Detailed Business hours needs to be posted. Drove 4 hours from upstate to come here specifically to buy flags & get some food. Hours are listed as closing at 7pm. We get here at 6:15 only to be told that it's not opened on Sundays. I questioned the hours posted on the entrance & was told that that applies to the food court. Nowhere online does it say that. Fine. We talk over to the food court, everything is closed. I am beyond annoyed at this point. What is the sense of posting hours if they aren't going to be followed.

Flatbush Central Caribbean Marketplace is more than just a Marketplace, it is a hub for the community! Between vendors and local community organizations, it is truly a venue that everyone should visit and support as often as they can. And always share positive feedback with the team there that works so hard to manage this truly transformative space.

Love coming here for culturally related goods. My daughter needed an outfit for culture day so this was the best place, just make sure to have your bargaining hat on as they're vendors with similar things. You want to make sure you get the best price and you aren't being taken.

Order food from the jerk chicken place, I ordered French fries and the cashier seemed very annoyed that I wanted ketchup with my fry fries, that were so dry. I even bought the aioli to go with it and it tasted like pure mayonnaise.
The fries were ok, my rating is mainly on service

Great market with many different vendors (clothes, body products, music..) they also have a couple of food vendors with really tasty options.
Loved that they use compostable plates and utensils!!
Mint Porch Cafe has healthy food/vegetarian options and a great selection of crafted teas.
