When we walked in we were immediately greeted by a very nice woman. She let us browse the shop and then asked if we wanted to sample anything. I can't for the life of me enjoy plain oil, so I politely declined. We ended up getting the 6 sample pack and while we were at the check out counter we saw they sell fresh ricotta. So we bought that as well. I haven't had a chance to really try the oil yet, but let me tell you about that ricotta!! We made homemade pizza last night and decided to throw some ricotta on them. It was to die for!! We did get to try the regular balsamic, as our friend had it and put it on the pizza as a drizzle. I will definitely be back to buy more oils or ricotta. We've consumed almost all the ricotta in 24 hours, it's just that tasty!!

Our usual stops are Buchanan Hollow for prepared foods, Country Gourmet for salads, R. G. Rimmers for fresh meats, and Keplers Seafood for fresh fish.

The West Shore Farmer's Market is actually so cool!!!! Just went for the first time yesterday and…read morewas really impressed. It was larger than the Harrisburg downtown one and reminded me of Reading Terminal in Philly (less crowded but still lots of options). There's also tons of parking all surrounding the building. The upstairs section has small specialty shops; the lower level is full of food vendors -- from produce to fresh pasta to tacos to pizza to pierogies to quiches. They also even had plant stands and floral arrangements. I got 1.5lbs of fresh made spinach fettuccine from Fasta & Ravioli, two very tasty bagels from Bagel Lovers (foccacia flavored and everything egg bagels--both were SO delicious and a great texture; they also had tons of other varieties like pumpernickel, onion, and blueberry, all made fresh daily and for a very reasonable price -- I think I paid something around $3 for my two bagels). I could've spent tons more time there but unfortunately was just stopping by after running an errand in the area. Needless to say, I will be back!!

So far I've tried the breakfast sausage, ground sausage, delmonoco steak, and their mock chicken. What is mock chicken? Well it's pork and veal shaped into a chicken leg, put on a stick, and breaded. I didn't know what to expect when taking a bite of this but it was quite tasty! I'm anxious to try everything else I got but I'll definitely return to LD Weaver at the West shore farmers market for my meat eating needs

Like I said before, I recommend this place.

You'll get a nice hot bowl of flavorful soup loaded with veggies. Dong My's version of pho is made with chicken broth instead of the traditional beef. In fact, beef isn't even among the available meat options. Still pretty good, though. The mung bean pancake was good, but room temperature. The fried items on their menu like the egg rolls and pancakes are prepared in advance and will be served from the display case instead of fresh out of the fryer. Probably best to stick to the soup.

I'm a big fan of the Broad Street Market and think it's a must-stop whenever you're exploring…read moreMidtown Harrisburg. Whether you're grabbing lunch, searching for a sweet treat, or just enjoying a stroll through the neighborhood, there's always something worth checking out. A few highlights from my visits: A great mix of food vendors, specialty treats, and local businesses. A strong sense of community that makes every visit feel lively and welcoming. Plenty of options whether you're looking for a full meal, a quick snack, or something to take home. Most vendors accept tap-to-pay, but it's still a good idea to bring some cash just in case. A couple of personal recommendations: Grab a smoothie on a hot summer day for a refreshing pick-me-up. Try an ice cream flight if you're having trouble deciding on just one flavor. Other amenities: Plenty of parking nearby. Public restrooms available. Indoor seating areas for enjoying your food. A courtyard that's perfect for sitting outside when the weather is nice. What I enjoy most about the Broad Street Market is that every visit can be different. You can stop in for a quick bite, spend time browsing the vendors, or simply enjoy the atmosphere and people-watch while enjoying a meal. It's one of Harrisburg's true community gathering places and a spot I recommend to both locals and visitors alike.

I had no idea that they actually have a coffee shop in there with seating! I do plan to come back and sit and enjoy myself but note that the store opens at 10AM most days. The only thing I didn't like about the store was that it was difficult to smell some of the teas because they were on very high shelves and also the shelves are close together so it is hard to get your nose close. Still, this was not bothersome enough to affect my rating on this place.
