What's your favorite thing to eat at the Original Farmers Market? Is there a joint you stop by every time you're at the market? Any unique or ethnic food that can only be found there?
I finally got around to trying Pasta Corner at the Original Farmers Market, and wow—it did not disappoint! The setup is small, but it feels like a hidden gem tucked between all the market’s hustle and bustle. I went on a weekend afternoon, and while it was busy, the line moved fast.
The pasta was perfectly al dente, and the sauce had just the right amount of creaminess without being too heavy. My friend and I both both agreed it was one of the best we’ve had in LA—super silky with the perfect balance of cheese and pepper.
The best part would undoubtedly be the people-watching. Sitting outside with a plate of handmade pasta while soaking in the market’s lively atmosphere was such a vibe. Definitely recommend grabbing a seat if you can, but even if you take it to-go, the quality holds up.
Would I go back? Absolutely—next time, I’m trying the Lobster Ravioli!
If you're visiting the Original Farmers Market, Bob's Coffee & Doughnuts is an absolute must-visit. It's a classic, no-frills spot that’s been around forever for a reason — the doughnuts are incredible (especially the old-fashioned), and the coffee pairs perfectly. There's something nostalgic about grabbing a warm, fresh doughnut from Bob’s while walking around the market. It's not fancy but so satisfyingly good — exactly what you want from a true farmers market gem.
