I previously rated this place slightly lower due to my first experience. The admin responded to my review and encouraged me to come back and try again. Since then, I have returned 3 times. My first review was on the hottest day of the summer. Many vendors didn't show up. Since returning, I've found everything I've been looking for.

Some are a bit pricey, but if one is willing to spend extra for fresh produce, this is the place. I don't know if all of the vendors have fresh organic produce, but most do. There is live music too, which amplifies the liveliness of the whole experience. There are good breakfast-brunch places situated right there like Dog's breakfast.
