Border Springs Farms

This is a place you must visit if you are in Philly. For discounted parking instructions check the website of the Reading terminal market. With a $10 purchase and validation by the merchant, parking is $4 for 2 hours in the adjacent Hilton garage. There is fresh produce, fish, meat, wine, cheeses, coffee shops, eateries offering a variety of cuisines as well as many other foods. The veggie stack sandwich from Market bakery and the cookies from 4th street cookies were absolutely delicious. We were unable to get the banana pudding from Sweet Nina's since we were here in the morning and they open only at noon. The only disappointment was the Farmer's platter from Molly Malloy's kitchen. The eggs were cold, the bacon was rubbery and the potatoes were nothing to talk about. The breakfast was just inedible. We had ordered 'to go' and sat on one of the tables right outside. We later realized that there was a separate area for indoor dining and wondered whether the food being served inside was any better. We enjoyed the many gingerbread houses on display.

We've visited the Market dozens of times to shop and eat, and always enjoy this classic Philly experience. It's our go-to location to get authentic Philly food gifts for out-of town friends and family. We love Bassett's ice cream, Carmen's cheesesteaks, DiNic's pork sandwiches and all the sweet shops. Getting a table around weekend lunchtimes can be a challenge. I usually get negotiating duty while my family gets my meal. Say hi and feed Philbert the bronze pig with a Food Trust donation. This year, we enjoyed the free gingerbread house display.

A foodie paradise! The food portions are generous and very reasonable. It's a bit like a labyrinth and the aisles can get clogged with people coming and going. I recommend The Dutch Place for one of the best breakfasts you'll have in Philly. Along with food stalls are kiosks that sell herbs, candy, meats, and seafood.

This place was walking distance from our hotel, literally right across the street and they have everything you could want and more. Tons and tons of good options, anything you can imagine really, and even some stores. This place is so unique and definitely worth a visit if you’ve never been or are just in the area for a short while. During our time here we are at like four different places alone. The cookie place, by George; the diner place right when you walk in, and the bar in the back.

The market is renowned for its incredible culinary diversity. Visitors can explore a wide array of food stalls and vendors representing a range of cuisines, from Pennsylvania Dutch classics to international flavors. Many of the market's vendors offer fresh and locally sourced produce, meats, cheeses, and artisanal products. It's a great place to sample and purchase high-quality, locally sourced ingredients.
