First time visiting this market, and there are good and bad…read more Good: there is plenty of parking The hours of the market are later until 4 pm so coming from a far, I can still catch this market. The market is three days - Wednesday, Friday, & Sunday - 10-4 The market is beside Coquina Beach so you can see the beach and market all in one place. There is a few food/snack options like cookies, desserts, guacamole, conch salad to name a few off of my head. They also have a tea vendor and a coconut juice vendor. Everyone is very nice and eager to sell their goodies - lots of beach items, jewelry, candles, crafty items, beach toys, beach clothing and accessories to name a few! Bad: really weird location at the end of Coquina Beach - if you get to the bridge to Long Boat Key, you are too far Traffic is horrendous getting out because the LongBoat Key Bridge goes up anytime a boat passes, and that makes a lot of traffic all throughout the day. This market is not dog friendly, but we do see small dogs. We put our dog in his wagon so he was not on the pavement. The vendors do not seem as plentiful as they list. Perhaps the market vendors depend on the day since the market is 3 days. Glad that I did see this market since I visit so many all over. It's definitely something to see if you are in the area. Perhaps you will find something that makes a great souvenir from Anna Maria Island and that is definitely priceless! PS. This is not a farmers market. It's more of a crafty and artisan market with a beach theme!

I want to like this place but now after multiple visits I have been disappointed by the quality and…read morestaff and won't be coming back. The outside is so nice and inside is decorated well (super dark though - poor lighting especially in the coffee shop). I first went a year ago and the coffee was poorly made (the beans they used then were from one of my favorite local roasters...the espresso shots were pulled incorrectly). Same thing this visit, everything was bitter and tasted burnt (we got multiple drinks for my family both visits). I asked about the beans and their onsite roaster to learn if they roasted everything or if they also used a local roaster and the barista was clueless and said "well they are beans and that's a roaster thing I guess?" The first visit the staff were just rude both the coffee shop and the overpriced store. This time no one was managing the store front and the baristas were so confused, could not keep orders straight and a line grew for people at the coffee shop that just wanted to buy something from the store. My son had ordered a croissant ($7) they called my name, my son went to grab it for me and the guy told him that is not his. I was there with him, told him my name and he said, no it is for someone else. So it sat there getting cold for almost 10mins while we waited for our coffee (meanwhile they were giving other people the wrong items). When my coffee order was ready I asked again and mentioned no one had taken the croissant and if I could now take it, he looked at me and almost said no but the other barista was like yea that is his. The outside gives this place the second star. Sadly the change in ownership has not improved the organization or level of quality. This past visit was on a Wednesday and not a peak time. I may have also just come on two really bad days looking at the other reviews. The prices warrant a better more consistent experience in my opinion.
