This place is amazing. Anything you could want in a grocery store . Meat and seafood are especially fresh with actual fishmongers and butchers . A good amount of local produce , too! A true Texas gem.

Julia Kaplan

I could live in this grocery store ! Amazing staff , great selection of everything you can think of, & fresh squeezed juices . Take advantage of free samples . They're EVERYWHERE.

Ed Ramirez

Great place for breakfast and lunch . Breakfast portions are generous. Great place for the family. If ordering waffles for the kids, I suggest a half order as the waffles are the size of the plate!

Kalaia Jojo

Love the stuff here, very fresh and amazing knowledge they have.

Simon Silverleaf

Being able to buy just the quantity of ingredients that I need makes sure I don't end up with a larder filled with unused food.

Kyle Bunch

Whole Foods is great...but Central Market gives them a run for their money. The butchers are always very helpful...call ahead if you need them to prep a special cut for you.

Rania

Hands down the best roast chicken in the city . They manage to make them less greasy but still moist and so tasty

Arianna McKinney

It's Brasíl week here. Amazing Brazilian cold and hot prepared dishes, wines , samples, and ingredients. I love this place.

Aaron Vincent

Pricey , but fresh food and great products. Shop local and definitely don't go to Whole Paycheck!

Erin G

This place is incredible. The Cold Pressed Juice counter and Meat selections can't be beat.

Carmen McFarlin

Brian

French Macaroons and cupcakes are amazing. I want them ALL!!!

Ali

Central Market in general is fantastic, but the layout of this one sucks. Frantic, stressful, crowded .

Megan Sherer

Looking for a specific fruit or veg ? This is the place to check. They've got a wide variety

Sam Melnick

So many fruits ! It's always fun to see what seasonal foods they have in stock.

Sam D

The cafe has a great Cobb salad

Danielle McDonald

This store has everything, especially hard to find specialty items that other grocery stores don't have!

William S

Love this place. Beer selection is awesome, bakery is great, cheese selection out of this world, prepared

Bernabe Costales

Large store with perishable amenities . Not structured like a regular supermarket , so no pharmacy type stuff to be found here.

Ashley Harris

Try the cotton candy grapes !!! They are a limited time only, and really DO taste like COTTON CANDY!!!

Deborah Lira

Ok BBQ should only be consumed at a place that specializes in BBQ especially brisket . It just lacks that flavor to be good BBQ . Stick with what they do well burger , pizza etc when ordering.

Stephaniiiiiii R

Meat, seafood , bakery , deli , cheese , coffee

Rachel Miller

Try the Tiramisu gelato at their gelato bar .

Jennifer Reiney

Have really expanded the store. Much larger grocery . More of an open feel too.

Charles W

Best to avoid the Tortilla soup ; all else is excellent @ deli dept...

Chaffro

You can eat everything here, even the sales assistants.

Danu Approved

The hot Chicken Tortilla Soup was all chicken tonight! Look out Hungry Man!!

Will McKenna

Great new layout, much cleaner than before!

Tina Wang

Roses are $1 on Tuesdays.

Mitch

Typical Central Market with large selection of healthier groceries .

Daniel Jones

I saw a six pack of Faygo in bottles for eight bucks. That sums up my experience here. Why subject yourself to such prices? Just go to Whole Foods if you're that pretentious .

Rob Crosley

Passion fruit is in season. Try one while they last!

A !!!

Nice people, organic products

AgentXrae

I was skeptical but the prepared sushi is actually pretty good. Had it 3x this week for lunch !

Jack Holt

Come when you're hungry so you'll over spend and help the local economy!

David Koontz

Certain things here are 'the best in town '

Emily K.

A week left on the remodel which will make navigating the store better.

Juan Jimenez

If you want the CM cafe experience without all the grackles outside, this is your spot.

Tom Huseby

Expresso bar is the best!

Ken Cagle

For people buying "natural" "organic " foods and such. They sure do give off bad energy. Like store. Hate the people. Even the employees (cashiers ok) more of the floor people are pretentious as FUCK

Claire Heleniak

All the food is great!

Tina Wang

The experience is much improved once you learn all the shortcuts.

Suzanne Pike

Gazpacho is delicious.

Ruben Salinas

Layout is a little hard to understand for first time visitors, but take advantage of the shortcuts when you get lost!!

Allen Velasquez

Look for the beef jerky in the bulk section . Free samples !

Aaron Terry

Get a plantanada (banana , milk , nutmeg , honey ) from the smoothie bar . Not on the menu anymore, but they still make it.

John Jennings

Saturday is busy. Try shopping on Friday.
