I love this Consentino's Market! It is located in the Power & Light District in Kansas City, MO Downtown off 13th and Main St. I would highly recommend coming here if you work downtown and want to grab some quick food or if you are visiting or staying downtown. Inside the market, there is a corner of Kansas City souvenirs such as t-shirts, hats, key chains, shot glasses, postcards, etc. They also have a small floral section, hot/cold deli with freshly made foods, a big salad bar, nice/fancy bakery section, alcohol aisles, produce area, meat and poultry department. They also have plenty of checkout registers and seating areas on both sides of the store. One seating area is upstairs that is nice to eat at and hangout during lunch/dinner, you can see the whole store from above. You would have to buy something from the market and have your receipt out just in case a worker goes around asking to verify that you are a customer there.
From working downtown at several companies, Cosentino's Market is a go-to place to grab a quick lunch, however, I would be careful going there often, the food either from the deli or bakery could be pricey, depending on what you get, it usually adds up to $8-$15 per meal if you are planning to get food from there everyday.
It is usually crazy busy around 11am to 2pm for lunch time. Any other days it would be slow or busy, depending on the events going on downtown. The workers there are nice sometimes, I usually go to the bakery or the hot deli to get food and dessert. I love going there for the fried chicken, salad bar, and pasta station. Also, I love the shrimp salad and deviled egg potato salad in the cold deli. From the bakery, my all-time favorite is the Chocolate-covered Strawberries ($1.50 each). They also have beautifully designed cakes with fresh fruit, brownies, Christopher Elbow fancy chocolates, cookies, danishes, and other pastries that are all great.
They do have a parking garage next to the market with the entrance on Main or Walnut street that you can park for free within 2 hrs. You will have to pull a ticket and get it validated at the register during checkout or customer services.
