So happy I came to Central Market. I got an email with a $10.00 off $50.00! Which is a great savings. I did a few extras not on my list. But so worth it. Today I wanted to focus on fruit for snacks. Energy drinks. And I was really hoping my favorite Rancho Gordo beans were in stock. But I didn't see them. (Sad face) Some extras I got that I was not planning on, chocolate. Not just any chocolate, KESSHŌ chocolate, from Austin! Whoa, so good. I got the raspberry, but they have many other flavors. Also bought some pasta and sauce too. I was able to walk right up to a cashier. He was nice, and fast. My bagger was helpful with PLU numbers for the cashier. He bagged up my groceries fast. Great experience.
Nice staff, fantastic food, pricey but worth it, great ambience, convenient location, parking good enough. Nice alternative to the less varied offerings at Trader Joe's (I love TJ's though too, since they are more affordable and the food is fantastic too) and the more uppity and pricey vibe of Whole Foods. I usually go to HEB, but Central Market is a perfect "treat" for me to go to about every month, to keep things fresh and interesting.
Central Market never disappoints. Fresh fruits and vegetables, beverages, fresh breads, pastries, and soo much more. This time found a whole arrey of cold pressed juices and green teas. They have options in mixed fruit, antioxidant version, single fruit, apple cider variations etc. Got the Orange Carrot Ginger. Opened it right there in the store, it was very refreshing, half was over even before I paid for it. Since it is fresh juice, the shelf life advised is 4 days. Next, went searching for green tea. The aisle is very well organized and decorated with huge posters on top explaining the various kinds of teas and their effectiveness. The posters did their job, I spent a lot of time wondering if I need more sleep to get energy, or drink the energy tea for direct impact instead... (wink) . Finally settled on the caffine free hibiscus tea. Looked like a good option. Must visit again (and again).
Of course I love HEB! It would be completely in America to not. Central is a different level the prepared food is really delicious! The Tarragon salad is out of this world, the seafood section was incredible and the bakery was WOW!!! it was my first time at central and I enjoyed shopping there. The parking lot is a bit crazy but doable.
All right folks, I see that I need to spend a little bit more time in central market on another day outside of Tuesday where I come to get roses. I was out of some of my juicing supply, so I decided to grab some veggies and take a tour of the store a little bit further. Honestly, it's a happy place and it gives me a form of peace that have some good music in my ears and walk around the store to see all the neat and yummy choices. Sarah helped me out and rang up all my goodies. She was so pleasant to speak with and based on the reviews that is the type of service you guys continue to provide. Thanks Central market for making the experience a true experience.
What can I say about "The CM" as we call it at my house? It's the best. The one on South Lamar and others I've been to in Houston have such a confusing layout. This one is amazing. Efficient. It flows. The produce is incredible. The items are always so unique and the staff is always so helpful. Parking can be an issue sometimes, but you just need to go not on a Friday night or Sunday. Haha Love the music in the evenings and the cafe is both delicious and affordable! 15/10 recommend
It's taken me a while to visit this place and we were pleasantly surprised. The playground is huge with lots of open space and there were plenty of kids there. You order at the counter inside and we got the pizza, Cesar salad, turkey club and burger. Then some hot chai teas because it was a little chilly. The food was pretty good. We were there for about 2 hours and there is plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. When we left, we grabbed some gelato and were on our way. Highly recommend if you have kids.
Beautiful store, clean, organized and bright. Great selection of products and flowers.a little above average cost, but worth it.
This grocery store has some really nifty niche items. The bakery looks so good! We went here to look for a specific high-end chocolate bar and after some searching found it ($10/each). They support local and you can find some great local foods here, albeit at a high price.
I got a shrimp wrap! It seemed to be part of the tropical themed event, so I don't think that this is a regular entree offered at the cafe. The filling was surprisingly spicy! I had to add mayo to cut through some of the spice. I tasted the shrimp and black beans, but nothing really beyond that. The wrap looked pretty and had a lot of potential, but I don't really know what the flavors were. The sweet potato fries were really good. This store always has live music events. There is plenty of outside seating as well as on the second floor of the store. I like how there are trees that provide shading and a park right next to the live music area.
