Great place to peruse local eateries, take in sights of the bay, check out the farmers market, catch a ferry, grab a cocktail, meet friends, and bring family.

I was surprised at how big the farmers market actually is!! I loved the whole "Support your local farmers" scene <3

My favorite lunch in the city is a wheel of Mt. Tam or Red Hawk cheese from Cowgirl Creamery and an onion slab or baguette from Acme Bread Co.

What a great area! I went back constantly! Awesome shops etc. They need to keep the homeless skaters out of the building after hrs to preserve the special place.
Tina DSeptember 4, 2015
Empanadas from El Porteño hit the spot, Cowgirl Creamery makes amazing grilled cheese, green milk tea with boba from Out The Door is the best.
Ina LiMarch 20, 2015
Great selection of local produce. Make sure to get some olive oil and spices from Stone House!

Need 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!
Dennis HsuJanuary 15, 2018
Filled with cool shops and restaurants. If you have a few hours, take a ferry over to Sausalito and grab lunch by the water.
Elena HoffmanMarch 20, 2017
Love El Porteño for some good empanadas and hit up some of the other vendors for unique deserts.

Reminds me of Quincy market. Basically a large indoor farmers market with permanent vendors and higher prices. Great place to bring out of town guests.

One of my best visits in Sf. You can find many good restaurants and organic food shops as well as nice view.

Amazing variety of many types of stores. The G.L Alfieri Organic store has very good fruit smoothies.

One 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!

Its 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.
Bubbles UtoniumFebruary 22, 2015
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday come and explore all the wonderful food and produce booths! So many great things to choose from.

If 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!

This lovely building houses both a ferry station and a marketplace where you can buy all the healthy and tasty food you want

Grab a Blue Bottle coffee, some Cowgirl cheese, Boccalone meats, Acme bread, and sweets from Miette. The Saturday farmers’ market is stellar. - Green Guide Editor

Full 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.

Amazing farmers market on Saturday plus awesome food stands inside ferry building. A must visit any time of the week.
Jennifer EvansFebruary 16, 2015
So beautiful with tons of great food including oysters, wine, cheeses, mushrooms, tea...name it they have it!

Eat everything worry about everything else later. Try not to blow all your money on fancy cookware & books
SCHARFFEN BERGERMay 11, 2012
The 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!

So many food options. Great marketplace! Wish they catered a bit more to vegan eaters but was overall happy with the selection.
BravoJanuary 27, 2010
The 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
Blayne DouglasSeptember 29, 2010
I 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

Tacos with scenic views, and as a recommendation from a San Fran local and didn't disappoint
Corners TavernJanuary 26, 2015
A Chef's dream! Cowgirl Creamery, Far West Fungi, ACME... the list goes on and on. If you love to cook, you will be nothing short of obsessed with this magical place.
DanaJuly 18, 2015
Awesome (if a little pricy) market inside, and ferry rides out the back. Worth going on Saturday for the farmer's market.

A great way to go to Jack London Square. There are many great dining options to enjoy in the neighborhood.

The 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.
Soojee HahnNovember 16, 2015
Cowgirl creamery, Heath Ceramics, to name a few... Everything upscale grocery related can be had in this lovely building
Laura CNovember 17, 2011
This 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.
DinnidinMarch 18, 2016
Good market & oysters for $2 each served on a plastic plate like oysters are not a big deal, right? 👍👍👍

Grad a snack, booze or coffee then head to benches behind the building on the bat. Great shops in a beautiful building.
Zach WeinsteinFebruary 16, 2019
The best farmers market in SF. Arrive at 8am on a Saturday to see the whole scene. Excellent food stalls
Gilt CityJune 21, 2011
Meet SF's culinary and mixology masters and sample what’s in season at CUESA’s first ever Summer Celebration on 7/10. Relish Flour + Water, Cotogna, Namu, The Monk’s Kettle, Gitane, BIX and more.

Amazing 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.

This building feels great, beyond my expectations! There are many local small shops to choose from!

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.
Carmine GalloApril 17, 2011
Just 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.

There’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.
