Wildwood Market

Coming here feels like getting a hug. The staff are so warm and go out of their way to take care of you. It’s great to have easy access to local products from all over the state. Their prepared food options, which change daily, are creative and delicious — I’m especially a fan of the hot chocolate made with chocolate milk from Trader’s Point Creamery!

Love this sweet little place! What a Fabulous, yes with a capital «F» reuse! Speaking of F– lovely FOOD on offer here. Their instagram FEED will have you drooling on yourself, pretty much every day. Perfect for takeaway, not as much for on site, since the seating (especially in winter) is very limited. But LOVE the local, FRESH, organic and FUN offerings. Pop in here if you’re having FRIENDS over for dinner, because the cheeses and gourmet side nibbles will wow your crowd. LOVE it!

WOW! WOW! WOW!
Just like everyone else I am in absolute love with Wildwood Market. I love walking around the small grocery areas inside what appears to be a renovated garage, I love checking out the local produce, but I especially love their daily soups and sandwiches. Thanks to them, my last two lunches have been a salad of local baby kale, herbed quinoa, pickled shallots, gorgonzola, glazed pecans, with creamy persimmon sage dressing and a delicious Smoking Goose Meatery City Ham w/​jalapeño cherry Batch No. 2 mostarda, parmesan and creamy honey basil slaw sandwich on ciabatta (and yes, I’m stealing these descriptions from Wildwood’s super-​useful social media accounts where they post the daily selections — you gotta stay on top of these things). Commitment to local foods and top-​notch ingredients means a lot more to me when the food is as crazy good as it is there.
The only downside is that they do run out. The daily salads and sandwiches are premade and when they’re gone for the day they are gone for the day (just ask anyone who got there after me today how that feels — I snagged up the last sammie). If you don’t want to miss out, I believe they’ll hold something for you if you call in or make a social media request.
EDIT: I totally forgot to mention how reasonable the prices are. $ 6 for my salad and $ 8 for my sandwich. Completely fair prices that actually beat a lot of the comparable lunch options.

This is a great spot for purchasing local goodies. I have yet to be disappointed by anything I’ve purchased. It’s a little pricey sometimes for their cheeses, but I would still say it is worth it because they do carry unusual & top notch varieties. My husband loves the locally roasted coffees & b happy peanut butter. The staff are always friendly!

I want to live here, is that wrong? Anything I get fresh from the counter is always above my expectations. I trust the crew here implicitly and get whatever the sandwich of the day happens to be.
Today’s was a Canadian bacon and roasted turkey concoction with egg and siracha mayo on sourdough. I mean, can I get a what-​what?
The meats are from Goose the Market. Just superb. And the dressings they whip up are always absolutely genius. I have seen someone ask if they can purchase some — it’s off menu, but they’ll whip up a small batch for you to take home at a reasonable cost.
I also love that they sell La Croix (sparking water) by the can! Great healthy beverage to go with lunch.
Perusing Wildwood is so fun, and I need to get back there soon to stock up on Tulip Tree Creamery buffer and Broadripple Chip Co. chips!

They have all the good stuff! Broad Ripple Potato Chips, B Happy peanut butter, 3-​Birds bakery, Circle City Sweets, and on and on and on. The vibe is great too, with a fresh open atmosphere. The space is very small but packs a deceivingly large inventory of different brands and niche products. Very specialized and high quality products, zero pretension.
Go here to explore products that are novel and high quality.

The best of local, hard to find and quirky groceries can be found here! Absolutely love this place and all of the fresh offerings.
The staff is very helpful and energetic especially Martine, she’s really hip and cool.
Stop in and check them out, you’ll enjoy it!

Went here for lunch on a Monday. The sandwich of the day was prosciutto, provolone, pesto, dried cranberries, balsamic glaze and romaine on Sourdough. Delicious, fresh, and filling. Follow them on Instagram, and they’ll post their daily soup/​sandwich/​salad, and every day looks incredible. Reasonably priced, and they have picnic tables outside in the sun. Great spot away from the standard dt indy lunch go-to’s.

Fantastic local market with unique and amazing sandwiches and salads of the day! Follow them on Instagram @wildwoodmarket to see what they are serving up each day. You will not be disappointed! The photos are enough to have you salivating.

I really love Wildwood Market. As many others have already said, it’s a local shoppers dream. In fact, we’ve come here before to buy products to stock an Indiana gift basket for someone! The only downfall is that it is really, really expensive. This is to be expected for a specialty market, but man, the price at the cash register sometimes takes my breath away and makes me look out the window to check if I’ve been transported to the far north side. Despite the expense, I keep coming back because I’m hooked.
One of the absolute stars at Wildwood is the $ 10 cheese plate. This offering in particular is an amazing value (4 – 5 cheeses, easily enough for two people to make a meal out of it!). You can trust a cheese expert to choose the options for you, or you can build your own. The cheese selection is outstanding. It’s accompanied by fun crackers or bread, and there’s an additional charcuterie option if you want. Other faves from the market include B. Happy peanut butter, Beecher’s mac and cheese, Just Pop In! popcorn, Amelia’s bread, $ 1 sunflowers, the beautiful daily sandwiches, and all types of fun sauces and jams.
One last thing that I love about Wildwood is their involvement with the community. I really respect what they’ve done for Fountain Square. They are engaged and conscientious business people!

Who am I kidding? I should’ve just given Wildwood 5 stars the first time I reviewed them (less than a week ago, mind you.) After such a successful Unilocal Ten Minute Talks event at Wildwood, I decided to venture back to see what it’s like during the day and get my hands on one of their popular sammies of the day that Unilocalers love. Helpful hint: follow them on Facebook and Instagram — they post the sammie/​soup/​salad of the day during the 11 o’clock hour each day!
Ample parking makes it a quick in and out without dealing with the hassle of street parking and meters. This visit, I got the sandwich of the day: roast beef, Hooks horseradish cheddar cheese, Batch No. 2 mustard, local tomato, dill potato slaw and arugula on sourdough. For $ 8, you get a MONSTER of a fresh, local sammie — we’re talking elbows on the table and multiple napkins. When I first got my sammie (all wrapped up in brown paper with a free chocolate square!) and opened it, I thought «there’s no way this is fitting in my mouth.»
The sandwich itself took 20 minutes to get, which was longer than usual because the guy who rang up my order forgot to tell the sandwich-​making lady that I had ordered one. Oops. The sandwich was messy and good, but I didn’t find any roast beef on it? I searched through the layers. No carne :(Also, the horseradish and mustard had a kick to it that made it a tad too spicy for my wimpy palette. Mentally giving Wildwood 4.5 stars for the miscommunication and missing meat.
Wildwood is a popular lunch option for people grabbing lunch, but you can also sit in the bar stool area and look out the window at the world. I’d say there are about 10 seats indoors, and some picnic tables outdoors. Perfect place to get lunch and stay there to eat!
Before ordering my sammie, I browsed and did some shopping. Holy guacamole, they’ve got local businesses represented! Simplicity Juice, Traders Point Creamery, Wildflower Ridge Honey, Pure & Good, Batch No. 2, B. Happy, Just Pop In… the list goes on. Great place to do double whammy lunch & shopping!
You keep doing you, Wildwood. I’ll be back for another sandwich of the day, and hopefully I’ll get it faster next time.

Cute place! I honestly wasn’t sure where this place was located at until strolling around Fountain Square after a Unilocal event. No wonder– it’s not immediately off Virginia and doesn’t even look like a market! That makes it a unique little store. I made sure to read reviews beforehand and was luckily hungry, so I ordered the sammich of the day. A little pricier than I’d expected [more than a Panera, etc] but since the ingredients are local, it’s well-​worth.
Before chowing down I made sure to go peruse each aisle to get a feel for their offerings. A LOT [almost all] of local/​unique eats & drinks — perfect for a picnic on a beautiful summer day. Truly what Fountain Square needs!

The revival of the local neighborhood market is one of my favorite food trends in Indy right now. Every neighborhood needs one. Further, every neighborhood community should support what’s made right here in Indianapolis, not only because it would help our local economy, but also our food artisans make some phenomenal fresh stuff… okay, I’m off my soapbox now. Onward with my rave for Wildwood:
Wildwood sets a high standard with their selections from the locally-​sourced to-​go sandwich of the day (follow them on Instagram to see/​drool over what they’re selling every day) to products from local purveyors (i.e. B. Happy Peanut Butter, Nicole-Taylor’s Pastas, U-​Relish, Broad Ripple Potato Chip, Fermenti Artisan, Tulip Tree) to the fresh cut flowers and succulents to locally-​made pastries (i.e. Circle City Sweets, Lattice & Lard) to the owners’ favorite products to your standard fresh produce. Everything on the shelves is hand-​picked, and – seeing what’s there – I trust my options.
During my visit, I grabbed the sandwich of the day (roast beef, daikon radish slaw, lan chi chili aioli and cilantro on Amelia’s bread), an orange, and a blueberry-​peach-​ginger pie from Lattice & Lard. I couldn’t have been happier with my choices. Added bonus: after the two purchases I made I received a small chocolate from Endangered Species… huzzah!
There’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be back again!

Having several hours to kill in between classes I thought I would mosey in here for a bite to eat. My mouth had been watering for weeks over fellow Unilocalers sandwich photos. If those photos aren’t enough to make you drool Wildwood posts their sandwich of the day on twitter and facebook to woo you. The hype was strong and this sandwich did not disappoint. PS. I usually never order a sandwich, it’s typically not my meal preference. This sandwich was da bomb! For $ 8 I had a locally sourced sandwich that could easily be split between two people. Layers of shaved Smoking Goose Ham, bold Beehive Big John Cajun Cheese, an amazing homemade spicy mustard sauce (I would buy vats of this sauce) were perfectly presented between slices of thick rustic Amelia’s bread. Compliments to the chef, delizioso! In the future I would share that sandwich with a friend and pair it with a Circle City Soup.
It was also nice to do a little one stop shopping. Here I was able to gather all of my favorite local products in one spot (what a huge time saver!): B. Happy Peanut Butter, Broad Ripple Chip Company sweet potato chips, U Relish crock pot meals, Liberation Coffee Roasters coffee, Just Pop In popcorn, Amelia’s bread, Tulip Tree Cheeses, Smoking Goose bacon, Traders Point Milk, Farm Fresh Eggs, etc. Combine items with some of their fresh produce and your ready to make a gourmet dinner. Meal recommendations can even be found on the chalkboard when you enter the shop.
There isn’t another location in Indy where you can purchase all of these local products under one roof! This is a wonderful gem of a mini gourmet convenience market featuring quality products, lots of locally sourced goodies, a nice place to stop and imagine what gourmet meal you will plan next.

I discovered this place thanks to the reviews and check-​ins from our fabulous community manager: Brittany. So, when my wife and I decided to stay in for Valentine’s day, I immediately added this place to my plans for our dinner.
I stopped by after work on a Friday to pickup the cheese plate for 2 for $ 10. A quick recap of my experience will help you navigate your experience to this cozy local establishment.
First, its very difficult to find. I recommend looking at the Unilocal pictures of the store front before you drive down Virginia looking for it. I had to park and walk down the street looking at the addresses to find it. Once there, I checked in on Unilocal to discover a 10% off discount.
I walked in and was immediately greeted by the staff. I told them what I wanted and they explained that they typically select 4 cheeses and build the box (since I was getting it to go). They actually had a valentine’s cheese selection setup and you got a flyer describing each cheese. The cheese comes with a small amount of crackers, so I elected to add a fresh baguette. When I picked up the baguette, they offered to slice it for me.
The time came to pay (about a total of 5 minutes later). 4 kinds of tasty cheese, crackers, dried cherries, pecans, and a baguette –10% Unilocal check in deal came to a whopping $ 12.50! Yes, $ 12.50. I would have expected that price for the baguette and the amount of Mt. Tam cheese we got.
Its quite the deal and an amazing way to try new cheeses. Figure out where it is and get there now before the prices go up!

The local products scene is getting crowded… and quick. A few farmers markets, Green Bean Delivery, R2Go, Goose the Market… am I missing some? But I say more the merrier. I love Indy. I love local. I just hope that demand keeps up with supply.
So I obviously jumped on Wildwood to see what they offer. I went today. Seemed perfect. I could grab a bite and enjoy people watching in Fountain Square while I ate (it’s a balmy 50 degrees outside… HEATWAVE!).
First off, thank you for the ample parking. Few places have this downtown. Such a luxury!
I walk in and am immediately greeted by a display of the most beautiful cheery flowers designed by Meg Catherine. So chic! I couldn’t see a price though, otherwise would have bought a bouquet. Behind the flowers are racks of dried and boxed food goods and a freezer with local things such as eggs, dairy, large meat items, and butter. There is a large room to the left with produce. Not much of a selection… but it’s Winter in Indiana. I remember some apples and bibb lettuce. They had the sweetest looking blueberry/​basil pies from Circle City Sweets — $ 4.95. There’s also a small deli counter.
Wildwood is on Instagram. I started following a few weeks ago and today they posted a sandwich that looked so yummers. It was Goose’s smoked turkey, swiss cheese, cranberry pecan cream cheese (spicy), cherries in soy sauce, red sorrel and arugula on bread from Amelia’s. So this was my second reason for visiting today.
I approach the counter and ask to see a menu. No menu!!! NO MENU? Ok, I am confused. This is not like Goose the Market. The counter lady pointed to another lady making sandwiches. She says ‘This is what we are offering.’. She describes the sandwich and I think, ‘Not nearly as great sounding as that turkey one on IG, but f*ck it. I’m already here. It’s 2pm and I’m hungry.”. So, no menu? They just make a batch of sandies and that’s it?
I was going to eat there, but there are literally only five seats in the entire place… all taken. Word is there will be outdoor seating when warm weather returns. Dear goodness, I hope so. Those five seats are gonna kill this place if they want to serve batched sandwiches for $ 8.
My sandwich was tasty. See my picture for description.
Another bit of confusion. I picked up bacon from Iowa. Iowa is local? Not sure I’m cool with Iowa competing with my Goose the Market bacon.
The décor is adorable I must say. Reminds me of Locally Grown Gardens, but smaller, and without menus…
Super stoked FS has something like this now, and I’m willing to change my review rating when the following things happen:
1. An list of produce they are currently offering is posted on their website, IG, or somewhere else on the interwebs. This isn’t Marsh. You can’t expect ramps to be available year-​round. Could save some phone calling/​answering.
2. More seating indoors… somehow, please. The large windows make this a perfect people watching spot. I would stay and eat more!
3. Someone tells me how much those adorable bouquets are.
May my comments only be constructive and I urge all people in Indy to check this place out. You might see something really cool made in Indiana that you will take home for dinner.

Alert the media! $ 10 cheese boards with 4+ cheeses and 4 accoutrements — nuts, olives, truffle bread and dried apricots!
My new go-​to for dinner parties!

It was a dreary and rainy day when I first noticed Wildwood Market, and needing an escape from the weather, we popped in to see what new market had opened up in Fountain Square. My first thought was that Locally Grown Garden had opened a second location. This was quickly erased when I came inside.
Walking inside I’m reminded of the rustic feel from Locally Grown Garden. Tons of frozen and refrigerated items as well as several shelves of canned and pantry items. Most, if not all, are local. I snagged a mini blueberry basil pie made by people in the neighborhood and can’t wait to get back and grab another one (or three).
As the season warms up, I can see Wildwood getting really busy and would love to see more sandwich and perhaps dessert options. This would be a great place to sit sipping an espresso and having dessert while picking up items for tomorrow’s cooking.
Welcome to Fountain Square, Wildwood Market. I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other!

So I love this place. They pretty much had me at hello. A place that successfully spotlights local goodies is always a winner in my book. Similar to Milk tooth, this place is a refurbished auto mechanic shop. It is such a warm and inviting place. It immediately puts a smile on your face. I love the painted tree on the window. Once you enter there are fresh flowers on the tables. Such a pleasant touch.
I enjoyed just exploring this store seeing what goodies they had in store. They have frozen foods and meats as well as freshly baked pies, locally made snacks, condiments, assortment of cheeses, veggies, and so much more. You seriously have to just come in, take some time, and explore.
Be sure to follow then on social media. They generally post a sandwich of the day. Yum! Can’t wait to try one during my next visit. Also if you bring your own bag, you get a piece of delicious local chocolate. Sounds like a win-​win to me.

A new show has come into the Square! It’s got all sorts of goodies and fun stuff to blow your foodie mind away. it is a bit pricey but there were some fun finds on our first trip.
We walked in to a lovely store that had a rustic appeal but was very cleaned up from being an old car lot. it’s beget than being vacant! I was intrigued by the unique design on the wall which is a tree. cool. They have a seating nook like in a coffee shop. Next wad a small frozen foods section that included may and dairy with some interesting things like quail eggs! They were expensive but unique. they had a small food section.
Most food is a bit pricey but everything is from the Midwest or local… like down the street. Yes they have Ameila’s bread! So glad I don’t have to walk the extra half mile. Whew. They also carried Smoking Goose and Fischer Farms products which is nice. It looks like they will be having coffee and sandwiches? Wasn’t entirely sure but it seems to be that way. I will definitely keep stopping by for fun finds and it’s most def a place to grav a foodie gift for your friend in the food porn industry!
