Central Market

Last time I visited Central Market, I grabbed a fresh salad and a cup of their coffee — both were excellent. The produce section looked beautiful, everything crisp and colorful, and the staff were super helpful. The coffee had that rich, roasted aroma you usually only get at specialty cafés. It’s one of those places where you can feel the quality in every section.

Ya’ll the sandwiches here are too good!! I was fortunate and got Derek as my sandwich maker and he always is the best when making them. Plus he’s friendly and always bring a positive attitude. I mean 8.99 for a monster pesto chicken sandwich beats Jimmy John’s everyday of the week. And don’t get me wrong I love JJs no disrespect.

Very Wow. No telling what you'll see here people in velvet suede slippers, about every ethnicity, many languages spoke. Beautiful well taken care of women shop here. Products and selection were unimaginable for most. This place is nice, nice you'd have to be pretty well off to shop here a lot.

For anyone in Dallas who takes food seriously, Central Market on Lovers Lane is much more than a grocery store; it is a true destination for culinary excellence. The moment you step inside, it is clear that quality and freshness are the top priorities across every single department. The meat and seafood markets are particularly impressive, offering a level of quality that is hard to find elsewhere in the city. The fishmongers and butchers provide an incredible selection of prime cuts and sustainably sourced catches, ensuring that whatever you bring home is of the highest possible standard. This commitment to excellence extends directly into the bakery, where the aroma of artisanal bread fills the air. Every loaf is baked fresh daily, featuring that perfect, crusty exterior and soft, airy middle that rivals the best boulangeries. The deli counter serves as the heart of the store’s prepared offerings, providing a massive variety of meats, cheeses, and chef-prepared sides that never taste mass-produced. Everything feels vibrant and thoughtfully made, which makes it the perfect stop for a quick lunch or a high-end dinner party spread. Of course, no trip to Central Market is complete without picking up a container of Pam’s Pimento Cheese. It has earned its reputation as a local staple for a reason. It strikes the perfect balance between a creamy base and sharp, savory cheddar, making it a versatile treat that works just as well on a gourmet burger as it does on a simple cracker. It is, quite simply, the best pimento cheese in Texas. Central Market on Lovers Lane remains a shining example of what a grocery experience should be, combining an unrivaled selection of fresh goods with a genuine passion for great food.

Variety and freshness in produce has been poor this year. Trying to ask most employee’s anything is like pulling teeth. They seem inconvenienced like you offended them, Especially in the meat department. I called to reserve some short ribs. Man on the phone told me that he did not need to take my order because we had more than enough. When I showed up, they said they were all gone and all they had were the Dino ribs. I mentioned that there were not much meat on those ribs and he informed me that the bone is bigger on that end so there’s less meat and that the next day they would be getting short ribs in so I put in an order. I called to see if the order was filled. They said yes come pick it up whenever you’re ready. I went in and the Dino ribs that had been there from the day before is what they cut down a short ribs for me. There was literally about a quarter inch of meat on the bone no way I could use this as a center of a plate, dinner rib. They could’ve called and let me know that they didn’t get the order of short ribs, but instead they tried to pass off this inferior product on me and hope I wouldn’t know the difference.(I left a picture below of what they were trying to sell me as short rib.) out of the 16 that I ordered there was only about four of them that were decent. I talked to the girl in the Meat department. She said they can never really tell what’s coming in so I had her put a new order in for me. When I was telling her about this, the other man behind the counter was scowling at me with that thousand yard stare. Like I offended someone in his family. I went and spoke with a manager about my concern for getting the product that I needed. And that I had done this four days early that way I could really make sure that I had the product. He passed me along to the meat manager. The meat manager came and listened to what I told him and gave me a bunch of excuses of why they couldn’t get good product in and that they didn’t have any control. Then he promised me that the following day he would make this right and that they would make sure that I had my order. The following day I got a phone call telling me that they could not get my order. Luckily, I had already had an intuition that they were going to let me down, ( this was not my first experience with being let down by this meat department ) and I went to a real butcher. “Deep cuts” in Richardson. They were able to get me what I needed within 10 minutes and it wasn’t even butchered it as of yet. I am sad to say that I’ve seen this Central Market go downhill in over the past couple years, in service and quality and variety. Used to be able to buy hangers steak they don’t carry it anymore, I was able to get veal bones there cannot get them anymore. And when you ask for something that they don’t have the people working behind the meat counter are more than happy to tell you that they can’t get it for you. They seriously look like War torn soldiers that have no life in their eyes anymore. It used to be you were going in there and people in grocery would ask you if you need help now they just put their head down and hope you don’t say anything to them. I don’t know if this store went through a new management, but it used to be a really great place to shop and now I fret every time I know I have to go in there. I shopped there because my clients want me to, but even they say they don’t like going to the store anymore. I’m much rather shop at the one on Midway people there are way better. I have seen the big guns( corporate )in here, standing around staring at counters and displays and talking to each other. And they won’t say anything to you either. You can tell the culture here is horrible place to work. Everybody here looks miserable. Nobody wants to go out of their way at all to help the customer. Actually, there’s been one lady that was in the cheese department who helped me. I don’t remember her name. She spoke broken English, but she went and grated some cheese that they were out of for me and did it with a smile.

Great market, great customer service, particularly Deboria and Betty and Jacob always shine and delight. I knock one star merely for the sake of pickles. They were out of pickles at the burger line: mind you this is the same market where local restaurants will come to restock food items if they run out of stock, so I went and bought a jar of pickles for my burger. A snarky employee mentioned that they should probably just shut down the whole production line, a couple of times he mentioned this. Sushi is always gas, if you need any adjustments the sushi chefs are always lightening fast to accommodate.

Fantastic selection and high-quality products. Everything is wonderful, from fresh produce to gourmet items. The store is clean, organized, and the staff is friendly. However, there's one issue: I always have to wait too long for someone to cut the bread I want. It's a small but consistent frustration. If they could fix this, my shopping experience would be perfect.

We visited Central Market to pick up fresh chocolate croissants and almond croissants, and they were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. They are on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. I came looking for raclette cheese as well, and they have an amazing selection of cheeses from all over the world. The variety is impressive, but the prices are extremely high right now, likely due to tariffs, so we decided to skip the cheese this time. Still, the store offers a great range of products overall, and I can recommend Central Market for high-quality items and excellent bakery treats.

best in dallas--one of my favorite healthy places to shop. people are very nice and helpful. and they have everything i need.

My last update was 2021 but I've been here many times since then. I don't like this store as much as the Plano store, however,it gets the job done. It seems they've recommitted to a full blown " upscale" grocer. For awhile I was wondering if they valued the customer. The one thing that stood out today was,I helped bag my own groceries. While waiting in line I noticed most customers bagging their own. Two reasons this bothers me. 1) I come here and pay premium prices because I don't like to bag 2) the new in town HEB stores( of which own CM) are bagging for you? I'm not so sure the new " Regular" HEB doesn't satisfy my needs just as well as Central Market. I guess only time will tell. For today I have ingredients for a great seafood dinner so I'm happy. But,I've got my eye on you Central Market!

So someone at HEB got on a plane, went to a Stew Leonard's and came back and copied them. Usually, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. While it continues to demonstrate the superiority of everything north East, if you are going to make the attempt, at least make a decent effort. This is HEB in different packaging. Their baked goods are horrible, the produce is mediocre. The selection of groceries is no different than going to Whole Foods and the Tom Thumb across the street. I'll stick with Stew.

Great options for just about anything you are looking for but it is on the very expensive side. Service is second-to-none and the associates working there actually like to be there. Overall, I would continue to shop there when there are sales on the things I'm looking to buy or if I want to splurge on groceries for a dinner party or special meal.

My husbands friend told us about this place. Coming from California and shopping at Whole Foods thought I'd give this place a try.. it was overwhelming with all the items they have in such a small store. The produce section had so many different types of mushroom, egg plants, and other produce stuff. There were so many people in each others way and it was a mess. Pricing is a bit pricy. I'll just stick to Whole Foods.

Delicious grilled cheese panini is always on my mind from the cafe! I add roasted red peppers this time. My niece received the spicy Turkey panini and giving continuously praise about her panini. Awesome sandwiches! Counter Service was wonderful as usual. After we ordered paninis we decided to go shop the market for a few additional items for dinner. Of course we had to visit the heavenly bakery. Always happy to buy fresh organic produce!

Where have you been all my LIFE I'm an avid WF/Sprout/Trader Joe's Girl and was asked by a family friend who knows my relationship with quality organics and one off items that can only be found in certain stores, if I heard of CM.I am new to Texas so I hadn't heard of CM and was pleased when I arrived with my family. Upon entering the staff was friendly and our children were offered balloons. We got a cart and started through veggies, when I say MUSHROOMS GALORE I mean it. They had EVERY mushroom I've searched for and had to go to certain stores for. I get my protein from mushrooms mainly and make anything from vegan steak to vegan chicken to vegan tacos and more. The fresh herbs are amazing as well and come freshly pulled and only need to be added to water once you return home. The meat section is overwhelming for me as I am not a meat eater and some of the FISH displayed is larger than my 5 year old son. My husband dabbles in meat so he enjoys that section. The gelato counter upon exit is the icing on the cake for my children as they work hard to help us with the groceries to expedite the exit at the gelato counter ;-) I can say that CM is a part of our rotation now when it comes to getting groceries. I Just don't appreciate having to pay for the kids fruit section. It's Free at WF, Sprout & TJ's

Central Market has the best bakery in town! Always great produce and smiling friendly people!

As a tourist from Canada, I always love visiting local supermarkets and found this place not too far from our hotel. We like stocking up on snacks for our room and just enjoy checking out different types of food available compared to back home. This supermarket is beautiful, large parking lot, lots of room and so much selection! Upon entering, the first area is for produce, plenty of fruits and veggies, fresh squeezed juice and a real market feel, kind of like Trader Joes's. I could tell this was a higher end store. Once you move through the aisles, there's really everything you could need and more. Large selection of wine and beer, huge cheese counter, deli, butcher and ready made foods. All the fresh items made on site like baked goods or pastas for example looked delicious. We already had lunch but couldn't resist and ordered a serving of mac and cheese and potatoes at the deli counter. There is a sit down area that is conveniently equipped with microwaves, perfect for an employee break or for everyone else who wants a quick lunch. We warmed up the food and it was so tasty. Honestly the supermarket mac and cheese was creamy and rich, one of the best I've ever had! They even had a gelato counter so we shared a bowl. For an elevated grocery experience, Central Market delivers - you aren't just shopping for basic goods, you're finding all kinds of unique items and can enjoy a very good meal either on the spot or to take home. It feels nice to spend time in. Small standout item for me was the bottled water, the selection is very impressive. They have their own store brand of mineral water from Fiji. I have never seen that anywhere!

By far my favorite grocery store in Dallas. Everything is always so fresh, and I mean EVERYTHING. I love how you enter the code onto the machines by the fruits and vegetables and it prints out a label that has the exact price on them so it will not be any surprises at the register. They have a huge variety of different things. It's so easy to get lost in this store by looking at everything because you feel like a kid in a candy store. I like that when getting fresh me and seafood that you have to take a number and they call you so there's no confusion on who is next. Right before you get to the register there's and area where you could get hot food and ice cream which is always a plus if you're like me and refuse to cook after grocery shopping so you can grab food to eat asap.

Why do I love this grocery store so much? There's always something new and interesting! The variety of produce and bakery goods is always amazing. The staff is always friendly and happy to help. I just love the variety here. I cannot get enough of their tropical fruits and wine selection!!

Pricey? Yes...but, as my mother always said, you get what you pay for... Fabulous produce, cheese, seafood...and, oh, the BAKERY! Don't miss their breakfast bread...you will NEVER eat another piece of toast again.

The custom sandwich counter as absolutely fantastic. For less than $10, you can take home a sandwich, with your choice of bread, sauce, meat/alternative, 4 base toppings and a cheese of your choice. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Service is always friendly and attentive.

This is probably my fav grocery store to shop at besides Trader Joe's. This grocery store would be what I miss the most about Texas when I leave.. Also HEB, but Central Market is top tier. Amazing selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. And, so many coffee beans to choose from! Don't skip out this gem if you're in town for a business trip or just for a layover :)

I love the variety of products, groceries items, and food to go at Central Market. All their fresh food is so fresh, clean, and fairly priced. I like how you can weigh your own items and print your sale ticket with their electronic scales. I like to get my lunches for work here. In their to go section, they offer a salad and soup bar, sushi, fried chicken, and a lot of other great lunch options. I like to change it up everyone I go! Probably my favorite are their to go salads. I prefer the Plano location... but this location is nice and spacious as well. Their staff are friendly and helpful.

Used to really like this location. Now not so sure about their prices. They used to be pretty good. Their Ezekiel bread is regularly over a $1 more than other Central Market Dallas locations. I would recommend going to other CM locations.

DOES NOT TAKE APPLE PAY! Don't be like me and have to make them hold my cart for 20 min so I can run home and grab my wallet. So embarrassing!! Lol but of course they were amazing about it. Always the best grocery store with the best seafood and meat!!

Central Market in Dallas is a food lover's paradise, offering an unparalleled selection of high-quality groceries, artisanal products, and gourmet prepared foods. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, encouraging exploration and discovery among the aisles of international and locally sourced items. The service is exceptional, with knowledgeable staff ready to assist and share their passion for food. Whether you're looking for fresh produce, exotic ingredients, or a quick, delicious meal, Central Market caters to every need with excellence, making every visit a delightful experience.

A very cool place to visit. A visit here is truly an experience. From the fresh growing mushrooms, to the fresh fish & meat departments. The way the vegetables were displayed were beautiful.

This place reminds me of a grungy Whole Foods. The produce, and protein are super fresh. The prices did not look as outrageous as Whole Foods. There is a large selection and can be overwhelming! I went during a Sunday evening and it was very busy! The parking lot was pretty full so it may take you a minute if you want the premium spots near the door.

It's a Whole Foods meets Sprouts market. Fresh produce, meats, cheeses. Hot food section for those on the go and want a fresh meal that isn't heavily processed. Prices are reasonable. Ample parking & maybe it was a weird evening. There were soo many birds wailing/screeching flying around. Fortunately, was not bombed by bird poop or attacked by a swirling murder (group the crows) LoL. Cashiers are courteous and polite. Please franchise to California

To stand in a line early on a Sunday morning before the store opens has to say something! Bought a fresh chocolate cake and a little veggie platter for a little pool party and it is gone! Did I mention I was here at 8 am on a Sunday? LoL. I heard this was the place to go when you have guests visiting you in Dallas!

Central Market -- my weekly Go-To! Start in the produce maze to pick up organic veggies and fruits. The selections are abundant and prices are amazing -- love the prepped veggies and fruits, too! Cold-pressed juices, like kale, pineapple, and ginger as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Next, head through the seafood and meat department. I typically buy seafood as it's always fresh. The meat selections are quite impressive, too. Again, priced very well. On to the grocery staples isles where you can find every food and food prep item imaginable -- pastas, sauces, pickled veggies, cookies (they have Lady Walton's!), you'll find chips and chocolates and beverages in this area, also. Around the corner is the frozen section and more staples. Prep some fresh almond butter and pick up dates, apricots, loose teas, and grind some coffee. The frozen selections are plentiful from fruits to veggies, unique ice creams, like Jeni's Skillet Cinnamon Roll, Indian foods, and pizzas (Bola is great). On to the dairy section. They have low fat kefir and my guilty pleasure, Liberte yogurt. Great selection of butters and kombucha teas. Head into the bakery with any bread, cookie, tortilla, and cake imaginable. You can find fresh naan here. Around the corner, a plethora of cheeses followed by the deli section. Head to the self-serve bar where you can find everything -- roasted garlic, grilled artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, Kalamata olives ... Love Dip!, hummus, etc. There is also a salad bar and prepped food section with sizable dinners, salads, soups, take and bake pizza, and desserts. The chef prepared food counter offers some pretty amazing mains and sides, like grilled salmon, lemon rosemary chicken, roasted Brussels sprouts, and steamed veggies. And, a fresh sushi bar. We love their sushi! Grab a lovely bouquet of flowers on your way out. Central Market is a food paradise! It's easy to get lost with all the enticing foods available. Tip -- Go during the week and (have a list) to get in and out in 20-30, and still savor the experience.

So vibrant. Foodies, beer drinkers this is the sunday saturday lunch hangout..... variety

I'm done. Tired of placing orders for delivery via Instacart and much of it shows in stock, but not in stock when order is placed. I might really need 5 things, but pad order with another 10 items. Most of the needed items actually weren't in stock, but the rest are. I'm done with Central Market and Instacart. Monitoring inventory is easy. Apparently fraud and misrepresentation are easier.

If I could give this store negative reviews, I would. I order all the time in their app, and things always say they are I stock when in reality they aren't. Then they switch things for something twice the amount than what you wanted. Number one that's fraud and bait and switch and it's deceptive behavior. They claim it on the system can't keep up with the inventory, then fix it. Stop rehashing the same lie over and over. When a customer only wants a certain amount, don't double the quantity and think it's okay when it isn't. When you call and ask if something is I stock they treat you like an inconvenience not someone who is helping to keep you employed. My most recent experience has been my last. I got a delivery with bread and the damn thing broke my whole tooth. I reported it and they claim the RA person wouldn't be working until Monday, well Monday came and went without a call. I had to call at the minimum 7 times before I got a response and then she treated me like a criminal on the stand. Again no apology for what happened just a shrug off for not responding back to me right away. Then they make me at my cost bring the bread back to the store and no one had the decency to meet me from that department they claim they were on a call, well you can tell that person you will call them back. I guess falling in their parking lot because you're wearing heels and are tired is more important than breaking a tooth. Because that person got numerous calls to see how they were, flowers and their groceries paid for. I got no call or anything. Worst customer service and lack of compassion I have felt in a long time. Stay away and go to Sprouts for half the cost and better customer service.

This store is clean and very easy to navigate ! Easy parking and remember to wear your mask inside! Everyone here is friendly and fast checkout! I particularly went to their cooking school as well as shop!! Cooking school: I went to the jan 12 th demo and dine! It was fabulous!! The two Instructors were absolutely amazing! Both were Knowledgeable & really went into detail about each dish they were presenting! I only paid $45/each for this class(demo and dine) and I bought it off eventbrite! Very easy and when you come just check in! We didn't have to wear mask since seating was 6ft apart but the instructors wore masks! They also had this helper who constantly refilled our water and took our dishes away...oh and refilled our wine which was great! lol! I had such a nice time! And the food was AMAZING! I learned so many new things!! I will be back to the school and shop!!

Still one of my favorite pastimes, shopping at Central Market! They are in full fall swing with their pumpkin patch and photo backdrops for those in the mood to take some flicks! We recently discovered the "local biz" tags on almost each different aisle of products to purchase in order to support local! Go Central Market! We also enjoy the cafe and baked goods.

Central Market is probs my fave grocery store in the area. Love that it's Texas local and features soooooo many Texas local products. Of course I'm usually at the Fort Worth location, sometimes Southlake. I've never been to the Lovers Lane locale until now, and of course it's just as lovely as the others. Although the people shopping inside were definitely not as friendly or jovial as those at my Fort Worth hub... the patrons here seemed kinda crabby and in a hurry. If you're in a crabby hurry, shop online. Central Market is made to enjoy! I could walk around forever. Walk around forever I did. The produce alone is so pretty and colorful. The floral department makes gorgeous bouquets. The cheese displays are beautiful. The bakery department smells heavenly. Wine wine wine. Beer beer beer. Gluten free and vegan and veggie and keto and sugar free and whatever-else-options-galore. Serve yourself coffee beans, spices, nuts, candy, seeds. And seasonal stuff! Pumpkin Spice is everywhere right now, which is fine by me. And there's basically an entire pumpkin patch out front with every species of pumpkin imaginable. Don't forget the prepared food section... pizza, fried chicken, enchiladas, dumplings, meatloaf, soups, grilled fish, the most beautiful salad bar, sushi rolls! Everything is chef prepared and lovely. Don't forget dessert.

Hands down the best grocery store in Dallas. They seafood counter is second to none, the wine area makes you wonder if you're still in a grocery store. The bulk foods are great and very well priced. They also have their in-house nut butters, some of which you can grind yourself. The coffee selection is great too. The cheese section and bakery is just like no other grocery store you've ever been in. I love the design of the store itself also. It's designed to go through in one direction starting in produce and ending in the floral department(bonus- they have $1 roses on Tuesday). The layout design can take some getting used to especially if you shop without a list. If you're coming on a Saturday or Sunday morning, don't be alarmed by the parking lot, the checkout is fast and most lanes are opened. No self checkout and they have baggers to help you bag or totally bag your items. The people who go to this store are nice enough to put carts back where they belong too. This was longer than I thought it was going to be, but this is the most terrific grocery store experience one could ever have.

I've been ska long time customer at this Centroa Market location. Lover's Lane. Never had issues with any staff until today. Store was super busy when I was there, and since I only had 10 items inside mu cart, I've decided to use the self check lane. I do know and am very aware that the staff do make sure that every cart has 15 items of less when you wait in line. As I was checking out, I head this lady who "ousted" me accusing me of having more than 15 items and I should not use the self checking service. I felt embarrassed and horrified because she accused me on front of other customer at the self check out area . Her tone of voice was not very polite and professional and even came as a bully to me the way she treated her fellow staff. I immediately asked her to come back and count my items. She refused, and then accused me of something like "I had too many grocery bars and there's more than 15 items" and waked off. I asked for her name and she said "Amanda" not sure because she had a mask on. Enclosed is a pic of her and where she's standing, I'm sure she saw my cart with my items. Also is the receipts that shows that I only had 10 items. I hope the company will teach their staff to have a more polite and professional approach and not embarrassed their customers. I strongly suspect she picked me because I'm old and I'm Asian. That's why I'm giving ONE start because I could not give ZERO star.

For all my east coast/NYC peoole, this has to be the closest thing to a Wegmans and Fairway in one. I'm in love. I love the variety in produce, grains, pastries, hot food and more the store offers. The best part is the gelato station before checkout. I buy a tin that I can store in the freezer to enjoy whenever for a relatively good price. Sometimes there's samples while walking around which is always nice. The only downside is the horrid smell I get in the meat and seafood section. I really want to get quality meat and seafood but I can't stand the smell. Definitely my new staple grocery store!

This is my favorite store. I have not been to their newest location, but prefer this layout than the one up north off Coit. Service is amazing and the breakfast tacos are delicious. The cherry Danish was good but I recall them being a bit bigger the last time I tried them. Coffee is decent and enjoyable to have on a day like this.

Can be crowded over the weekend, but such a wide variety of products! I was in from out of town and was impressed by service, choices and so much to look at!

Every time I try to shop this store they're out of stock on over half the items on my shopping list. I've expressed this feedback to an MOD who assured me that the manager for the product lines that are always out of stock would contact me, but no one called me.

Do not buy ANY sweet potato pies from this location!!! I noticed that ALL the sweet potato pies looked "significantly darker" than the pumpkin pies and seems as if all the sweet potato pies appeared to be "crumbly"/"coming apart" in comparison to all of the different type of pumpkin pies this location offered. Normally, when a "good" sweet potato pie is made, you can't tell the difference between the two in color until you taste them. I gave this store the benefit-of-the-doubt and purchased two of them on Tuesday, November 21, 2023 to bring over on Thanksgiving for my family to have after Thanksgiving dinner. On Thanksgiving Day, we open a box and cut a slice and could HARDLY taste any sweet potato in the pie. Whatever OTHER ingredients put in this pie, sweet potato apparently wasn't the MAIN INGREDIENT. I got a slice and did NOT like it. The rest of my family tasted the pie and did not like their slices as well. So whatever crew was baking these pies at the Lovers Lane location did a PI$$ POOR job on these pies. If this location/company, does understand how to bake a sweet potato, THEN DON'T BAKE ONE/ANY! NEWSFLASH: As of 11-26-2023, my nephew texts me a picture of the same Central Market sweet potato pies that he was throwing away because they had mold on them. I'm never buying ANY pies from this company (Central Market) or any company affiliated with them ever again!

Best supermarket in town. One of the best Central Market in Dallas area too. Love their fresh salad bar area and deli foods section. Got all the exotic fruits from all over the world. This place is the only place that you need to be when you need to shop for groceries. However, they need to add more savory bread selections! Too many sweets.

Going to my MIL's house and I drive right by the CM on Lovers. So I picked up a few ingredients to make my Hubby's favorite salad. Emerald Kale Salad. Here's my recipe: EMERALD KALE SALAD Ingredients: Dressing: 2/3~Cup Peanut Oil+2 tsp 1/4~Cup Rice Wine Vinegar 2~TBSP Lemon Juice, divided 2~TBSP honey 2~TBSP Soy Sauce 2~tsp Garlic Powder 1~tsp Creekside Seasoning* 1~tsp Worcestershire Sauce 1~tsp Sesame Oil Salad: 4-5~Cups finely shredded curly kale 1/2~Cup Dry-Roasted Peanuts, chopped 1/2~Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated Instructions: Dressing: Mix 2/3 cup peanut oil, vinegar, 1 TBSP lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, Creekside Seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, & sesame oil into a jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake till thoroughly combined. Salad: Combine kale, 2 tsp of oil & 1 TBSP of lemon juice in a large bowl. Massage the kale mixture for 2-3 minutes. This breaks down the kale, softens the kale for your palate. Add the chopped peanuts, Parmesan cheese, dressing and toss to coat. Let salad sit for a couple of minutes for flavors to blend. Bon Appetit' 4-6~Servings *The Creekside Seasoning is Available Under the Miscellaneous Album. Also, in the Summer, when I have fresh herbs in my garden, I add 2 TBSP each of mint & cilantro to this yummy salad.

I never write reviews for anything on here but i just felt so bothered by the horrible customer service in this location . I asked two employees in two different occasions about the cost of an orange juice bottle since the price tag was nowhere to be found. (trust me when I say I searched carefully to be sure that I wasn't going to ask an obvious question.) They both responded really rudely and loud about "Not working in this department" & "I don't know lady" with an aggressive tone. The problem isn't that they didn't work for that department and didn't know about the price BUT the way they behaved in such a improper manner. They could have just politely said they didn't work for the damn department and referred to us to someone who did, Its not that difficult. Ive had rough days at work but I never spread such negativity to customers. Yes, I understand customer service is difficult because of certain individuals BUT I was in nowhere disrespectful to these employees. Bless their hearts.. lol.

Wish I lived closer I love this grocery store! They always carry the hard to find items my husband and I are looking for.

Super fresh ingredients. I love the international items that is hard to find in america. Cookies and pastries from Europe and some sauces from Asia you can find here! I get my seafood from here. It's reasonable price

I had never understood the popularity of this brand until I actually went to the store. Holy moly. They do EVERYTHING here. I just wanted some bread and they have the best selection of anything you can think if. It's such a great layout for a store. Everything is so accessible. The prices are only marginally higher but the experience is truly unparalleled. Wow! I don't think this will be where I do my weekly shopping but it is definitely going to be a monthly treat store from now on. I loved it!

When you're bored with your run-of-the-mill grocery store, you can go shopping at Central Market. I've been around a bit, but I was blown away be this place. More choices of coffee, wine, peppers, apples, etc., etc. than you can find in most grocery stores anywhere. Folks were really nice, and I was splitting time between shopping and sightseeing. Parking is easy and there's lots of it. Lots to see and learn, make sure your phone is charged so you can look things up when you have a question. And HAVE FUN!!

Just went to central market for the first time. I moved recently from California to Texas. This reminded me of a Whole Foods type of market. Great selection and good prices.

I'll confess, no torture required. I can be quite snobby when I indulge my taste buds. At this large Central Market, I tend to just shop the bakery, cheese shop and beer shop. I carb out on their usually good bavarian rye and Russian rye. They have many others, but I am always seen walking out with a heavy crusted rye. I can eat fine English Stiltons, Wensleydales, and aged white cheddars for 6 meals a day. They almost always have blueberry Stilton and a wide variety of cheddars. There are some fine ports and many French cheeses. As for beers, they may not have the widest selection but they were able to order my favorite Danish Tuborg beer. My last trip, it was a Russian Rye, a Swiss and a Dutch smoked Gouda. Pricey and plenty of other snobby and narrow focused customers, but I'll be back!

I really enjoy this specific location, it's very nostalgic bc this is the very first gourmet grocery store where I bought all my cooking ingredients and I have always enjoyed coming here for the bulk buys and a lot of their meal prep items too.

There is no grocery store in the state of Texas that is worthy of comparison when it comes to Central Market! From fresh produce to the freshly baked sour cream cake, you cannot not go wrong! Yes, some believe that Central Market is a bit on the pricier side (I've definitely gotten ice cream cheaper elsewhere), but honestly, the price is worth it when it comes to their variety of food selections and overall cleanliness and layout of their store. I've not had one bad experience!

One of the best of all the grocery stores we frequent. Best bakery, too. Even though it's a little further out of our way (Whole Foods is only 2 min. away compared to here which is 10-15) it's always worth it. Their cake slices are a guilty pleasure. Rotisserie chickens are flavorful and fresh. Amazing soups and ready-to-cook dishes, too.

Central Market takes the cake for cakes. Today I got a mini Chocolate Mousse cake and Strawberry Cake single slice fo me, myself, and I LOL. Both were divine, especially together. The chocolate is on the darker side and the mousse is aerated and fluffy. It wasn't too sweet, but the Strawberry Cake is plenty sweet so they balance each other nicely. The Strawberry cake is heavy though, and the buttercream is a bit too thick and rich for my personal taste! I prefer Central Market's Tres Leches cake, one of the best I've ever had - so ethereal and fluffy...Thanks for the sweet treats; I'll be back for more cake and groceries!

Ok, so this may make us sound old, but going to Central Market is like one of our favorite weekend places. We can never walk through the doors without grabbing a seasonal Favorite. And checking the cooking school board, I SO want to take a class! All year long you can find all the "pretty pretty produce". We love going to pick something new to us to try from the produce area. We always need a fresh loaf of bread as well, the smells alone there is worth the trip! Then the cheese section...no words can relay how amazing this area is. And the staff in the beer/wine area are always helpful. From the perfect charcuterie to the perfect hostess gift you have it all in the one stop shop. And then how do you not grab flowers while I'm the check out line. They are stunning! #yelpdfwfallgiveaway.
