    THREE liter sodas?!

    Lunch buddy adventure! We had lunch nearby and decided to browse this market before returning to work. They had a great international variety and it's much larger than it seems from the outside.

    A Walmart size minority/Asian supermarket. So much produce, fresh seafood, live seafood, and fresh meat. Also there is a Chinese restaurant by the entrance if you are hungry. That's a separate review. Seems like most of the food items are cheaper than Walmart, which is good. Quality seems to be ok too. I bought some shrimp and vegetables for cheap. They are good

    Seafood department.

    Yesterday was the very first time I actually walked through City Farmers Market. I never realized just how big it was. I wasn't intimidated by this store, though, because it doesn't have quite the varied inventory that other big competitors have. One reason why I haven't made this one of my preferred stores is because I've seen the big, free parking lot so packed many times, convincing me to shop somewhere else. So many shoppers come to this store! While walking through the store, I was mentally comparing the prices here with the prices of some of its direct competitors (H Mart, Buford Highway Farmer's Market), and it all depended on what I was looking at. Produce here looked fresh and the prices were good, but the variety wasn't as good as BHFM). The seafood department was sparsely stocked, and many of the fish and shrimp didn't look that fresh. Whatever was supposed to be live (blue crabs and crayfish) looked more dead than alive. The meats were fresh, and were generally higher priced. Bags of rice were priced competitively. Multiple employees at the cash registers got the customers in the lines quickly through the check out process.

    I'm not sure why this store hasn't closed down yet, full of mold. First time here and my last. We were in a pinch and needed to go to a Vietnamese store, search yelp and this place came up. Wished I had just stuck to h mart, cause with h mart you know what to expect when it comes to cleanliness.

    Whole goat, anyone?

    The signs are in English, Vietnamese, and Spanish which tells you what you need to know about City Farmers Market. The meat section is quite impressive. Any part of any animal, they've got it. Want the whole animal? They've got that too. Prices are quite low also. Some employees are more knowledgeable about items than others. Check out the chicharrones bar! I like how the market is clean and tidy. You're supposed to flash your receipt as you leave which is a little annoying though. City Farmers Market is good and especially convenient if you're on Buford Highway already and want to do a grocery run. Look for it behind Food Terminal. Parking isn't a problem.

    My family and I are from out of town, but we herd this place was known for fresh produce, meats, and other products. The prices are decently low and the amount of products offered were abundant. I recommend the fruits, snacks, and items you need for international meals. I really liked the fresh smell of fruits when we were in the produce section, you could tell it was fresh or at least fragrant. The staff was hard to find, to answer questions and the store seemed a bit disorganized, but other than that, it was a good place to find international foods we couldn't find at other stores! There's a huge parking lot and plenty of space to come shop!

    Duck head anyone?

    Loved all the fresh produce and seafood. I can't wait to return for fresh catfish steaks. I purchased fresh string beans. Whatever you're craving they have it!

    This is a market intertwining Vietnamese and Hispanic cultures. There was an extensive selection of Asian bowls and plates. Prices were ok. Snack selection was good. There was a huge seafood and meat dept towards the back. There is a bakery in the front, but it appeared to have only a few leftover buns at 5 pm.

    Duck balut. Hatching duck egg.

    City Farmers Market is an Asian/Hispanic-centric farmers market that opened October 10, 2015 on Buford Highway between Chamblee Tucker and Chamblee Dunwoody Rds. It's in the shopping plaza where Buford Highway Flea Market used to be. This is a huge upgrade. The Vietnamese owner of City Farmers Market, Ben Vo, cleaned up and renovated the shopping plaza. It's now known as Cho Saigon and houses the farmers market, Saigon Tofu (a Vietnamese "fast food" shop comparable to Viet Tofu and VN Tofu), a wireless store, and spaces for other tenants. Vo also owns Hong Kong Supermarket in Norcross. It's obvious the similarities between Vo's two supermarkets and shopping centers. They both have tofu shops and places to get banh mi (Vietnamese sandwiches). At the time of writing this review, a Big Wong BBQ is slated to open in a space next door to City Farmers Market. It may already be open when you read this. There's a Big Wong BBQ at the food court inside Hong Kong Supermarket and it's great. Longtime Atlantans may remember when Hong Kong Supermarket actually used to be on Buford Highway (near Clairmont Rd). It used to be *the* place I shopped for Asian groceries before the store moved, along with Happy Valley (seafood and dim sum restaurant), to Jimmy Carter Blvd in Norcross. Well now the market is back! Sort of. I think the market and shopping center look great. The market is big, bright, spacious, and clean. The aisles are neatly stocked with a colorful array of inventory. The parking lot is clean and nicely paved. Overall, it's nicer than Hong Kong Supermarket, but of course - it's newer. In a nutshell, this is how the major markets on/around Buford Highway compare: * City Farmers Market - great for Vietnamese food as well as Chinese and Hispanic food. * Super H Mart - national chain, great for Korean food. * Buford Highway Farmers Market - best all-around selection of ethnic foods, from Korean to Hispanic to Russian. * Mercado Fresco - as the name implies, Hispanic food. Note: Mercado Fresco sits where Hong Kong Supermarket used to be, in Plaza Fiesta. That market has changed owners/names at least two times between Mercado Fresco and Hong Kong Supermarket (e.g. Atlanta Farmers Market, Fiesta Farmers Market), so it hasn't been the most stable space over the last 15+ years. Produce quality varies. The produce section contains fruits such as rambutan, dragon fruit, durian, mangosteen, jackfruit, and longan. They have balut, which are partially developed chicken and duck embryos still in the egg. Duck is the traditional balut. It's sold for $0.99 an egg. Chicken balut is cheaper at $0.59 an egg. I always love walking through the meat and seafood departments of Asian markets to see all of the interesting cuts, animal parts/organs, and different seafood they carry. Here, they have everything you need to make an authentic bowl of pho or Bun Bo Hue (Vietnamese noodle soups) down to soup bones and pork blood. They have menudo (tripe or stomach, $2.49/lb), cow feet ($2.09/lb), beef honeycomb (another type of tripe, $2.99/lb), beef intestine ($2.79/lb), and beef liver ($1.39/lb). Examples of whole fish include silver pomfret ($8.99/lb), beltfish ($3.29/lb), largemouth bass ($4.19/lb), black pomfret ($3.99/lb), porgy (a.k.a. bream, $2.69/lb), and amberjack. Like other markets, the staff will clean, behead, and cut or fillet the fish to your liking. There's squid ($1.49/lb), jellyfish ($2.99/lb), and shrimp galore (many different varieties). Examples of molluscs include live oysters ($1.69/lb), manila clams, periwinkle snails ($4.99/lb), whole whelk ($3.99), and rice snails ($3.99/lb). There's a wide assortment of packaged food products from rice to noodles to sauces to frozen foods to beverages. The instant noodle selection spans two aisles and includes just about every instant noodle you can think of -- Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, etc. Drinks run the gamut and include products like mango Fanta, canned Vietnamese ca phe sua da (Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk), canned or bottled Thai tea, canned Mong Lee Shang pearl soybean drinks, Yeo's soymilk, and even Thai Vitamilk (soy drink). They also stock Korean ginseng drinks (in glass bottles with ginseng roots) and Chinese bird's nest drinks (perfect to accompany your next game of mahjong). At the front of the store, there's a Hispanic bakery and a Lee's Sandwiches (Vietnamese) shop. There's a self-serve display next to the bakery which contains a variety of fresh-baked breads and pastries. At the counter, you can order things like birthday cakes. Lee's Sandwiches sells banh mi and other Vietnamese snacks and beverages. They sell Vietnamese iced coffee out of prepackaged bottles. You can actually purchase gallons of the stuff (concentrate) for $26.99 a gallon. If you want made-to-order drinks, go next door to Saigon Tofu (same owner). They freshly squeeze/press their drinks which include orange and sugarcane juice.

    Having another Asian supermarket in the Chamblee neighborhood is always a welcome addition - Buford Hwy Farmers Market and Super H Mart probably wouldn't agree :) City Farmers Market is located in the former Flea Market space, near the Chamblee Tucker intersection. The new supermarket is Vietnamese-owned - when I went to the grand opening yesterday, most of the customers were either Southeast Asian or Hispanic. The store layout reminded me of Hong Kong Supermarket. Huge selection of produce and very clean and fresh looking - hope this continues beyond grand opening week. Prices were very competitive too. Great deals for the grand opening - my biggest score was Wild Caught Sushi-Grade Salmon Steaks for $3.99/lb! Other good deals - $1.99 for a 28oz bottle of Sriracha, $3.99 for 1lb of Duru Duru dumplings (my favorite dumpling brand), fresh herbs $1.39 (generous portion of thyme, mint, etc). I noticed a crowd of people buying bunches of Thai bananas ($.79/lb) - I bought one just to see what it tasted like (tasted denser ... as my friend said, I think I like the "fluffier" bananas better - lol! I love food shopping so it's nice to have another option. Secretly hoping they add a food court too :) I'll definitely be back for produce and seafood shopping. FYI next door is a new tofu shop that sells prepared Vietnamese foods like spring rolls, sticky rice, etc.

    Your average asian grocery store. It's not as clean or put together as hmart but you'll still find whatever you're looking for here. A big produce, meat, fish sections, which are great. Pretty big space with fresh baked goods in the front.

    A trip around the world and a walk down memory lane…read more It's been decades since I stepped foot inside the Buford Highway Farmers Market, and being back felt like a beautiful reunion. The last time I walked these aisles, I was with my mama, Donna Theresa. So much has changed since then, yet the soul of this place remains as vibrant as ever. It feels more expansive than I remember. A true global treasure tucked right here in the city. I'm still obsessed with how they organize the aisles by country. In just one afternoon, I traveled from Korea to Eastern Europe to Central America, no passport required! I was officially "team sample" the moment they offered! Unlike the heavy, sugary profile of traditional American cakes, these were a masterclass in balance. I tried the Neapolitan, a stunning phyllo-layered creation that was light, buttery, and perfectly textured. But the Lemon Cream Cake? It stole the entire show. It looked picture-perfect on the shelf, and the taste was even better. It was so bright, airy, and just the right amount of decadence. Coming back here wasn't just a grocery trip; it was a win for my palate and my heart. Now that I'm back in the area, you can bet this is becoming a regular stop on my rotation.

I meant to update this review a while ago. I just can't spend money here anymore knowing that I'm liable to accidentally purchase old products. As customers, we should not have to be this vigilant at a grocery store... it's ridiculous.

I went in thinking it would be a quick stop, but it turned into a full-on experience. After three hours, we still hadn't made it halfway through. My only real complaint is that I wish it stayed open longer into the day. Every vendor we met was friendly, engaging, and more than generous with samples. Prices were very reasonable, and everything--from the produce to the handmade goods--was beautifully presented. What stood out most was how clean the entire market was. Nearly every vendor went the extra mile to cover their food, protect it from insects, and wipe down surfaces as they went. It showed how much pride each of them takes in their craft. A few standout vendors deserve a special mention. 4 Sons Seafood offered incredibly fresh fish and shrimp, the kind of quality you'd expect to find near the coast. Pearson Farm had juicy Georgia peaches and crisp pecans that perfectly captured local flavor. Maple Milk Farm served up rich, creamy dairy products that tasted straight from the pasture. On the Rocks Gourmet Jams featured small-batch preserves in creative flavor combinations that were both sweet and savory. And Bobbie Ruth's Southern Style Bakery filled the air with the smell of fresh-baked bread, cookies, and pies that reminded me of a true Southern kitchen. Other vendors also added to the experience, including Pine Street Market, Cultured, Sprucewood Cashmere Farm, Diamond P Cattle Co., Taylor Made BBQ Sauce, Bee Wild Honey, Swayback Farms, Java Lords Coffee, Emily G's Jams, and The Cheese Shop at Main Street. Each one brought something special to the table--literally and figuratively. Another pleasant surprise was the number of local shops surrounding the market that were open during the event. We stopped in several and found unique gifts, clothing, and art pieces, which made the outing even more enjoyable. Between the market vendors and the local stores, the entire downtown felt alive and welcoming. We will absolutely be back again and are already looking forward to our next visit. The Alpharetta Farmers Market is a shining example of community done right--friendly people, clean surroundings, quality products, and genuine Southern hospitality at its best.
