Why SoFA Market?
Located in the heart of San Jose’s SoFA District, SoFA Market is more than just a food hall — it’s a hub for local community, creative expression, and cultural connection. The venue was born from a vision to revitalize a once-vacant building and turn it into a thriving, inclusive space for food, art, and gatherings.
“We envisioned a group of like-minded vendors committed to creating a vibrant urban scene and interested in locally-sourced and organic products. It’s been a long road… but we’re proud of the work we’ve done and the community we’ve built here in the SoFA District.”
— Thang Do, Founder, SoFA Market
