I was overall very happy with Monterey Market and I found it to be everything I hoped Berkeley Bowl…read morewould be and was not. Tons of produce and most things were great. On a Saturday morning, I found parking without much trouble and checkout was reasonable too. They have a huge selection of Rancho Gordo beans, the local yogurt and milk brands (Clover, Strauss) I prefer, many varieties of produce, good quality bread, and some bulk goods. The variety of the produce beats most if not all stores I've been to in the area and the quality and freshness was great too. The only reason I give them 4 and not 5 stars is they do have some items on the more expensive side and that are less than ideal especially if you get them out of season. For example, I paid almost $9 for a few peaches and they were pretty bad. But as long as you pay attention to what you are buying and buy what looks and smells good, you should be good. As a bonus, they source from a few of my favorite Bay Area farms including the one my CSA is from. Huge mushrooom selection- they seem priced higher than some Asian stores and sometimes farmer's markets but the selection is very good. My one thing is they definitely seem to go for volume and breadth of selection so it seems like that means selling non peak produce that is out of season in some cases. Overall, I'm a fan and this will probably be a somewhat regular trip for me.

They also have specialty items like European cookies, a great selection of micro brewery, beers, and commonly use canned goods, etc.! I would highly recommend you support your local mom & pop business and give this place a visit! The people working there are very nice and "happy" and they have lots of parking available in their lot adjacent to the store. No more over priced Safeway for me!

I like their handwritten signs, but unfortunately there's no spellcheck when you're writing freehand. Support your local mom and pop business!

I've been meaning to explore this farmer's market. The first time we were driving by and decided to…read morestop. It has a good variety of vendors for produce, meat, cheese, mushrooms, breads, body products, jewelry and more. There are a variety food vendors where you can get your fill of dim sum, burgers, Laos sausages, and a wonderful coffee vendor. I think you want to get there earlier than noon. The first time we went, it was about 1pm. We strolled up and down the aisle. By 1:30 there seemed to be little produce and a couple of vendors were starting to pick up. The second time we went a bit earlier. It is about a 20 minute bike ride from the Point so it is convenient. We walked around and saw the same vendors so I feel confident they will be there regularly. Great location with views of the marina and bay from the parking lot. There is a no pet sign but it was posted only at one entrance - and not the one we went through. It was warm and I couldn't leave her in the car. Because she was self-contained in her personal buggy, I didn't think it would be an issue. Still, probably best to leave your furbabies at home. The only negative I have is one vendor blasting music from their booth. I enjoy listening to music but it's so loud that I can't have a conversation with the vendor without yelling, so I move on. Quickly. When you get to the water end of the market, you are blessed with sounds of the bay and birds. Now, that's nice. The second time we rode our bikes from home. It's about a 20 minute bike ride from the Point so it is convenient and it was a beautiful morning. As we rolled up, we were greeted by loud music. Again. Sigh. There are a few tables set up at one end with coloring books and games, entertainment for both grownups and kids alike. You can also grab a bite to eat or something to drink, sit down and enjoy the vibes. Pleasant way to enjoy a sunny day by the bay in Richmond.

What is so great about The Richmond Farmers Market in Marina Bay is the space that is being used. The vendors at this market are very kind. You say hi to them and they start a conversation with you. It is a friendly Farmers Market to come to. I love seeing the people that attend the Farmers Markets. I have not seen anybody trying to bring their pets to the market which is not allowed. I do love how people come here on a Sunday Morning checking out the vendors. When I attended this market I only saw one vendor that had fruits/vegetables. Every other vendor were take out food or clothes. I am not disappointed that the market didn't have much produce vendor but it is still a market nobody if you call it a Farmers Market. Keep up the great work serving Richmond.

Kensington Farmer's Market is a bit out of our normal roaming range, so we haven't been here in…read moreyears. This market is on the smaller side but offers a reasonable selection of produce as well as items such as Tamales, Seafood and more. I would offer a suggestion though. If dogs are truly prohibited, place a sign at the bottom of the street as well as the top of the street. We entered from the bottom with our "Princess" and walked all the way through. A couple of people looked at me but didn't say anything. When I got to the top, I saw a sandwich board sign stating, "No Dogs; No Smoking; No Smoking Dogs" and "Service Dogs are Welcome". Conversely, if no one really cares, get rid of the sign at the top of the hill. While my wife walked down the hill to look at the other stalls, I walked around the block and returned to the bottom of the market, just to check for a sign that I may have missed. No sign. I'm not going to lie and say that our dog is a "service dog" because she's not. At the same time, I don't like the idea that I was "breaking" a "rule" that I wasn't aware of.

I was there on the early side, so not all stands were fully set up but seems as if there is a few bakeries with fruit forward desserts and baguettes, lots of fruit, flowers, rotisserie chicken, tamales, empanadas and a fish vendor. Parking is seemingly mostly in the CVS parking lot and some street parking. Overall, Thursdays, if you need some local NorCal fruits and veggies and eats, this is a great little farmers' market.

What's not to love about this petite farmers' market every Thursday from 3-7pm? It's compact yet still packed with abundance & variety, especially when I visited at the tail end of summer/early fall produce season. I made a beeline directly to the famed Frog Hollow Farms stand that was overflowing with assorted stone fruit (their specialty) and berry tarts, hand pies, and galettes. But right next door you can buy the actual fruit or local honey from other vendors and head home to make your own pastry. Or maybe you want veggies? They've got stall after stall of the season's best. I picked up a ton of basil for pesto. Need to rest? There are shaded tables and chairs for kids to seniors to disabled folks to catch a break while listening to live music. Don't feel like cooking dinner? There's always a vendor, like Roadside Rotisserie, where you can pickup a juicy rotisserie chicken, or pork loin, with sides like red potatoes or broccoli roasted in chicken fat. And if the plethora of organic goodies and vendors galore aren't enough, just turn around and realize that you're surrounded by some of the best food destinations IN THE WORLD: Cheese Board Collective & Cheese Board Pizza, Saul's Deli, Andronico's Grocery, the ORIGINAL Peets Coffee & Tea, and of course Chez Panisse is just 8 doors down! And if you need to wipe the tears of foodie joy and happiness from your eyes, there's a CVS just behind the farmers market with tissues galore. Again, solid 5 stars every time!
