J & L Country Market

I always drove past this market on my way to Lakeview Cemetery. I finally stopped one afternoon with my sister and purchased the most beautiful and well cared for hanging flowers for my patio. I came back a few weeks later for annuals. The staff couldn’t be more helpful or friendlier, happy to answer questions and load your car. I will return!

I had the pleasure of buying a tree here yesterday. The whole staff was incredibly friendly and patient. Just when I had picked out the perfect tree, I got called away for a few hours and the guys set it aside, no problem. Here’s the kicker – I couldn’t get back until 30 minutes after closing time. When I called to apologize and see about returning the next day, the guy picked up and cheerfully said they figured I got caught up in something, and to come back; they would help me load up the tree! Outstanding.

We buy our trees here every year. Beautiful trees. Great prices. Excellent customer service.

I just moved to the area and spotted this place on my way to work. I am a farm market fiend so I had to check it out!
Cute little garden center/​fruit and veggie stand that has been in the area for 50 years! The plants looked beautiful and well cared for. Nice selection of fruits and veggies with some local produce thrown in the mix. Plus, I got a dozen of local, free range eggs for 2.70, what a deal! The guys were super nice and helpful too.
If you’re in the area, check it out!

I’m thrilled but also surprised to be the first review! J & L Christmas Trees & Open Air Market, I will be loyal to you as long as I am in Cleveland. Last year my boyfriend and I stumbled across this place while looking for a Christmas tree because it is conveniently located right on Euclid Avenue near (in?) University Circle. It was a week before Christmas, but the service was outstanding and the tree was SO inexpensive!
This year, we tried to stop at the nursery & tree place on Cedar Ave. near Taylor Street, because once again convenience called and we just stopped while driving by. However, it was a bust because 1) the trees were much more expensive, and 2) the place was closed, anyway! It was 7: something on a Tuesday evening. Who has time to shop for Christmas trees during workday hours? We promptly drove to the J & L Market and actually felt guilty about not going there in the first place based on the great experience we had had the previous year.
And again this year, it was a pleasant time! The guy helping us was likely the same person we had met last year. He took us back and forth across the lot of trees and laughed with us as we kept moving up to a slightly bigger size. I found out that he works twelve hour days from just after Halloween until Christmas without one day off. Someone, bring that man some hot chocolate! He deserves it for his genuine helpfulness and simply spending the much time outside in the cold cutting branches and tying trees to people’s vehicles.
We ended up getting a 6.5 foot Frasier Fir tree and it was only $ 42. It was tied to the car without question with no delay. Our tree last year was probably 4 feet (a cute little Scotch Pine) and only cost $ 20(something?) as far as we can both remember! That’s a steal, people!
In sum, go here for all of your Christmas tree needs, and make a tradition out of it. They have plenty of variety and a small, medium or large tree that will suit your sizing desires. And, someone bring that guy a hot chocolate!
