Gembrook Market — Attraction in Melbourne

Cute, friendly, tiny little market with a home-made, crafty feel. Honey, plants, jewellery, candles, seed bank, home grown vegies, relish, cakes, free range eggs. Nice, friendly, informative stall-holders. Great for buying newborn or homemade gifts.

Nice enough/average coffee from mobile barrista - yet, to be fair - we are coffee snobs. A terrific soup, sausage sizzle, egg and bacon roll stand run by very nice people.

This market is fun for a short visit when in the beautiful quaint town of Gembrook.

Negative/Positive: Slow Grain Sourdough bread & pastry. Will leave longer review with slowgrain.com.au people. With the exception of the delicious loaf the sweet cruffin and scrolls were days' old stale, hard, couldn't even finish them. Binned. Disappointing.

Some stalls selling plants, bread, coffee, cakes, woodcraft, metal sculpture and lots of other handmade items when I was there. Reasonable prices but didn't spend more than half an hour or so there. There's a great little op shop up the road as well in case nothing at the market suits - they were open on Sunday as well. Would go back but not for...

Quaint very small market offering hand made and local products. Sellers are friendly with one seller experiencing "used car salesman" flashbacks from the in_your_face high pressure sales technique he was using. It was fun to watch people run the gauntlet near his stall. Had some home-cooked buns and scones with home made jam. Go to thus market as part of the region's experience. We drive approximately 5 minutes and went for an amazing 45min walk through a temperate rainforest. Then drove through some amazing back roads and experienced the amazing countryside (yes we got lost but gave us a chance to use the offline maps...
