside making sure my box was good enough for my groceries. When you check out, they ask box or plastic. I was feeling crazy, so I chose box. Open til 11pm and it does have a more gourmet feel than any other bodega's around town. Try finding goat cheese at a grocery store with bars on it. read more

I love this place, and their owner deserves a citizen of the year award in Tempe. The work and money and time he's plowed into getting this off the ground in a crappy economy is almost heroic. And he's such a nice guy! This place is three stars for what it currently is and five stars for its potential and current upward trajectory - it gets better each month. OK - it needs even more selections (not that the current selection is bad), it needs even more fresh produce (so tricky because it's all local and organic and spoils quickly if not bought - so I'm sympathetic to their plight), and needs a prepared foods section (they'd make a ton on this I think). And the checkout folks need to be a little less hipster fabulous and a little quicker to stop eating their snacks and/or talking on their cells and just ring you the hell up. Support this place my fellow Tempeans - it's a very cool little store and will only get much better if you support them with your dollars! read more

This is a perfect place to make a quick stop on your way home to grab some milk, eggs, produce or other basic needs. It is a little more pricy than a chain grocery store of course, but you are supporting local farms and businesses when shopping here which is worth the extra buck. Some fun things you can find here that is hard to find in other stores is kombucha, dr hummus and they even have a nice little coffee shop inside the store as well. read more

Best place to grab a few oranges and a coffee! Super nice baristas/employees, and the best bread.

Tempe Farmer's Market is rad. Their selection has grown immensely since today and when it had first opened. It's not a one-stop, get all your groceries for the week kind of place, but it works marvelously as a neighborhood market with a few necessities and a great variety of delicious fruits, vegetables, olives, pasta and frozen meat. Goddamn am I glad this place opened. Prior to this, my closest convenient neighborhood market was Rollin's Market with its rotting bell peppers and frozen Banquet dinners. There's always Fry's or Safeway, but I like hitting up a small little market on the corner of my neighborhood and build a rapport with the employees and owners as part of establishing a community. The dude who runs the place will sometimes thrown in a tomato or apple or lime in with your bag of groceries. Hey, free apple. Not everything they have is permanent. Sometimes something new will be there, and the next week it will be gone, but in a way, I like that about it. You go in there, and they have these Indian pickles made from wild cucumbers. Next week, in its place, will be garlic pickles or something else awesome. For what the place is, it's marvelous. It's a little place and about as un-ghetto as it gets. It's nice having a little market where you can pop in and buy polish sausage from a local farmer, organic soup, goat cheese with kalamata olives but you can also get your regular ass Skippy peanut butter and Campbell's soup. read more

I've been pouting around Tempe every since Gentle Strength closed. Boo hoo, no place I can walk to in the mornings to get fresh fruit or bread. I was so excited when the Farmer's Market opened.... Until I saw the prices.. WTF? Why is everything so expensive? What makes it even worse is that out of convenience and laziness I will come here and pay those steep prices quite often. I rationalize the process by telling myself that by walking I am saving money on gas and reducing my carbon foot print. They happen to carry my favorite tea (China Mist), icecream (Tofutti Cutie), and fresh bread loaves. Overall I have been disappointed in the produce, it looks as though it was delivered by animals who took little nibbles along the way. 4 stars for effort, 2 for execution = solid 3 stars read more

I'm a supporter of this store. At present, it leaves something to be desired, but we're starved for a place to shop on this side of town that has local and/or natural foods, so something is better than nothing! Also, I have faith that they will expand the available goods as time goes on. I'm excited to see how it develops. The good: Great bread! This is the best part of this place thus far. The breads are fresh daily, baked locally, CHEAP ($1.79 per loaf for white, wheat, rye, marble ryle, onion, etc...), and all natural. And most importantly, they taste really good. Picking up a loaf of the onion rye has already become a weekly ritual for me. They also have specialty pastries, tortillas, etc. Though I haven't tried those yet, they look good, and the prices are also very reasonable. The produce is also good. It's not a huge selection, but the prices are fair and the quality seems good. It's great to have locally grown items available nearby. Everyone who works there is super friendly, which is great, and they seem to be open long hours, which is really convenient. The down-side: As I said, very limited selection. The dry goods vary between local (mostly) and mass-produced (some random items). Some of the local artisan products look great, but they're very expensive. I think they'd be a little cheaper at an actual farmers' market (ie, where we're buying direct from the producer)--but I do plan to save up so I can try the pasta, etc. Weirdly, this place rounds out its selection of local/natural stuff with mass-produced crappy candy, ice cream bars, toilet paper, etc. I can't help but wish they'd found some greener alternatives. (Also-- Fiji Water? Come on, guys... That company is TERRIBLE. And the opposite of local. I don't get why they carry it.) SUMMARY: Overall, a great effort that I think will get better. In the meantime, get over there for your bread and veggies, stat. read more

Every time I go to this market, I find something that makes me like it a little more. Most of the people who work there are very friendly and knowledgeable. They are very in-tune with the things that are important to their customers. On saturday afternoons, they have local farmers set up out in the parking lot with live music and free massages. I haven't made it down there for this event yet, but am excited to check it out. GO GREEN. GO LOCAL. read more

This little market has true spirit! We've found ourselves near it 4 times in the past 3 weeks for various unrelated reasons just before returning home and decided to drop in for the 'bottle of milk / loaf of bread' errand. They're open until 11PM some nights. They have food trucks some nights. The staff are all wonderful. The variety is admirable for such a small store. I wish I lived close enough to shop there regularly. I have to manufacture excuses to be in that neighborhood more often just before heading home - like tonight for instance : ) See you there soon I hope! read more

I absolutely LOVE the Tempe Farmers Market. The people who work there are super friendly and helpful. I love having a farmers market that is walking distance from my house too. They offer a ton of vegan/vegetarian options which is a HUGE plus for me considering my boyfriend and I live a vegetarian lifestyle. If you like locally made breads grab them here! I am obsessed with Rye bread and whenever I grab a loaf there is always the softest/yummiest thing ever. My only complaint is that the produce looks pretty bad most of the time. We only grab produce there if we plan on cooking it with something the same day. Please check this place out and support them! read more
