I didn't want to review this place because I love this place and want it for myself. This place gets packed on the weekends. I spent the first few years perusing the left side Asian aisles. As I got more curious, I ventured off into the other countries. Now it's a hobby of my wife and I to just buy a random thing from another country and eat it. It could be from anywhere. It turns out I really like Polish sausage (It makes up my top 5 food to eat when intoxicated). Reading up on the food's history and country of origin on Wikipedia is fun. This place stomps on Your Dekalb Farmer's Market. That place sells more organic stuff and is overpriced and still doesn't take credit cards and just as packed as this place. I wish the food court on the left for tacos is open later and the American aisles are kind of overpriced. I get it. They don't have the sales volume of Kroger or Walmart. Just avoid those areas. Would I come here again? Yes. I live relatively close, and it has a lot of variety. It's also next to a Marshall's.

After experiencing this place and pondering on the variety of food available, I think this place truly deserves 5 stars. Now it won't be Publix shopping experience, but you'll really get the cultural aspect like no other place. The aisles are still primarily labeled by country. And there are so many varieties of food to discover. I still love perusing the European aisles and looking at the clearance items and trying new products. Why let the food go to waste when I can learn a little something about another place. Reading up on the food's history and country of origin is a pastime the hubs and I still do. And I guess there are samples on the Asian side (left ish side of store) during primetime Saturday shopping hours so that's a nice bonus. The food court at the front left is still around. The prepared foods/to go sushi is still at the very back left corner. The Hispanic bakery is still at the front right corner. And I still love the cheese/meats/bakery in the middle left. I'm just re-experiencing Buford Highway Farmer's Market with a new lens of appreciation.

My first time coming here but this place is huge. Shopping carts look old but all the wheels work. The produce section is huge and loaded with the freshest produce. This place is essentially an international market mixed with a farmer's market .The seafood section is humongous. I will return a couple of times.

Stopping by since I was just down the street, I was impressed with the size and the assortment of European ingredients! Lots of shelves to get lost in and I would love to come again with a more extensive grocery list. The service was friendly but the prices are a little higher than typical, which makes sense assuming everything is imported. Check out this unique and fun grocery store (as someone who loves shopping)!

This is my favorite market to shop at in Atlanta, and I would do all of my grocery shopping here if it wasn't so far. They have most countries represented here and most of the produce is in season. I love their Asian section, Russian for sweets and caviar, Mexican for carne de cerdo, and all of the produce department for unique and exotic stuff. Highly recommend if you are in town!

It was my first time and this farmers market is heaven for grocery shopping! Love the wide variety of greens, veggies, fruits from around the world! Their collection of cheese is really something that wowed me. The European bakery and the pastries is a must try. We loved tiramisu and some savouries we tried. The fresh breads had a lot of options to choose from! Their grocery options from around the world from Korean to Japanese and Turkey to Germany, had a lot to offer! Overall a seem less servíce experience at the checkout as well! Great place and the prices are worth it! Ambiance is pretty basic but everything is well mentioned.

This is such an awesome store with tons of variety. This is the only place besides Publix in the ATL area that I have been able to find Portuguese sausage (Linguiça) in the past 5 years. I've heard taro leaves are sold here but the two times I came in this year (October and December) there were none, so I'm guessing their shipments vary on certain items. I was also excited to find red hot dogs from Hawaii (Redondo Winnahs) as I have not had any in a few years and they bring back so much childhood nostalgia for me. IYKYK, but they have a special, slightly sweet taste to them. I recently found all the ingredients I needed here, including bitter melon, to make my first homemade pinakbet ever and was very happy about that! It came out great, and I will definitely come back for more produce when I want to cook more Filipino food. I like Hmart and City Farmers Market but there is really so much variety here, you can find exactly what you need and end up leaving with some goodies you didn't expect as well. I love that there are some li hing mui snacks and other snacks made in Hawaii here, manapua made in Hawaii as well as a huge separate frozen bao section here, poi from Oahu that I have not had in so long, a huge variety of seasonings and paste sections to create almost any Asian dish you could want, a good selection of frozen Indian meals (coming back for that), a nice bakery full of Polish and other Eastern European pastries that look amazing (left with some frozen pierogies), all the ramen you could want including the instant pancit canton that not everyone carries, and really the only dedicated "Hawaiian" section I have seen in a store in ATL so far (though I have not been everywhere of course). I was sad I didn't stock up on more Redondos hotdogs in October because when I came back this month for lunch they were all out. I love the hot section too though. The bulgogi has been great and I'm glad they sell rice and fried rice separate in case you don't want a bento. The spicy pork, japchae, and kimbap were also very good. I never tried Kimbap till recently but I enjoyed the bulgogi one. It's just an overall great store with tons of options on produce, ingredients, and a great place to pickup pickled sprouts, takuan, or a variety of other kim chee too. I will definitely be back to see what else is in the Hawaii section regularly, for the hot food, and to probably try something new every time. Highly recommend if you haven't been yet.

I came here looking for fruits and vegetables to incorporate into my diet. The facility is very large in a very ethnic part of Dekalb County. The counter service is fast and friendly. It gets busy so not sure about the stockers assistance as everything is laid out like a publix or kroger by number. I was amazed at the amount of foods from around the globe represented here. There is a lot more than your local H-mart or Nae Dum markets. The meat and fish departments are well stocked with very good prices as compared to Trader Joe's or Whole pay-check. It's a great place for fresh fruit and veggies with lots of exotic fruit mixed in.

Came for the first time EVER & I grew up in ATLANTA my whole life. What a place!! BIG!! Produce is fresh & plentiful- expensive. Fairly decent meat & seafood area, but not at all like DeKalb Farmers Market. Small cheese selection- not a lot of out of the ordinary foods, but definitely a good variety. Wines, frozen foods, ethnic, RAMIN... thise crazy flavor Lays chips & KITKATS Decent parking, but tight. Go & enjoy. We had a good time, but not sure we would take a 30 min trip back. Nothing we can't get closer to home.
