    Sometimes I think about moving out of Austin but I could only ever do that if my destination city had a central market. The people that work here know their stuff. Must be a great place to work to be able to keep such good folks. Truly an incredible grocery store.

    The produce section alone is worth visiting for the beauty of displays and varieties available. They have their own mushroom incubator and of course make fresh juices. I often go for the wall of tea, stocking up on brands I can't find locally and they have bulk teas too, as well as bulk coffee, spices, nuts, ect. Their meat and seafood selections look fresh too. Sometimes I just come for the good, reasonably priced food in the Cafe, with live music on the weekends. If you are in need of a particular ingredient for a special recipie, or want to try something new, you can find it here.

    Overall a pleasant experience to stop by for our lunch, after our hike at nearby Barton Creek. The order counter staffs were helpful to take our orders for 5 pax, and the cleaning staff was timely to clear our plates. My central market burger meal was cooked just right. Peak lunch hour can be crowded to find a suitable table for 5 pax.

    Went in today to buy olive oil. Had some ideas on what I wanted but needed a little help. The lady that was stocking up the aisle offered me assistance, I initially said no because I felt like my internet search educated me enough. But after I explained my needs the lady said, I know just a person to help you. She went and got Karol ( i hope i'm remembering her name correctly) but OMG she gave me a much needed education on olive oil. She was so helpful so kind, so knowledgeable. I really appreciated her attention to me.And the details that she shared. I walked out feeling like I had won the lottery. Got the best olive oil I could get and for a reasonable price. And not only that, I know how to pick it for myself now because of her educating me.Thank you Karol for the amazing service!
