Burlingame Fresh Market

Not a large farmer’s market by any standards, but it’s super close to where I live and the produce here is cheaper than Safeway! I stop by most Sundays for produce and can find a good range of veggies & fruits. I’m also a frequent customer of the bakery stall and the Roli Roti rotisserie chicken vendor!

We buy all fruits and vegetables here. Usually, we find everything we need unless we come very late. My favorites are tomato and peach/​plum/​grapes/​tangerine stands. If you come late you can get a good discount on some produce. And quality is so much better than Safeway’s! Some produce is bit pricey, but it worth it!

Go if you are free on Sunday mornings! Support local farmers.
Pros:
1. Produce: there are several stalls where local farmers sell their home/​farm grown produce. Most are not more expensive than supermarkets. We bought a bottle of honey and it tastes super delicious.
2. Food: in addition to produce, they have chutneys, baked goods, and chicken. Some also were selling seafood and organic beef.
Cons:
1. Fresh greens: I was expecting diverse greens such as mustard leaves, turnip leaves, pumpkin shoots, bamboo shoots, etc. I could not find them. May be if I had been there earlier, I would?

TAILGATE SEAFOOD & SHAMPA’S PIES are the two best reasons to come here on Sunday mornings. Sure, there’s also organic veggies, beautiful flowers, fresh breads and the usual kettle corn…
Monkey scored:
AHI & SEA BASS from Tailgate Seafood — Danny will not let you down
PECAN & SWEET POTATO PIES from Shampa’s Pies — Shampa bakes them fresh himself
Skipped the kettle corn for nearby Cryo Cream and some gigantic strawberries. Do drop by when you can to get the best stuff around!

This is always a 2^nd choice if I’m unable to make it to the CSM market on a Saturday.
Far too many arts and crafts vendors and not enough stalls selling fruit and veg. Reminds me of a street fair more than a farmer’s market. Very small selection of produce stands and only 3 or 4 organic.
They say they don’t allow pets but I always see many dogs. Even though they are leashed, it’s on a small narrow street and is simply unsafe. I love dogs but the patrons of this market feel they don’t need to follow the rules and present a hazard to everyone.

This is a review for the Orchid sellers not the farmers market as a whole. We were sold an Orchid with a broken stem and when we walked back to ask them for an exchange they refused to do so. They were very rude and impolite. We will not be buying from them again.

Small and cozy farmers market open during sunday morning. Abundance of organic, fresh tasting veggies and fruits. There was a also a vendor selling fresh bakery items — The Zucchini bread was super tasty. There were also a few vendors selling Middle eastern and Indian fare– hummus, samosas, chutneys and dips.

Really cute farmers market!
Stuff you will find:
organic honey
organic fruits
organic veggies
roast chicken
kettle corn
fresh flowers
locally grown jams
bakery booth (has a bunch of pastries and fresh bread that sell out quickly)
locally caught seafood
arts and crafts
Hummus, samosas, chutneys, sauces, middle eastern food, etc…
Keep in mind, this is not your typical cheap market. The fruits can be pricey since everything is claimed to be «organic».
Full market selection is only on Sundays. Thursday evenings, only half the variety is available.

One of the smallest farmer’s markets I’ve been to recently… but still pretty neat. Aside from the abundance of organic fruits and veggies, they also had a vendor for (let me just relish in this moment) a huge variety of NUT BUTTERS… espresso hazelnut chocolate spread, yes. Really I just came to walk off my breakfast, but I did pick up a bushel of strawberries (3 little plastic totes) for $ 6.50…not a bad deal. They are admittedly overripe though — like if I don’t eat these within a day, they’ll probably be bad… but for now they are as sweet as sugar.

I love this farmers market. Its small but you will find fresh produce, fruits, flowers, break cookies and more.
The sugar cookies from Château Bakery are a must try! They WILL melt in your mouth, i love to have them with some hot ginger milk tea. Overall, this is the perfect neighborhood farmers market.
I almost never write anything so negative about a place but I wanted to mention this unsettling experience I had this morning at the rotisserie place, Roli Roti. I ordered half chicken, the guy started putting it in the little paper tray, thats when i told him, can i get it to-​go thinking that he thinks i am going to eat it here. As soon as I said that, he looked at me strange and said rudely, this is not McDonalds, everything here is to go! One word: R-​U-​D-​E! Sorry for using the word «to-​go» instead of saying, can you put it in a bag for me but you don’t have to be rude about it. Last time i checked, its sort of common sense to be nice to people who are buying stuff from you. Since he brought up McDonalds, i have been to McDonalds many times and had better experiences than I had at Roli Roti. His chicken is good, I’m not going to lie, its a refreshing departure from the sodium laden rotisserie chicken you get at markets. That said, its not like something that is so out of this world that he can sit and be rude and people would still line up for his chicken. I wouldn’t be buying again from him. Period.
I love this farmers market and feel like he violates the sanctity of this happy place :(

This farmer’s market is very small. You can be done with it in about 15 minutes. Nonetheless, you can easily scan for what you need and/​or want and go about your way. The start of it is right by Peets Coffee.

Maybe I’m imagining things, but I’ve noticed a few new vendors at the B-​game Sunday Farmers’ Market. Perhaps they’re trying to step up their game or maybe the 2 – 3 month hiatus did a number on my memory… Either way, I’ve been coming back the last few weekends and am happy with the results.
This time around, I purchased a small carton of raspberries (what I’m told, the last of the season!), as well as some yummy looking squash of various sizes/​shapes/​colors. Can’t wait to roast those bad boys for dinner! Also on the menu this week was a small bag of crispy, fresh green beans. There’s nothing I hate more than waxy beans or strings in my teeth. These were perfect and I’ll be seeking out that vendor again on Sunday.
Is it the largest market in the Peninsula? Nope! Do they have Manresa bread? Sadly, no. BUT it’s worth a visit if you’re in the area on Sundays!

Its mostly sales aand marketing vendors stealing businesss from our Burlingame Stores and NET RESULT is costing our city tax dollars. Its basically a tax on Burlingame residents. The cost to clean the streets and the added polution from the cars stuck in bumper – to-​bumper trafiic attemting to get through the city.
Guys: These vendors do not add to our city from a revenue standpoint. You can buy rhe same exact vegetables from our stores at a fraction of the cost and add tax revenue to Burlingame stores.
If I was Mollie Stones. Burlingame Produce and Safeway, I would set up large tables and bring their Organic fruits and vegetables to sell.
This has to be some brainchild of a government or liberal idiot.

this is a nice alternative to the BIG saturday one at CSM. i missed my perennial trip to CSM yesterday so i decided to visit burlingame instead of belmont today (sunday).
it is definitely a smaller one. the kettle corn guy was there. of course. also there were the other usual suspects: the hummus guy, Ibarra farms, the honey lady, the flower guy, the blueberry guy, rodriguez farms with their amazing strawberries, homemaid raviolis, etc. there was only one stand with asian produce. i went in specific need of bok choy but this farmer’s were already rotting, or maybe just refrigerator burned. if you need asian produce on a sunday go to the belmont one instead.
my vote is still for CSM on saturdays where you have more vendors and quality to choose from but this will do in a pinch.

Love this place :-)
Sunday Brunch at Crepevine is our tradition, and stopping here after is the new tradition.
Favorite is:
Home Maid Ravioli Company
1. Fresh Pasta Sauce (~1wk in the fridge, ~1mo in the freezer)
2. Freshly made pasta
Always stuck up with fresh veggies and fresh fruits.
we shall continue coming here…

I love the farmer’s market. Granted it is a bit pricey compared to Clement Street in SF but that is what you pay for. The pickle guy is amazing, get the spicy ones, well worth it. I think they are JerkNPickle.
I love all the Burlingame folks out with their pets (and puppies). It is a great farmers market. I recommend walking, as parking can be tough.

This farmer’s market is pretty big and very nice. I like to come on Sundays. They close the streets when the market is on. I know it’s better to buy local but I can blow through $ 30 in like 10 mins at this place so I don’t come often. Although with that money, I can get 3 baskets of 100% nature sugary sweet organic strawberries, a couple baskets of really sweet cherry tomatoes, and a couple pounds of nectarines, peaches, in both white and yellow.
My favorite vendor is a jewelry designer named Peggy Li. She is here at the market and has a great selection of cool jewelry. Go check her out or online at
.
As I’ve frequented this market more, I always get my free sample of kettle corn cause it’s awesome. There are a couple seafood vendors here, fresh and smoked. There’s the roli roti rotisserie chicken guy who is super nice and makes a mean roasted chicken with potatoes, pig knuckles, and also sells chicken broth. You can smell this down the street and the line is always long so come early so you aren’t left out of the yummy juicy chicken goodness. There is also a bee booth that I enjoy, you see different bee keepers here because they share the booth with their co-​op but the honey is always local, fresh, flavorful, and some even have small super cute plastic honey bear sizes, so cute!
There’s the Lazy H Ranch farm fresh eggs and if you get there early enough, you can ever get the blue eggs. There’s a handmade pasta booth called Mattarello which makes the most beautiful fresh pasta. These are just some of the wonderful vendors at the Burlingame Fresh Market on Sundays. If you’ve been reading Michael Pollen, Alice Waters, watching Food Network or want to remember what a fresh strawberry or tomato tastes like, bring some cash and come down to this market to support our local vendors and get some fresh food. Bring your shopping bags, too.

Caramel corn, garlic fries, shaved ice drinks, bratbursts, Widmer beer, corn dogs, and every kind of vendor you can imagine… all on sun-​drenched Burlingame Ave.
It’s a family-​friendly (and animal-​friendly) event. There is a whole section for kids with face painting and kid-​friendly rides (even for toddlers). Lots of folks bring their fashionably-​dressed tiny pooches for a stroll along the farmer’s market to visit one of the many pet supply vendors.
I also saw an area with live performances and tables (with shady umbrellas) where you can take a break or eat your food. And compared to SF, parking is not that difficult — just be prepared to circle around the area for a bit.
Bring your appetite, your wallet, and some sunscreen!

I love Farmers Markets. I’m a little undecided on this place. Not much of a variety, but at the same time I love that there wasn’t crowds of people. I’d go here if I was in the neighborhood, but wouldn’t make a trip out of it.
Maybe about 4 booths of fruits and veggies, of course, yummy kettlecorn, pretty orchids, fresh baked goods. For the food truck fans, Roli Roti and El Porteno Empanada’s (sold at Kung Fu Tacos) are sold here as well.
