SHOP Local, Eat Local. Drink Local. Union Market Tustin.
11.27.15
Come out and shop small this holiday season and support local at Union Market at The District in Tustin! There’s a great Shop Local event on Saturday, November 28 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. so you can enjoy a day of shopping and savings, along with eating, drinking, prizes, raffles, gifts and goods all day long.
Union Market includes Orange County’s original artisan coffeehouse, Portola Coffee Lab that takes the art of coffee to new levels by not only hand-selecting beans, roasting, but introducing us to different brewing styles for coffees.
Kettlebar, a Southern-infused steam kettle cooking eatery is the place to find traditional Southern specialties such as seafood pan roasts, bouillabaisse, jambalaya, gumbo, clams and oysters on the half shell, etouffee and po’boys.
The Central Bar serves some of the best cocktails in OC! It’s known for its craft cocktails, exceptional wines, reasonable prices, and chic vibe. Grab a seat and let the bartenders pour you a specialty cocktail.
At The Kroft you can savor comfort foods made from scratch such as market-inspired sandwiches and poutines made from hand-cut potatoes, double fried to perfection, and piled with fresh cheese curds, homemade gravies and signature toppings.
At Apples & Oranges, a shop for a cause spot to find locally made soap, handmade ceramics, jewelry and other artistic finds—proceeds go to charity! Shop for flowers, spices and salts at Spice and Tulips; select gourmet food items from local farmers at Farmers; print your fave photos on wood at Woodsnap; find great boho chic apparel at Luella; pick up some hand poured and natural soy candles at Artisan Candle Shop; buy sweet gifts and apparel for babies and kids at The Treehouse Shop; or find curated jewelry and unique finds such nail lacquer and ceramics at The Shangri-LA.
For those with major sweet tooths, you’ve come to the right place! You can enjoy a gourmet, handmade popsicle at Front Porch Pops; or create your own childhood fave treat at Torch S’more Co. with their handcrafted mallows, grahams and chocolates; the Crepe Coop is a sensation at the Anaheim Packing District and now you can enjoy their sweet and savory crepes like you’ve never had before at Union Market, too. Go for the OG! with bananas, strawberries, Nutella, whipped cream, slivered almonds, and vanilla bean gelato.
The Dirty Cookie just revolutionized the way we eat cookies and cream. Now, you can enjoy a cookie shot, a shot glass-shaped cookie filled with housemade flavored cream, as well as a variety of other delicious baked goods. Love locally sourced and organic juices? You need to stop by drinkbar Juicery for delicious cold-pressed, raw juices. And, Farmers is open daily selling gourmet sauces, jams, granola, mustard, olive oils and more from local venders.
Newest additions at Union Market include Belage Gourmet for sandwiches and bakery items; Market 2 Plate for pasta and salads; Cubed for poke; Youngstone Cheese for grilled cheese, fondue, and cheese platters; The Hatch for gourmet sliders, craft beer, and a tiki bar; Churned Creamery for ice cream: The OC Hit Factory, a music studio, music producer and radio station.
