Patsy D'Amore's Pizza

Before Patsy introduced it, nobody in Los Angeles had ever even heard of pizza. The most authentic pizza anywhere, Patsy’s pizza is still baked in the original brick oven with toppings as varied as you wish. Outstanding lasagna and spaghetti, too.

Friends and Family Pizza Co

From the celebrated team behind Friends & Family in Hollywood, we are pleased to welcome Friends & Family Pizza Co.

This chef-driven eatery will be your new West Patio go-to spot.

Charlie’s Coffee Shop

A great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. No matter what you order – the exquisite French Toast, a great sandwich, a cheeseburger so perfect it's a star on TV and in newspapers – expect to hear the gang behind the counter bellow your name when your order is ready. (Critic Favorite)

Phil's Deli & Grill

Just like the good old days: great counter seating (or carry away to a patio table) and the perfect diner menu (breakfast, lunch and dinner): huge sandwiches, luscious burgers and hot dogs, and deli fare worthy of New York. The Philly steak sandwich here impresses even natives of that city.

Du-par’s Restaurant

Perhaps the quintessential local favorite, Du-par's has been around since 1938, almost as long as the Market itself. Some believe the phrase comfort food was created to describe this beloved diner. From homemade chicken pot pies to the best hotcakes in Los Angeles, Du-par's is always a fan favorite.

Thousands of candies are available to satisfy almost any sweet tooth, everything from classics to new favorites sandwiched in between a melt-in-your mouth fondue bar. (Located on the eastern end of Farmers Market Plaza)

Magic Nut and Candy Company

A world-wide selection of nuts occupies the counters here. So do exotic treats of all kinds: candied fruits in so many varieties that it’s difficult to keep track, wonderful candies and flavored popcorns. They’ll box it for you, ship it for you or just hand it over so you can start enjoying it all right away.

Bennett's Ice Cream

Bennett’s Ice Cream is one of the last of a vanishing tradition: Scott Bennett and his staff make their own ice cream from fresh ingredients mixed on the spot (you can watch the process through Bennett’s kitchen window). The result is so fine that Bennett's regularly wins awards (there are Blue Ribbons all over the shop). The flavors are also wonderfully inventive – try Scott’s cabernet sauvignon sorbet or his pumpkin ice cream. Click here to learn about Scott Bennett, owner of Bennett's Ice Cream.
