St Roch Market

I had to update because so much has changed at the St. Roch Market and I'm here for it! Let's start with a new owner that passionately seems to care about his vendors and employees. Kevin, owner of the magical Coast Roast (serving best cold brew in the city) saved St. Roch Market when it was quickly falling into critical condition about a year and a half ago. I live a block away from here and getting my coffee was a sobering experience because so many vendors had left the market. I was doubtful it would survive, which would be a shame given its original intentions. And while it was a polarizing subject in the neighborhood, it really did brighten up a blighted corner in the St. Claude corridor. Besides Coast Roast, I loved Lin's, where you can get a vegan poke bowl packed with amazing things.Fast forward a year and St. Roch's market slowly but surely grew with new vendors and the return of old favorites. Everyone seems happy there and the vibes the other night after Krewe Du Vieux were just so so good. It was bustling and a bunch of us sat at the bar in the back where drinks are yes, still reasonably priced in these crazy times. They even have a happy hour. And Lin's is still there and I like Dolma, the Mediterranean place and once some of the other vendors offer some vegan options, I'll be happy to check them out, too.It's a bright place to be during the day and in the evenings, the lights are dimmed and it's a whole other vibe. They even have comfy lounge seating on the front patio now.I value their presence in the neighborhood and can't wait to see what new things are being added as St. Roch Market evolves!

I have been wanting to check this out for a while now. We went on a Sunday so we could just walk around and check it out. I also wanted to get a mimosa which is only $5 Friday, Saturday and Sunday with any food purchase. I tried the frozen Zanzibar Boogie from the Bar which was strong which is to my liking. It wasn't sweet which I'm more into so I added a packet of sugar and it was perfect. Then I had a mimosa which was also strong and good!There's so much to choose from but we settled on trying an empanada from Aritza's Kitchen. It was truly amazing. So crispy and tasty. We're planning to go back for a Happy Hour and another Sunday. So much to still try! I saw that they had board games that you could play with friends. Y'all should check it out!

It was about 2pm on a sweltering summer day, and I was sooooo hungry. We parked a few blocks away and tried to get in at Morrow's which is across the street, but we were quoted a wait time of 2 and a half hours. My hunger doesn't tolerate wait times like that, so I asked Yelp for help. Lo and behold, St. Roch market was only 100 feet away! This is a small food hall compared to the ones I am accustomed to, but it is cute and clean and there's so much to choose from! Every vendor booth was occupied, and the choices included Mexican, Indian, seafood, sushi (vegan and regular sushi), a coffee bar, and a few other places. I thought I wanted a sandwich, but the first thing on the deli's menu was a sandwich for $20. It is a food hall, so I expected food-truck-price-vibes but a twenty-dollar sandwich with a side sold separately is not giving food hall. Instead, I had a delicious curry served with naan and a sweet dipping sauce for $11.99 from the Indian place. The vendor was really kind; she made it vegetarian for me and even asked what spice level I wanted. That food was fast and delicious! A place next to the Indian food vendor had HUGE perfect sugar cookies and double chocolate cookies so that was the perfect ending to the meal. I think the baker's name is Allison and she works with her husband. They are so great and so sweet! (the cookies and the couple lol)

How can you go wrong with multiple food establishments under one roof and a bar!?! You can't! It's a must go to and try for yourself! Everyone has always been nice and it's super bright and clean!

Weird. I'm pretty sure that I've reviewed St Roch Market before but it's not there now. The market has had it's ups and downs since opening in 2015. It's currently under new management. And it shows!Compared to my trip around MG, my visit last month was a whole new venue! Vendor booths were almost completely filled and there was a good variety of food and drinks offered. My Mom had a falafel wrap and I had a sushirito both were delicious. It was Mom's first trip and she really enjoyed wandering through. I'm glad to see the Market back on the upswing! And I can't wait to stop by again soon.

We visited the market again after many years of skipping it. There are new vendors to try. We enjoyed the spring rolls at Slow and Pho (they were huge!) and the drip coffee, vanilla latte, and salted caramel cookie from Coast Roast. There is a super friendly bartender at the bar at the end of the market (which also has an excellent happy hour). There was a new charcuterie business at the end of the hall too (which we didn't try). If you haven't been by the market in a while, give it another chance. It is still pricey and may be warm and crowded inside. Still worth a visit if you're in the area.

I went to pass time before a nearby event. I wanted a place I could grab some wine, sit in the cool air or patio if I wanted to enjoy the summer heat, and even order food if need be. I was luckily there during happy hour so wine was $7 a glass. The bartender was very chill and attentive to all guests seated.

I love running in to st. Roch for coffee in the morning at cost roast. Today I ran in and grabbed a biscuit from fried and true... dude it wasn't done! Ewww... it was pretty good until o got a mouthful of dough! I will have to say any other time I've gone I've gotten good service and food. It's pricey but you get to choose from different types of food in one place! So I say go give it a go it's worth it.

In a neighborhood full of murals is a food hall. With free onsite parking, St. Roch Market is one open space with a handful of vendors selling coffee, tacos, pho, and more. For lunch, my wife enjoyed the pho and I the laksa (a Malaysian soup). After eating, the staff bus your food for you.

Cute little market to grab some lunch. I got a sandwich at a little spot to the right as soon as you walk in.
