Locally grown obscure mushrooms? Check. I love this place and the fact it's less than 10 minutes from my house. I try to come here for all my veggie needs. It's a little more expensive, but you pay for quality. Food doesn't have to ripen on the way to Alaska, so you can actually taste the sweetness and fullness of every vegetable sold here. Open from 9AM-2PM. Get here early. Parking is limited.

Today 1.5 lbs of side stripe shrimp I'll make a Ceviche from. What Lingcod Yes - darn they ran out NOooo! Okay they had white king salmon my wife's favorite but I opted for Simpson Bay AK Oysters! I grill these in my special new cast iron oyster skillets! 2 dozen Oysters are a weekly staple during the summer when the markets in full swing. We then went and grabbed some super huge radishes from another vendor. Oh yeah a bread that's super high quality that Leila can eat Calugine from Zoi Food for life it's special for wheat sensitive people and vegans. Then to Beach Tribe Sodaworks for a 4-Pack of Jamaican Kombucha - Perfect with Gin - A Kombucha Gin & Tonic - Hello. All vendors take cash, some take credit cards so bring some of both. There's always something good there!

Got a lot of really great souvenirs during my visit to the festival earlier this summer!…read more Due to COVID there weren't a ton of vendors when I visited in August, but I ended up purchasing items from 4-5 of them. There were so many interesting wares and the sellers were all lovely people, so it was a really pleasant way to spend an hour or two on a Saturday morning. I bought a few carved wooden mushrooms made from fallen trees (I kept one for myself and gave two as gifts- the recipients loved them!) An older couple was selling them along with carved wooden bowls. The craftsmanship was excellent and all of the products were really unique and beautiful. I also had a nice chat with the sellers, who gave my newly married husband and I some useful advice on long term relationships! They also gave us one of the carved mushrooms for free, as a wedding gift, which was unexpected and so wonderfully kind. I just wish they were online so I could buy more!! Other great items we found / purchased: - Native made jewelry from a woman who handpicks all the pieces herself. Some really fantastic pieces at great prices! - Containers of tea from a woman who makes the mixes herself using chagga mushrooms she finds locally and items from her garden. - Christmas ornaments made from clay and carved by an Alaskan artisan (some have sled dogs, seals, etc) There were also vendors selling food, popcorn, fur, wood signs, and a few other things. I wish I got to see it during a normal season, but even during COVID I thought it was great! Would love to go back if I ever find myself in Anchorage again!

This market has thinned out a lot since my visit 13 years ago. Today when we went (a Sunday in…read moreJune), there was one total strip of retail and food vendors combined. The rest of the lot was amusement park rides. There was a booth to dress up and take photos with Alaskan huskies, ulu knives, handmade candles, fur, photography, jewelry, and my favorite: Christmas ornaments made of Alaskan clay. I had to get one and start my travel Christmas tree ornament collection. Paid parking across the street and they were actively ticketing!

It was nice to be able to get locally grown produce and especially nice to get things not available at a place like Costco, where I usually do my bush shopping. A lot of the produce was super-sized and this worked out because even though the items were often priced by weight, there was a max price per item for many of the veggies. Some of the most memorable items were several colors of giant cauliflower heads, a massive daikon radish, and big bunches of greens.

Although this is a small farmer's market, all you need are a few stalls with excellent stuff & you have a simple salad, a delightful dessert or a versatile vegetable fricassee. There's stalls with fine flowers, healthful honey, a parade of pickled items like garlic & other pickled delicacies, marvelous mushrooms, various vegetables & flavorful fruits. Most take credit card. I learned about pink as wells as lion's mane mushrooms. And I know that $2 for a bunch of orange beets with vitamin filled beet greens to boot is a showstopper. Don't even get me started on $3 giant leeks. I could eat just those with toast points. While it may not be for you, nobody gets more excited or fanatical about a festive farmer's market.

I came in with a client who happens to have special needs. I arrived first to get the lay of the land. Sutton, the man behind the smoothie bar, was warm and welcoming. When he learned that I was waiting on a client, he immediately asked me kindheartedly if he could accommodate my client in any way- reducing the volume on the music, lights, etc. Once my client arrived, Sutton worked some serious magic, engaging my client in conversation, teaching about how the smoothie machines worked, and generally being a decent human being towards my client who is often marginalized. Their conversation nearly made me tear up. This visit started off as a journey to learn about a new business in town and how to order a smoothie and turned into one of the best outings my client and I have done. Go for the great vibes, tasty smoothies, inviting atmosphere, great produce-- but most of all go support this wonderful business with a heart of gold.

I was a little disappointed the last time I came in as I wanted just half of the Asian squash and I asked if they could half it and they said no. I know they do it because I heard the owner offer to cut it for someone during their live stream earlier that day but they did not do it for me when I asked. The best pro of this place imo!They have a delicious bahn mi! I can't stop thinking about it! Anyways, I only really shop here if I am looking for something specific like blue crab but other than that I am glad they have fresh shipment of veggies and Asian fruits that come in.

In short: If you're looking for some delicious sandwiches or authentic Vietnamese Bánh Mì and…read moredrinks, this is the place to go! I bought a bánh mì thịt người (deli meats) and went home to share some with my husband, and we immediately went back to get 3 more I'm from Orange County, CA (known to have high concentration of Vietnamese population), and walking in the store is like coming back home. The owner is a very nice and friendly Vietnamese mom, came to the US ten years ago. We were chatting and watching her make the banh mi, and it just looked so satisfying to see her cutting the bread and see the steam rising. Perfectly toasted outside, fluffy inside, stuffed with meats and fillings. The bánh mì thit người was savory, with hints of sweetness, spice, and pickles veggies. You can request to not have those in the sandwhich, but all the flavors really meld together into a delicious experience. She sells tons of drinks there. We tried her Viet coffee, and her's is very rich and has a deep sweet flavor to it (be careful not to drink too late in the day if you're sensitive to caffeine). There's also a large variety of tropical fruit like longan, lychee, baby mango, mangosteen, etc. I highly recommend anyone who wants to eat Viet food, try interesting specialty drinks, or just wants to support small local businesses to check out her store.

It's one of very few places that I eat at alone since becoming a mom. It's like a little hideout where I can eat some good food, treats and relax. I also like that I can get some work done here because they have wifi and the kind of quiet music that makes me productive instead of eager to leave. The poke itself was great (I chose the ingredients myself) I've been getting no protein and I almost think I should get protein but I am not a big fish fan. The flavors are just so vivid and the textures make the whole thing come together. You know what? It's also fast. I would say faster than any fast food drive thru in town. So I'm going to keep coming back for my solo lunches and work sessions.

NOT JUST A POKE SPOT!…read more I think it would be easy to see this spot listed on Yelp and think of it as a good take out spot. And while it absolutely fits the bill for that it is so much more. Starting with the food: the bowls are delicious and fresh and easy on the stomach. Lots of options for base, protein, sauce and toppings makes it a good choice for anyone to curate exactly to their specifications. That being said if you're like me and want a little bit of everything that cost can add up quick. Overall tasted delicious and no complaints Drinks: they offer a large range of coffee and tea drinks as well as refrigerated options....anything you would find at a standard coffee shop you will find here plus some fun spins on things and shop specials! Space: now this is where I get to this business being so much more than simply a take out restaurant.... walking in you see a cute, clean space. Limited seating downstairs but you can go upstairs to a much larger seating area. I think this space would lend to being a great area to work on your computer, study, etc. Given the shops large range of coffee offerings I could see coming here and grabbing a drink and sitting in the cute space to be productive. Also a perfect place when meeting up with friends.

These trucks are located throughout Anchorage, and it can be tricky to find them. But for one day a week, they are all in the same place! (Chilkoot Charlie's parking lot, y'all) Every Thursday (not sure if they continue in the winter, we shall see), roughly 5-10 food carts/trucks hang out here and serve everything from gelato to Indian fry bread to breakfast sandwiches.
