Meeting with a friend & her 2 y/o son on this breezy Saturday so he can run around & play in the…read moreAstroturf area while we catch up. So many food vendors now! Got some Chicken Empanadas, Mira Matcha Iced Latte & Fresh Japanese Eggplant. She got a Shredded Chicken with Cream Cheese Stuffed Coxhina from Pingo De Mel Bakery. I chose the Chimichurri sauce with my Empanada and it had a slight kick to it with the red peppers. There were a lot of stands today and people and I'm thinking it's because of the Father's Day holiday and extra offerings as well. There were gourmet Oysters on the Half Shell, Aperol Spritzers and free Frozen Blackberry Icesticks they were handing out near the Pullman Market. We walked around The Pullman Market but it was quite busy by 12pm. I saw Beet colored fresh Pasta and would like to try one of their fresh Tagliatelle next time. There was a Lavender vendor, Sourdough Vendor, a few Farmer vendors with fresh fruit and veggies, Kettle Korn vendor, Mushroom vendor I've bought Lion's Mane from before so good to see them, Dog Chews vendor and other vendors. Lots of samples around in the Farmer's Market area that spanned from CIA to the Pullman Market. Street Parking is free for 2-hours and there's all-day parking in the outdoor Pearl lots for $13. The Koehler Garage is free for 30 minutes then 2-5 hours is $10 and another charge for more hours. The Oxbow Garage is less expensive but further away. Check the Pearl Parking rates on their website. There are a lot more shaded areas to sit now.

Pearl Farmers Market is one of my favorite weekend activities!…read more This farmers market has been going on for a couple of years and it just keeps getting bigger and better with each year. On Saturdays they host more of the classic "farmers market" where you can find local produces from around the area. However, on Sundays they host a "makers market" where is mainly produce and stuff made by amazing local businesses. The market has grown so much in the last couple of years that now truly covers the entire outdoor space of The Pearl. For the summer they changed their hours and markets start at 9am and I believe in winter they will move it back to 10am. They also host a couple evening markets on the weekdays for those looking to stay out of the heat. This market is always such a great time and it is very family and pet-friendly! Make sure to check them out on an upcoming weekend.

My husband and I have purchased two hogs from South Texas Heritage Pork, and have nothing but…read morepositive feedback from the quality of the meat itself to our customer experience. Mark and Kelley love their animals. We've been to the farm multiple times and have seen first hand how the pigs are raised and how well they are treated. They are Animal Welfare Approved, a certification program that audits and certifies farms raising their animals humanely, outdoors on pasture. When we bought our second hog, we were even able to pick it ourselves, under Mark's guidance, and about six months later we received it, all cut up to our specifications. The other point that I'd like to highlight is how helpful Kelley was in dealing with the processor. My husband is very picky, and he wanted everything from snout to tail, along with the skin and of course the organs. Who wouldn't want to eat a liver from a pig that has been raised on pasture, homemade feed and peanuts? He also wanted some special cuts, so he could make his own prosciutto and cure some other special pieces. Kelley has been amazing and made sure that we received everything in the way we specified. And now to the meat. It is absolutely wonderful, hands-down the best pork I've ever eaten. And believe me, I've eaten my fair share of pork. I grew up in Germany with one uncle a farmer and the other a butcher and have eaten our own pork all my life, but even I must admit, South Texas Heritage Pork is even better!

I would LOVE to write a review about the actual products from South Texas Heritage Pork…read more Unfortunately, all I can write about is my customer experience, and here's why. STHP sets up a booth at the Pearl Brewery Farmers Market each Saturday. The first time I stopped by looking for some pork belly, I was told that they sold out and that you have to get there early to get some. However, the lady working gave me a flyer with their contact info and told me that I could e-mail ahead to reserve whatever I wanted. The first time I tried to e-mail to reserve some pork belly, Kelly told me that they wouldn't have any that weekend, but that they should have some the next. I e-mailed back and said that was cool, and asked her to reserve me a pork belly for the next weekend. I e-mailed AGAIN earlier this week because I never heard back, asking to reserve the pork belly a second time. She e-mailed back and said that it wouldn't be a problem. That about brings us up to today. Early(ish) this morning, I dragged my hungover hubby out of bed and rounded up the dogs. We live in the Stone Oak area, so it's quite a drive to downtown.Our only objective was to pick up the pork belly that I had reserved. When I got to the booth, I waited politely behind two people who seemed to want to chat with the woman working about the farm, the pigs, the pictures, et cetera. It felt like I waited for at least ten minutes before the woman working acknowledged me. I explained that I had e-mailed to reserve a pork belly, and she said, "Oops! Oh no, we sold it! And you e-mailed and I confirmed it and everything!" Boyfriend is an easygoing dude. He said, "Well, it happens," and dragged me away to have lunch. HOWEVER. I'm not as easygoing, and I am PISSED. Seriously, the only reason I got up and drove across town with my dogs in tow was to pick up that pork belly. We left the farmers market empty-handed. We stopped at Central Market on the way home and got a pork belly there. Would have been a LOT easier to just go there in the first place, and that's what I'll be doing next time I want to make pork for dinner. The farm sure looks nice, and apparently they treat the animals very humanely (which is the only reason I went with two stars instead of one). But since I wasn't offered any sort of discount or really ANYTHING for the massive inconvenience they put me through, I'll never know if their stuff is good or not, because I will never attempt to do business with them again. My patience is officially exhausted.

This shop sells fudge, truffles, candied apples, and - what I came for - ice cream! They had a lot of ice cream flavors to choose from, a least a couple dozen. The smiling young woman working behind the ice cream counter offered to give tastes, but I had already figured out which flavors I wanted. I chose two scoops in a cup, one of Cappucino Chip and the other Turtle Cheesecake. They have several tables to sit at, some along a hallway and more in a back room. I took a seat and was in awe of the huge scoops given. The Cappuccino Chip had a mild flavor (I prefer it stronger) but a fair number of tiny chocolate chips. The Turtle Cheesecake had an excellent cheesecake flavor with swirls of caramel, praline pecans, and caramel-filled mini turtles. I'm usually not fond of nuts in my ice cream but I actually enjoyed the pralines. In my humble opinion, there were too few turtles. But I still loved it. If you're in the mood for a cold, creamy treat while visiting the Alamo, you'll find this to be the perfect place to visit.

This review is for their coffee/smoothie bar only:…read more Be aware Central Market is under major renovation. Half of the market was closed off, but something new that popped up near the front of the store was a coffee/smoothie bar. We stopped in for a quick to go order of a coffee, pastry, and smoothie. I loved the fact that there is an option to make your own. I was able to choose my base, 2 fruit options, and a veggie. I chose - blueberry, strawberry, (comes with a banana), spinach, and almond milk. Perfect! Healthy and fresh. The girl behind the counter was friendly and accommodating. There's also a gelato bar. Curious to see what's new when renovations are done!

My husband and I go in to get a couple of sandwiches. We've done it before for little weekend picnics, but my bread was so tough today it wasn't really pleasant. It felt like it had been left in the fridge section for too long. Then we knew the brisket and prepared meats weren't going to be ready until 4, we had asked one of the employees there and they told us it'd be ready at 4. We ordered a couple of sides for dinner and both of the sides were labeled incorrectly. One of them triple the price of what the item should have costed. We came back at 4 and then were informed the brisket might be out actually closer to 5. What? Why tell us 4 and then push it to another hour? We decided to leave and check out and at the checkout lane I noticed they started putting the meat out?? Did they just not want to serve us?? Their customer service specifically was rude but our cashier who helped us with the overpriced ticketed items was nice and helpful. It just doesn't feel good to be treated with disrespect and to basically be lied to because the same guy who said it wouldn't be out until 5 literally started to put out the meat as soon as we walked away. Weird, random, and I hated it.

We were greeted by the same friendly employee when I visited the prior week, and she gave us each a stamp punch card - after so many you get a freebie coffee. FYI they also serve smoothies, not posted yet, and they can make them dairy free! My friend and I shared a Rueben sandwich and chicken salad croissant. Great flavors, but for me the Rueben shined! Lots of flavor. $1 more. My decaf latte with oat milk ($2 extra) and sugar free Belgian cookie syrup was nice. The price for the oat milk was steep, I don't think I've ever paid that much extra. I may skip it next time and go for the caffeine free teas. I ordered a hippie bar and honey glazed pecans to go. I really enjoyed the hippie bar- peanut butter, gluten free oats, chia, seeds, and dried cranberries. Lots of seating inside. There's a conference room- free of charge for ministry meetings and a mic area up front. The owner stopped by our table and greeted us, I just love supporting this local fam owned business. Oh and when we visited the women's restroom... I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sky ceiling and bird sounds. So soothing and relaxing... I felt like I was transported to a gorgeous serene garden. Big smile on my face!
