We love West Side Market and I have been coming here my whole life. I do agree there are great vendors and then there are shady vendors..........be careful and selective. YOU have to know what you want and be a good shopper.......don't assume they are going to give you the best, because many of them won't. My kids love the... more

We're not from here and we'd never been here before, looked up reviews and everyone said it was a must see. I agree it is huge, there is a ton of items to buy so if you're a cook looking for lots of options on what to serve your guests, this is the place to come. The crepe's are really... more

The West Side Market harkens back to the days before the auto and certainly supermarkets. The emphasis is on food, much of it prepared, and there is none of the crafts and arts seen at other markets. There are probably about 20 produce and fruit vendors, many of them urging you to sample their goods in a detached L-shaped building.... more

I stumbled upon the West Side Market and it was a pleasant surprise. Since I was leaving Cleveland that day and did not need any food I didn't purchase anything. The West Side Market has rows and rows of vendors with fresh produce (in the smaller building) so if you are going to be cooking a meal or want some... more

Overall the West Side Market is pretty cool. I got the cannoli from Theresa's Bakery(they fill the "fresh" filling in front of you) but she filled the filling without gloves and dipped the ends of the cannoli in chocolate chips without gloves!!! Not only that, but she grab the strawberry cheesecake for my friend without gloves. There was signs that... more

I really enjoy every visit to the West Side Market. If you want to experience the hustle and bustle of a big city market, go on a Saturday and watch the crowds. I find it fun to do this, although it can be a little hard to move around sometimes, especially in the Mediterranean store that I love. I love... more

Loved It!

I loved it! Even just visiting it was wonderful! We just window shopped around the stands and bought a pastry to eat. I went up the stairs and got great pictures! more

I disagree with IndieJason, but to each their own. There are some bad vendors, but to lump them all together is very unfair. And the produce offered by most is not second rate, or the old items. If you get something bad tell the vendor, most will give you a refund and replacement. There are family vendors who have been... more

The Westside market, once a Cleveland instituation and hidden gem, is plagued with shady produce stands. While the inside retains all of its glory the outside produce stands are mostly miss on the hit and miss scale. There are very rare exceptions such as the organic stand and potato/onion stand and a couple other down that particular smaller row that... more

Great place to pick up local foods. Everything we tried was good. Not a lot of area to eat, but can go across the steet to the park. Wish this was in my hometown to shop. more
