The Original Farmers Market
About
The Original Farmers Market, at 3rd and Fairfax, started in 1934 when farmers set up stalls on an empty lot. Today it's a covered food market with more than a hundred stalls (donuts, Mexican food, crêpes, oysters, ice cream, old-school diners) around its landmark clock tower. It connects to The Grove, so you can eat and shop in one go.
Jasmine says
An old market open since 1934: under the clock tower, eat your way around the world. The Grove is right next door.
Insider tips
- The old stall Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts tastes of 1947.
- Regulars' first pick is the burrito at Loteria Grill.
- After eating, wander into The Grove and ride the trolley to digest.
Jasmine’s notes
- FairfaxA century-old market where you can try a bit of everything, with The Grove right next door, so pair them. The old market next to The Grove: grab a matcha at La La Land, take the green trolley or walk over, and browse slowly for lunch. Open daily (Mon–Fri 9am–9pm, Sat 10am–9pm, Sun 10am–7pm). Open since 1934, one of LA's oldest markets, right next to The Grove; after a book signing or shopping, come here and take your time eating.Order: Eat your way stall by stall; find the clock tower that says An Idea; The Grove is right next door
