    This is just for the bakery alone. Omggg I think the artist was on break or something, paid 80 bucks for a cake with a very simple design, they couldn't even get the lines straight, this cake was for an adult and what I got what was a chucky cheese birthday cake blue, wtf. Do not get a custom cake here. Pay extra for a personal baker. Also the girl who helped me in the beginning was so unfriendly.

    Such a cool grocery store with nearly anything you could want: fresh pressed juice, produce, house made desserts, a stellar cheese selection, bulk foods and spices (bring your own reusable jar to fill!), olive bar, and so much more. My *only* qualm is that if you're there first thing in the morning, it can be a challenge to get anything out of the packed ice. Looking forward to future visits.

    Foodies everywhere, rejoice! If you're in Dallas and haven't explored Central Market yet, you're missing out on a culinary adventure. This isn't your average grocery store, nope...it's a haven for those who appreciate quality, variety, and international offerings. Is it one of my favorite things about relocating to Dallas? Yep, LOL! From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded with a vibrant selection of fresh produce, herbs, and pressed juices. Turn a few corners and the butcher case and seafood section rivals any specialty market. Next, the bakery tempts you with fresh breads and pastries, while the cheese section offers an impressive array of options. What truly sets Central Market apart is its commitment to every type of cook (or non-cook) alike. You'll find spices, nut butters, candies, coffee, tea, ice cream, to unique condiments--that make cooking an adventure. Oh, and let's not forget the wine and craft beer offerings (drink while you shop, ;-) Don't feel like cooking...check out the prepared foods area for a quick "grab and go". Or, get your scoop of gelato for a taste of Italy. Their flower section is also quite nice, just in case you need that last minute bouquet. On top of that, the customer service has always been top notch during my visits. Seriously, what more do you need in a grocery "not grocery" store? And, did I mention how clean and organized everything looks??? Like wow...I just might be in love, LOL. Central Market is a destination for food enthusiasts and it's my FAV. Happy Shopping and even Happier Eating!

    My last update was 2021 but I've been here many times since then. I don't like this store as much as the Plano store, however,it gets the job done. It seems they've recommitted to a full blown " upscale" grocer. For awhile I was wondering if they valued the customer. The one thing that stood out today was,I helped bag my own groceries. While waiting in line I noticed most customers bagging their own. Two reasons this bothers me. 1) I come here and pay premium prices because I don't like to bag 2) the new in town HEB stores( of which own CM) are bagging for you? I'm not so sure the new " Regular" HEB doesn't satisfy my needs just as well as Central Market. I guess only time will tell. For today I have ingredients for a great seafood dinner so I'm happy. But,I've got my eye on you Central Market!

    One of the best spots to get your freshest foods for all the events! This is a cooks friendly space. The displays are an art form of themselves! They bring produce, flowers and proteins to life! All the aisles have so many traditional and unique options for daily dinners to big hosted party's. The pastries are also an event in and of themselves! The weekly rose sale is one of my personal favorites!

    Delicious grilled cheese panini is always on my mind from the cafe! I add roasted red peppers this time. My niece received the spicy Turkey panini and giving continuously praise about her panini. Awesome sandwiches! Counter Service was wonderful as usual. After we ordered paninis we decided to go shop the market for a few additional items for dinner. Of course we had to visit the heavenly bakery. Always happy to buy fresh organic produce!

    As always the products in the store are top notch. I have always loved the atmosphere of the store. I have shopped here over 20 years...I met the manager there today..I may be misspelling his name but I believe it was Molinas. He happened to be on an isle when I was asking another associate for some gelatin sheets...the employee said "no sir, we don't carry those" the manager then stepped up and said hang on for a minute. He said I will find you in the store...I continued to shop as I was leaving the bulk spices section the manager came around the corner with a few sheets for me. He said, "I know that my bakery uses them in their day to day production, so I went and got you some!" He got me some and charged me a fair price for them...if I wasn't already, he won a customer for life. Thank you sir for going above and beyond for a customer..that is rare in this day and time. I stopped and the deli to pick me up some delicious luncheon meats. Walked out of the store drove down the street and had to pull over on the side of the road to write this...Thank you for showing me that some companies still care about their customers. Marlon C

    HOW IS THE Smoked turkey from Tyler TX?

    Excellent. Tender and flavorful.

    Does Central Market sell organ meats? I make my own pet food snd can't seem to find it anywhere?

    I have not seen them in the display but since they butcher their meats you could certainly ask at the meat counter.

Their…read morefood selection was on point but more importantly every employee I came across was super helpful. They provided useful tips for staying in town, what to see/where to go, and a few people even chimed in on where to avoid. I'm usually better at getting names so shame on me for that, but particularly helpful were the deli lady and the Starbucks girls, all of whom were working the morning of 12/26 at 10 am (hopefully that helps their bosses recognize them) The prices seemed good but admittedly I was in vacation mode (where money doesn't matter until you come home) and the service was top notch, but do yourself a favor and stay out of the men's room!! There were some shady dealings going down in the men's room

All three consistently have terrible attitudes. They either seem to hate their jobs, dislike dealing with customers, or both. I dread coming here knowing there's a good chance I'll have to interact with one of them, but unfortunately it's often unavoidable. In a time when good jobs can be difficult to find, you would think employees would put more effort into providing basic customer service. For the record, I am Black myself, so let's not turn this into a race issue. I only mentioned race because I don't know all of their names and wanted to identify the specific employees I'm referring to, not anyone else who may work there. These employees are consistently unpleasant and would probably be better suited for positions that involve less direct customer interaction, such as produce, stocking, or the meat department. Their attitudes make what should be a simple shopping trip far more frustrating than it needs to be.

The staff here is a little annoying at times, since they're doing a "donate to a local student scholarship drive", and the cashiers guilt-trip you (and they're fairly persistent) into donating. And when you do contribute, they broadcast it throughout the store. I get it's for a good cause, and I hate to be "that guy", but it is a little irritating after a while. On the plus side, the self-checkout attendants are usually fairly helpful and attentive, so that's good. The last time I wanted to check out, all of the registers were closed, so the self-checkout line was over a dozen people/carts long (thankfully two rows of self-checkout made the line dwindle fairly quickly). Another two lanes of self-checkout were opened at the other end of the store, but there were at least 3-4 attendants at the self-checkout lanes, so I'm curious as to why nobody was manning the actual registers. Finally, as I was leaving, two of the staff were having a casual non-work conversation, blocking the exit, so I asked them politely to move for my cart. They did so, but muttered under their breath for me to use the other exit. It was rather rude, since not only is that not appropriate customer service, but my car was parked at the other end of the parking lot, and the exit was right in front of me, which they were blocking. Overall, Krogers itself is great. You can probably find whatever you're looking for there, even if it might not be food, and for reasonable prices. But the staff and service don't always make your shopping experience a positive one.

I picked up a few new things this trip, including vanilla bean paste for my coffee, which I'm VERY intrigued to try! I also had such a sweet interaction with one of the associates. I was specifically looking for a bruschetta sauce that I couldn't find on the shelf, and he was so kind and helpful. He checked for me twice because the system showed it was in stock, but neither of us could seem to find it. After strolling around the store a little longer and somehow adding several things to my cart that I probably did not come in for lol, I FOUND IT! It genuinely made my day, and I actually went back to find him just to let him know there was success at the end of our little bruschetta hunt and to thank him again for trying to help me. That kind of service really stands out to me. The staff here felt kind, patient, observant, and genuinely caring and that matters tenfold.
