"Nee"
Ludger Timmen
"If you enjoy browsing Polish markets… this is your PARADISE. If you want to buy clothes, leather goods, and other junk, you can find it here in abundance.
If you're looking for typical weekly market products like fruits, vegetables, baked goods, or dairy products, you can save yourself the trip. Where did the rumor—found in other reviews—come from that there's fruit there on Saturdays? It's a rumor! None of it is true."
