Pullman Market

How to Make the Most of a Day at San Antonio’s Pullman Market  | Eater Austin

"Relatively new to the Pearl District yet already woven into the neighborhood’s rhythm, this 40,000‑square‑foot specialty grocer, whole‑animal butcher, sourdough bakery, chef supply shop, and food hall—set in the former Samuels Glass Co. building and opened in April 2024 by Austin‑based Emmer & Rye Hospitality—hums with train‑like precision and rewards a step‑by‑step visit. Entering from Karnes Street brings a burst of Texas‑sourced produce and a showstopping floral section, daily‑baked sourdough and fresh baguettes that fly off the shelves, pantry staples alongside a tortillera and ceviche stand, a seafood and butcher counter with dry‑aged Texas cuts on display, and a curated wine aisle featuring the market’s first‑ever rosé. For easy entertaining, there are prepackaged tubs of Mezquite’s signature salsas, Tajín‑dusted tortilla chips cooked in beef tallow, beers, hummus, dips, and sweet treats like oversized monster cookies, and the visit ends best at the ice cream stand with chicken‑stock caramel swirl ice cream or a Guyanese‑style float." - Kat Stinson
