Mercado Laguna is a charming and fantastic market in North Laguna, a hidden gem that radiates the essence of Laguna Beach. It is a wonderful, inviting place with a niche vibe, filled with lots of local goods and yummy treats. The owners are incredibly nice, and the staff is super welcoming, helpful, and warm. The market offers a wide and surprising selection of fresh foods, fine foods, and specialty groceries, placing it a step above in quality offerings. It is stocked with healthy salads, dips, fresh fruit and veggies, artichokes, and local and organic produce. For dinner, there are great grab-and-go options like stacked chicken enchiladas, lasagna, and rotating meal kits. It is also the place to go for awesome home-baked pies, such as citrus, strawberry rhubarb, mixed berry, and a killer salted caramel apple pie, which are not overly sweet. Other standout items include homemade chocolate chip cookies, Herb Compound Butter, Momofuku noodles, and chili crunch. This variety makes it a perfect one-stop shop for hosting dinner parties or events, offering wonderful accompaniments. Additionally, a section of the store features a cute little gift shop with knick knacks, party favors, decorations, baskets, and last-minute greeting cards or hostess gifts. Convenient for both locals and visitors, Mercado Laguna is a treasure worth traveling for, providing good food and good service in a charming shop that everyone should support.
We ordered the most beautiful boards. The quality of all the fruit, veggies, and dips were absolutely incredible! I’m going to be dreaming about these boards until I have another excuse to get them.

Cutest health food store full of healthy local items. They also have a lot of gluten free items, which I love! Their gluten free carrot cake slice is a must try😍
