Central Market

I came here for lunch at the Cafe and made my own salad. The salad ingredients were so fresh and there were so many options to choose from. There's also a sandwich line and tons of ready-to-eat choices for pastas, meats, salads, BBQ, rice, and more. There's a nice sushi section and different types of coffee. It was actually a bit overwhelming for my first visit to see how much food there was. Plenty of seating inside, outside, and upstairs by their cooking school.

Oh my soul! This is something everyone must witness to believe. If this is your local grocery store you don’t know how fortunate you are. Been, and lived, in many locals now and nothing comes close to this experience. Clearly the best grocery store bar none. Brain and belly overload, clean throughout even while busy, friendly and knowledgeable staff in every department, and leaves you in a sort of euphoria rarely achieved. Central Market definitely set the proverbial bar extremely high. Keep up the great work!

I don’t have a Central Market by my house but I do have an H‑E‑B . I love both but when it comes to healthy foods , supplements, vitamins, skincare , hair products,candles and also adorable birthday cards by Papyrus , CM never fails . Their products are pricier than your average store but I’d say it’s definitely worth it , I lose track of time when I’m shopping in there . They had some of my favorite bath salts and sugar scrubs today .
It wasn’t too busy today which was a nice surprise for a Saturday afternoon. Highly recommend y’all check out Central Market off of Hulen in Fort Worth! ❤

Beautiful produce, meat market, bakery, and fine charcuterie market. Everything looks very fresh.

Central market is top notch in the world of groceries!!! I am always impressed by the quality of food and choices that are available. Customer service is the absolute best. And Hatch Chile fest is one of my favorite times of year!!!

Great fresh produce, fresh delicious breads, cakes, food and they have different types of foods 😋 😀 👌 both ready to eat or heat at home. On Saturday evening, they have outside live entertainment.

I found Central Market to be a shopping adventure. There are so many items you don't find at most grocery stores. It's set up like an Ikea with a Discovery path thru the store. It has a great meat and fish market. I picked up some delicious muffins from the bakery. Some of the basics are a little spendy. The prepared foods look scrumptious. I'm sure I'll be back.

Wow! I was blown away! Visiting from the San Francisco Bay Area and decided to have a look. This place is Texas HUGE, every item is represented in any variety you can imagine. Stand out departments would be Fruits & Veg, an extensive meat counters, fresh artisanal bread of every imaginable kind. Every other area of the store was WELL stocked. If you can't find what you want here, you probably just need to ask. Pretty sure it's there.

I came here today for the gingerbread making class and this was my first time at this Central Market location and I think it’s so neat they have an upstairs dedicated to a cooking school and seating area for people to enjoy. The women hosting the event were so kind and helpful towards making this experience relaxing and festive. Now I have something to admire in my home for this Christmas season. Thank you for this opportunity!

updated review from chilifest 2023 - it's the full Central market experienced clean properly staffed fully stocked and during chilifest featuring a full array of fantastic hatch chile options this is unquestionably the nicest grocery store in the DFW area and features and incredible array of specialty items especially with a focus on seasonal events like the hatch chile festival.

Always love visiting here. Good food, great prices and friendly staff. Occasionally a weird smell on aisle 6. But it could Old Mrs. McCartney who I frequently seem to cross paths with in aisle 6. Weird. I Know.

Central Market is a delightful culinary experience.
You are guided through each section of the store where every ingredient and item is fully stocked and presented in their best light.

The produce section has an amazing number of options
The butcher is packed with every kind of cut imaginable and the bulk goods section lets you choose the perfect amount for your recipe.

The bakery and tortilleria are making fresh breads daily and the hot bar has ready to go sides for your next meal.

Wow…can’t believe it’s taken me this long to go to a Central Market! As one of my friends said, it’s magical. I felt aww struck by all the options… so many cool finds , was hard not to buy the whole store haha. The produce looked so good and fresh, the prices were pretty good I thought, esp the central market brand. After leaving NY State and badly missing Wegmans, Central Market definitely fills that hole!
Made a delicious dinner tonight from my haul today!

Fresh produce and great variety.
Great variety of meats and seafood.
Bakery is the best.
The best variety of cheese.
Products from other countries.
Food bar has awesome healthy options.
Life goal to shop there regularly ❣

Central market….
Met up with a woman here once for a date.
Told her to dress up, be ready to eat and to dance. When we arrived and walked through the fresh entrance right into the veggie section she asked, “… did you really bring me to a grocery store for a date?”
I knew right then it wasn’t going to work out between us.
She didn’t get it.
She failed that test.
Didn’t waste my time, left her in the bread section to enjoy the free samples.
Got my beer and went to the patio to enjoy the live music with everyone else. Had a great time.

Okay so central market….
So many perks and if someone paid me I’d write them all down. But here are the ones most important to me.

The beer, wine, cheese, coffee, peanut butter, dip, olive, sparkling water, kombucha, bread, pastry, and fresh food selection is essentially endless. Every department has a specialist who custom orders the items for their respective section of the store.
You can make suggestions to the beer guy/gal or cheese guy/gal and expect to see your desired item there on the shelves the following month.

The beer & wine.
You can grab individual bottles of beer (or wine) from the packs and happily drink anything you buy on the patio or take everything home to enjoy. If you like dark milk stouts look no further than Dragon’s milk. You and your friends will all thank me later. They all do.

If you choose to study, there is a clandestine area upstairs with tables and CM welcomes patrons to occupy this space. It’s right next to the huge glass classroom used for cooking classes. See photos for more deats.

Do not ! I repeat do not ! … Miss out on the SEASONAL hatch green chili soup (photo included), every bit is worth the cost. The pozole isn’t to shabby for a Mexican’s standards.

That’s all I have
Message me for more protips at this location.
It’s a girlfriend/partner litmus test!

I love doing my grocery shopping here especially since they have a vast amount of fresh produce and it's always clean and organized with friendly and welcoming cashiers and staff.

OMG. This place was an absolute mind shock. It’s bougie, so are the prices, and I’m in love. If you’re looking for cheap bulk food this is NOT the place for you. They have an entire cheese wall featuring cheeses from over 35 countries, handmade fresh bread, artisan muffins, hand made to order pasta. They have a unit with mushrooms you can pick off a damn rock- like indoor foraging. There Olive bar is a quarter of a mile long . Everything is organic, homegrown, grass fed- yadda yadda yadda. My favorite was the refillable dried food area. They have cooking classes and ready made food to pick up. If I could afford it I would set up a tent and live in here forever.

A nice, quiet atmosphere for dining in.
We often get to-go orders & they’re always exactly what we ordered. They have gluten free pad Thai & they’ll fix it like you want.
The food is very good & the service is outstanding.

I am not knowledgeable about wine at all and find the selection very overwhelming. Eric in the wine department was so helpful and helped me pick out 3 wines that my husband and I really loved. I will definitely ask for him the next time I go back!

Fantastic store. It's now our go to supermarket. Staff is amazing here and the lady at the deli department (maybe Anna or Hanna can't remember) needs a raise. She helped my wife and I and cleaned the entire deli slicer machine to get our kosher deli sliced to prevent cross contamination. Highly recommend you guys just get a separate slicer just for kosher or Halal cuts to better serve customers with dietary restrictions but either way a good cleaning was sufficient and we appreciate it greatly.
