I'd walked by this indoor food cart pod for years before someone told me about it, and after I…read morefinally ventured in to check the place out, I was completely sold! There's a decent variety of about a dozen different businesses here, from donuts, to ramen to Indian, Thai, and more, plus a bar at the center. There's also always a line for just about everything, particularly the booze, so come prepared and patient. Seating can be a bit of a musical chairs-esque scramble as well, but that only further attests to the quality and popularity of this place. Don't overlook it as I did...pop in and see for yourself!

I like the concept of this place. It's basically an indoor equivalent of a food cart pod, which is…read morevery Portland in itself. The location is not ideal in terms of access and some of the typical challenges you would expect in downtown Portland. Otherwise, it's a fun experience for an occasional visit and the food options are plentiful. There are about eight food concepts in total on the perimeter of the building with a main bar in the center. I went with a rice bowl from one spot and had a few of the mini donuts from the other location for dessert. I also saw a Thai food concept, a smoothie bar and a ramen spot. There are a lot of different seating options available, but none of them are particularly comfortable. When I went for dinner, the place was only about half full and the trash area was a little bit unkempt. Parking is available on the street or in adjacent lots but everything is paid during typical daytime hours from about 8 AM until about 7 PM. The bathrooms do require an access code but are available on site. Personally, I feel like this place had a bit more clout when it first opened before the pandemic. But, it still has some relevance and it's a great spot for a casual meal just because of the variety of options that are available. If you come with a group, everyone can try what they like. Overall, a good showcase of some under the radar food establishments that conglomerate in a fun shared space. Check it out!

Also ordered a pork tamale from a neighboring stand and gobbled that up just in time for our crab cakes to be ready, literally hot off the grill. Also good: I liked the "bog bites" cranberry stand fun folks and yeah we got some for us and some for gifts! and the several local spirits stands, thanks for the tastes and I hope someday to be able to see your product in California! The less good: I can see why this is called a Sunday Market and not a Farmer's Market. I have to say I was hoping to see and eat more fresh fruit, here at the peak of summer. I think only two stands in the market had fruit, which was sort of a bummer. But overall, a great reason to bend our travel through Astoria, on the way back to Portland from Cannon Beach!

While hubs stayed in the hotel room, my daughter, my mom and I had a blast. Especially those two who sampled a ton of bite-size snacks and things. What's happening indoors? Totally different story. The three of us weren't even sure where to start the feast- but we knew we were in luck. From the moistest Chocolate+Toffee cookies, to El Barro's Mexican tropical fruit empanadas to Imo Madoi's Japanese veggie snacks down to chili oil+cream cheese¯\_(ツ)_/¯at another indoor kiosk, everything was tasty. Survey says: Dig in! The indoor space is pretty big and so is the upstairs with several rooms full of Sake retail, candles also on sale and to ease your mind a bit, a back room hooked to the nines with a Hawaiian theme and lights off as Blue Hawaii played on screen. SnackFest is $0 to enter, but you do have to show ID and get braceleted (is that a word?) if you want to enjoy cocktails indoors. The Imo Madoi Japanese snacks were godsent for our 5+1/2 hour direct NYC flight. Even if you were buying which we did, this snack, as well as other tidbits we purchased were some of the tastiest- not to mention, cheapest. By the way- the vendors are all awesome and take the time to explain their product in detail. What a great festival this is.

Don't get me wrong, but masks are still encouraged.  But let's FORGET about that and 2020 all together.  I'm here to talk about what's goin' on in Slabtown! The Slabtown Outdoor Market has opened up!  And thus far, per their website, the market will be held on the Second Sunday of each month starting: ~ July 11th, August 8th, and Sept 12th. ~ Assuming the following months are TBD. Hours:  11am - 6pm As for walking around and checking out the vendors, I've seen everything from artwork, to beer, clothing, from healing to ice cream and soaps, and even fresh veggies and vegan creations.  I counted at least 30 different vendors and SAMPLES!  YES, some of them had samples.  Its good supporting locals and trying out their products.  Honestly, I wish there were more farmers. I mean, it is a market, but I guess it's not a "farmer's market".   I gotta add that I was most impressed with someone selling cast iron grills; I mean wow, who would've expect this tent. As well as the Nova Rose Knots lady and her macrame items, very creative.  We found new flavor drinks from the GT's Synergy Kombucha Co, and the girl helping us was awesome. I enjoyed Breakside Brewery and a couple of their refreshing brews.  Fifty Licks had some tasty ice cream, and the Cold Brew Coffee crew were fun to chat with.  Most of the vendors seemed pretty upbeat and ready to serve.  Its gotta be this lovely Portland weather as of recent.  Unfortunately I really hate to add this, but there was a lack of trash cans. I was gonna reduce a star, but I'm sure that'll be addressed. Or else the end result will be trash everywhere. Hope the organizers take note of this. Regardless, check out this little market while you can!

I also had a shrimp roll which was delicious. Live music was being performed by the Bar K Buckeroos and really set a fun, western-swing type vibe - they drew quite a crowd as well. Overall the market was jovial and everyone was friendly and having a great time. Some vendors take credit card, some cash only so plan ahead. Parking in Cannon Beach is limited as it is, and since this market is in one of the main public lots the parking situation is even more challenging - but the town is very walkable with several other public lots within walking distance.
