“Holy church crowd..pun intended lol I had never seen a Trader Joe's so crowded, ever! It was Sunday afternoon and an employee said "Sunday after church shopping". Amazingly, despite the huge crowd the checkout line/service was so quick and efficient! Stopped in for some quick snacks! Definitely gotta give TJ's all the credit! Staff was on it!”

“I came for some bread & left with a lot more than just...bread. *winkIf I had to describe Central Market, I could do it in 3 words. This is the UPSCALE TRADER JOES. Maybe even Whole Foods on some level. Don't expect this to meet your expectations for your local HEB. It won't. That said, it's a classier, far more expensive supermarket...but the variety is OH MY GOD. Like other reviewers have stated, if you are looking for that ONE ingredient that seems impossible to find, you have a darn good chance at finding it here. Walking through the aisles, I could tell that Central Market carries QUALITY ingredients. There was many different "areas" depending on what you are looking for which made it easier to get what you need, but it was still nice to roam. We mainly came for their SOURDOUGH bread but unfortunately we didn't get the plain one. I LOVE that I finally found a place that carries ELLENOS yogurt (Marionberry is the best flavor, imo)...and I'll be back even if it's just for this particular item. All in all, I could spend a good two hours going from place to place in this market.”

“7/25/23- I would like to update my review. The store manager Tangela, personally reached out to me and sincerely apologized on behalf of the employee. She made me feel acknowledged and heard, which I appreciated very much. I did go back to the store with my children and Tangela made sure we had a pleasant shopping experience. She made it clear that this will not happen again to me or anyone else. I can see how much she truly values her position and this company. Thank you, Tangela.7/20/23 1star-This employee shouted at me and my 6 year old daughter when we walked into the store at 9:50 “FIVE MINUTES!!” When it in fact was not 5 mins till closing. She then proceeded to shout from across the store “WE NEED TO CLOSE!!!” After about 3 mins of us looking for what we needed. Then she followed us and continued to shout they were closed at 9:57 and that I need to hurry up. I started to record because she was scaring my daughter and making her extremely nervous and to also show how she was acting towards a customer that just needed to pop in for a quick snack and baby diapers. On my video you can hear her phone alarm go off at 10pm when I was already checking out at the register. I’d like to warn others about how this store treats their customers and how their core values mean absolutely nothing to them. This rude, and disrespectful woman should be ashamed of herself. What’s even worse is that this isn’t the first time this same woman has acted with disgust with her job. She always has an attitude anytime I’ve visited this establishment. Shame on this store for continuing to allow her to work here.”

“Trader Joe's is a nice store. It's clean and very healthy. The service is awesome, and it has new selections each week. We bought an organic carrot juice that tasted so good! It had the clean drink taste but that is what you can expect at Trader Joe's: the very best. My only complaint is there's only one and the parking lot is always packed because of the location.”

“Wonderful service.Was helped by Christina and she was great,very friendly and helpful with all my questions and she was very informative.There was no wait and place was very cleaned and well stocked.Will be coming here from now on.”

“Such a clean and organized smaller HEB. Everyone was so friendly, including the cashier. It's almost like a little mini convenient store. We usually stay at a hotel nearby when visiting come here every time we visit San Antonio for snacks and fuel.”

“I got to the Botanical Gardens earlier than usual today, so it was time for lunch when I left. I like to find "new to me" places to eat in that area instead of going back home and re-visiting the same old places. I was definitely in the mood for either Korean or Indian food, so I did a "Korean food near me" search in Apple Maps and the Korean Market was only about 4.8 miles away, so I didn't even bother looking for anywhere else. The restaurant is actually in a fairly large Korean market. I was shocked by how small it is. There are eight tables crammed into a very small room. You really have to squeeze through to get to your seat. I felt guilty because there was only one table for four left. I sat there for a few minutes before I realized nobody was coming to take my order. I asked a lady at a neighboring table, and she told me I needed to go up and order at the window. They had a nice sign over the window with the menu. It didn't have Korean names for some of the dishes. There were descriptions like: Blackbean Sauce with Noodles, which I assumed was jajangmyeon. There were plenty of good things to choose from like bulgogi, kimchi fried rice, and kimchi pancakes. The lady who told me where to order had been raving with a man at table by her about the Spicy Seafood with Noodles. I decided to order that. It turned out to be a HUGE bowl of soup loaded with shrimp, crab, octopus, squid, vegies, and noodles. The broth was absolutely delicious. It tasted of the sea. I was in heaven, although it was hot as hell! It was so hot that I had to let it cool down because the noodles hanging down from the chopsticks were burning my chin! The soup was served with four side dishes. They were kimchi, spicy cucumber, fish cakes, and pickled radish. Each was portioned perfectly in one of those little checkered paper things that french fries used to come in way back. (I did notice that a Korean man who by all appearances was visiting from Korea, got his served in silver trays.) No biggie. When I finished eating, I bussed my own table. They have signs on the walls letting you know that there is no staff to clean up after you, and you are expected to clear your own mess. I am fine with that. I wandered around the market for a while. I saw a lot of things I wanted to buy, but I have a friend visiting for a week and don't think I will have time to cook anything. I did grab some single-serve instant Tteok-bokki. I will definitely be back to eat here in the future and try some other dishes. I think I can figure out what some of them are from the description. But, just to be sure, I'll learn how to pronounce my favorites and ask if they have them.”

“Only store I found open on Thanksgiving day. Also, register machine didn't got discounts right, but after i told the cashier, he was very kind to help me and get it right.”

“I happened upon this place as I was leaving Sprouts, and I am so happy to have discovered it! It is a small store (smaller than a convenience store), but it has so many interesting European items! They have a wide selection of German chocolates, packaged and freezer packaged desserts, pasta, canned items, frozen entrees, deli meats, snacks, fresh bread, and cookies! A friendly customer walked me around the store and gave me her recommendations. I tried a sparkling rye drink and black currant sponge cookie snack! Both were very delicious. I am excited to go back to try their dried/canned food and jams! Some of the products don't have prices, but the owners and employees are always nearby so you can ask them for the price!”

“I live by Northstar Mall and there are plenty of places I can get breakfast or Meat but will make the trip to the south side! Great place and every year I go buy 50lbs menudo from there for our new year’s celebration! Looking forward to it every year!”

“Greatly and nicely expanded. Just about anything you might want (excepting the ever-popular Mint Syrup). Decent produce, meats and dry goods/jars/canned foods. Love it here! (Good place to practice French with many African Country Folk!!!).”

“There's such a wide variety of products!What i really enjoy the most is a worker named Denise. She is always so friendly and patient. She really goes out of her way to keep us customers happy ? I love it when she's working”

“The dollar general store has a wonderful manager and great all the customers that come to the store ??? stock items and very well to shop what you look for ???? so stop by the store”

“I don’t even go to Lanier, but I love their burgers! The fam that runs it are super nice too. So happy this burger joint is in my neighborhood and it’s endearing to see the kids have this spot as a hangout for them.”

“I love my dollar general ❤️They are always so friendly. My buddy’s there do everything they can to help people. even when there are people who think the workers are to immature . Haha now day’s you have Karen’s who can’t say what they want to say when they’re there at the store they have to go Vent all over on a review . I don’t know about making you feel uncomfortable I have never felt uncomfortable even at that I take my dog and to the store and they welcome us with open arms. my dog and I Have never felt uncomfortable at this store. And well sorry do you blame them for following people around when they’ve been hit so many times by thieves . I would do the same thing to . I don’t even work there and I still follow people around I make sure that the store is good so that way the workers don’t have to do it. you get these lowlife people who walk into the store and open things as if they’re going to paying for it. they eat it they walk around the store and then they leave it there for the workers to clean up that is not their job. So cut them some slack man and just chill ? Hey buddy I got You Wink Wink ?”

“One of the cleanest DG’s I’ve ever seen. Usually you go into a DG with fear that the stock may cave in on you and you’ll be trapped forever. This one is kept clean as possible. The staff is nice as possible. The customers might stab you. But I’m pretty sure the staff would at least call 911 to get you help before posting it on Facebook Live. Still have to say one of the best Dollar Generals on the South Side of San Antonio.”

“Really affordable priced fruit!! They even had some seasonal fruit and grinded seasonings. I must’ve got there early because I was gonna order agua frescas from the stand inside but they only had lemonade. It was so good though I didn’t mind ? definitely recommend stopping by! This is what I got for $39. Also if prices are higher than competitors, they are willing to price match. Support local businesses!”

“Could be a little more organized could definitely use a little more space it's a little cluttered especially when they get there deliveries and restocking shelves most of the people that work there are nice. They do have a good variety of stuff food snacks other things I think all in all they just need a bigger building if they could expand. They're in a good location.”

“Great place to shop. These employee's don't get paid enough. They were dealing with a ridiculous customer gracefully and professionally . Please people be good to the worker's that show up to serve you. Everyone is short staffed and struggling enough to put up with nonsense.The store was very clean . Service was great.I wish this location was in my neighborhood.”

“I really like this place, since I can buy products of Central American origin...And it's incredible... Thank you, Tienda Centroamericana, for making us a center at home..”

“This place probably the friendliest spot to buy Texas scratch offs from and they have a big 60inch TV identifying the next ticket number. Pickles and Chinese candy are off the chain. And the employees are super cool. God be blessing Palo Alto with convenience when it comes to this tieñdita 4-real”

“The lady was very kind , the ramen are worth the price. The snacks there are amazing?, and it's cheap while the other asian markets are expensive, this will be my go to store?”

“If you easily get overwhelmed by large grocery stores and prefer a smaller experience, try another HEB. H-E-B is known for its private label selection, which includes organic and lower-cost products, in which this store has plenty of. My favorite part of this store, hands down, is the fresh food/kitchen. Their baked potato covered with brisket is phenomenal!”

“I would like to say that this was a better experience than most dollar generals I've been too. The workers were more than nice and willing to help look for products for customers. Extremely helpful and also real are words I would use to describe the workers. Thanks again to the two workers that night. Will be coming back again”

“It is great to now have more options for groceries in this area. We needed something like this. Sprouts always has the best options when it comes to organic produce. They also have extras that you can't find in your local grocery store and ready to eat meals. Yes, sometimes it could be more expensive. Best is to take advantage of their sales. They also send coupons in the mail every so often where you get so much off when you buy so much. This location is big and spacious inside. It looks modern and clean. Don't forget to bring your re-usable bags. Parking is on site, but shared with the other businesses. I've never had an issue with parking.”

“Has been such a convenience since they built this place. Right down the street from our house and it's actually made us rather spoiled because of its close proximity. Service is always great and I enjoy when I'm surprised with food samples in the fruit/vegetable section”

“Very efficient. Friendly staff who actually are sanitizing as people come in and out. And only 2 people at a time. Love how they are handling things during this time.”

“Clerk is all smiles and friendly. The store is always fully stocked and pretty clean. A little pricey to that of Valero on smokes and beer but well stocked and cold! No fountain drinks here at all. They sell pipes and other such items like utility knives, jewelry, sunglasses, perfumes, baseball caps, etc.”

“I love this dollar general when savannah is working she always helps me out brings me carts when my hands are full and always asks me if I need help she needs to be upgraded to a higher position she is worth it.”
