I've came here many times over the years. It's always consistent. I've lived in the south mostly so it's definitely location wise. Good for me, but the store is always clean. Everything is always consistent as central market does along with new things and pop-ups along the way and everybody loves to have a free tasting. I'll come here often but most definitely come in heavy when it's special occasion because the butcher counter seafood counter, you can't be anywhere will definitely continue to come back and enjoy the great service as they help you with everything in the store..

I've always loved central market but don't come here terribly often since it's kind of out of the way for me. That said, this place is GREAT, especially for pre-cooked foods. Their deli has a huge selection of really tasty pasta, veggie, and meat options (eg loaded baked potatoes, pasta salads, etc), as well as a soup bar with like 8-10 options (and recently while it was cold I went to get soup and the area was swarming with people also getting soup). They also have really high quality deli items like cheeses which are located right next to the deli and of course there's a counter that does classics (eg burgers, grilled cheese, etc). When I went a couple days ago, they also had a live band playing jazz music! That was in the afternoon on Sunday. The server was also very attentive and sweet.

The best grocery store in Austin. It’s definitely worth the trip. Just bought some amazing wild caught salmon… absolutely delicious. You gotta come here over Whole Foods trust me Whole Foods is just clocking it in at this point

Sad to say but this must be the worst Central Market in Texas - it's just never well-stocked, the shelves are always half bare, out of many specialty items, and the produce section is also sub-par compared to the most basic HEB. Meat section as well is smaller and less well stocked than the other Central Market and all HEB. Sadly, 1 star for S Lamar!

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.

I can definitely tell that this location went downhill. Ambiance is not as used to be and layout of the store is a bit confusing. I remember going there so many times like 10-12 years ago, it was so much better, including environment and clientele. I prefer north Lamar location over this one.

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.

The new take home meal that is part of Passaporte Portugal is amazing! The roasted linguica sausage with potato and onions. The veggies were incredible, the shredded carrot mix. Lots of vinegar. Try this meal before it’s gone!

An amazing specialty grocery in South Austin, Central Market continuously delivers 5 stars! This location is always full of fresh inventory and super-staffed! Unlike most other groceries where you have to search and search across the entire store to find an available, helping employee, Central Market always has a plethora of available, smiling staff in-store and within eye view distance. They have self-serve checkout that is monitored and makes for an easy, quick checkout experience. While on the pricier side, you really get what you pay for here in the food quality. This store is the most reliable locally in South Austin that has the more niche, finer ingredients for elevated or advanced home-cooking. Both their produce and meat are unmatched in both their selection ++ quality. They also have the best plant-based protein and ready-made meals you can get in a local grocery! And I'd be remiss not to mention their insanely wide, wonderful Mushroom section, featuring in-house grown mushrooms. In addition, they have a grande selección of premade, ready-made dinners and meals. Last but certainly not least, their salad and hot bars are alive + running once again, post-COVID!! It's not surprising this specialty grocery store is owned and operated by our Texas-favorite, H-E-B, as they always have unique, yummy offerings only found here!
