What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise the Manhattan Beach Farmers Market for its fresh, seasonal produce and the vibrant community atmosphere. Many appreciate the diverse selection of artisan food vendors and local crafts. However, some reviews mention that the market is on the smaller side, and one reviewer noted a negative experience with a specific vendor regarding discrimination.
"Love coming here frequently! The fresh seasonal produce, herbs, and fruit are always a staple and the service from all the produce vendors is always kind. Small market, but diverse options for everyone. One thing I will strongly note, if you are against racism/discrimination, or a person of color, please avoid the Chaupin Kefir and Bakery booth, I have experienced poor service multiple times when visiting this business and I would not recommend any woman/person of color go there and leave feeling how I did. It’s a shame experiencing something ugly like racism at such a beautiful beach city farmers market local to me."

"It’s nice. Not really vey big. Nice to have a few food vendors (arepas and pupuso) and fruits and veggies and meat and seafood. They had a singer for live entertainment and a seating area to eat.
It’s basic but nice.
