I've been to a number of Farmers Markets throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. From the…read moremarket in Daley Center to markets on the near west side, Lombard, Brookfield, Skokie, and now Riverside. While parking can be questionable at some locations the regular and handicap parking here seems plentiful within the the square and the entire area has both a true small town feel and also a big local park feel with trees and flowers. For an afternoon Farmers Market there was a full supply of vendors during each of my visits. Many have mentioned the knife sharpening and after I had a pair of scissors sharpened I'm also a believer. With many vendors offering multiple types of veggies and plants there is a lot to look at. While I didn't buy raw honey (not super processed or pasteurized so most people say it has better health benefits and and fuller flavor) here at Riverside yet, I expect to need some at the start of the next season. There are multiple Amish vendors and I was lucky to spend a while talking to one of the Amish families about their farm and some of their core values. I've worked directly with a few different Amish families in Illinois and Indiana and have found each to be an unique experience. If you have time to talk to some of them or buy your veggies or baked goods from them you'll love the experience. Some people I've spoken to treat a Farmers Market like a bartering flea market but I find the quality to be high and prices reasonable and don't think that it's appropriate to ask a farmer or baker to lower their price when they have put some high labor in to their products. Hard work should be rewarded.

If you come to this Pete's I say come early because it stays packed especially around the Holidays…read more This is one of the smaller stores but they still pack a punch of items within each aisle. They just opened up another parking lot across the street because the amount of traffic that is in out the small lot they had attached to the store. They do have some great clearance deals on veggies but make sure you check them very well because it maybe better to pay full price if you aren't using that produce that same or next day. I bought some tomatoes for a party and was very happy with the price but the party was 3 days away and by then I was having a funeral for my poor little tomatoes and all their friends because they were molded and seeping juice. It was disgusting! I'm not blaming the store they had it on clearance for a reason. I know many people are a fan of the their meats but I'm not I don't like pork chops, chicken, turkey that is frozen and then I pay for the weight of the ice and my meat. I wish I could find a real meat market but I digress. I also like that sell peppers separately so that I can choose which one I want instead of it being prepackaged. Sometimes it maybe a language barrier with some of the employees, but I haven't found one employee from the parking lot to the cashier who has not been very nice each time I shop here. I will be back! Enjoy!!!

Booths are spaced out a bit, so the shopping experience is not crowded and close, definitely a plus in the summer heat and humidity!

This is a Mexican bakery inside of Mexican grocery. They have a lot of your favorites and it is…read morefresh and it smells clean in here. There are a lot of pastries with filling or without and even elephant, ears and puffy soft bread. They also have cookies and cake. ATM inside store. $5 minimum purchase for credit card or Apple Pay.

Pros: Friendly, courteous service…read more Freshly baked goods. Smaller selection prevents lingering and indecisiveness. Cons: None I can think of. This is a pretty nice bakery. So many other panaderias have such a large selection that you will begin to wonder which items have been sitting there too long. At Acapulco, everything tastes fresh, I haven't had a bad experience yet. And somehow, the baked goods seem fresher, softer, and stay that way longer than the items I get from other bakeries. I enjoy visiting here.

I used to love this place, we were very good customers since they opened not only buying Bakery for…read moreour house, but also my mother-in-law's home. They charge 4% on a debit card, which is cash. This is against the law and unfair to loyal customers who don't always have cash on them. When I brought this to their attention, the young woman there told me not to shop there anymore. Then I watched as they put the product back in the cabinets that I just put on my tray!! The audacity! A lot of the reason that I told them this is that someone is not going to be so nice as I am and they will take matters into their own hands and probably call the state on them. They could be shut down now or worse especially in this climate! I don't want to hurt a small business, especially since the owner does not speak English or pretended not to speak English but the rudeness was on a whole other level! They act like they are not aware of the law and they most definitely are! How can you rip off your loyal customers like that? That's how they do business?! Shameful! I haven't been back since. This Bakery and the other Bakery down the street does the same thing and they had the same energy. We all know how karma works but it definitely won't be me because I tried to warn them! Also, charging $2.79 for a slice of marble cake?! I asked if I could buy a whole loaf & they said they don't do that?!!! Ridiculous! Horrible owners & horrible customer service!
