Central Market

Hands down the best place for world food choices in town . It is a little pricy but you can find decent, good quality food from pretty much all over the world.

When you're eating on the patio , and care to indulge on a glass of wine , it's way cheaper to buy a bottle from inside and split among friends rather than a glass from the cafe .

Order up at the cafe , it's the best fine food meal option in Austin, all served up casual cafe style . Them grab a seat by the playscape and enjoy the outdoors, followed by a lap round the pond .

Love the cooking school as well as the enormous selection of product. Cafe has great food selection with specials. Free music on a regular basis.

Try the meals for two. Under $20 for a pre - prepared meal that just needs your oven, doctor it up just the way you like and serve it up at home.

Central Market is a food lover's paradise - incredible selection of produce, world-class bakery , and true food enthusiasts. A feast for the senses.

Phenomenal selection of food. One of my favorite grocery stores in town .

The ultimate grocery store . Still my favorite.

Really solid cheese and wine departments

The salad and soup bar is amazing if you need lunch or dinner on the go. Fresh and real, beats fast food any day. Don't forget a stuffed grape leaf!

They sell meals by ingredient. Like a bag with ingredients that you can make a meal from. Great for the beginner cook.

Great place for kids to play while the grown-ups can relax. Even during hot summer days, the playground is well shaded by trees .

Shopping with kids can be a tricky task but easily rewarded on Tuesday afternoons when kids eat free after 5 pm. Demos and tasting stations are great too!

Great produce. Good beer selection . Lots of fresh breads and meats! Mmm... Meat.

Don't even think about putting your tortilla soup toppings (chip strips and cheese ) in another container to go home with you. They'll weigh it and charge you the salad bar weight price. Annoying!

Every weekend is sample central! Relax on the patio with their house-made gelato and enjoy live, local music on Sunday. We enjoy grabbing bread from the bakery and feeding the ducks . Read more

Everything is great here. The produce is amazing, try anything from the deli , bakery , salad bar...it's amazing.

Thur-Sunday they have live music . grab a bottle of wine and enjoy. get your spot early because they tend to get crowded .

Food is great, nice place to spend an evening with friends. I always enjoy coming to Central Market.

The outside deck is a wonderful place for a friday wind down with friends, live music and dancing

I am coming to Austin to have fun and enjoy my holidays. Do you think could it be the right place where to buy local food to have lunch ?

Their selection of energy drinks is great, lots of all-natural variety. Try their scones , too. Yum.

Best Caesar salad dressing in the world. It's a decent foodie store that is less expensive than Whole Paycheck.

Don't get lost. They have a great selection of craft beer .

Order the veggie burger at the cafe . Best veggie burger in Austin. Pair it with sweet potato fries , yum!

Blythe Jewell of the Kidding Around Austin blog says to stop by Central Market to stock up on the perfect picnic meal then spread out by their duck/turtle pond .

Forget Whole Foods. Central Market is way better.

The Orange Mocha is really good, as well as the egg benedict .

If you're looking for the perfect farmer's market , here it is. Fresh groceries and an adorable playground to bring the kids to!

A great playground for toddlers and kids from 1 - 12 with lots of seating and shade nearby. Also a good size lawn for playing.

Grab a beer (or 24), a salad , and enjoy the live music on the patio . You'll have plenty to choose from.

Food is amazing, but be prepared to wait in crazy long checkout lines . These checkers would get eaten alive at a regular HEB

I like to very much. You can find everything you need just in one place.

They literally have everything. Stop by during #hatchfest

Parents can eat a sandwich and sip iced tea (or a glass of wine ) while the little ones attack the well-shaded playground .

Everything! Lots of variety! Great shopping experience!

Bring your water bottle and get a refill. Enjoy some tasty sandwiches outdoors. Just watch out for the birds!

The free chili chicken soup is just right, not too spicy . Try it out if they have any left!

Check out the $5.00 CHAR SUI LETTUCE WRAP : Chinese chopped chicken salad , toasted almonds , fried wontons , black sesame seeds and bibb lettuce served with sriracha chile sauce !
