Love it! Tried different food, bought California giflts etc. Don't forget to take your parking ticket with you, and get it validated by any vendor at the market, otherwise you'll pay like $5 every 15 mins of parking! Will be back!

Awesome farmers market with a complete selection of ready foods or fresh produce. Lots of seating available but may fill up rather quickly. Facilities are cleaned and staff are available to clean up tables after dining. Parking is also cheaper with validation than the Grove. Would return with friends to dine and shop.

The Original Farmers Market in LA is one of those rare places that blends history, culture, and great food into a single, lively destination. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, the atmosphere hits you right away bustling walkways, the aroma of fresh food from every direction, and a mix of vendors that truly reflects the city’s diversity. What makes this market special is the variety. You can grab anything from gourmet pastries and classic diner-style breakfasts to international dishes like Brazilian meats, Middle Eastern specialties, or authentic French crepes. Everything feels authentic, not overly commercialized, and there’s always something new to try. It’s also a great spot for quick bites: the seating is casual, the service is friendly, and you can wander from stall to stall at your own pace. The market’s vintage charm is part of its appeal. The signage, the open-air layout, and the long-standing family-owned stalls give it a timeless energy. Paired with the adjacent Grove, it’s a perfect place to stroll, eat, and people-watch. Parking can get crowded during peak hours, but it’s worth the minor hassle for the experience you get. Overall, The Original Farmers Market remains a must-visit LA landmark historic, vibrant, and consistently delicious.

You definitely have to come and visit the Original Farmers Market when in LA Downtown area. Not just the famous casual type of market food, architecture wise, the Original Farmers Market did a good job by blending in all the different cuisines into the 19th century style old houses. Like the way they didn't change the route and the overall structure of it, even though quite easy to get lost among different sections, but that's the fun when you walking through all the passages and try to locate the restaurants you had mind.

Nice location and lots of food option! Clean walkways and felt safe. Went on a Sunday night and parking was full but luckily was able to find one. Just make sure to get your parking ticket validated to save. Came with 8month old daughter so we were hoping to find a family room but didn’t see one.
