This is one of my top spots to shop in Carytown. The store carries a wide variety of spices, teas, and scented salts and sugars. I love their unique spice blends - they seriously have one for everything! - and the helpful staff who can point you towards what you need. Another great part of this place is the tea. You can select any tea from their massive collection and have it brewed (hot or iced) to-go! So much better than a coffee shop's tea. I love all the gifts here as well, perfect for a housewarming gift. I stop here every time I'm around, and can't wait to go back for some new teas (though I do love the Victorian Chai) next time.

Tan is a real authentic Asian Market. Boxes stacked on the floor with everything you might need…read more Some of the Bougie commentators should stick to whole foods where you'll pay twice as much for ambience. I love this place.

He appeared to be in his 60s and commented that I had "breasts but no ass." It was completely unsolicited, inappropriate, and perverted. I had not talked to him so I guess he assumed I wasn't fluent in the language. What makes this especially concerning is that this was said by an employee while I was simply going about my business as a customer. I could easily be around the same age as his granddaughter, which makes the comment even more disturbing. No customer should have to be subjected to sexual comments or degrading remarks about their body. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses the behavior of the men working in the back. I have frequented this place since I was a child, which makes this experience especially disappointing and unsettling. One plus is they have good vegetable options. Another down side like most people say, a lot of their non-perishables are expired. The staffing is rude, if you say hi with a smile you are 97% of the time greeted with silence and ambiguity.

I've been here on several occasions and have found the vendors to be very friendly and the…read moreselection and quality of the produce to be great. Reyes Farm has amazing local vegetables at really reasonable prices. The peppers at Village Garden are far superior to anything you can get in the grocery store. One of the standouts for me is Alfredo's Honey. He has the coolest selection of jars and delicious honey varieties, all from his own bees of course. Also, the Vietnamese coffee at Limeades and More is to die for! It's so rich and creamy, and particularly lovely iced on a hot day. Overall it's a great little market. It's definitely on the smaller side, but it makes up for it in the variety and quality of its vendors. They switch up the vendors a bit week to week, so make sure to check the market weekly vendor map on their website if you're going for one vendor in particular. The only downside is that there's hardly any shade and you're walking on asphalt, so it gets really hot during the summer. Finding free parking is very easy. There are a couple empty lots right nearby plus parking on the street.

I visited that place once and was not impressed with any product over here. It looks like a little…read moreflea market beside stadium. Product quality is below average, but that small place cannot accommodate more or better-quality vendors. I did not like to taste some honey with a toothpick, and the veggies were like purchased from the local store. My experience was really bad, but I found RVA Big Market with some more quality management and vendors. Cary Town Farmers Market should not be operating at all. Here is a photo of it, just to prove what I'm talking about.
