These inside shops were curated by the likes of Alice Waters (chez panisse chef in Berkeley) and are nothing short of beautiful. Be warned there are inflated prices for most things. But you can still find a deal when looking for produce with the farmers.

The coffee, baked goods, fruit, and dessert selection is especially exceptional. The market itself is not dog friendly however, people still seem to bring their furry friends along. Honorable mentions: * Brown sugar latte from Painted Leopard (oatmilk) - incredibly creamy and sweet. Coffee taste was mild and well balanced. * Apricot kefir from Achadinha Cheese Company - Creamy, tangy, and pairs so well with fruit. * Thousand layer cake from NUSA - not a typically easy to find dessert. The layers are soft and delicious while not being too sweet. * Pain epi from Acme - the perfect vessel for cheeses and spreads. Light, crispy, and easy to pair with anything whether sweet or savory. This market is such a fun way to experience the local vendors in the area with your taste buds. Come early before 11/12 pm so its not too crowded.

I have a few favorite vendors that I like to visit. - Driftwood Bread co for their amazing sourdough - Sakura Soup Company has delicious and easy to use soup bases for noodle soup.

Parking in the area can be a bit tough and you might have to circle the blocks a few times or end up parking a little further away, but with so many great stands at the market and shops on Clement street it's worth it.

Every single time I've ordered from him he's totally rude to me when he's totally nice to other customers. Not sure what his problem is. I ordered Challah from there once. Wasn't good. Too dry. They don't call it Challah anyway, they use the German name with the word Challah in parentheses. Wouldn't matter if the bread and service were good. Hadn't been there in a couple years so I went today for a pretzel. I thought, Maybe the service has changed. Maybe the dude acting is nice now. Fat chance. I walk up to the booth and wait for him to finish with the previous customer. He's all friendly with them. As soon as he's done he looks right at me and says real stern, "What do you need?!" I tried to brush it off and smiled and said "I need that right there," pointing to a pretzel. Big smile, hope I could elicit some sort of common courtesy. Not happening. He says $2.50! Or whatever he price was. I give him the money. He curtly gives me my change and says "50¢." No smile, no thank you, have a nice day. No guten tag. Nothing. Nada. Nichts. Bread Nazi. It was a decent pretzel. I've had better though. It was definitely my last one from this guy. On the other hand the guy who sells dates is Awesome. Awesome dates, awesome variety, awesome service. Super friendly, down to earth. A real Bay Area type person. He'll let you sample new kinds of dates and give you tips on how to eat them etc. I recommend the one that are almost round and taste like butterscotch! They are so good!! And he takes plastic via the Square, so I bought a full pound. I've been buying them from him for an few years and they are delish! The rest of the markets pretty good. Awesome looking veggies. I used to be able to get some nice basil at a really good price. Haven't seen any lately but hopefully I will. Anyways good place to be on Thursdays in the FiDi.

But now that I'm trying to get a little more plant-based, I have a little more motivation these days, plus I have this neat canvas bag I got for free from the Halal Guys at 53rd and 6th in Manhattan. So now I can carry produce and compete with all those elderly Chinese women with their flimsy pink bags. Oh yes, that last Chinese eggplant is MINE, old lady! I actually come here for the produce I never see at Safeway or even Whole Foods like Romanesco zucchini. Y'know, the big gray-green ones with the prominent ribbing and nutty taste. No inappropriate jokes please. I also come here to get at least a couple of bunches of Chinese long beans and those silky-firm white peaches. I have to say I have no problem filling up my Halal Guys bag with fresh goodies because the vendors here always have quality produce (see my photo gallery). It's worth coming just for the free samples but expect to get an elbow in the face from the more aggressive cheapskates. Nothing is ever free, is it? The market fits snugly into the ground floor of the Crocker Galleria every Thursday from 11AM to 3PM (plus Tuesdays during the summer). Come early if you want your pick of the freshest produce, but get your stinking hands off my Romanesco zucchini. That's mine!
