This is my favorite grocery store. Just a much better version of HEB with such beautiful and interesting fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and mushroom. The only downside is that most of the customers are rude and inconsiderate jerks.

This was our first time at the central market. Talking about an amazing amount of cool foods and so many specialty items. We were overwhelmed, but it was the most amazing way. Well worth the trip . Great selection of fruits, vegetables, as well as coffee pastries, fresh tortillas, and fresh bread. We'll definitely be going back.

Love the store and it’s nice to see it’s finally getting a facelift. However, the bathrooms seemed to have been forgotten about but I will assume these will also be overhauled. It’s absolutely filthy; it looks like a truck stop bathroom in here.

Always a wonderful selection of groceries, foods, lunches, and more at Central Market. Every now and then their items have a theme such as “tropical” or “citrus” where items such as their sausages and gelato have a citrus theme. You can find samples around the store that match this theme and I have never been disappointed in their themed item samples. You can also get lunch and dinner here with their pizza, salad, and sandwich making area. They offer many different toppings and ways you can make your sandwich and they always taste good! I highly recommend tryin the sweet potato fries.

I was browsing the produce section this evening for about 6-10 minutes, when a very nice young lady Mariana offered to let me sample a few of the fruits and citrus. I had no idea Central Market offered this in the produce section and it was such a pleasant experience! Mariana was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all of my questions. I got to try the Ponderosa Lemon; Lavender Gem; and Mandarinquat. Mariana has been with Central for over 2 years and it really showed :) This is one of the best experiences I’ve had as a customer at Central Market and I have Mariana to thank! I felt looked after and like a part of the Central Market Community. Thank you so much for the hospitality; positivity and kindness! I’ll definitely be back with more questions: :)!

I had a curbside order today. At pick up they were running a little behind and an employee came out to give us the update and both sparkling/bottled water. SO kind! I felt very cared for. Thank you Central Market. I will most definitely be back.

Central Market did our wedding flowers and they were absolutely beautiful! A huge thank you to Darian, who we worked with throughout the process. She truly brought my vision to life. From our very first conversation, she listened to what I wanted and helped create stunning bouquets and centerpieces that were vibrant, unique, and full of color. The florals were fresh, beautifully arranged, and photographed amazingly. My bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids’ bouquets were perfect, and the centerpieces made the reception space look so elegant and lively. We received so many compliments from our guests on the flowers. If you’re considering Central Market for wedding florals, ask for Darian—she is creative, attentive, and truly talented!

I ordered catering for an English Tea Baby Shower in San Antonio this weekend. We ordered a good amount of food & everything we ordered was delicious, and plated perfectly! It was amazing! It was delivered to the Gunter Hotel right on time for a very nominal fee! Macrina who took my order over the phone was excellent & so very nice! It could not have gone more smoothly, and the food was excellent! Thank you so very much!
