Bellevue Farmers Market

Great local farmers market. Lots of variety with rotating vendors. You never know what you will discover, but it is a fun spot on a summer Thursday afternoon and I’m sure you’ll find something you would like.

Easy parking, really nice veggies, pizza was crust GREAT, toppings were fine. My Seattle Pops was delicious!!

Love the variety of pop ups here. It is pricey but some of them are worth it. The pop ups may not be the same every week. I especially loved the pop ups with french crepe, pizza and toffees.

Bellevue farmer market is very good market . Parking a lot.fresh fruits,vegetables ,bakery, and many more things are available in summertime.

Nice place to walk around, purchase unique items, produce and meet friends.

An undiscovered treasure trove. A wealth of different vendors means there is "something for everyone" Fruit, veg and flowers of course, but also French pastries, cheese, ice creams, cookies and so much more. Also a collection of food trucks for the hungry.

One of the well organized farmers market! They open sharply at 3pm, not a minute before or after. At one time, there was a countdown for the last 10 seconds. Ample parking, the food options are usually Pizza, Burgers and ice cream. We usually go in for the French bakery from Seattle, fruits and vegetables. I wish they had kettle corn popcorn!

Fun market to get my shopping list taken care of easily. The market staff do an excellent job maintaining social distancing in a respectful way. They have chalk on the ground directing traffic and numbers to signify wait line spaces.

The food is delicious. The service is great. The ambiance is an outdoor Farmer Market.

Wanted to check out this farmer's market so I did and it was a bit disappointing. I only saw 3 produce stalls but not too many Asian vegetables at all. It was blazing hot and there were long lines for Mike's Shaved Ice and a berry stand. Pretty easy church parking. It was a few blocks away from Bellevue Square

We shop at the market throughout the season. It's expensive, and you really have to use what you buy fast because the freshness is ephemeral and that's what you paid extra for. The produce is a cut above any local store. I'm a fan.

Haven't been here for two years and worth the visit! I work a lot and don't have much time so I only grow herbs and blueberries. When the peaches, strawberries and cherries season is here so am I at the farmers market. Good place for fresh veggies and flowers too. I had a bomb cup of Bluebird ice cream. Theos chocolate chunk and sidhu farms strawberry was delish! Bring some bags to stash your finds. Food trucks also on site. Where else are you going to see locals stashing their finds into high end Gucci, Prada and Chanel bags?

This is my first time coming to the Bellevue farmers market. It's in a small church lot that had a lot of different vendors. A lot of the vendors and booths sold veggies, fruits, food, drinks, and more. The Box on wheels (Asian fusion cuisine) had some really good fries. I enjoyed their sauce the most. It was sweet and addicting. There was also a food truck that sold wood oven pizza! Which is a 5/5! It is $15 for a whole pizza that is cut into 6/7 slices so you can definitely share with another person or two. Would recommend this to anyone that wants to do something different on a Thursday.

Bellevue farmers market in a church lot on Bellevue Way. Was a non- chaotic fun filled after daycare activity for my 3 year old and I. ( trying to find things after work and when i pick him up to tire him out more) and this one did that. Parking not a problem at all. No dogs allowed. There were 2 food trucks-The Box( Asian-Fusion cuisine) and Veraci Pizza when we were there last Thrs. around 5 pm. Patio plastic table and chairs to sit and eat. Its small - but was something to do with a toddler. Safe. Not overly crowded. Dinner served. Plus fun music- a cello, violin , and guitar? Multiple kids who probably thought it was casper baby pants were dancing around with popsicles in hand. Flower selection : Meh. maybe it was because we came later in afternoon but my son wanted to get some for me. $10. Like a pike place mix. They are part blooming part falling apart currently. We tasted a little mini strawberry pie from adrienne's cakes and pies($5)a giant cookie sandwich , slice of pizza ($6)and a seattle pops lime popsicle. And were there about an hour in total.

Wow! This is definitely the fanciest farmers market I've ever been to! The picnic tables were covered in table cloths and flowers and live music played in the summer. They had a lot of Seattle shops like Sub Pop which had amazing ice cream. It's a really nice atmosphere.

Worth a trip if you live nearby. Small, but nice selection of fruits, veg, prepared foods. Strawberries were amazing. They had a few food trucks. We like the box (asian fusion) and the falafels at the Mediterranean food truck. Bluebird ice cream is also delicious.

I visited the BFM for the first time in June. The setting is absolutely lovely, considering it is in a parking lot. They set up the booths in a flattering way, and the entire area is surrounded by bushy trees. There are also plenty of places to park and they do a really good job routing traffic away from the market and providing pedestrian safety and shopping enjoyment. That pretty much covers the 3 stars, above. The market is baffling to me... it is just so. expensive. omg. no. For one thing, there is a vendor who sells rotisserie chickens.... for $20? The skin was flabby and pale. No. They also made a sandwich with the meat and it looked great, but $14? No. Yes, there were other vendors, adorable vendors with popsickles and baked goods and a little set up with picnic tables and table cloths, but that all of it is just out of my price range. And then the fruit... seriously. The fruit was at least a few dollars more than at the Crossroads Farmer's Market and nearly sold out... at 15 minutes past opening! And the one lady selling radishes, $3 for a bunch and they were sad looking, pockmarked and only one color. (For $3.50 you get twice as many, and they are a rainbow of colors and not crappy at the Redmond market!) There was a tomato vendor the day I was there... which was by far and away the most popular place. There was a line forming halfway down the aisle of people clamoring for their tomatoes. They looked nice but I was suspicious since it was still June and we hadn't had that much heat. Then again, what do I know, people were lined up! I hate to think how much they cost. Finally, as I was exiting and wondering just how many rich people live in Bellevue and if they know that they are being gouged or if they even care, I overheard a woman at the entrance explaining that they only have food vendors at the BFM and they are proud of that. It is a nice sentiment, but then I realized no one told her that they snuck a flooring vendor in down at the other end (or gutters or blinds, IDK I wasn't paying attention, but he wasn't selling food). Glad I went, and glad I don't need to go back.

Thursdays are my favorite! 4+. Smaller more manageable than the big Ballard market (love it but very different). This is great if you like to come in for a little stroll and support local producers. Some good variety in produce, Two If By Sea smoked wild salmon is tasty, good baked goods, honeybees and honeys, tomatoes, flowers, food trucks and yummy SEATTLE pops and wood fire pizza. (Spicy pepperoni if u like a little kick) Sometimes nice music, friendly neighborhood vibe, great for kids, easy, not too crowded, a great alternative to the supermarket if going for produce, honey and or fish,pasta or grass fed meats, and eggs. Even if you just go for a stroll, listen to some music and eat at the food trucks and buy nothing to take home, it makes for a nice outside break. For kids the bees making honey in the clear see through contraption is neat. Kids of most ages will enjoy it. Kids can learn about farm to table, dance, have a seattle pop or wood fire pizza, pick out there berry baskets, and often there is something to learn or do at one of the market tables.

It was nice, enjoyed the live music briefly, got some great produce. Just taking off a couple stars because we looked ahead of time to see the dog policy and the website didn't say anything about it so we brought our puppy. But once we got there it was big signs about no dogs. (Also, why no dogs? It's outside. We've been to many farmers markets in Seattle and elsewhere that welcome dogs.) So we had to make the trip brief.

One of the worst! Bad place to have a farmers market at, super boring!! The products are not of that much variety. Compared with others they definitely need to step up their game !!

-----JUST WANTED TO UPDATE FOR 2010-------------------- Location is now: THURSDAY - back in the Presbyterian Church's parking lot at: 1717 Bellevue Way NE Bellevue WA 98004 SATURDAY- in the parking lot in front of Washington Square condos (at the corner of 8th and 106th) 10610 NE 8th St Bellevue WA 98004 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fresh produce, fish, flowers, and pizza! A cornucopia spilleth over with abundance :D Check the website for details about vendors and events. Also it doesn't get 5 stars because when I went yesterday, 60% of the stock available was turnips. A sea of turnips extending to the horizon... Nobody could possibly like turnips that much :O

One of the smaller Farmer's markets for Saturday but some good vendors. I especially like the crepes, the cheese monger and the girl that has the wild greens, fresh herbs and broccoli. She has some of the spiciest salad mixes...real good stuff! I give her 5 stars.

The Bellevue Farmers Market no longer happens twice a week, as they've limited it to Thursdays off of Bellevue Way in a church parking lot towards the Clyde Hill area. They used to have this occur on Saturdays in the galleria area of Downtown Bellevue, which was nice because you were able to bring your dogs and they even provided treats at the information table. But unfortunately, they do not allow dogs here at the Thursday location. It's also much further of a walk if you live downtown. And the Thursday selection is much smaller. There are the same two food trucks here, in addition to the regular vendors, which mostly consist of farmers. Although there is a large private parking lot I wouldn't make an effort to come here - simply based on the limited selection and not allowing dogs to come with. And there are other farmers markets that occur during the week in nearby Eastside neighborhoods which are much better.

This place is cute. And slightly expensive. And overall a very pleasant experience. Boyfriend lives downtown so we decided to come here one afternoon to get the tacos one of the tents sells because he had eaten them the previous weekend and LOVED them. We waited in line. We ate them. I had two steak and one carnitas. They were delicious. Tender. Slightly spicy (too spicy for me but I'm a huge spice novice/baby). We also drank the horchata (supa supa delicious). After eating, we walked around the other tents. There was a crepe/patisserie one, flowers, fresh farmer vegetables (expensive), cheeses, and farm/grass fed/bougie/world conscious meat, and a few others. I would say there was probably about 15 tents. It's very precious. If you have gone to other farmers markets, this one is going to seem very small to you. I don't think these farming associations/local vendors are going out of their way to please passing people and who the hell said they needed to? It was a nice trip-great for friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, families to do together. Things are slightly pricey though. That's what you get for buying farm fresh genuine products though.

Tamales, Molly Moon ice cream, Veraci pizza, baked goods, fresh cheese = yay I was having a terrible day and saw on Molly Moon's twitter feed that they were at the Bellevue Farmer's market so I thought I'd check it out. It's a small farmers market but the produce stands that were there were well stocked with great looking produce. For such a small place there was a great variety of food and other gifty type items. Since I don't live in Bellevue I don't think I'll be back often but if I'm craving Veraci and don't want to haul into Seattle I'll be back for dinner and dessert.

One huge advantage of the Bellevue Farmers Market is parking. The market itself is held in a large church parking lot however the lot adjacent is open as well for parking. No need to prowl around looking for parking at this market! All your favorites from Seattle make it here as well - you'll find veggies, flowers, bread, pies, berries, kids activities, sometimes music, and a lot of people looking for the freshest stuff around. A crowd favorite seems to be pizza. Each week a trailer that holds a huge woodfired oven. Each pizza has thin crust and cooks in about two minutes. You can order a full pizza or by the slice. Delicious!

Took an out-of-town trip from Vancouver BC. This market has so many beautiful bouquets, and fresh fruits & veggies. Ended up getting some local organic berries, Kimchi, and cheese twists. Coincidentally, they had a free "Downtown Market Walk" that day where we explored downtown Bellevue and had free samples from Community Food Co-op, Avenue Bread, Woods Coffee (awesome yogurt), Great Harvest Breads, Woods Coffee (wonderful yogurt), Mallard Ice Cream and Onyx Coffee Bar, which were all nearby. Love the community feel.

This place is great however a bit pricey. The cool thing is that you can try befory buying. I love their fresh fruits, you won't find better tasting anywhere. I especially like buying peaches there -this is the real taste of summer. Fresh herbs, broccoli are also good.

Nice little market in the parking lot of the party source. You can find fresh baked bread, herbs, plants and crafts. I live in Bellevue so its a nice walk from my place and can be very walkable from parts of newport as well. Support your local farmers, its worth the walk or drive.

I'm making a public vow to go here every weekend (it's open Wednesday's too). If you want to pick up some fresh produce, baked goods, wine, and other products this is a fun easy to get to farmer's market. Every booth had a friendly vendor ready and willing to help. There were no grumpy farmer's here. They told you what they did and how they did it - even if this city boy didn't understand it. I'm not a tomato fan but bought ones that were incredible. Apparently, I'm just not a grocery store tomato fan. I took them home, seasoned them, breaded them with some panko and fried them up lightly and that could have been the meal in itself. But we also had some hot-dogs. All beef made from cows that the kid selling us the dogs had feed and cared for himself. And for dessert we had some gelato from a place just down the street I didn't know existed. Now I do. yum. Come to the market. Get your dinner. Learn where your dinner came from. And if nothing else, it's in the Party Source's parking lot and I'm sure you'll be there that weekend also.

I think this market has grown into a well established community farmers market. I really like all of the vendors and the produce is beautiful with lots of other interesting local items for sale. This market is worth stopping for.

So, I can't tell you how excited I was as a Bellevue resident to learn that a farmer's market was coming. After several visits, I am a huge fan!!! First, there is great variety from all of the vendors. From fruits and veggies, plants, bread, wine, meats, gelato and even homemade soaps, there is something for everyone! The vendors themselves are friendly, helpful, and are excited to talk about their goods and help you out if you have any questions. A big thanks to all who made this happen in Bellevue!

Charming Farmers Market with a small town feel. I went for the first time and took the kids. We had a great time! There were fruit and veggie vendors, food trucks, live music, and lots more! The kids roamed the market with their friends and I sat and listened to the live music while enjoying the sights and sounds of the market. Great little local gem!

I have been to this market several times now and it is so close to my house and the hours are convenient. I've been purchasing bread, flowers, lettuce, onions, berries, cherries and whatever else looks good. All food was amazing and the flowers (I had custom bouquets made) lasted 7 days. Great timing. The other reviews are accurate. It's a fun place to go and the food trucks are very popular but it is expensive. It'd be a bargain for date night though. I told my husband I'd take him out to dinner at the Farmer's Market but he didn't go for it. The live music and pizza oven are very popular. You can even taste wine (or least when I was there).

Very small. Confusing for location. Two different places for Thursday and Saturday. On Saturday they are in Barnes and Noble complex. You have to buy something to get a parking ticket validate. Nothing great about this market.

I was super bummed when I moved to Newport that I wouldn't be able to walk to the cute little Covington farmer's market anymore, but then I learned that Bellevue was starting a farmer's market in the parking lot of the Party Source. Granted, I still can't walk there, but this little market has won me over with its charm. There are usually about 12 different vendors set up, a tent with live music and a wide range of products from the traditional fruits and veggies, to plants, bread, wine, meats, cheeses etc. The vendors are super friendly and helpful. Best part of the whole thing is that after picking up your veggies you can stop by The Party Source and stock up on booze. Win win! And you are shopping local. So no one loses!

I ran across this market by accident yesterday as I pulled into Party Source, but cannot wait to visit again. There were only a few stands (that'll change, I'm told), but they were great! I ended up getting a lot of information from one of the vendors about plants that I'm growing, and he was genuine and helpful and not hurried, and even gave me a sample of lemon bomb mint to take home with my spearmint plant. Blue Oven Bakery was also there, and a knife sharpening service! How cool is that! I have a nice incentive to hop across the river for fresh, local products and services. I've become almost dependent on Findlay Market, which is NOT a bad thing, but it's nice to have another option just as close by (*with free parking).

Love downtown Bellevue, but so disappointed in how boring and small this was. It's missing so much for the area....no music either! Not much for selection of vendors and the only really food was one Asian fusion food truck and then one stand from Wise Guys (which I DO recommend! Great sausage and meatball hero). Sad to say...I will not be visiting this market again :-/

Probably one of the best farmers markets I have ever been to. Ample parking inside the church lot. The vendors were all wonderful and had a large selection of fresh fruit, veggies and other items.

I only picked this to tell folks that the website listed on YELP is WRONG...it's for Bellevue WASHINGTON. I think, too, that the address is wrong. Review looks correct in that it is held in the parking lot of the Party Source...which might technically be Newport? Either way, it's awesome there is a Farmers Market in Bellevue KENTUCKY! Please, anyone associated with the market, is there a correct web address???? THANKS, a new Bellevue resident excited about the market!

The selection at this market has been dwindling for a while now, and, when I visited it a few days ago, it was definitely not at its best. This place is still good to buy top-notch flowers and straight-from-the-farmer-himself vegetables and fruits as well as an assortment of baked goods, but it's lost its former glory. If you've never been here before, it's still definitely a good place to look, but I'd recommend, if you have the time, visiting other Seattle-area markets that are bursting with activity, such as in Ballard.

I attended the Thursday market just north of downtown Bellevue. Lots of variety and organic food plus entrees. Hooray, my favorite salmon supplier, too (Two if by Seafood)! Read more at my photo-blog http://bit.ly/KYFZQv Four stars instead of five as I'd prefer an earlier start time (11am) though I assume vendors need time to set-up. In any case, a perfect dinner meeting spot to wait until traffic clears!

Yummy! Small but lovely. Fresh local food and produce. Vendors are very kind and welcoming. Had croissant that was delicious from local bakery!

Discovering the Bellevue Farmers Market years ago opened my summers to once again being able to enjoy the fruits and vegetables of my childhood -- the incredible taste and flavors that I remember from the 50s and 60s (as our food was meant to be). The summer fruits and especially the organic heirloom tomatoes can once again be appreciated as they should be. I am especially grateful to have found the best tomato growers at the Market, Kittitas Valley Greenhouse (Richard and Mary Ness) who have enabled me to relish superb tomatoes for countless summers.

not a bad farmer's market but def small and mostly veggie/fruit vendors. quick walkthrough if you are looking for a quick trip.

Lots of organic foods and in May, starter plants of herbs and vegetables. The plants I bought had aphids and other pests, so inspect your organic plant purchases carefully! Vegetables like specialty greens and tomatoes look really nice, but pretty expensive (up to $6 per pound). This is harsh especially in a down economy! I took home some really tender red leaf lettuce, a loaf of bread, and cider.

Of all the markets on the Eastside, this one is my favorite. It is far from the biggest, but the date, time, and location work well for me, and there are several vendors there I really like - Preston Bakery, House of the Sun, and several produce vendors, especially Willie Greens. Given its smaller size, I wouldn't recommend driving out of one's way to shop there, but given the quality of what is there, if you are in the area on a Thursday afternoon, I recommend stopping by.
