New flavors and fresh concepts are always finding their way inside the market’s walls, adding to its already diverse lineup of spots to eat, shop, and enjoy.

Since opening in 2013 at 435 Ionia Ave. SW, the Downtown Market has become home to dozens of local restaurants and artisan food vendors. Beyond the daily bites, it also houses a commercial kitchen that helps food start-ups get off the ground and hosts community events throughout the year. From vintage pop-ups to handmade craft fairs—and the always-popular Christkindl Markt—which returns soon, there’s always something happening at the market.

So what's new at Grand Rapids Downtown Market? Let's start with something sweet!

Her Daily Bread Cookie Shop & Studio

Her Daily Bread Cookie Shop & Studio, owned by Megan Hamilton, is officially opening its doors this Wednesday, October 1. Megan discovered cookie decorating as a stress-relieving hobby while in grad school and turned it into a passion, later building a thriving bakery after navigating job losses during the pandemic and welcoming her first son.

Visitors can celebrate the grand opening from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. with free cookie samples, gift bags for the first 25 customers, and a DIY Cookie Bar featuring more than ten flavors. It’s a chance to indulge, get creative, and welcome one of the newest Market Hall additions.

The good news doesn’t stop there — another new flavor is joining the mix at the Market Hall this fall.

Myanmar Meals will soon open its doors, bringing the bold, vibrant tastes of Burmese cuisine to downtown Grand Rapids. Owners Aye Soe and Min Tun, who immigrated to the U.S. in 2008, have long dreamed of sharing their culinary traditions with West Michigan.
