Kerrytown Market & Shops

I love their Farmers Market every Wednesday and Saturdays! Absolutely amazing produce, vegetables, and fruits offered from a variety of locals. There is something for everyone here to find and love. You must have some time to spend looking around but you will love your time here and your gifts you bring home with you!

Cute stores fun for window shopping. There are lots of loval products.
Convenient that the Saturday farmers market is right there, along with Sunday’s arts & craft market.

Such a fun fixture in Ann Arbor. I loved the oil and balsamic vinegar store most as well as the Zingerman’s market.

Glory hallelujah, they finally redid the bathrooms!

So many interesting little niche stores, so much to see. There’s so much to see and do here, from places to grab a meal or a cappuccino to shopping for clothes, gifts, toys, housewares, gourmet food, and wines. There’s even a salon upstairs.
For me, Found is where it’s at. It’s an amazing little gift shop featuring upcycled and vintage items and I fell in love with it the first time I stepped foot inside. The cute little wine shop downstairs features some really nice wines and caters to my inner oenophile. There’s also this amazing stationery shop that is an ephemera junkie’s delight.
You can waste a whole weekend hitting up all of the shops. There’s even a nice open-​air farmer’s market located outside. This is one of Kerrytown’s treasures and one of Ann Arbor’s finest gems. I try to stop in every time I’m back in town.

Love Kerrytown. I know someday far from now when I don’t live in Ann Arbor — I imagine myself living in an extravagant cabana in Bali sipping Bahama Mamas– I’ll really miss the eclectic quaintness of Kerrytown Market and Shops. Of course there’s the events, like the twice weekly farmers markets and the book fair and Santa during christmas, to name just a sliver. I went there a few weeks before Christmas and there was a little string band downstairs, and carolers upstairs and the place was packed… it was the convergence of seven different hallmark movies cute. I also love the businesses in Kerrytown, especially Sweetwaters, Sparrow, Everyday Wines, Found, Hollanders and the Lunchroom. And the seafood market. I like the layout, how the businesses just flow from one to the other. It’s a feast for the eyes, and of course the wallet. Pro tip: don’t come here in search of a bargain unless you’re going to the farmers market.

This is a great place in Ann Arbor to experience on a weekend (especially in the summer season). There are plenty of great shops that you won’t find anywhere else, the farmer’s market is a welcome change to chain store nasty groceries.
Take a morning trip here, grab a coffee and visit Zingerman’s.

What a lovely place. There is something to meet everyone’s curiosity and interests. Not a huge place but plenty to kill time searching for that unique find.

This mall is full of unique delightful shops. You can buy everything from Jewelry and toys to clothing and fine spices.
It is home of the Sparrow market and kitchen, Sweetwaters, Fistolinis oils, Hollanders, and more. For a small place there is an awful lot to shop for.
Be prepared to take your time because there is so much to see.
Wednesday is the Ann Arbor farm market just outside.
My only complaint is parking. There is never enough.

Cool, little shopping center. Lots of cute stores, including V2V which has lots of cool designers. Although the grocery store downstairs has nice stuff, I would much rather do my produce shopping outside at the farmer’s market vs inside; however, this time of year it’s only open a couple of times a week.
I tried a cookie from the grocery store and was kind of disappointed compared to my selections from Babo and Zingerman’s Bakeshop.

This place wasn’t bad. It’s like a indoor farmers market that also has a seafood and dining section. I ordered the special, Thai shrimp with basmati rice and thai coleslaw. It was nothing but fried shrimp covered in chili sauce but it was still good. Husband had a salmon burger and thought it was «ok.» I tend to gravitate towards joints like this. It has a Whole Food-​ish type of vibe but slightly more down to earth and a little more cramped. Parking was a bitch for a Tuesday afternoon.

Lovely, airy, cozy, and quaint marketplace! Kerrytown is tucked into a series of gorgeous brick buildings. The stores are all magnificent and the vibe is really great. I wish we hadn’t arrived so close to closing time, I could have spent all day here!
Also, the interior courtyard is a great place for a little downtime while you shop.

***REVIEW FOR SPARROW KITCHEN***
This is a little corner stand in Kerrytown, across from Sweetwaters and next to the check out register. They make sandwiches, salads, or burritos. There is a board of suggested items or grab a paper and marker to build your own.
Now I am not a sandwich person, but I do love zingerman’s sourdough, and was eager to try a sandwich with quality items. Bacon, avocado, brie, lettuce, mayo and red onion on sourdough. Now this is not the healthiest combo, but I was going to flavor and fill.
SCORE!!!
I macked my sandwich as soon as I got back to my desk and I am ready to go get another one. Maybe try another combo. Especially since my first sandwich was only $ 6! And they give you a little treat of a small berry cup with every sandwich. (maybe salads too, stay tuned)
I took off a star for the grumpy gal behind the counter and the akward wait time, but they got the star back for having honey cup mustard on the menu. Oh hell, that sandwich clinched the 5 stars anyway.
Be prepared to wait — it’s only one gal there and today is Farmers Market day. (probably why she was grumpy)

For starters I am a fan of all Markets, especially indoor year round ones and I was excited to see Ann Arbour had one as well.
I give it 4 stars since it has all the aspects I like, local venders, fresh meats, fish, bread, knick knacks but compaired to North Market in Columbus, Findaly Market in Cincinatti, or my favorite Pike Place Market in Seattle, Kerrytown just can’t compare.
Granted, Ann Arbour is way smaller than any of those citys but still even the set up is strange, there are alot of dead ends so that it doesn’t flow naturally and you end up having to go the same way back.
The isles are pretty tight, no fun if its full or you have bags to schlepp.
Upstairs is the clothing, fun to see but nothing really worth buying IMO.
Downstairs since we were just visiting I had no use for fresh meats or fish, so I did the usual and got something at the little bakery stand.
2 girls cute as a button selling amazing looking pastries I could not pass up.
Pricey, but not unusual at Markets I couldn’t pas sup the $ 4! 7 layer bar and the peanut butter and triple chocolate cookies she just pulled out of the oven.
All 3 were out of this world good, how can a gooey warm cookie not be good, same for a bar loaded with everything my little heart desires?
Yes, that bakery was great, the market cute and fun to walk through, but doesn’t take more than an hour for sure, its pretty small.

Would love to have this delightful collection of shops near home! After walking through the outdoor farmer’s market to check out all the wonderful handmade jam/​jellies and fresh fruits and vegetables, check out the two floors of food and specialty shops. There’s a meat market, fish market with areas available for sitting and noshing. I found the prices to be reasonable for the foodstuffs.
Once upstairs follow your nose to Spice Merchants, and don’t miss Fustini’s! I’ve never seen such a selection of olive oils in my life.
Kerrytown Market is a food lovers dream! If you’re in the area you have to make a point of getting here to enjoy the laid back atmosphere.

A little something for everyone here! A great market filled with a beautiful fish counter (they’ll even cook things up for ya while you wait!), another counter housing some tasty yet well priced meats, some produce, cheese, and other dry goods for all your grocery needs. Add that to Spice Merchants for spices, Everyday Wines for booze, and Fustino’s for oil’s and vinegars and you’re all set. Wednesdays and Saturday’s step outside for a visit the Farmer’s Market.
For the home, Found will hook you up with lovely décor and found objects for all those art and craft projects you’ve had bouncing around your head, a couple lovely kids shops housing toys (Mudpuddles) and clothing (Elephant Ears), a lovely paperie and home goods shop (Hollander’s) and other jewelry and clothing stores for perusing as well.
Hungry? Hit the Korean counter inside for some bibimbap or Sweetwater’s for some baked goods and coffee/​tea.
A truly unique and wonderful space that has all the local mall’s beat!

This is a great place to visit if you’re in the area – a really great place – but not necessary a place you should travel a long distance to visit.
In the markets:
— Eve… Ann Arbor’s best restaurant. Pricey, delicious. The chef, Eve, was featured on Top Chef.
— Found… A store of knick-​knacks… candles, decorations, notebooks, jewelry. If you want a fancy little gift for someone, come here.
— Fustini’s… Flavored olive oils and vinegars. Delicious, but you can only get large bottles, and the prices start around $ 15.
— Hollander’s… A three-​level art and kitchen store. Very high end. Come here for handmade artisan papers, boxes of notecards, cookware, tea kettles. In the basement they run a school where you can learn to sew books, etc.
— Monahan’s… BEST fish market in Ann Arbor. Also, sashimi-​grade fish, pre-​prepared meals, recipes, and general fish-​cooking supplies.
— Sparrow Market… BEST meat in Ann Arbor. The rest of the supermarket feels overpriced (though the avocados are a good deal), albeit good.
— Spice Merchants… a local chain. Fantastic! Lots of loose spices and teas to buy by the pound. Some quirky jewelry, peanut butters, and gift boxes.
— Yamato… yummy traditional sushi.
There are also a couple clothing stories, a jewelry store, a salon, a coffee shop, a toy store, a kid’s store, and a Korean fast-​food restaurant.
Plenty of parking when the Farmer’s Market is not going on (so, any time but Saturday and Wednesday mornings). And even then, still a nice amount of parking.

Don’t know that I can add much to what’s already been said; great market with lots of good food. Some of the other shops in the building are a bit overpriced and not my thing (like the shop that sells olive oil in lots of weird flavors… I’d rather just have good quality, buttery olive oil itself). But I did like the women’s clothing store toward the back of the building (found a pair of Lucky jeans for $ 40, which was more than I wanted to spend, but not bad… they had very nice jewelry). Also absolutely fantastic is the farmer’s market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Went here the other night and I must say, I was impressed. I found this place especially interesting for the creative ones. If you are unsure what to get someone, or want to get something you wouldn’t find in a typical store, then you should visit Kerrytown.

Kerrytown is a great place to go shopping for the person who has everything. I love just poking around on a leisurely afternoon and seeing what there is to see. The staff of most of the stores are friendly and helpful, and seem to really like the businesses they work in.
Although I haven’t bought much, as the shops are primarily novelties compared to stuff I actually ‘need,’ it’s still soothing and relaxing to browse, visit and dream for an afternoon.
