Crossroads Farmers Market

So beautiful outdoors atmosphere and nice place to walk around your neighborhood, getting fresh vegetables and fruits! They have food and different options of.

It’s small, and compared to Redmond farmers market, the sellers aren’t nearly as kind. Went to Amador farms to buy some plums and the lady checking me out was unpleasant, not to mention when her coworker had some watermelon samples I asked if I could take one and she said in Spanish “a small piece, [she only spent] 3 dollars” not knowing I speak Spanish too. Went to some other sellers and said hi and was received with cold responses if any! Seriously if you want a cute farmers market vibe, just go to Redmond or Issaquah.

I bought strawberries and vegetables from this small market. Very fresh. I would like to visit again.

Fun, well laid out market. This market is packed with delicious produces and a variety of lunch spots along the way. Parking is easily accessible and close to the market enternace. Fun time for a quick trip or a lovely afternoon with friends/family.

This is a small but diverse market. Some vendors specialize in Asian offerings. I love the flat Italian green beans, which I find are difficult to locate. The floral vendor has spectacular assortments and they are fresh. Last an entire week for a $15 bouquet. Beats those grocery store flowers. They have expanded the food vendors and offer live music. Bathrooms are nearby in the mall entrance next to the market.

I really love the different kinds of food. It never seems to get too crowded and the selection of fruit and veggies are awesome. My kids love the Mexican corn, snow cones and popcorn.

Ok. Not too many vendors. Not enough people? High rent? Idk. Food is great but sometimes few vendors. Some want a kings ransom for lunch. The crepe makers, papusa cooks, and the place with all kinds of drinks (horchata, various berry or lemonadeish drinks) are awesome.

The farmers market is really cool it happens every tuesday. They have a lot of fresh produce and other vendors. awesome live music and some booths there are local restaurants that come in and cook great food

We stumbled upon this market. It was fairly small but had some produce available. I believe I might even saw a mushroom stand.

I don't usually visit farmers markets but I really wanted cherries since its cherry season. This farmers market is fairly small and likely even smaller than usual given covid19. You are asked the usual questions of have you been in contact with anyone who has been sick before entering. Inside, the booths were spaced apart. From what I noticed, there were 2-3 strawberry booths, 4 veggie+fruit booths, 2-3 flower booths and a handful of other miscellaneous booths in the realm of food. Given the size, it's an easy market to walk around, look at prices and decide what you want within 30 minutes. An update: I went again this week for more cherries. Compared to last time where we were still in phase 1, there were more people visiting + 1 more vendor I didn't see last time, popcorn! I just wanted to add that they are limiting the number of people inside, and the person with the questions has a spray bottle of sanitizer if you want any sanitizer.

Writing an update 5 years after my initial review. The Crossroads Farmers Market hasn't really changed all that much in the last 5 years. It did move into the parking lot next to the main building as it previously had been in the parking lot fronting Crunch and Stone Gardens. The hours have changed slightly as it is now open on Tuesdays from 12-6 pm. The selection of vendors is pretty much the same. You will find about a half dozen vendors selling fruits and veggies along with a number of vendors selling specialty foods and meals. I see the same fruit and veggie sellers here, but the prepared foods vendors have changed a bit. Among the current food offerings are pizza from Veraci, malasadas from Hawaii's Donuts and a new stand serving Chinese food. I have been coming to this farmers market more frequently during the summer for my produce needs. The prices are pretty reasonable and the produce is fresh. Some items were just harvested the previous day! There are also a couple Asian produce sellers so it is nice that I can pick up some Chinese broccoli and pea vines here. While the product selection is not as extensive as other farmers markets in the Seattle area, I like shopping here as it is close to home and a good place to pick up some fresh local produce at a reasonable price.

The Crossroads Farmers Market occurs every Tuesday from 12-6PM, right across Crunch gym and the Bellevue Police Department on the backside of the mall. I've gone a few times, and found that the farmer's market is much smaller than other markets on the Eastside, including the Bellevue Farmer's Market. Many of the vendors are farmers selling their local produce, with few craft vendors and prepared foods. What's nice is that there is provided covered seating with picnic tables for anyone visiting and eating at the market, and the location is very convenient as there's a ton of parking at Crossroads Mall for it. Plus, there is no restriction on dogs, as they are allowed, which unfortunately, is not the case at other markets. However, a lot of the farmers sell the same products as the others farmers here, so there isn't much variation, and I've found that food trucks listed on the website to be present are sometimes not here. I do like when the Crossroads Farmers Market has particular events going on, like a food truck festival where a handful of trucks will be present, as they've done so in the past and it's made for a livelier market. But overall, this market is fine. I'd recommend visiting if you're already in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to specifically visit this market due, to duplicated farmers being at other Eastside markets where there is much more variety and options.

What's there NOT to love about this open-air weekly market? It's close, convenient, friendly, and there's always live music. The concierge stand will sell you a super-big, super-strong farmers market canvas bag for $7 and then every time you bring it to the market, you get a wooden token good for $1 worth of merchandise at any market stall. The market is open 20 weeks... do the math... you can MAKE MONEY on your spiffy bag! Everything has to be grown or made by hand in Washington state (and the market managers DO check). Vendors include: Acma Orchards Blue Cottage Jams CC's Bakery Cha New Life Garden Classic Kettle Corn Collins Family Orchards Essential Bakery Family Peppers & Produce Full Circle Farm Garden Treasures Hawaiian Shaved Ice Hayton Farms Kayeng Chen Flowers Magana Farms Martin Family Orchards Paula's Pepper Jelly Raft Island Roses Sidhu Farms Smith Brothers Dairy (monthly) The French Bakery The Old Farmer Val's Surroundings Honey Whitney Farms Willies Greens Yeng Garden Youngquist Farms

I've been wanting to come to this place for a while now to check it out and I am pretty disappointed. It is actually a decent size market but like some reviewers says, there was a lot of repeating stalls. So overall, there was maybe only 5 or 6 different stalls all together. There was at least 6-7 stalls selling fruits, a couple selling flowers, one stand for lemonade, one for kettle corn and shaved ice, one for ice cream, and one food truck. Nothing else. I also came at 450 and they were already packing to close even though it doesn't close till 6. Overall, I am most likely not come back here again

I have heard about this compact farmer's market for a long time. I finally went there today. Good - they take credit card - not pricey veggies. - garden burger - Papparddelle's not only offer interesting, flavored pasta (Basil Tangerine Fettuccine, Chipotle Pepper Fettuccine, Orange Szechuan Linguine, Red Jalapeno Fettuccine, etc), they also provide recipes. I have bought Asian Orzo (Sesame, Lemon Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Chive and Garlic Parsley) and I bet it'd be good!!!! -easy parking Bad -compact, 15 booths It is not the best farmer's market in our area. It is convenient and easy parking to shop though.

A feast of farm fresh fruit (and veggies)! This is a great farmer's market. It's in the rear parking lot of Crossroads Mall on Tuesdays. There's quite a selection of farm stands. The night I visited, I was able to find fresh organic pickling cucumbers, some very nice eggplant, and some fresh pears and nectarines. One stand had a great selection of hot peppers. Prices are very reasonable. Other wares included some potted perennials for crazy low prices, and the usual assortment of craft type items (soap, earrings, and so on). Bring a bag to carry your purchases, as not all the vendors provide them. There's usually a food truck so you can pick up some dinner to go.

A decent variety within this small farmer's market. There are 31 vendors including crafts, berries, produce, dairy and meat, flowers, processed foods, and hot foods.

Decent farmer's market. They have a good variety of berry stands, fruit stands, veggie stands, and all the other categories i will put as "etc" (bakeries, jewelry, ice cream). I came here just to try Lilli-Pilli's macarons, for which, by itself, the trip was totally worth it. Also tried a blackberry at one of the stands, very sour. Make sure to ask for a sample before you buy anything. Got some majorly delicious nectarines at a larger stall towards the back, some of the best i've ever had. I will probably be stopping by every week in the forseeable future for some rockin macarons and sweet nectarines.

This is a great little outdoor farmer's market located in the back parking lot area of the Crossroads shopping center. Lots of good variety with so many booths full of fresh produce and food vendors along with flowers, baked goods, and lots of other fun stuff. For me, this is a nice change of place in comparison to all the normal lunch places I go to week after week. I can pick up a pizza, some tamales, or a bag full of fruit to bring back to work. On a sunny day, it doesn't get any better than this. One area they could improve would be to find a better location in the parking lot. Where its at serve its purpose, but it just feels wedged in to the space and could benefit from more room and better exposure.

For a farmer's market it's depressingly small. It was a quick 10 minute wander through and that included 5 minutes picking out the right bouquet of flowers. It had nice variety and friendly vendors. Jam, flowers, fruits/veggies, food carts, trinkets... Minimal duplication, too, which is a good thing at it's small size. Parking was easy, but traffic in the parking lot was hectic. All in all, I just wasn't impressed.

Small and not a great variety but what's worse is the vendors! Every single one we bought from were not friendly and didn't seem to appreciate our business! Won't be returning.

I have gone several times to this market and I really like it. For not many stands, it has a good variety of items for sale with great prices. I really like the people (super friendly) with the credit card option (you can buy $5 tokens to spend with a credit card at the welcome stand, and you can get change back from them). I recommend doing a walk-through, seeing what you want, and then figuring out how many tokens to get (or cash to spend). There are food booths to pick up a lunch (crepes and falafels on my last visit), as well as musicians that come fairly regularly. The only complaints are the timing (Tuesdays from 12-6:30pm) and the size.

This farmers market only gets better as the spring and summer go on! Awesome food trucks and some great produce stands, lots of awesome ethnic food and decent pricing! I stop by this market on my lunch break from work, it's usually busy but the food truck lines move quickly!

Fun, small farmers market. Great place to take the kids. Nice selection, prices are better than the store. I love bringing my son with me, Its nice and small so he actually look at the entire market without wanting to run off. Vendors are all friendly and informative.

We love the city of Bellevue, and always enjoy street vendors and live music at the Farmer's Market. On a recent trip, our out-of-town guest purchased tokens to shop at the market for his family. After buying whatever produce was available, there were still a lot of tokens left over. He went to the cashier (Roz L.), and she was terribly RUDE, saying no refunds! She yelled and was very nasty, even in front of other people. There was no polite communication to discuss the subject. Maybe Roz has a race dislike for others with dark skin. Never seen such aweful customer service; it's a disgrace that employees are allowed to treat customers this way. Note: there were no signs that display, "All sales final" on the day of purchase.

This little market has everything you need. It is small yet all types of vendors are represented. As the season progresses they will all have a much larger selection. The organic greens with edible flowers from Whidbey Island are fantastic. Another Whidbey treat is the lavender ice cream, hmmm.. Pause take a deep breath,consider should I share with the fam or eat it before they get home? Next week I will buy more than one so they can have a taste!! Bautista Farms is great and super friendly. Prices are reasonable and fruits and veggies are fresh and that's all I need. Not into the whole beads and jewelry stuff, I go for the produce and fruit and am grateful they're close to home. Buy the kale and make chips they are melt in your mouth yummy.

Can you believe that you can have authentic French crepes at a farmer's market? I was impressed and totally surprised ! I never thought of having crepes in a local compact farmer's market. It was wonderful! There are so many choices to choose from too. They also have sweet tea. It is not normal ice tea. For some reason it is very refreshing and yummy. That crepe stand becomes my Tuesday lunch place! There are also other stands there worth checking out. I usually pick up a bag of kettle corns for my office. The produce there is really fresh - especially those raspberries!

Just went today, bigger than previous posts state and pictures show, it has grown a bit since last year when I visited. However, it would be better if they expanded even more! Lots of fresh berries and fruit and nice variety of veggies. I was looking for tomatoes but none out in the entire market. :( I went at about 4:15pm and perhaps all stands were out? I have purchased tomatoes at the market many times so will try again next week. They have a a decent variety of items even jewelry. I do agree with another poster, its missing a fresh meat/fish stand or two. I did see a stand with signs for grass fed beef but no product and from the conversation they were having with a customer it sounds like you had to place an order. I'm allergic to beef so it would be nice to have other fresh meat/fish options. I did order a salmon burger from the Buns food truck. That was pretty decent. I walked away with my burger to the sound of a nice folksy male/female duo playing guitar and singing (they must have been good I thought it was a radio at first). Oh, and next time I think I'll stop at the sweets place and get a slice of that chocolate peanut butter malt pie thingy and some of the beer marshmallows (strange combo but something fun to try)! Lots of open parking spots when I got there... Fun to stop by if you have a few extra minutes...
