Not as good at is used to be.

Was once one of our family favorites. Seems to have gone down in quality lately. Our sandwiches were little more than cold-cuts on pre-sliced bread. They also seem to have lost some of their really good employees. There was low turnover there for a long time. Now it's a different group every time we visit. The french fries are still good. But we were especially disappointed in our ceasar salad. The lettuce was old, and the entire salad seemed to have been made the day before. Great location - hopefully they'll pull it back around.
nice store, terrible cafe

I still prefer Central Market to Whole Foods when it comes to grocery shopping. Their prices are better in general, and the store is large without being overwhelming. The produce selection is great as is the alcohol, seafood, and bulk goods sections. The staff is very knowledgable and pleasant. However, the Cafe is not just not good. The south location is currently being remodeled, but the Lamar location is the cafe I have visited most frequently. Clearly, most of the food is reheated. I have verified this with a former employee. They often run out of food near closing. Also, the food just isn't very good. My former employee friend told me they focus very much on cutting costs and after all, Central Market is really just a dressed up HEB.
Love the produce and cheese

I love going to Central Market for their produce and cheese selections. They always have the freshest organic fruit, and you can always find specialty cheeses. Their selection of wines is also very diverse. I am not a huge fan of their bakery or cafe, because honestly it's not that special. A good place to shop for groceries, not s good place for lunch.
Central Market Cafe - Decent Food, Overpriced

Ohhhh, they get me every time! I keep going back to the Cenetral Market Cafe even though I think the food is only okay and the service is ... wait a minute, there's no service! You stand in line to order from a counter. You have to pick up your own food. It's always busy at the drink station. Even though you pay the same price you would at a sit down place, you get to do the work yourself. Hmmm. They got a pretty good racket going here. Of course, I still love their fries. Gosh!

Central Market is a great place to go, whether you want to order off a menu or create your own salad or pasta dish. It is always a great quality and I would definatly recommend it to anyone that I meet.
