Baby’s Marché

Helmed by chef Justin Snyder and his wife, Johanna, this market offers premium sandwiches, pantry items, and a meat counter. 

El Toro Loco

The neighborhood outlet houses a butcher shop, bakery, and hard-to-find Central American and Mexican ingredients. Order fresh-grilled fare in the back. 

Nature’s Health Food & Café

A resource for wholesome ingredients that suit various dietary preferences, the organic health food market also contains a café serving veggie and vegan fare. 

On the Mark

It’s hard to walk into On the Mark when you’re hungry. Prepare to be tempted by artisan cheeses, jars of gourmet sauces and pickles, pâtés, and small-batch snacks. Satisfy your rumbles at the deli counter with a gourmet sandwich. 

Perez Meat Market

Prep for your own taco night or take a homemade torta or burrito to go. The meat market specializes in traditional Mexican cuts and flavors — come here for carne asada, salsas, and fresh-from-the-farm produce.

A spice lover’s dream, the shop features an impressive selection of Indian, Arabic, and Mediterranean spices and convenience items that you won’t find elsewhere in the Coachella Valley. spicerackcv.com
