The West Palm Beach GreenMarket returns to the city’s downtown waterfront October 3. Consistently ranked as the No. 1 farmers market in the United States in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers Choice Awards, the GreenMarket has blossomed in recent years to include roughly 150 vendors, live entertainment, and elite people watching. It takes place every Saturday morning, 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., through May 22, except for February 6 and March 20. Here, we spotlight a handful of the local vendors who make the market so special.

Famous for: “The best stuffed bagels in Florida. Our New York–style, kettle-boiled bagels do not have a hole because we bake them with the cream cheese inside.”
Favorite thing about the GreenMarket: “What I love most is that the market always feels familiar yet fresh. We get to see our regulars, meet travelers discovering Palm Beach as the first stop on the food tour, and collaborate with some seriously talented local vendors. It’s the perfect combination of community and creativity, leaving our hearts as full as our bagels.”

Famous for: “Our Banana Whip. Our most popular creation is The OG, which is topped with our homemade chocolate sauce and peanut butter. It feels like an indulgent dessert while still being a treat you can feel good about enjoying. Our Banana Whip is made with no dairy, no gluten, and no refined sugars, literally just a banana, making it a delicious option for people looking for a healthier sweet treat.”
Favorite thing about the GreenMarket: “Without a doubt, it’s the community and the relationships we’ve built with our customers. We love seeing familiar faces come back week after week, getting to know our customers and their families, and watching people introduce their friends to Rick’s Banana Whips for the first time.”

Famous for: “We are best known for our variety of homemade, from-scratch soups, made with love and plenty of flavor. We offer something for every taste and dietary preference, including gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options. Catering events [Egle’s Catering] is my primary business but making soup is a labor of love that I truly enjoy.”
Favorite thing about the GreenMarket: “It brings together such a wonderful mix of creative, fun, and friendly vendors for the West Palm Beach community and visitors to enjoy. The beautiful waterfront views and vibrant atmosphere make the GreenMarket truly one of a kind. It’s beautiful, energetic, and always full of life.”
Limone Gelato and Sorbet

Famous for: “Our Italian lemon sorbet in a hollowed-out lemon. It is iconic, and you can’t get it anywhere else in South Florida. People literally travel to the Amalfi Coast to enjoy this treat. The first bite feels like being transported to Italy.”
Favorite thing about the GreenMarket: “The variety is the first thing that comes to mind. There is so much you can get in such a small footprint. You can enjoy foods from all over the world, leading to interesting connections and endless inspiration.”
Rollup NYC
Anthony Curatola
Number of years at the GreenMarket: Entering year six
Famous for: Artisan egg rolls. “Everyone in New York runs on a bacon, egg, and cheese. As a New Yorker, it was the inspiration for our bacon, egg, and cheese roll-up. It is a must for a first timer.”
Favorite thing about the GreenMarket: “I love the camaraderie between myself and the other vendors and city staff. There is a family aspect to being part of the West Palm Beach GreenMarket. Additionally, I love selling my food in the street—it brings a joy you can’t replicate in a large restaurant. The market continues to grow, and the enthusiasm through the entire season is unmatched.”
