Be prepared to spend some money. You can't go here without buying something, whether its herbs, vegetables, fresh flowers, cheeses, or donuts. They have just about everything you'd want at a farmers outdoor market. One of the top attractions in West Palm Beach. The Green Market runs mostly during season, so you won't find it during the summer (unless something has changed). Worth the stop.
We were a group of 6, ranging in age from12 to 78, there was something for everyone. Potted plants and many food stalls: organic offerings, mini doughnuts, gorgeous pastries and more. It just so happened that an antique market was being held at the same time. Great time had by all.
Every Saturday morning event! Parking garage was easy, and market had our lunch...fresh crab cakes, lobster rolls and lemonade made on the spot. Such a variety of food including breads, pastries, designer cupcakes, limited produce, seafood, beautiful orchids and much more. There were standing tables to enjoy lunch too. Surprisingly, and antique market is also there were we bought hand made modern silver jewelry, polished rocks, soy candles and antiques.
There is an abundance of personalized prepared ethnic foods breads pastries Latino European and some African . From the cheeses to the croque. Monsieur to the arepas and cafes.something for everyone. Try the heirloom tomatoes on the north side or buy orchids and spices.
This is a "must do" at the Green Market. The energetic and friendly staff of students are more that happy to accommodate any combination. (My crepe had ham, cheese and raspberries. I know, it sounds weird but I love a sweet and savory combination.) This was delicious. Other options included spinach, chicken, other fresh fruit and... NUTELLA! (I was tempted to try that on mine too... lol) They make the crepes right in font of you and everything looks clean and fresh.Highly recommend this for a light brunch.
West Palm beach greenmarket is by the waterfront, beautiful scenery and friendly vendors, many to choose from..
My sister-in-law wanted to take us to this Green Market. We ended up having crepes for breakfast there. Wonderful crepes! Then our puppy tasted all the puppy treats for sale. Only one treat won him over. It was made with liver, had to buy a bag. Then we sampled strawberry pepper jam which we also purchased. Many vendors , lots to taste , much to see.
I'm a market fan and wherever I go if there's an open air food market I swing by. This is one of my favorites. In fact, I always arrive in West Palm on a Friday so that on my first morning here I head to the GreenMarket. This market has grown over the past 4-5 years and has settled into a location on the waterfront, which is excellent. The focus is food but there are other sections of the market with plants and also an antiques and flea market just a block away as well. I really go for the food and to stock up for a week in West Palm, and my husband never misses getting Lobster Bisque from the Chowderheads' stall. There's plenty to buy and take home and plenty to sample while you're there. Many local restaurants have booths as well as local growers and farmers. Tables in the middle of the market - with a water view of course - provide a great spot to rest, have a Cafe Con Leche from Havana's stall with something to eat. This year I had an arepa from Toctoc Arepas while my girlfried had a Spicy Beef emapanda from The Empanada Lady. We also drank fresh fruit juices from a nearby booth that had fresh coconuts and other fruits. My Mango Carrot Ginger was very refreshing as was my girlfriend's Passionfruit juice.This market contains a very wide range of food reflecting the many cuisines and cultures of West Palm Beach. Well attended but not crowded, if you are in West Palm Beach on a Saturday morning during the market's season - October through May - please don't miss this market. Open from 9am-1pm you will really have a wonderful time.
I show up most saturdays when this market is in season. There is quite a variety of booths at the market and it is very dog and kid friendly. There aren't that many produce booths and one might hope for, but there are a lot of foodie and specialty eats booths. I come for saturday morning breakfast, get my produce, and then get some other specialty foods to cook with throughout the week. Anyone that comes to visit me in west palm beach, I make sure to add this to our list of things to do. If you have kids, there is always some play equipment set up for them. And there are bottomless mimosas for adults.Yes there are bathrooms at the waterfront pavilion.Check the city calendar for special events. Usually, they have dog adoptions toward the waterfront area. It can get packed when there is a race or special event downtown. You have to get there early if you want a parking space.
We are lucky in this area of Florida to have numerous wonderful green markets onSaturdays. Delray Beach has a great one as well. But the West Palm Greenmarket is the biggest and the best. I was lucky to go for the first time before Christmas and easily found some unique gift items. Others go there regularly to stock up on the variety of fresh food items. Another plus is that is located at the end of popular Clematis st down near the Intracoastal. Plenty of other things to do once there.
