Pipkin’s Fruit & Vegetable Market

Pipkins does a great job of selling local fruits and vegetables when available. It’s great to see a small local business who cares about its community. They donate all bruised produce to multiple churches and all old produce is donated to a local hog farm.

I still love Pipkin’s! FYI their summer hours are until 7:00 PM on weekdays. They have pastas in the frig, and they are delicious! So you really can stop here and get all you need for dinner. Pasta, sauce, salad greens/​veggie, bread from local bakeries, and you’re all set!

This place is awesome. I bought some plants and was inspired to do a fairy garden by their large assortment of miniature plants. The staff is very helpful as well.

I live near this great produce market. Pipkin’s is filled with delicious local hand-​selected fruits & veggies, in a relaxed and friendly family type atmosphere. I especially love their fresh spinach, but my all time favorites as a citrus lover is their heirloom California oranges and #1 is Minneolas aka tangelos.

Pipkin’s has been here for years! Picture whole foods before whole foods was ever around. It has a great local family feel to it. You always feel welcomed walking into the place.
Best during Spring, Summer, and Fall. If you are in walking distance to this place make a fun half day trip to it because it’s a nice little place to walk to.
Sidewalks all the way there on both sides of the road.

Pipkin’s had a fresh supply of high quality green beans for our Thanksgiving dinner. My mom was very pleased.

Summer, winter, spring, fall, this is the place for fruit, vegetables, and pantry items. And the staff is friendly and helpful.

Very fresh selection of produce that tastes better. A nice place to pick up some bread and some gourmet items for a gift. I regularly buy Seven Hills coffee here, which is excellent.

Honestly the best produce in cincinnati. The staff is extremely friendly and outgoing for customers. Wonderful flower selections in the spring and summer with knowledgeable employees equipped to answer any questions.

I had high hopes for Pipkins. I stopped in here a few weeks ago after months of wanting to check out the hype. Boy, was I disappointed that I wasted my gas to get here. Compare to other fruit markets, I really did not think that there was that great of a selection. Some of the produce even had mold growing on it.
Also, the prices were not that great. I would pick Findlay Market or even Country Fresh Fruit Market in Anderson over Pipkins.

I have always loved coming to Pipkin’s! Such a quaint little shop in Blue Ash… Having grown up near Pipkin’s I would always get a chance to stop in as kid. Now I bring my children here… I’m glad to see such a nice little shop around that long!

I used to work here in high school.
Every fruit, vegetable, etc is evaluated before being put out to buy. Example: if working in the strawberry section you had to take apart each carton of strawberries and place them in a different carton making sure to discard any bad strawberries before putting them out for sale.
In the summer they grow their own basil and package it for sale. They also buy from local farmers (ie, corn, strawberries)
High quality place, worth the additional cost

passing by pipkin’s you wouldn’t expect it to be like this. All you see outside is garden and planting supplies which are great! but my main interest was the inside. it’s not a big place but it has things you don’t expect to find at such place like the bulk bulgur (coarse and fine) rice (long grain and basmati)… many types of hummus other than what you usually find at kroger’s!
now talking about the vegetables and fruits there, they look so fresh and they’re reasonably priced. I went there asking for figs since I love them but I hardly ever find places that sell them in Cincinnati. and they told me they had some figs earlier that week but they sold out quickly but they will be bringing some soon. so they offered me to leave my name and number and they will give me a call once they have them. how awesome is that!
I also found a big bag of fresh basil for $ 1 and a small container of sun dried tomatoes for only $ 2.60
I really loved this place and I’ll definitely be back I only wish they have other branch that opens year round closer to Hydepark where I live!

I’m so lucky to have Pipkin’s around the corner from work because I can easily bop in there on my way home. While I absolutely love their fruits and vegetables, my favorite thing about Pipkin’s is their nursery. Pipkin’s is my go-​to for flowers for my yard as well as herbs and vegetables for my garden. The things I buy at Pipkin’s always grow well — the quality is unbeatable! After buying plants I always head into the market for soem delicious fresh fruit and vegetables. One of my favorite things about PIpkin’s is that they try to get local produce whenever possible. And when they do get it — they’ll post it on a sign out front!

I discovered pipkins by accident but boy, was it a happy accident. In a city populated by Kroger, it is nice to know there is a great market like pipkins. On my first trip I bought 2 Roma tomatoes. 3 juicing oranges, 1 ear of corn, 5 peaches & a caramel .I spent less than $ 6!!! I can’t wait to return.

Pipkins has a farmer’s market feel with a full selection. produce is high quality and affordable. i would shop here for everything if they carried meats!

Fresh, friendly, affordable. Healthy atmosphere. Madisano’s gelato! (and sorbetto) Garden fresh herbs by the bundle, local coffee. Neighborhood feel.
They have plants and other gardening needs outside as well.

Pipkin’s had always successfully convinced me that it was a garden store. It does a pretty good job of this given all the pots, plants and gardening paraphernalia in view as you drive down Cooper Rd.
Then I started hearing things… crazy things… local produce! Shadeau Breads! Madisono’s Gelato! I must go to there.
Oh, Pipkin’s. Why did it take me so long to find you?
I got everything I was promised and then some. There are seemingly endless varieties of hard-​to-​find ingredients… tahini, white balsamic and other vinegars, medjool dates available in bulk, organic salsas just to name a few. I also found Shadeau bread (deliveries come in around 11 am), Ferrari’s cheese bread, and other local favorites like Clearbrook Farms preserves, Madisono’s Gelato and tons of produce.
And the produce! First-​crop-​of-​Spring Asparagus was available on my most recent visit. I also got some sunchokes and baby artichokes. They make a point to list where the produce is grown and the seasons when it’s available. Don’t miss the herbs & spice cooler. I got 2 vanilla beans for $ 1.29… I don’t know if they’re Madagascan, but since they were $ 10 less than what I paid for vanilla beans last time, I don’t care.
I can’t wait to head back and find some more seasonal favorites. I noticed a ‘suggestion box’ around the produce area… I probably won’t hesitate to turn in a few requests.

Pipkin’s is great! This place is the cutest, and most humble market in town. Open year round, there’s always great produce. My favorite part is the «Pip’s Pix» chalkboard that has daily recommendations from the owners. It’s a great way to enjoy what’s in season. I also love how friendly and knowledgeable the employees are, even the high school students!

Pipkin’s Fruit and Vegetable Market in Blue Ash is one of my favorite places in the area. Unlike anything I’ve really seen, especially for its small size, Pipkin’s has all of your fruit and veggie favorites, and many more you’ve probably never heard of. Honestly, what are Jicamas and Escarole, and what’s the difference between Chayote Squash and «normal» squash?
The fruit and vegetables at Pipkin’s are always fresh and of the highest quality, but unfortunately there were no fruit samples during my most recent visit. Pipkin’s also has a variety of breads and organic foods, a small selection of gourmet foods, chocolates, and a bit of your everyday grocery items.
This old-​fashioned market is always busy and is open year-​round, but it is not limited to just fruit and vegetables. On the market’s exterior are various decorative items such as pottery, wind chimes, a few plants, and some more food items like melons. On the other side of the parking lot, meanwhile, is its Garden Center, filled with – you guessed it – plants and flowers.
If it weren’t for the high gas prices, I’d call Pipkin’s a must visit for everyone in the Greater Cincinnati area, but instead I’ll just recommend it for the people that can make it there without giving up an arm and a leg.
