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.

Do yourself a favor and make sure you check the exp dates on EVERYTHING. This market routinely…read moresells old/expiring goods because there's too much sh*t in the store to keep up with inventory (see others' reviews). This is by far this market's biggest drawback. I purchased a pack of tofu along with some other items on March 11. I open the fridge a few days later on March 15, finally ready to prepare the tofu, just to see that the exp date on the pack was March 10. This picture was taken March 15 upon this discovery. 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.

Since then, we've come back multiple times and tried a variety of their seafood, including the Santa Barbara uni, snow crab legs, and lobster. Everything has been incredibly fresh each time. It is quality you can really taste. What I love most is how consistent they are. Whether you're picking up something simple or splurging a bit, the freshness and selection never disappoint. This has officially become our go-to seafood market for takeout, and I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for fresh seafood without the fuss.

They sell pickled vegetables in open buckets with no lid, in a refrigerated section that has black gunk stuck to its walls. It's just..... no. I hate that I don't have pictures to back up this review but the health safety practices in here are definitely questionable. Call me whatever you like, but it really irks me going somewhere and no one even bothers to try and speak English with you, nor refer you to someone who does if they can't. The service is generally poor, and the employees will act like you don't exist if you don't look like you speak Spanish (I'm sorry to say it but it's true). My [Black] husband does, and their attitude changed immediately as soon as they realize he's hispanic which is CRAZY to see in real time. They have 1000 security guards standing around that are constantly watching over every move... it's simply unfriendly and quite frankly, hostile. I just never like my experience here and it doesn't change each time I try to go back. I love a good international market. But my experience here was lowkey (and unexpectedly) dark and moody. I was ready to go not long after I walked in. I'd recommend City Farmers for produce and produce only. They truly have the best avocado prices in the area. I'll give them that.

They were overcooked as if they were cooked last week and they just kept re-cooking them and re-cooking them so that they could be able to sell them out. After a certain point, you just have to take a loss because that hurts the integrity of the quality. They also used to be really good. I'm not sure what happened to them. I got 7 pounds and probably put five in the trash after a while. I just gave up $60 down the drain.

We hadn't been in years, but it's still every bit the Atlanta staple if you know, you know. We came toward the tail end of lunch and the service was still phenomenal. My mom got the platter, I had the fried shrimp with spinach and a cup of clam chowder (I'm a clam chowder girl, and this one was solid lots of clams). We also shared a fried lobster tail "for dessert," which ended up being my mom's favorite. Everything tasted fresh like it actually came from the Atlantic, not sitting around. Portions were definitely on the heavier side for lunch, but we had plenty to take home, so no complaints there. Overall, just a solid, reliable Atlanta spot. Would definitely come back.

I came for happy hour around 5ish. I believe it ends at 6:30. I ordered the lobster roll for $24, a…read morerainbow roll that was $8 for four pieces, and a glass of sauvignon blanc for $8. Let's start with the good. The wine pour was heavy and I definitely appreciated that. For eight dollars that was solid. The rainbow roll for eight dollars was also fair for happy hour pricing. Now the lobster roll. It just was not worth $24 to me. The lobster meat was tough and not juicy. It wasn't seasoned properly at all. I actually had to add salt, which I hate doing because then it just sits on top instead of being cooked into the food. It was buttery, yes, but it mostly tasted like lobster and butter with no real flavor. The bread also fell apart which was annoying. I really wish they would have grilled or toasted it more so it could hold together better. Service was a little disappointing. When I first sat down my server was a girl named Joe. After a while it felt like there was a shift change because suddenly there were several staff members around and no one was really checking on me. I was sitting at the bar so I do not think there was a reason to overlook me. I noticed bartenders having conversations with other guests, but no one really bothered to see if I needed anything else. It felt like once I had my food, I was forgotten. Overall, decent happy hour pricing on drinks and sushi, but the lobster roll and the lack of consistent service would make me think twice about ordering that again.

The lines for checkout can be a little long, but they move fairly quickly. There is a giant parking lot outside with reserved handicap spaces, but the lot fills up quickly.
