This is my new favorite place to eat when I'm on a budget. Their deli has a beautiful assortment of healthy American fare with fresh ingredients, all with large portions on top of that. I'm shocked I got all of this for 38 bucks! I have enough for leftovers for the next day. I also love the grocery store because of the great customer service and beautiful displays of foods.

I come here often for the food at the café during live music nights, and the pizza never disappoints. It has the perfect thin crust and an ideal ratio of cheese to toppings. The size is just right for a single hungry person--satisfying without being overly filling. Given the quality of the pizza, $10-12 is a great price!Parmesan and chili flakes are available at the self-serve bar, and the fresh-baked pizza comes out quickly, too! I also love that they take your number and send text updates, so you can find a table instead of standing around waiting at the counter.

First time going to Central Market, i like the displays and how they sell their mushroom and youre able to see them grow in the fridges! they have a variety of everything seafood, bakery, deli and even a cafeteria type food area with soups salads sandwiches, chicken, ect. they even had gelato! my son got the blue one which i believe was called unicorn dream (had star sprinkles on top). although its a little more pricey than a regular HEB it is still super worth it! the grocery store itself is designed almost like an ikea in a sense that you follow the aisles and it takes you through each section. the workers there were also super helpful and understanding when my child wanted to try EVERY flavor ever made of gelato .

When I say I wish I could shop here daily! The quality and the items and the setup are perfect! Service is amazing from looking for something new to picking out seafood and meats! I love how you can hand pick flowers and they wrap them for you making it so unique and special. Also love the cafe the salads and daily specials are so delicious. My go-to is the steak salad I cannot get enough! It's a great everyday spot where you can grab a bite and work at the same time or just meet with some friends to catch up. You can always catch me here weekly

I don't live too close to any central market, but I do enjoy shopping here. So when I come, I try to stock up on staples. I think their prices are fair. And they do offer a lot more specialty items, like mushrooms, and cold pressed juices, and a variety of other items. I feel like there are little more plentiful in the organic items, and carry more fruit options. The store is pretty well maintenance and the isles are clean. I saw a few employees out either stocking shelves or talking with customers. They have a fruit stand for the kids right at the door, a small donation is asked in the form of a jar, the honor system. My cashier was friendly, and the young man that bagged my groceries was a Tetris genius. Next time I need some restocking of staples, I will surely come back

Great place for all things organic and healthy foods. Central Market also has a lot of plant based meats like chicken and beef, ready to eat and can be incorporated in your meals directly. I also really like the bakery and patisserie section, so many delectable pastries and fresh baked goods.Some basic grocery items like plain yogurt and varieties of bread were missing so had to go to another store to pick those up. Also got mangoes from here this time and they were all rotten so disappointed with that :/

I love their cafe - they pull a mean espresso shot, latte/mochas are great. The gelato is delicious and inexpensive - my favorite in Austin so far. They also have a breakfast/food counter which have tacos and sandwiches but I have never tried. And its Central Market, what's not to love - a wide range of specialty foods, imports and bulk section. They also sell flowers and lots of freshly made pastries/bakery section.

We often do remote Fridays here because the chai latte and breakfast is so good. We either do oatmeal with fruit or pancakes.The internet is spotty sometimes and there are no outlets to plug in so come with a full battery. The staff is always friendly and the booth and tables are spacious.

If you combined the upscale ambiance and boutique brands of Whole Foods with the down-to-earth sensibilities and more affordable pricing of HEB, you'd get Central Market. Central Market is in fact part of the HEB family, so you'll see some of the same product there, making this easy one-stop shopping. The produce section is unbeatable for quality, and also diversity, stocking some more niche items like makrut lime leaves or puffball mushrooms. In fact, they grow some of their own mushrooms onsite, which is crazy cool.The real crowning jewel here is the completely meatless butcher counter. They're making their own plant-based meats from scratch, including bacon, brisket, chorizo, and so much more. It's a vegan paradise where they'll even slice your order on demand and price it by the pound. You can make a whole day of it at the cafe, or grab a beer on tap to take the edge off. I've legit gone on dates here and not been mad about it. Grocery shopping and drinks? Yes, I'm always down.
