Market Square

Always a great shopping expedition and food fest. Great selection. An assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, hot food and drinks, to handmade items like jewellery. The market is open Thursday's and Saturday and it's much better to go earlier as selection is better.

Hot food in this market can be pretty good. The facility is really nice. Some of the vendors are not even selling "Farm stuff." Paid parking lot and paid street parking. Parking can be very limited. Prices are not competitive. Markets in other cities in Niagara are much better. No free WiFi.

Honestly my favorite weekly ritual since I moved into saint Catherine's. The kids and I go every weekend. We always see the 'macaroon man" ( nom nom macaroons) We get Korean Pancakes from Cho's snack (it's worth the line, it can be crazy) I buy my coffee from Kurtis Coffee (the one near the front) both a fresh cup to walk around with, and some ground coffee for home. There's also a lovely guy beside the Korean Food that has amazing bread pudding and other various things. We buy our honey and our maple syrup from vendors there as well. The matcha place is lovely as well. Highly recommend their ube matcha I love the tamales from Tamales Mexico. She was so sweet the first time I bought them 'Have you had them before? So you know to unwrap them?" 🤣 The sausage place that's there as well is good. They have sausages they cook to order. I didn't realize they had ones you could buy as well. If we're going camping, we will buy a package. ---Now the meh and the misses--- The coffee shop that's at the back that has a flower shop with it. It's a miss. I've given them four tries, I really wanted to love them. I've had 4 drinks myself, and my kiddos have had a couple. All of them were not great, and we didn't finish them. They are also extremely expensive. At least 3x the price as Kurtis Coffee in the market. The Amish place that sells breakfast sandwiches, is meh. I would buy their eggs, but nobody finished even half of theirs when we bought them. Parking SUCKS in the summer. You usually need to park in a paid lot a few blocks away. In the fall and winter, you can park in the back, since they don't have outdoor sellers. Another meh is just how expensive produce is in general there. I'm all for supporting local, but paying 3x the price (or more) is past what I'm able to do. I couldn't believe how much they have potatoes, tomatoes, peaches etc priced. Usually you can find them prices similar to the store at markets, but this isn't the case in my experience with this one. ---Other Things--- Make sure you bring a reusable bag. A lot of vendors don't have them, qnd you'll wind up buying a lot 🤣 A lot of vendors only take cash (some do take money transfers) but plan to bring cash. There's a CIBC a very short walk away.

I like to go to the market square because helping the farmers it is very important and they need our help they feed the country St Catherine's Market is open Thursday and Saturday and I like it it has a large variety of food and eggs such fresh produce right from the farmers

I came here because I wanted to check out the local vendors - Needless to say, I got a couple goodies that I will definitely be enjoying. The building inside is very clean, maintained well, and it’s a decently sized building with a variety of different businesses inside! I half expected there to be more food related vendors. There were a lot of vendors here selling jewelry, crystals, clothing, and custom made items. Regardless, this is a perfect place to find unique gems and to support small and local businesses! There is parking available on location, you might need to pay for parking depending on the day, but there’s a decent amount of parking beside and behind the building plus street parking (if you can find it). The parking lot is tidy and maintained. Overall, great place to check out! Would go again to see what new things are going on and are on display!
