The most striking feature of this market area is its layout. You first drive under the sign which has had pictures posted by other reviewers. You then find yourself surrounded by small shops and eateries laid out in a large square the size of a city block. Occupying the center is more than abundant covered, free parking. This is very...

The City Market is essentially a huge farmer's market surrounded by a variety of ethnic stores and restaurants.In the summer, this place is packed with vendors selling everything from bread to spices to fresh produce. In the winter, you can still get all of these items, just less variety. There are some excellent restaurants to enjoy while you are there... More

Absolutely loved going to the market here. There was a guitarist on just about every corner we'd turn and they were all great guitarists too. There was a ton of fresh fruit & vegetables and also spices and restaurants that grilled right in front of you. My friends and I stopped by here on a Sunday morning before we headed... More

I was pleasently surprised by the KC farmers market....it is very large, modern (looks fairly new), is very well organized, and had a ton of free parking. There is a huge variety of merchants and it is located right next to the Steamboat Arabia Museum, which I highly recommend. Overall, one of the better farmers markets we have been to! More

In town for the weekend and went to City Market for the first time. Had a blast. Great place for locals to buy fruits and veggies. They even had a spice man selling spices by the scoop. The Italian grocery and deli was stocked with some good authentic Italian things, bummed that nobody Italian worked there though. Loved all the... More

You can get everything from typically fruits and vegetables at this city market or they also have like garage sales so you can pick up vintage items or old games. Different but nice to see. They have a nice little information center. Also have some drawings for you to stick your head through to be a vegetable or fruit. Flower... More

I moved to KC three years ago from a town one hour north. Even when I lived in St. Joe, I would drive down to the City Market once a month or so to stock up on some fresh fruits, veggies, spices, and herbs... there is SO much here, most of it straight from the farm. With a little bit... More

I love buying fresh fruits and vegetables from here on the weekends. Everyone is so friendly and sociable. You want to know something, either the farmer or the person next to you will have an answer. I always get a good price on what I buy. If you get hot there are places inside to sit down and eat or... More

This was an awesome little market. It was easy to get to and parking was not that bad but make sure you read all of the parking signs. My friends and I arrived in the early morning on a Saturday. It was a little chilly but the smell of the breads, spices and food made up for it. When started... More
