In the old train station, markets that are from some of the best chocolate to local art and sauces, jams, honey, etc. Stroll all year long and then when the weather is warm hit the outside market. A must visit.

When your in Charleston don't miss the Capitol Market. Plan to enjoy lunch as the food at the vendors is marvelous! Also the produce outside was wonderful when we were their in early july so plan to stock up.

We always try to get to the Capitol Market when in town, everything is fresh both inside at the year round shops and outside with the local produce vendors. This weekend they were painting pumpkins with the local kids, the Charleston bike patrol was there with nike helmets for the kids it was great to see everyone out and about.

Was presenting at a Conference recently in Charleston and took 3 friends to the Capitol Market. The market has a large indoor area including meats, wines, cheese, vegetables, salsa's and much more. Outside is the traditional farmer market with plants, vegetables, trees and more. Look for the exotic plants! We bought an African mask and was very intrigued with a plant that has balloon shaped petals with a lid. Insects crawl in the plant and it fills up with water and the lid closes and the plant drowns the insect then eats it! Worth the Trip to Capitol Market!

I loved everything! The parking was easy, the location was easy to find..people so nice. If you visit you need to try SOHO's restaurant located right there. Wow so good. They have someone playing music every Saturday and it was very good as well! Chris Reese was unbelievable.

I decide to walk from my hotel to the Capitol Market. Just few blocks and I really loved. Nice fresh produce, a really good honey from the mountain state, a West Virginia Maple Syrup and few biscuits for my dogs. Kind of expensive but is good stuff. I noticed was a free parking very close. On my way back to the hotel I discovery this bakery,name; Charleston Bread on the 601 Capitol St.The pastries, breads, croissants, was out of this world! I will go back to those 2 places every time I go to Charleston.

A fun place to walk around and browse. If you like collecting local finds during your travels, this is a great place to go!

I have never really bought much here to date, but it is a very cool place to visit. It's nice to have a local market with fresh produce, and the locals that work here are so pleasant and patient. I never felt any pressure to make a purchase.

A real step above a farmer's market, Capitol Market features locally grown produce and other products in a nice, covered, open-air setting. Free parking close by. Outdoor market is open April through Sept. but the indoor section has several year-round shops and restaurants (Fresh Seafood served an excellent crab cake sandwich on a big croissant-highly recommend!.) The chocolate shop was irresistible. We also really enjoyed the Purple Onion, a "foodies" store with a large selection of bulk foods, sauces and spices, all at decent prices. A great place to spend a couple of enjoyable hours with actual West Virginian flavor.

We have visited this wonderful place several times on our travels and love the selections of fresh fruits, produce and eateries. Easy on/off 77-Great place to stretch your legs and have a healthy meal-plenty of options available and wonderful choices. Would definitely chose this gem over fast food any day!!!

Nice place to eat and shop lunch crowd goes around noon so eat early or around 1 for parking and dinning. Weekends may be less crowded but the Market has a nice fish place and sandwich shop that also has great hot dogs. I enjoy Soho's for more of a upscale lunch or dinner. Outdoor seating and indoor. Indoor shops have WV crafts and foods along with Holl's chocolates and produce. Outside booths are seasonal beautiful flowers and produce and fall months offer mums, pumpkins and winter pick out a fresh cut Christmas tree or wreath. They have sleigh rides in the winter. I love capitol market a A+ stop just inside Charleston.

Beautiful flowers, plants, vegetables, fruits for sale at reasonable prices. One of the cleanest farmers markets we have ever shopped! Plenty of options for prepared meals too! Well worth your time!

Cute market but nothing like where I live in Amish Country(PA) Its more of "vendors" then a "market"

This is a great seasonal outdoor open air market, the local vendors are top notch with their products. You can find just about anything at this market if it is in season. I visit weekly for the best finds. Some weeks it is bedding plants or fresh greens. The next it might be fresh herbs or local berries picked in neighboring counties. And when sweet corn comes in there are always so many choices.
