We are in a heat wave and it was still the best broth I've ever had. I can't wait until winter to sit by a fire and sip on that! I also got broth for pets for my grand dogs. They are going to love it!! There's no onion or garlic so it will be easily digestible for them. I walked away from there with 8 sticks, broths and lard. Ohhhhhh, the jalapeño broth is soooo good too. And nice little kick on the back end. I can't wait to try each of items I bought! Joanne is a wealth of information and so friendly and interesting. Go check this place out and "stock" up on some great stuff for your health and your soul.

The chili was great as well, true Texas chili without beans, it was delicious, but only slightly spicy. The other soups and stocks looked really good as well.

I had a craving for ice cream and was surprised when this place came up in my Google search…read more I had already bookmarked it for jazz night / poetry night, and I knew that they sold chocolate, but I had no idea they had ice cream as well. So I decided to swing by. It was a great decision because their house made pistachio ice cream is the best pistachio ice cream I've ever had anywhere in the world. Pistachio is one of my favorite flavors, and this was simply the best. Chock full of pistachios. The perfect balance of sweet with just a pinch of saltiness. Creamy and delicious and just the absolute perfect treat for a 105° day. Unfortunately, I didn't stay as long as I would have liked because when I first walked in I was greeted with the stench of mildew. I'm not sure if they had some sort of water intrusion event recently, but but there was a strong musty mildew smell soon as I walked through the door. In addition to the ice cream, I also bought some chocolate covered mango and apricot but I ended up taking that to go because I couldn't deal with the smell any longer. I tried my chocolate covered treats when I got home but unfortunately the chocolate just didn't have any taste. None whatsoever. It was rather disappointing. The staff was kind and friendly and welcoming so I appreciated that, and while my visit was much shorter than I anticipated, I would come back for a (quick!) couple scoops of that pistachio ice cream.

Until this past weekend. We went in for my partner's birthday, and I'm sure glad we did. They normally don't like rich desserts or cakes, but they love pretty nice, high end dark chocolates. Chocolate Secrets did not disappoint. We arrived with our family, including two little ones in tow. They actually treated our kids with such love and care. It was slightly understaffed, but even then the service was excellent. We ended up taking a box of nine chocolates to go. Pro tip: they also host jazz nights on most nights. It also seems like a really cool spot for hosting events. My favorite so far was the Yes Yes Yes Truffle. It has milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate. All in all, a Dallas institution that I'm so glad I went to.

It's located inside of a retail strip/courtyard. It was high noon and HOT so I was excited for a cool drink. The staff were sweet. You could tell they loved their jobs. Upon entering I noted their fridge with options to purchase milks and other small grocery finds. My absolute favorite part of the cafe was their prayer wall where patrons left all kinds of prayer requests. I got teary eyed reading the vulnerability and pleas from those needing prayers. It was beautiful! I ordered the banana and blueberry iced matchas with cold foam, both half sweet. I think I'll try them again with their full sweet option and see if I could taste the flavors better. Not going to dock them though, it was my choice to modify.

We have wanted to try this shop, and we live so close by. We decided that our New Year's Eve…read moredinner we would cook would be from here. And we were not disappointed not only did it serve its purpose for dinner but also breakfast the next day. This is one of the most Informed and nicest customer service meat store we have been too. Also they have dog food, snacks made from amazing meat and veggies. Take a look at our amazing chimichurri Tri tip sandwiches we made for news years eve and our delish steak and eggs we made for new year's day breakfast. Not to mention our doggo is loving his new dog treats and looking forward to feeding him his raw dog food. We will definitely be back.

I picked up fresh lobster tail for a reasonable price and was very impressed when the deli man asked if I wanted it on ice! Of course since I live a little ways out. This is an elevated grocery store with so much unique finds you won't see at any other grocery store (quail egg's & fresh octopus!) Another plus I love (and the reason I'll frequent more often) is their $1 roses! I love fresh flowers at home so I'll be returning to make my own bouquet. Plus the customer service is great too! So many staff happy and willing to help.

Wow, what a great day shopping at CM. Where this Central…read moreMarket is Not the closest to my home, the ONLY reason I came here yesterday was because at this location, CM has Lone Star Knife Sharpening every Friday from 12-4:00. Casey who owns Lone Star knows his craft and does it well. And at a fare price too. I have had other companies try to sharpen my Chef knives, but no one does it so professionally like Casey. And just in time for the Holiday cooking!!! Casey has sharpened my knives for 10 years now. I have seen him do miracle things to knives that have lost the tip or their edge. Swing by Lover's Central Market and have Lone Star sharpen your knives while you do some weekend grocery shopping. Tell Casey, Carmen sent you! oxo

Dallas being a " new" city has a shortage of old school, including places like Jimmy's. You can literally make a day out of it. Drive there,shop for Italian items,order a meatball sandwich to go and head home. There,start planning and preparing your evening meal with all the great stuff you bought at Jimmy's. For me it was pursuing the isles waiting for my Hot Italian Beef sandwich to be made. I picked up a great Mulipuciano,frozen sausage lasagna and more. But The item on the top of my list was a couple of pounds of house made Hot Italian sausage. No doubt you've seen it served on menues around town if you've been in Dallas any length of time. Don't miss the extra hot latte or cappuccino that magically appears out of the great machine up front. Go! * Another missing review
