Farmers Market Xchange

We came in here to check it out on a weekday right before closing and got to talk to one of the sons. He was very approachable and shared with us how they make and source their products. Naturally we went back the next morning for breakfast. I got a croissant with egg, bacon, and cheese and it was so delicious. Light and flakey, and so flavorful. I brought my whole family and we enjoyed a delightful breakfast. Seeing us with the kids I’m not sure if it’s normal but they told us we could pay after we ate. These owners are super nice and I love the thought and care that goes into everything they make.

SUCH a cool little gem, great sourdough and a great local place for breakfast sandwiches and coffee! They also have a grocery area with produce, meats, and miscellaneous items. Everyone who works here is friendly and helpful! Highly recommend checking it out!

I got a fresh focaccia square slice, a meatball sub on homemade 11-grain bread, and 12 sourdough bagels to go. It was all amazing! The owners were very nice and pleasant. Will definitely come back here!!

This place is a hidden gem in Columbia! A Turkish family bought it in September 2024, and the food is amazing. Plus, Mr. Neşet and his family are so kind and welcoming! They bake fresh bread and bagels every day. Inside, there’s an organic grocery store w/ organic + international products, a butcher shop, a coffee and pastry spot, and a bakery. It definitely deserves more attention and love! ♥️🍞🥯🥬

Absolute delight! It’s the most friendly, family run shop with a lovely sitting area, fantastic dry/canned goods, meat counter, sandwich and coffee counters and my favorite- the bakery! I especially enjoyed chatting with the gentleman baker, discussing lovely heritage grains that go into the baked sourdough bread. I will return soon (and probably enjoy a baklava coffee!)

I loved this wonderful place: good food, friendly family serving the public, customers are kind here, I met new folks and loved the family-like atmosphere of a home. Free parking was limited but I got a spot. I bought multiple loafs of delicious bread, raw-milk yogurt, 20 meatballs, angus burger, organic coffee, and more. I loved everything! And located just a few min away from the river, this spot attracted me because I could walk the greenway after lunch, which was exactly what I did. I’m coming back soon 🤗

My husband and I had coffee from the Farmers Market Xchange two days in a row. The coffee wasn’t bitter, it was smooth, and you could tell from the taste that it was made with pride. It was delicious! Ali made our coffee and he was very personable and delightful. We didn’t have an opportunity to try the food, but we will on our visit.

What an awesome find in downtown Columbia! We need places like the Farmers Market Xchange. Run by (I assume) father and son it was such a nice place to stop for a wonderful breakfast bagel and some coffee. The owners were so kind and helpful and the food was incredible!!!! Had the everything bagel w bacon, egg and cheese while my sister had the bagel with lox,capers and cream cheese. So fresh and the taste was 🔥. We couldn’t leave without buying a dozen of @bensbagelscolumbia they were that good. Wandering around the market they had everything from fresh vegetables, cheeses, meats , olive oils and other pastries. We have to come back for their lunch specials and soups. Go check them out!! You won’t be disappointed!

What a great concept! We shared a deliciously fresh sandwich (The Tractor) with chips. The staff were friendly and had pleasant dispositions. They gave us dessert recommendations when we were eyeing the sweets case while ordering a latte after lunch. The place was comfortable and clean. There is a small market of various foods and drinks. We enjoyed our meal outside since the weather was so nice. Definitely a great lunch spot!!

Had a takeout order of wild turkey sandwich, chips, and drink. Fresh and absolutely delicious food. Very attentive staff.

Mis visit this super neat market and coffee shop. Walk in early approx 9 am and revel in the magical smells of the bagels baking. They also have a butcher shop and a couple shops for espresso and macaroons and bakery items. Lovely historic building too

The Farmers Market Xchange is such a gem! It's family-run, offering a big space that's still super comfortable and welcoming. Definitely not the spot if you're in a rush, but perfect if you're looking to enjoy a laid-back environment. Their selection of meats, veggies, and jellies is seriously incredible. Plus, they have a coffee bar and a cool sandwich shoppe inside. I'm looking forward to coming back with my husband! Also great place to bring your laptop and work.

Just had the best coffee of my life! We had a tiramisu latte and it was amazing! Literally the best coffee I have ever had and cheaper than Starbucks which is fab! Will definitely be back when I'm back in town. The bagels were also great!

What a great little place. Staff was super helpful. We opted for fresh delivery sandwiches. I had the Wild Turkey which was actually sliced from a fried turkey. It was so fresh and delicious. The taste was incredible. I chose toast sourdough bread which was amazing. Hubby had the Roast beef sandwhich on Multigrain and he too, said his was incredible. The horseradish sauce on the roast beef was perfectly spicy and flavorful. They also offer a daily "hot plate" special. Today's was pot roast, corn and mashed potatoes with hoemmade cheesecake. It looked really good but we were set with our sandwiches. They had homemade baklava as well but I resisted. They have fresh made bread every other day including cranberry & walnut and olive and garlic bread. You can also special order the breads for pick up on any day. They include deserts from other vendors as well. I love this little place and will return again, preferably for lunch but also just pick up fresh veggies on the run. They also carry very nice specialty food items such as jams, oils, wines, etc., that make great gifts!

This place didn't quite hit the spot for me... I came here looking to grab some snacks and a to-go lunch. It has the feel of a farm to table market, with a limited number of produce and some local pantry items like jams. I saw they had bread and was super excited for this, and was hoping that they'd have items for a charcuterie board, but alas, I couldn't find this. I ended up grabbing some dip from the fridge and a baguette. It was pretty good. I also wanted to order some prepared food items from the counter. It was really difficult to find someone who could make the sandwich for me. I wandered around, looked at the deli counter, saw someone who was on the phone and helping someone else. Got ignored. Got ignored again. Felt like I was in the way of other customers, or perhaps employees. Didn't feel particularly welcomed. Finally got someone's attention and he started to make my sandwich order, then mid-way, helped someone else. Sandwich was fine. Appreciated that they don't skimp on the fillings. But overall, weird, unwelcomed vibes.

Cool farmer's market in the vista with unique pastry and caffeine confections as well as rotating menu of tasty cuisines. A newer establishment worthy of a look. Has raw milk if you're into that kind of thing.

Ridiculously cheap prices on coffee compared to some of the other places in downtown Columbia. Very quiet place, definitely a good place to just study or hang out.

Shared a great sandwhich and chips. Didnt appresh the "up sell tactic" when approached at the dessert display, it happens to be be by the coffee and thats what we were ordering before we left and just to look at something while we waited a man lurked in giving us unsolicited dessert advise. Thank you but no thank you.

Loved this place! Wish I could've taken it home with me (was visiting from out of state).

A gem. Quaint eatery perfect for lunch or coffee and chatter. I stumbled upon this place walking downtown. I stopped in for a fresh made deli sandwich. I'd love to try more of the homemade breads and fresh cut butcher products. All the staff were very friendly.

A great local farm to table market. They grow a variety of food in their farm here in Columbia. You might have seen them at soda city market as Tom's food. They also have great meat and I'm not a coffee drinker but my wife loves their coffee. On weekdays they have homemade lunches ready for you to eat. If you're looking for a great local market look no further.

Great sandwich. Excellent coffee. Great produce. Wonderful staff. This place is a must-see!
