And for a local business, this is what you want and this is what you should expect, and this is what you get! So I have no problem taking the extra time and gas going there, especially when they have things that many other places do not. They have produce, plants and a little room with products from the larger Bay Area...along with some other seasonal fun items you can decorate with, etc... And even some gift items. This time, in addition to my pink pineapples....I also purchased the Farmhouse brand guava jelly (as a gift) and am excited to present it along with the pineapple and a bottle of rosé. Fun little gift idea and they had all the goods. The parking would be the only thing I don't like, each time I've gone, I'm not sure I'm in the way of someone else trying to get in and maneuver around because the paved area isn't so paved and lots of large holes and it's on a corner so part of the time I feel like I'm on part of a sidewalk, but I don't really know...it's not marked. But that's ok. I tend to go when it's not so busy and haven't had any issue yet. I really like this place mainly because of the people!

I hope we get to come back here again to try the foods next time since everything was still closed when we went!

I enjoyed dinner from three vendors - a slice from Fold, an empanada from Empanamama's and a beer from the bar. A wonderful variety. The space is 22,000 square feet so even when it's busy, there's enough room to wander about. You can see the Hillsborough River from here, making for a great spot to relax. There is valet parking and there is street parking. Be sure to feed the meter, which is all app-driven on Parkmobile. [Review 329 of 2025 - 1984 in Florida - 23891 overall]

The Cuban sandwich and flan I got there were amazing, and the people were friendly, something I've noticed with people in Tampa in general shout out to them. Overall it had a good vibe, an old fashioned sort of style of interior with stuff to do all around it, the World Cup was also going on so in the back of the building there was a watch party with a giant screen for the Argentina V Switzerland game, which just gave me the feeling of "hey, this place is awesome they even do screenings in their back yard!"

Parking was a disaster; between the outdoor church services in the nearby park, and all the exercisers, I was just driving down the street to leave when somebody pulled out and I got their spot. After walking around to the back of the building, there were four vendors set up. I thought - is this all there is? - and then finally I noticed people were using a different back entrance to gain access to the actual flea market. Directional signs would be a major plus next time! Inside there was an excellent selection of vendors, piled far and wide into narrow rows. I would have loved to have spent more time perusing, but it got so crowded so quickly, it was impossible. One trip through and I was done. If you don't like crowds, this is NOT the event for you. One final thought - please, for the love of all that is holy, leave your strollers and your pets at home. Carry your babies, or don't bring them, but there was certainly not enough room for the overwhelming number of carriages and the mass of humanity that filled this tiny space.

I also liked historic neighboring buildings that are starting to get repurposed as the area starts to blossom. Next door is a custom woodwork and furniture shop. They also do laser engraving and stencils. Woodshop classes. Hidden Springs Ale Works is next door on the other side. It is a newish brewery spot and tasting room in a warehouse space. The Heights YMCA, Carnegie library building, Waterworks Park and Ulele Restaurant, Cafe Hey, Oceanic Oriental Market, and Cafe Hey are also nearby. The indie vendors are the main attraction at the Indie Flea. Several crafters of leather goods, belts, purses, bags, a lovely smock and bag maker, Dark Cycle and other local t-shirt and clothing design companies, some cake and donut vendors, a few food trucks, candles, soaps, wreaths and succulents, cards, vintage items and such as well as good people watching. Disney Springs / Downtown Disney this ain't. These hipsters are fashionistas!!! I wore my best Americsn Apparel vintage tee. This is a great project by community minded peeps. Buy local. Love local.

And fight Mayor Buckhorn's TBX highway expansion that will decimate, destroy and divide these historic neighborhoods once again in favor of suburban commuters and Buckhorn's big business construction buddies.

It is open to the public and it does get super busy in the afternoon so I would try to get there early. The parking lot is a little tight to pull into, but not terrible. Inside you will find huge items in bulk and all your groceries store essentials. Also the have wholesale items and all kinds of international stuff to make different cuisines, plus containers, plating, etc.. They have a really nice meat section and fruits and vegetables section as well. I was able to get everything I need plus more for the week.

Anyone who has been to the grocery store....ever....will be amazed at the prices. I, also, am not sure if these are local farmers or not.

It is a family-owned nursery, especially designed for special events like weddings etc. As bride's parents we first encountered with this family-oriented business when we had to put up the Mandap/poruwa/wedding Altar. Since the day one until the wedding is over and taking the structure down, we had beautiful memories. Francesca and Shani are the ones we directly dealt with, and they are so accommodative for our requests and made us so welcome and comfortable. They helped us to make our decision in making our structure giving us very positive comments. They were very helpful with the time frame. On the day of the wedding as we arrived, the whole place decorated with flowers and it was elegantly beautiful! It was like I was in a fairy land, very magical. Francesca was extremely professional and decorated the place so beautifully to meet the wishes of the couple. Shani added beauty and flowless running of the show as a great coordinator. Shani is very professional, very kind and loving. She executed the program very elegantly and to the highest standard. We would recommend this venue to anyone without reservation! We left this place with our hearts filled with love and beautiful memories!
