Jason SuMay 22, 2011Amazing food stores and farmer's markets. Price range varies. Ranges from oysters, cured pork, desserts, and hot dogs, you can find something for anyone. Closes early.
Reems is awesome, ___ bloosom has great citrus, eggs are also good from another vendor.
Daniel StansellApril 24, 2017Full of great places - get Secret Breakfast at Humphry Slocombe, drinks at Slanted Door, and a great burger and cheap beer bucket at Gott's Roadside.
Grad a snack, booze or coffee then head to benches behind the building on the bat. Great shops in a beautiful building.

Carmine GalloApril 17, 2011Just gave the presentation of your life? You deserve to relax at this unique SF experience. Wonderful restaurants, wine, tea, desserts, and specialty shops. See view from Ferry Plaza Seafood.
Al B.March 26, 2016Definitely check out this place on Saturdays for the weekly farmer's market that gathers all farmers around the bay.
If you are commuting by ferry and in a hurry, don't go inside. Lots of great shops and lots of people.

Lianda den HartogMarch 8, 2019On a good day when it's sunny outside you can watch people come in from the ferries.
m dOctober 24, 2015I like to hang around here and grab some sandwich and ice cream. Also there are goodies shops.- Caio TurbianiJune 30, 2016Food court is nice but expensive. There's also a farmer's market with some tents selling steet food on Saturdays and Sundays.

Lani TeshimaNovember 1, 2011An absolute madhouse on Saturdays when the farmer's market is happening. Go then if you thrive on the hustle/bustle. Otherwise, go during the week when it's less hectic.
