Elena HoffmanMarch 20, 2017Love El Porteño for some good empanadas and hit up some of the other vendors for unique deserts.
Gururas KhalsaSeptember 28, 2015Its a mall with historic finished and swank retail + a few local cart vendors with good looking by wares. tip: go to the smaller local places if you go.
Purchase artisanal products here. There are plenty of eateries, so I recommend planning to have lunch here.
Jerry LucasJune 14, 2015Amazing variety of many types of stores. The G.L Alfieri Organic store has very good fruit smoothies.
Alden CatesJanuary 2, 2020I went on a holiday Friday...huge mistake! Extremely crowded and felt like walking through a mall full of carts with junk for sale. Go in, get ice cream, and leave!- Bubbles UtoniumFebruary 22, 2015Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday come and explore all the wonderful food and produce booths! So many great things to choose from.

DinnidinMarch 18, 2016Good market & oysters for $2 each served on a plastic plate like oysters are not a big deal, right? 👍👍👍
SCHARFFEN BERGERMay 11, 2012The Ferry Building is a San Francisco landmark and we love being a part of the local marketplace. Don’t forget to stop by the SCHARFFEN BERGER store and grab a treat!
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012Among the best gourmet offerings? Divine chocolate sablées at Miette Patisserie, fresh-baked sourdough levain from Acme Bread, and Mt. Tam triple-cream cheese at Cowgirl Creamery.
ViajandolavidalocaMarch 17, 2017So many food options. Great marketplace! Wish they catered a bit more to vegan eaters but was overall happy with the selection.
The Ritz-CarltonJune 18, 2011The Ferry Building is a shrine to all things food. Unbelievable seafood? Check. Delectable organic cuisine? Naturally. Best coffee beans known to man? Of course. Just three words: explore, buy, enjoy.- Brian SunterNovember 10, 2019Cool place to walk around. Neat California shops and farmers market. Gotts,slanted door, and hog island are excellent
Laurie DalzellJune 14, 2015I just love the ferry building. From the Juicery to the Farm market grocery and everything in between. Best place to hang while waiting for my ferry any day of the week.- Fodor's TravelJanuary 28, 2016Today, the Ferry Building is a vibrant destination filled with local purveyors of everything from cheese and chocolate to coffee and cookware.

Jeffrey-Ryan B.November 2, 2013If visiting SF you should take in the old and historic ferry building! While at it take an evening bay dinner cruise on a nice night in summer!
Secil SansevenJuly 7, 2016One of my best visits in Sf. You can find many good restaurants and organic food shops as well as nice view.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010The Ferry Building is very popular, and I recommend it to anyone who is visiting San Francisco. They've got great restaurants (Slanted Door, MarketBar) and a morning farmer's market a few times a week
Dennis HsuJanuary 15, 2018Filled with cool shops and restaurants. If you have a few hours, take a ferry over to Sausalito and grab lunch by the water.
DanaJuly 18, 2015Awesome (if a little pricy) market inside, and ferry rides out the back. Worth going on Saturday for the farmer's market.
Jennifer EvansFebruary 16, 2015So beautiful with tons of great food including oysters, wine, cheeses, mushrooms, tea...name it they have it!
Not the cheapest place to shop, but you're going to find amazing products at every turn... most of them local. Grab some food, wander around, and inevitably run into someone you know.
Soojee HahnNovember 16, 2015Cowgirl creamery, Heath Ceramics, to name a few... Everything upscale grocery related can be had in this lovely building
Cathryn HrudickaMarch 13, 2014San Francisco's traditional Ferry Building at the foot of Market Street has been expanded into a wonderful foodie marketplace with restaurants & shops, outdoor patios and a view! Great meeting sites.
The Corcoran GroupJune 19, 2011There’s something for everyone at this food lover’s heaven. Try and come on a day when the farmer’s market is open – Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
EceJanuary 10, 2016This building feels great, beyond my expectations! There are many local small shops to choose from!
Laura CNovember 17, 2011This gorgeous building right on the Embarcadero houses some of SF’s most notable food merchants including Hog Island Oyster Company, Cowgirl Creamery’s Artisan Cheese Shop, Bluebottle coffee, etc.
Carol CecilJune 13, 2014Tons of places to eat and not enough time! I love the fish tacos from Gott's as well as the ahi tuna burgers.
Lots of specialized shops, including cheese, oils, fish, deli and others. Every Saturday is a farmers market
Zach WeinsteinFebruary 16, 2019The best farmers market in SF. Arrive at 8am on a Saturday to see the whole scene. Excellent food stalls
Bennett W WongMarch 24, 2016Need a cup of coffee for that caffeine fix? Blue Bottle Coffee got you covered! Purchasing locally grown fruits and vegetables? The Farmer's Market is your answer!
المهره الصعبه ماهي لأي خيالSeptember 8, 2016Nice block to have a great meal, nice coffee, ice cream or just to walk around 😍
ShinaNovember 29, 2014If the blue bottle coffee line is scary, walk a bit further and you'll find a Peet's or go outside and there is a Starbucks as well.
Thê-Minh TrinhSeptember 3, 2014This lovely building houses both a ferry station and a marketplace where you can buy all the healthy and tasty food you want
Esty ZolotnitskyMarch 15, 2016So many options inside the ferry building. They also have farmers market on Monday and Thursday I believe :)- DAN COXAugust 23, 2011Even if you hate being surrounded by Tourists, you'll hate them less here, as you dine in some of SF's greatest restaurants, slurp down oysters, and sip a glass of vino! Foodie Heaven!
Stuart RobinsonJanuary 26, 2015One of my favourite places to chill in San Francisco - buy a book from the Book Passage then grab a bite to eat & a glass of wine - heaven!
One of my favorite places in SF. The view and cuisine makes me happy
Kaitlin LeeMay 30, 2015lots of fun places and eateries! including humphrey and slocombe! its pricey but then again its california :)
Blayne DouglasSeptember 29, 2010I really love the Ferry Building. In one stop I've visited my fish monger, favorite cheese shop, favorite cooking spice store and Godiva chocolate... so many other flower, coffee, restaurant, special
Great farmers market and selection of shops! Bee Kind honey has amazing honey. There'd good empanadas over at El Porteno.
Tina DSeptember 4, 2015Empanadas from El Porteño hit the spot, Cowgirl Creamery makes amazing grilled cheese, green milk tea with boba from Out The Door is the best.
A great way to go to Jack London Square. There are many great dining options to enjoy in the neighborhood.
Joe GApril 5, 2014If you come here and don't try Blue Bottle Coffee, Humphrey Slocombe ice cream or Boccalone meats you are doing it wrong.
Francois BrSeptember 6, 2014Very nice place for foods for thoughts also! Visit the lovely bookstore "Book passage"
- Frank DieboldAugust 22, 2014Can find pretty much everything here, from blue bottle coffee to oysters. As one would expect, busiest at lunch hours
The new seating inside the ferry building is really nice, but extremely chemically covered and strongly off-gassing. Very offensive to the nostrils.
