TO BE CLEAR RIGHT OUT THE GATE: this review is not for the market specifically. Although I hope this bad review makes them question keeping this booth around
I had a HORRIBLE experience with "Marinko" from Marinko's Desserts. To explain the situation in full detail would take far too long. So to make a long story short he is dishonest, condescending, arrogant, unorganized, aggressive and manipulative. And I'm not a customer, I was someone he hired after an impromptu training shift at the market. Another candidate and I helped sell out every flavor besides one. Between her and I, I was far more experienced in this exact role. Only to be told a few days later that I wasn't "good enough".... Completely wasted my time. If you care about other people, especially customer service workers, do not give your business to this crook.

Read moreMarket is open rain or shine, except when it's too windy that tents are falling over (a market manager told me that). The variety and quality of produce and products definitely deserve 5-stars, but the price is significantly higher compared to the smaller local farmer's market as well.
My favorite vendors includes Manresa bakery (that Kouquin Amman!), Beckmen's Bakery (Cheese twist and roasted garlic bread only available on the weekends), mushroom vendor, avocado vendor, pasta and pasta sauce guy, and many more. Her is also a good place if you are looking for organic produce.
