Central Market Cafe

You may be surprised but the Central Market Cafe has great food and surprisingly good value. I ordered the pork belly bahn mi which was a daily special and I must say it was tremendously delicious. The pork was tender and well flavoured, and the sandwich was filled with fresh vegetables that complement it well. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries that came with it as they were fresh and still had a bit of a crisp to them. I also tried some of the Rustic pizza which I preferred over Mod Pizza. The toppings were fresh and the crust was the perfect texture. Overall I would recommend eating at Central Market when grocery shopping or not.

Margarita pizza was underwhelming. Lacking any seasoning and was pretty undercooked🤢 would not order again.. French fries are good for the price but pizza is a no go.

Firts time here we tried cm burguers very good but we tried the pizza and to be honest that’s so nasty 🤮 that pizza make sick I got a lot intestinal pain after I eat that pizza 😞

The central market Café is on the right hand side of Central market as you walk in. There’s basically a restaurant that serves food, and right next to it there is coffee, tea, smoothies, and gelato. The food there is excellent, and everything is very fresh. The central market burger, and the salmon salad Are the best. There’s a lot of outdoor seating when the weather is good and sometimes there is live music as well.

$9 veggie sandwich. (I am vegan, so no cheese or pesto for me). The Rosemary bread is a bit dry, but the veggies are delicious, although there were not many veggie pieces. Also, I wish they didnt use Single Use Plastic - I sat outside & ate my food & didn't need the plastic container- what a waste.

Friday evening filled with live Latin music and dancing. The food was fresh and delicious. The portion sizes are larger than expected considering the reasonable price. The pizza was $10-$12. I thought it be a small flatbread but it was a medium sized pizza! Nice 😊

There of us ordered CM burger - all there were dry and lifeless. Neither of us finished it - and I hate to waste food… I liked the outdoor atmosphere but will stay away from cafe food.

We’re longtime fans of Central Market in Dallas and Fort Worth, but this Austin café was a huge disappointment. I ordered a sandwich and was met with curt responses and no flexibility, which was fine but then I overheard staff in the back complaining about our order and even mocking my husband’s outfit when he picked up the food. Completely unprofessional and unwelcoming. We left feeling uncomfortable and disrespected, which is the opposite of the experience we’ve always had at other locations.
