  We came here for one thing and we got that one thing, a delicious and filling sandwich. Endless options and menu chef selections! Customizable from the bread, sauces, protein, veggies, and heat options. Pass the salad or pickle bar grab something from the many options available or even getting a drink with multiple options to choose from the fountain or drink display

  Central Market: A Culinary Adventure Worth the Premium Central Market is truly a destination that elevates grocery shopping from a chore into a delightful culinary adventure. The store is laid out in a fascinating, winding route—much like an IKEA showroom—which encourages exploration and ensures you discover every specialty section. The journey begins in the vibrant Produce and Fruit section, where quality is clearly the top priority. It's always a treat to find ample free samples available on many days, giving you a taste of seasonal offerings. Moving into the interior, Central Market boasts one of the most comprehensive seafood and meat selections available anywhere, perfect for serious cooks or those looking for a special-occasion cut. Specialty and Prepared Foods The store excels in its specialty departments. The wine selection is vast, complemented by a thoughtful array of craft and rare beers that are often hard to source elsewhere. The bulk area is a treasure trove, featuring a wide variety of high-quality nuts, candies, spices, and freshly roasted coffee, all sold by the pound. Don't skip the cheese counter or the bakery; they offer an impressive selection of artisanal cheeses and some of the best fresh-baked bread imaginable. The final stretch of the route leads to the restaurant and prepared meal section, which offers a tremendous variety of main dishes and sides, conveniently sold by weight. This area alone makes it an ideal stop for a quick lunch or dinner when you don't have time to cook. Logistics and Value While you certainly pay a little extra for this premium experience and the quality you receive, it undeniably makes grocery shopping fun. The one consistent challenge is the parking lot: it is large, but almost always completely full, so be prepared to hunt for a spot! Overall, Central Market provides a unique, high-quality, and enjoyable shopping environment that is well worth the occasional splurge.

  This place reminds me of a super large version of A1 Grocers Warehouse in Los Angeles. Yes, the place is like a maze, but it's fun to find stuff.

  The store is usually a great experience to go buy a nice dinner for the night. One issue is misleading signs regarding discounts. One says 20% off reds wine. Below it says 10% discount if you buy (6). The sign for 10% off does not say some particular types of wine. The consumer is lead to believe I can buy (1) bottle of red at get 20% off and if I buy (6) I get an additional 10%. The manager says that is not what it means but that does not change what the signs say. Misleading the consumer. Who only finds out after they have paid.

  Great groceries, beware the staff. You have to audit them at checkout like a loon or they won’t do the promotional discounts in store that are ‘applied at checkout’ eg the pizza today was supposed to be 50% off, and of course I check the receipt when I get home and I was charged full price. The deli staff always almost double the quantity you ask for, and you pay for it. It’s simply not good enough. I come to Central Market for good quality food and a more tranquil shopping experience. I don’t want to be an accountant the whole time, but these add up. So far this month I’ve been overcharged by about $100.
