Claremont Village 

Because the farmers market is situated right in the center of the Village, you are only steps away from some of the best independent businesses.

Coffee Shops & Bakeries

  • Iron & Kin Coffee Co.: Located inside the historic Claremont Packing House (just a block west of the market). It's a gorgeous, minimalist specialty coffee shop known for its incredibly creative drinks—like their signature Affirmation Latte—and weekend waffles.

  • Crème Bakery: Situated right on Harvard Ave, this is an absolute must-visit if you love authentic French pastries. Grab a flaky croissant, a fruit tart, or a fresh loaf of sourdough.

  • Philz Coffee: If you are looking for a lively patio to sit and people-watch after the market, head down Bonita Ave to Philz for one of their famous customized, pour-over mint mojito iced coffees.

  • 42nd Street Bagel: A beloved Claremont staple right on Yale Ave. If you want a classic, no-nonsense breakfast bagel sandwich with a cup of drip coffee, this is where the locals flock.

Post-Market Brunch & Lunch Spots

  • Claremont Village Eatery: Located on Bonita Ave, this spot is perfect if you want a hearty sit-down breakfast or lunch. They use high-quality ingredients (no seed oils) and make exceptional avocado toasts, breakfast burritos, and paninis.

  • The Back Abbey: Tucked slightly off the main drag on Oberlin Avenue, this is widely considered one of the best burger joints in Southern California. Famous for their gourmet Abbey Burger (with micro-greens and aged gouda) and an extensive, curated Belgian beer list.

  • Bardot: Located in Harvard Square, this modern eatery offers a beautiful, upscale patio environment that is perfect for a breezy Sunday brunch with specialty cocktails.

Unique Village Spots to Browse

  • The Cheese Cave: A fantastic specialty shop on Yale Ave where you can sample artisanal cheeses, cured meats, and pick up a bottle of wine or a pre-made charcuterie box.

  • Rhino Records: If you want a dose of local culture, head over to this iconic, independent record store. It's been a staple of the Claremont community since the 1970s and is perfect for crate-digging vinyl, CDs, and books.

  • Bert & Rocky's Cream Co.: If it's a warm Southern California morning, line up at this old-school parlor on Yale Ave for homemade ice cream, giant ice cream bars, and handmade confections.
