    Catering Hours & Brochure

    I'm super bummed that I arrived at the catering counter and found no one there. I arrived immediately after work to place my order that I need for a baby shower next week. I walked into the store at 5:50PM on a Wednesday evening and there was no one to greet me. Some workers noticed me waiting, approached and kindly told me that "the catering team went home for the day". However, the catering department is advertised, on their own brochures, that they are claiming to be open every Monday through Friday, from 8AM to 6:30PM. I'm very disappointed with the lack of service that was provided to me, and also the false advertising. Sadly, I need to make this order quickly and I will be taking my business elsewhere due to the turnaround time! Maybe next time I can arrive in time...

    I love Central Market. Today I tried their coffee shop on a Saturday morning. The hot soy matcha latte was perfect. It was just sweet enough and the matcha flavor was perfect. My partner got an iced americano, and I've never heard him say "this is a good americano!" we've been to a lot of coffee places, his favorite is starbucks for context. Tons of seating upstairs and some on the ground floor. They had free raspberry and lime water which was divine. Good amount of parking because it's a plaza. But it could fill up fast. The employee was genuinely nice thank you.

    By far the best grocery store I've been in. I walked in and they gave me fresh hot apple cider with some kind of cookie that was delicious, I also got some fresh pears as a sample as well. All the fruit and produce was perfectly placed and so fresh and fully stocked. The service was immaculate, EVERY section I went in, I was offered helped and they had great recommendations. Everyone was so nice here. I've never been in a store with as many samples as they had this day. I had enchiladas, red honey chutney which was a 10/10, I immediately bought it along with the crackers as well. I also had fish with vegetables, 5 samples of red wine, potatoes and pecan coffee pie which was a great end to my sample tour. I'll visit this store 10xs over for sure!! The parking could get a little congested but I'd definitely be back.

    I'm so upset because central market is a favorite of mine and I come to this location whenever I am in town. I stopped by before my flight at Love Field to pick up a sandwich and I found a piece of trash in my food. It looks like a plastic/metal tie ribbon. I couldn't eat after this. I'm very disappointed. I wish I could have taken it back for a refund, but I can't leave the airport.

    This store will make even the most novice cook ready to excited to try their hand at a gourmet meal. It feels like a less commercial Whole Foods. There are great produce options both organic and conventional. As you walk in, you'll see cut fruits, juices. The path then takes you to an alcohol section packed with a variety of wines and local beer and cider. The standout is the aisle with tons of hot sauce and bbq sauce because...TEXAS. Whether you're shopping for fancy happy hour snacks or getting ingredients for a special dinner you will find everything you need here. What really sets this place apart is the variety. You can spend hours browsing through the robust selection of goods. It is on the expensive end, but I'll pay extra to shop artisanal goods from small American business owners any day.

    When you're bored with your run-of-the-mill grocery store, you can go shopping at Central Market. I've been around a bit, but I was blown away be this place. More choices of coffee, wine, peppers, apples, etc., etc. than you can find in most grocery stores anywhere. Folks were really nice, and I was splitting time between shopping and sightseeing. Parking is easy and there's lots of it. Lots to see and learn, make sure your phone is charged so you can look things up when you have a question. And HAVE FUN!!

    Sign me up for anything related the H-E-B grocery chain. I think I've been to all of the Central Markets in Texas. This newer location on Northwest is in my top 3. It has all of the bells and whistles of CM. This is perfect for those in the neighborhood. If you have to travel some miles to get to a CM, then it may be a little off-putting that it is not That close to a freeway because of all of the traffic lights. A minor inconvenience but always worth the trip.

    I absolutely LOVE Central Market - it's just a little pricier than the regular grocery store I go to, so I don't go very often. But I love their honey toasted pecans! And their apricots are great, too! And their chocolate truffles. They also have a wide selection of fresh seafood! Maybe it's because I don't visit often enough, but I always have a hard time finding things I want. The store itself is very clean, but I just don't understand their organization, even when using their signage. Maybe that's just me. Whenever I've visited, it's been pretty busy. So especially during these times of Covid, beware. Wear a mask (they require one anyways!). They offer curbside pick-up if you'd prefer that instead.

    This is my favorite Central Market. People are so nice and helpful in the store especially the JC at seafood department. He is always smiling and being so friendly to the customers whenever I saw him. They always keep the store clean, and store has everything I need, and I truly enjoy my grocery shopping experience in there weekly.

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.

The produce section first because if I do not address it immediately I will think about it the whole time. Walking into the Central Market produce section is the closest a grocery store has ever come to making me feel like a child at Disney World. Not Disney World adjacent. Not Disney World inspired. Full Disney World. There are colors happening in that produce section that I did not know vegetables were capable of. Heirloom tomatoes in seventeen shades. Peppers that look like they were designed by an artist who was told to make a pepper but make it fashion. Mushrooms with names I cannot pronounce displayed like they are artifacts from a civilization that understood fungi better than we do. I have walked in there for one specific item and come out forty minutes later with things I have never cooked before and a quiet optimism about my future in the kitchen that has not always proven accurate but always feels real in the moment. I went once just for garlic. One head of garlic. I left with dragon fruit, three kinds of fresh pasta, a bunch of herbs that required me to look up two of them when I got home, and a wheel of cheese that I told myself was practical. It was not practical. I regret nothing. Now BP. BP runs the prepared foods counter at Central Market Lovers Lane and is the reason I sometimes drive there when I am not even hungry. BP was a high school math teacher in California for years. Years. Shaping young minds, writing equations on whiteboards, presumably grading papers on weekends with the quiet resignation of someone who has chosen a noble and exhausting profession. And then at some point BP looked at California, looked at Dallas, made a decision, and moved. He did most of the moving himself. I want you to think about that. This man, who spent years teaching mathematics, looked at a truck full of his belongings and said I will handle this personally. The kind of move that requires a certain stubbornness and also a pretty solid understanding of spatial reasoning which, given the math background, he had covered. BP is now behind the prepared foods counter at Central Market and is genuinely one of the warmest humans I have encountered on either side of a deli case. He talks to you like he has time, which in a prepared foods counter context is unusual and should be protected at all costs. He knows what is good that day. He will tell you. You should listen. Excellent store. Exceptional produce section. BP is the best part of the prepared foods counter and possibly of Lovers Lane entirely.

The customer service at this location is phenomenal. The lady at the register saw the flowers and asked what I was making. When I told her I was building a bouquet myself for my partner, she lit up and said, "That's how you do it." Little moments like that just make the experience feel personal. Trader Joe's employees always bring good energy, and it shows. I took everything home, trimmed the stems, mixed the colors, and built the bouquet with my own hands. The roses brought the romance, the winter peonies added that soft winter elegance, and the lilies tied the whole thing together like a final touch only she would notice. While I was there I also grabbed steaks to cook her dinner later that night. Between the flowers and the meal, Trader Joe's basically gave me everything I needed to make the whole evening special without running all over town.

Trader Joe's helped me turn a simple idea into a real moment -- thoughtful, genuine, and meaningful. Five stars for fresh florals, quality steaks, and customer service that actually makes you feel seen. This is why our local store stays our favorite.
