The 6 Best Markets in Sacramento
In a city like Sacramento, most residents choose quality over anything else when it comes to food. Markets that carry fresh and high-standard foods, flowers, teas and coffee, and more artfully-crafted goods, are considered the best in the region. Here are some of the best markets in Sacramento.
1. Midtown Farmers Market
Farmers' Market, Street Food
Open all year round, patrons of the Midtown Farmers Market flock to 20th Street to support all the local farmers that vendor this lively gathering. Booths that line the streets exhibit regionally-grown and owned foods, agriculture, crafts, and other goods. Flower artisans boast their colorful blossoms of the season, and business owners showcase their merchandise and produce at the Midtown Farmers Market. Organic skincare lines often sell their carefully-crafted serums and creams to supportive Sacramento market-goers looking to localize their beauty regimen.
2. Taylor’s Market
Market, American, Asian, European, Mexican
Hands-down, one of the most raved about meat selections in the entire region comes from Taylor’s Market. A gourmet grocery market, Taylor’s houses artisan butchers, bakers, and chefs to display some of the best produce, goods, and prepared foods in the city. Residents trust this grocer’s honor to food and to those who eat it; out-of-towners relish in the hyper-local selection of cuisine, flowers, beer, and wine. In operation since 1962, long-time Sacramentans and Taylor’s employees make up the market’s own management, cementing its dedication to the city and its top-notch artisans.
3. Corti Brothers
Market, American, European, Middle Eastern, Asian, Mexican
European-inspired, this high-end market carries choice worldly goods, exotic foods, and a vast selection of craft pasta. Corti Brothers’ prices range to include both the humble and affluent shopper, with an inventory that features a variety of prepared cuisine and baked goods. Crafted sandwiches with modest costs are frequented by patrons, while dishes from around the world, like Loison Focaccia Mandorlata—a holiday cake dressed in almonds that hails from Northern Italy—sell out and must frequently be restocked to this gourmet market’s shelves.
5. Nugget Market
Market, American, Mexican, Asian, Vegan, Gluten-free, European, Middle Eastern
