Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts
An L.A. institution: fresh, made-right-here doughnuts every day and a select variety of premium coffees and teas. Kids love the specialty doughnuts (dinosaurs and kitties) and everybody raves about Bob’s cinnamon roll. (Critic Favorite)

Besties - Now Open!

The first and only vegan marketplace in the country to sell products exclusively from 100% vegan brands. They first launched in East Hollywood and now are excited to expand with a second outlet here at the Market, located next to Singapore’s Banana Leaf. They offer a wide selection of fridge, freezer and pantry staples, as well as a snack counter selling their legendary vegan hot dogs and soft serve ice cream, as well as a variety of other sandwiches and sides.  Other all-vegan specialties range from chocolate and cheese made in-house, to fine imported caviar and lobster.

Kaylin + Kaylin Pickles

Frustrated by the shortage of good tasting pickles on the West Coast, owner Scott Kaylin set out to create his own perfect pickles. These New York style pickles are gluten free and vegan and come in unique flavors such as Jalapeño, Kosher Dill, Half Sour, Horseradish, Mustard, Spicy Dill and Honey Mustard. Happiness in Every Crunch.

Bennett's Ice Cream
Bennett’s Ice Cream is one of the last of a vanishing tradition: Scott Bennett and his staff make their own ice cream from fresh ingredients mixed on the spot (you can watch the process through Bennett’s kitchen window). The result is so fine that Bennett's regularly wins awards (there are Blue Ribbons all over the shop). The flavors are also wonderfully inventive – try Scott’s cabernet sauvignon sorbet or his pumpkin ice cream. Click here to learn about Scott Bennett, owner of Bennett's Ice Cream.

Los Angeles's Original Farmers Market

By David Hamlin and Brett Arena Since 1934, the Original Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax in Los Angeles has been at the center of the citys history, from the Great Depression to todays Great Recession. It has endured as one of LAs most treasured locations, drawing visitors not only from the city it helped mold but also millions of tourists from around the world. Authors David Hamlin and Brett Arena capture the Markets quirky beginnings, its enduring personality, popularity and eccentricities in a new book from Arcadia Publishings Image of America series. With the help of hundreds of rare archival photos made available from the Farmers Market owner, the A. F. Gilmore Company, the authors trace the evolution of the property through a rich history that reads more like fiction than real history. 128 pages, paperback.
