Love the vibrancy of all the farmers and the selection at this market. It's held Tuesdays and Fridays from 10:30-1 with Friday being the bigger and busier day. There is always a great selection of food and crafts and great food trucks to be had.

Situated just off the Square in downtown Columbus, this eclectic mix of market produce, breads, other bakery items, clothing, candies, is exceptional! I bought some "buckeye" candies, a generous size of peanut butter candy dipped in milk chocolate and boxed effectively...4 for $3. They tasted even better than they looked (try Taylor's Tunis). Apparently only here on Friday's hidden away in "Pearl Alley", just off 4th and Broad.

This market is relatively small and has a combination of food, service information, and local venders. If you are already heading to North Market, this is about 5 minute drive and well worth the extra little time.
Venders are generally friendly and welcoming. Most that we saw were well priced but the selection of goods is somewhat limited. There are several jewelry booths, some clothing, baked goods/deserts, and pet supplies/food. The farm produce was fresh when we went in the summer and high quality.
One vendor who I wil plug specifically is "Two Roasting Joes Coffee". While I wouldn't say I'm some coffee expert, I have sampled coffee in a number of countries well known for producing coffee and these guys have done a great job in roasting their own coffee. They have a huge selection from around the globe, in either whole bean or ground. They have some of their own blends and flavored varieties. They are quite affordable too. I walked away with several varieties and if I was local I'd be there regularly. If you're just hot and want an iced coffee they also sell it by the glass which puts popular coffee store iced coffee to shame. After having theirs, SB or TH will taste like fart in your mouth!

I have purchased everything from farm fare to crafts from various vendors at the Pearl Market. This is tucked away kind of in an alley off of Gay Street, not to far from Cafe Brioso. I've only visited in the summer, but it is probably open other seasons.
If you are in downtown Columbus and want to experience some of the new urban life that is enhancing the city, this is a great venue.

This little market located snug in a side street; in downtown columbus is a great place for foodies. This market offers a great array of foods from fruit to vegetables, as well as handmade jewelry.

Farm market items are no deal vs suburban farm markets. Thinking the rates charged for booth space may be above average. Number of vendors is not impressive. Food Trucks could be changed up more often, and could be aware that take out orders should be packaged for travel.

I found the Pearl Market to be a fantastic open air farmers market right in downtown. There were many different stands and quite a few fresh produce stands with local goods from about a five county area. The prices were reasonable, the operators friendly and the atmosphere was one of help and cooperation.
