Downtown San Leandro Farmers' Market

Love having the section of fresh produce and the section of cooked food! Teriyaki, dumplings, tamales, donuts, pastries! So much to choose from. We enjoyed live music too! Parking as expected can be tough.

Every Wednesday during the summer, there is a Farmer's Market on Parrott Street right next to Pelton Plaza!!Usually, there's live music, lots of booths offering a variety of fruits and vegetables, and other food options.It's small, has a local feel, actually makes you forget it's Wednesday, makes a Wednesday feel like a Friday!!It's a great way to break up the week, at least for a few hours anyway. Always enjoy coming here.

This is a seasonal farmers' market. They open from April/May to October.Still, this place full of different stalls and lots of people come by. The parking might be a little difficult sometimes. They sell bakeries, homemade sauces, homemade pasta, smoked salmon, fruits and etc.

I'm so very happy to have this as a part of my community. My favorite is the flowers that are able to be purchased. I found out the the information table has face masks if needed. Seems that now the pandemic has hit there are less vendors as well as buyers.

This is my favorite place to be on Wed, live band, diverse food options and drink options, great crowd and a organic fruit and vegetable options from the central coast.

I love how I can get vegetables here that I need for Filipino and Asian cooking! They look much fresher than the ones at the local Asian grocery store or Safeway. You can also find eggs, honey, nuts, pastry, and prepared food vendors here that sell hummus and Indian chutneys. On certain Wednesdays you can buy glasses of wine and margaritas and enjoy that with your food and live music! I love the lumpias that you can get from the Englander food booth. They're piping hot and very tasty. It's $8 but they give you about 8 longish pieces. Yummy! Other food booths sell Crepes, Indian food, Mexican food, and Sausages. There's also a Roli Roti food cart that always has a long line of customers.

I live fairly close to the farmers market, so I am able to walk without having to worry about any parking. I arrived around 5 or so just to see what items were being sold. There were corn, strawberries, peaches, baked goods and I think I even saw barbeque? I was somewhat hungry so I walked around England we pub where most of the food venders were located. They had cacao milk bar, englanders, some corn in a cup/stick, papusa and tamale vendor and roli roti. I was more intrigued by the cupcake and the fried chicken so I decided to spend my money there.Cacao milk bar - you are able to choose what flavor cupcake you want and decide if you want to add fried chicken to your order. I decided on the Belgium waffle flavor and the maple bacon (because they didn't have any sweet potatoe). I also got some fried chicken for each order (comes with 4 pieces of fried chicken on a stick). I also decided to try their maple sauce ( not bad ). If you are to get some food here I recommmend you share the chicken and get your own cupcake. The Belgium waffle cupcake was sweet and tasted just like a vanilla cupcake the maple bacon had the bacon taste with a hint of maple, definitely a sweet/savory cupcake. The fried chicken wasn't bad, tad dry. The cost was 13 dollars each (1 cupcake and 4 pieces of fried chicken and sauce). I will be back to try the sweet potatoe cupcake.

My family and I have made it a weekly thing to come together for dinner. We grab food from the FRIED CHICKEN and CUPCAKE stand and sit and listen to the LIVE MUSIC. We have a 3 year old and he asks every Wednesday to make make sure we go. There are tons of kids and occasional shows from the children's dance studio near by. We'll keep going till October when it ends!

I have the unfortunate luck of usually having to work Wednesday evenings during the summer, the only damn day of the week the farmer's market occurs, just a block or two down the street.Today I took a stand against my corporate job that pays the bills and that I also shop at and decided to take a stroll down to the festivities. During my short ten minute break. Why I haven't ever gone to the farmer's market, despite having lived here my entire life, I don't know. Better late than never?There are a ton of stalls set up along Parrot St., and there's so much liveliness around you that it's tough to choose where you want to start. I found this great stall that was selling tropical snickerdoodle cookies - the traditional snickerdoodle with pineapple (which I hate but I didn't mind in this application) and papaya mixed in. I got to try a sample and was blown away, it was so fresh, fruity, and good.Another stall I visited was selling incredibly fresh, creamy, delicious cheese, some made from cow's milk and others from goat's milk. What was funny was that the woman behind the table offered me cheese the moment she saw me pause by her stall, then kept giving me samples of all their cheeses, but when she asked, expectantly, which one I was buying, gave me a snotty ass look when I told her I wasn't sure and would be back after I looked around the market. Nice attitude lady, I was considering buying one of your tiny blocks of overpriced, albeit delicious cheese - consider a sale gone. Until next week, when I may have decided to give you another chance and want more free samples. Then I'll probably give in.I picked up a little over a pound of a mixed variety of cherries from another stall for 6 bucks, and they were very good and sweet. Since I had ten minutes to make a power run through the market I didn't get to experience a fraction of what is available, but plan on returning next week to write a more robust review. Definitely a great first impression from the market, and made me eager to come back and check out the many, many more things the farmer's market has to offer here.

My family and I visited this farmers market for the first time recently. We really enjoyed ourselves and have been back a few more times. My 7 y/o was entertained by the balloon man, huge slide and jumper. He also enjoyed sampling the juicy strawberries and flavored nuts. My husband and I enjoyed a really good Louisiana hot link, that was actually hot and had a great snap to every bite and was really quite juicy. We also had a teriyaki chicken skewer that was pretty tasty and juicy too. Both were from the Meyer BBQ stand located in the parking lot next to the Englander. If you like hot links, you must try one from Meyer. Peter's Kettle Corn is right next door to Meyer's. Grab a bag of warm kettle corn to munch on while strolling the market or to bring home. My husband has tried the taco plate from Martha's Mexican food, which is on the other side of Peter's, and he wasn't impressed. So far, this spot has been the only disappointment. This is actually a nice sized farmers market with a variety of vendors. The usual fruit and veggie stands with organic and non organic produce. Fresh eggs and local honey are also available. Visiting this Farmers Market has become our new Wednesday night ritual. We get the kids out of the house and have a nice family night. Best part, I don't have to cook for the evening :) Unfortunately, this evening market only runs from April 18 - October 17th for this year.
