Glendora Public Market — Restaurant in Glendora

I like this place. They allow dogs so keep that in mind if you don't like dogs. What I can't stand is that management allows the cleaning crews to use Fabuloso or some REALLY strong smelling cleaning sprays that it interferes with my eating. The guy would be spraying down tables getting the chemicals in the air while I'm eating at the table right next to it. Management needs to change it to some sort of unscented or less potent mix. I don't want all that ammonia in the air when I'm eating. That said, the prices are kind of high. And the foods are better than average. Parking is pretty limited on weekends. Reminds me of Anaheim packing district. Just simply not enough parking. In terms of foods, the Bagels are not a traditional bagel. It's really big, not dense, and not what I would consider a bagel. More like a chewy bread. The minimum standard of a REAL bagel is Einstein Bros. This doesn't mean the standard. I got a coffee at the coffee shop, and it's sort of the Intelligentsia type of coffee shop. Floral notes in their beans. If you're into that. Most people are accustomed to the over roasted Starbucks coffee beans, and that's what I prefer. Lumpia fries at the Filipino joint was BOMB. I'd get that Everytime. They got the thin McDonald's style fries. I would like to see a bigger fry, like the ones at the Hat, but still it's good. Probably the best thing I've had here. Then the Detroit pizza was underwhelming at the golden spot in the corner. The sauce has no flavor and the pepperoni cups were more like regular undercooked pepperoni with maybe 3 of them cupped. Oven was too hot for sure. Dough was slightly burned but the toppings weren't. Their burgers are amazing tho. Best burger in town for sure. Great sauce, great meat and veggies. The bun was really greasy, but other than that also the best thing here. Check...

Actually a pretty cool, decent food hall among the sea of other food halls we have in the SoCal area.

Based on a few reviews I did glance over before heading to the market I was hoping parking wouldn't be a mess & that getting an open table would be easy. In my case, all my hopes worked out.

I think just as many other things in life, your experience here will really be relative. Mainly relative on when you go. I went just after 4pm on a Saturday & although there were a healthy amount of cars in their private parking lot, I found a space right away & I saw several other spots open as well.

They are located right off of E Arrow Highway & it's very easy to find & enter. I like how right at the front entrance there's signs on the building listing out all the vendors.

I'm a fan of the layout of the place, it's all very "woody" & quite widespread & open. Where I sat in the back area there's pretty high ceilings which makes it seem bigger than it really is. Which is good since really the place is not huge. There's also a good amount of tables outside, but it was pretty much empty when I was there since it was like 100 degrees outside. I can imagine the tables filling up quite quickly during very busy weekend nights.

It's maybe the size of one level of the Anaheim Packing District, if you've ever been there.

From vendors I actually experienced & saw I'd say there's a diverse selection. You've got seafood, chicken sandwiches, bagels, ramen, tacos, beer, etc.

I'm very much open to returning back here & I'd probably get that chicken sandwich from Bolo as well as some beer from Smog City.

This place is worth a little drive if you're not so close by. & If you are local to Glendora you should definitely check make...

You might have to park on the street if it's really busy.

Bolo (spicy chicken sando): I think the chicken could have been better. I do want to try the ice cream sando--that sounds like it'd be really good. Bushi by Jinya (tokyo shoyu classic ramen): I like the texture of their noodles. I plan on going back to try their hand rolls. Dog Haus (cheeseburger slider, hot dog slider, love boat tots, love boat fries): You can't go wrong with sliders and fries. The Taco Man (al pastor nachos, carne asada nachos, al pastor tacodilla): Got one order of nachos with beans and one without. I prefer the one without the beans. I think beans really affects the flavor. I love cheese but the tacodilla was almost too much cheese for me. Crepes & Shakes LA (oreo milkshake): They ran out of other milkshake flavors so I only got to try the oreo. I do want to go back to try their crepes. Boba Break Tea House (thai tea and lychee dragon fruit green milk tea): Personally I wasn't a fan of the lychee dragon fruit green milk tea. I feel like their dragon fruit syrup isn't the best. Smog City Brewing (various selection of beer) Penny Coffee Roaster (iced lavender latte): I was surprised at how strong the lavender flavor was. At one point, I questioned whether or not it was mixed...
