Reviews of Findlay Market (Fruit Store)

Carsten Baumann

Great spot to check out outside of downtown Cincinnati in the Over the Rhine neighborhood. There are several old school meat shops and a seafood stand besides the produce offerings. Several places offer prepared food: it ranges from sandwiches to burritos and lobster bisque to Belgian waffles. I opted for the smoked salmon baguette and some locally roasted coffee. Good for people watching, out of towners mingling with locals.

Findlay is one of the best things you can do if your spending a weekend in Cincinnati. You can either park in their lot, or it’s not a bad walk or a short trolley ride from Washington Park. This place is particularly fun on the weekends because lots of vendors come in and set up shop. Most of them are food related, but on a Saturday you might find local artists as well. We definitely have some favorite places that we like to eat - Eli’s for their ribs, Mavericks for some fancy chocolate truffles or go to the main inside market and grab a gyro that is absolutely stuffed with meat!

Man favorite food experience in Cincinnati - much like the Westside Market in Cleveland. Great place to find very fresh meats, bread and local vegetables. Also close to unique restaurants and cafes. Don’t miss this place if you visit Cincinnati.

I love this place! It's wonderful to walk through and shop local flairs. We sampled everything they offered and brought home some of our favorites. Fresh produce was abundant, so bring your shopping bags for your healthy eats. It's pet friendly, bring only friendly pets! There are great restaurants, and mom and pop stores and shops that offer intercontinental items. Fish market, meat market, clothing, leather items, flowers, sweets, doggy treats, plus more. It's a wonderful outing for families, dates and just time for yourself. Go!

Every time we travel to Cincinnati this is our first and last stop. It's a friendly atmosphere and it feels like a farmer's market. There are many local vendors with homemade goods including jeweley, lotions, breads, produce and other things. There's a guitar playing veteran who sings for his supper. I LOVE the place.

Location: In the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Parking is available in various lots (not sure if these are free) but on a Saturday, they looked pretty busy!). The place: Cincinnati's oldest market is spread out across one big square (closed to cars). You'll find plenty of food shops where you can buy cheese or bread, produce, chocolate - you name it. Personally, I thought this might be a good place to find some local goodies of the non-food variety, but this wasn't the case. During the week, it's not very busy, but on weekends, it's a whole other story. I stopped by on a Saturday and the vibe was great - amidst the hustle and bustle, there were Christmas carolers and a black Santa blasting Christmas music. Loved it! Service: Depends where you go. Price point: Depends what you buy. While you're there, check out the great murals that are scattered about.

1/3 of this market is butcher counters. I'm still unsure if those served food or not. It's a cute little market with lots of food options. There's a duck hunt game that we really enjoyed, there are 25 ducks hidden and we spent some time …

There are a lot of shops and market type foods to buy. The buildings are beautifully restored, nice photo ops. However, the neighborhood it is located in is not the best. We found locals looking in our car windows, and homeless people hanging around at the market. Overall, if you're looking for some unique food items, you can probably find it at the market, so you may want to check it out.

We love visiting Findlay Market when we are in town. The atmosphere is great and the food is fresh and delicious. Lots of food choices as well.

If you’re visiting Cincinnati you have to go to Findlay! There are tons of food options, so everyone can find something they like & there are even fresh meats, seafood, pasta etc. that you can take home & cook yourself. It really is a catch-all place. And even though it’s very busy inside & can be hard to move around, I never had to wait long at any of the places I ordered from. They also have stalls outside with goods ranging from fresh fruits & veggies to home decor, jewelry & more.

What a great market!! Lots of vendors with some really cool offerings. The vendors are cool, but that is not a surprise. Small business owners who operate in the market environment usually are. Thoroughly enjoyed walking through --- …

Lots of fresh meats and produce along with all sorts of vendors. Stopped at mama made it kettle popcorn. Never thought there would be a better popcorn than Gattetts out of Chicago, but Mama has done it. Also the lemonade is a must. It was truly the BEST lemonade I have ever had.

Always such a lively, active, and colorful place for anyone of any background to be. Whether solo, with kids, wandering aimlessly, or on a mission to get groceries, there is something for everyone. Almost everything is local so you can feel good about spending money. Products range in price, but again there is something for everyone (coffee, bagel, cheese, wine, tea, fruit, pies, handmade crafts, hot sauces, leather goods, oils, etc). Friday-Sunday are definitely the most busy and active days for a good taste of the culture. Highly recommend.

Pretty Awesome Market w/ anything and everything you need and many yummy things inbetween that you'll probably enjoy as well..

What a wonderful place to visit. We have 4 children all under 10 yrs of age. They had fun picking out lunch, and being a Wednesday afternoon it wasn't too busy. I think my wife and I would have had more fun going there on a date night, than as a visit with the kids, but if going with kids I would definitely recommend during the day. It's a great place for food whether to eat then and there or to take home and cook later.

Great market... some of the stores have selections that are second to none... All the stores are independently owned.. no chain presence in the market... weekends typically have the farmers market and this time of year there are lots of veggies available. Suggest you give it a try...

Amy Wilson

Blew me right out of the water! It was fabulous! So much to choose from and the food made on sight is out of this world crazy delicious! We will be back from Indiana

Jason Spears

Always fresh food. Go to Niels stand for your meat. It is on the south corner on Elm Street side on the inside. He has the best prices and the freshest meats. All his employees are great friendly and awesome. The best meat store in the market by far.

Lori Andrews

The man at the produce market was amazing! He helped me when I lost my phone and called me when I left my travel bag! The prices there are fabulous, too!

H Ward

Highly recommend. Love this place! Be prepared for a whole lot of people in a small space. This is mostly shopping space, little walking/standing areas. Well worth the trip. Lots of fresh foods, meats, cheeses, spices, breads.

We wanted to experience local market and Findlay Market fit the bill. In the historic part of town, with multiple vendors of produce, meat, restaurants, plant, ethnic foods, and lots more. Aesthetically pleasing with vibrant colors open air outside seating and and right on the tram stop. The only drawback is restrooms are in rough shape.

Olivia Wilkin

Real quick first visit from Dayton. Great meat selection and prices. Great spice store and produce vendors. Bringing an ice pack next time to take home meats and sausages.

Maria Polo

Loved it there was tons of parking close to the actual market. It is kind of a narrow space so it can get easily crowded. So many options the food is great and there are bakery's close by.

The most iconic Cincinnati owned tradition... except for the Reds. Exceptional market and area unlike anywhere else. You need to go here if you visit. If you live here, go ever week. Shout out to the people who run this place...

mistycarnrite

What a delightful place to spend the morning! We nibbled our way through various food stands enjoying the most delicious food ~ it was like a tapas brunch. Colorful, quaint, a lovely place to wander and people watch.

Chris Chavez

Best market I've ever been to. Plenty to see here, lots of fresh meat, eggs, chicken and they have plenty of fresh seafood. Awesome, amazing, I wish I had more time to sample everything.

Jason Bradley

Definitely a must see location in Cincinnati. Located in historic Over-The-Rhine, home there since the 1850's, an awesome place to visit. There is so much there to see and experience lots of different vendors to choose from, a variety of foods, meats and produce. Always have a great experience there.

Got a pretty crystal necklace. Also some food. Always satisfied when I come here!
