Featured Merchants

 
Restaurants
Stall 542
Coffee Corner
A Market gem, serving coffee, teas, fruit drinks and freshly baked muffins and rolls throughout the day. This shop is a local favorite and it has been part of the Market scene since 1946. Owner Lilian Sears started her career here as the counter staff – these days, she’s still pouring the friendliest cup of coffee in town.
 
Restaurants
Stall 322
Trejo's Tacos
Drawing inspiration from Mexico’s beach taquerias, Trejo's combines fresh produce and ingredients found right in the Market with customer favorites, offering tacos, burritos, salads, vegan and vegetarian specialties and aguas frescas.
 
Specialty Foods
Stall 230
Light My Fire
Light My Fire has hundreds (perhaps thousands) of hot sauces from around the world. Ranging from mild and amusing to spicy enough to curl eyebrows, the selection here is so rich and varied that a single selection seems impossible. A posted scale corresponds to the locations of the sauces, rated from 1 (just a little kick) to 10 (you’ll need a large glass of milk to soothe the burn).

Essence of Nature
For relaxing scents, aromatherapy oils, skin lotions, soaps and potpourri, this specialty shop is filled with a wonderful collection to soothe the soul. You'll find a full line of Burt's Bees products as well a large variety of fresh incense. Click here to learn about owner, Bob Diamond.

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.
