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.

Alamo Heights Farmers Market is conveniently located in The Quarry parking lot near Gold's Gym. This farmers market is not as big as other ones in the city but it has a lot of good options; plants, grass-fed beef, honey, aguas frescas, organic health products and much more! The best find during our first visit here was a Brazilian baker which was selling delicious brazilian baked goods. We decided to order two of his savory options; Pao de Queijo and Coxinha. The Pao de Queijo was so soft and delicious. The Coxinha was filled with shredded chicken and cheese, which made it the perfect breakfast bite. We will definitely be coming back!

I heard about this business on social media and immediately knew I had to go check them out. I went…read morethere Friday before Christmas to buy some cheeses for my charcuterie board. I was not disappointed. I bought three different types of cheese. Staff was super nice. They took their time with me. They let me taste the cheese before I bought it. They gave great recommendations. They also sell tiny pieces of cheese that are leftover when they cut for bigger orders. I bought a few of those to taste. The store also has balsamic vinegar, oils and gift ideas that go great with cheese. Parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. I'm so glad that I now have a place where I can get some great cheese from other countries. For those that want a charcuterie board made, they do that too

Emerald The…read morecheesemonger greeted us as soon as we walked in. she's very knowledgeable in all the cheeses inside the shop she can explain everything to you and she'll let you taste test all the cheeses that you desire. They have many different olive oils and balsamic vinegars on display so you can taste test them some very fresh breads. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners. Her name is Gabby very sweet lady as well. She had made a fresh fondue and was offering the fresh fondue with bread to taste test, and it was just amazing as well. Out of all the cheeses I tasted, and I tasted many of them The rosemary manchego was definitely my favorite cheese. Now that I found a really cool little cheese shop, I definitely will be going back and the hospitality was wonderful that definitely will be drawing me back as well.

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!

He specifically told me to come back today for veal cutlets, assuring me that if they weren't already out, he would cut them fresh for me. When I arrived, I was told the shipment never came and they didn't have any. Mistakes and shipment delays happen, but what made this truly frustrating was the complete lack of customer service. When I explained that I had just made an 80-mile round trip based on their explicit word, the only response I received was a dismissive "too bad." I expected far better accountability and communication from a store that prides itself on quality and service. Very disappointing experience.

The whole presentation was just right, and elegant. There was a blood orange slice, a wheel of creamy sumptuous Brie, several folded pieces of a nice salami, about 10 blueberries and broken pieces of a harder cheese near the bottom. It was very satisfying as an hors d'oeuvre to the senses and the palette. I met the young woman who I believe is the entrepreneur, she was gracious and charming, and is clearly talented. I see in the brochure there are an array of cheese boards from $10, $20, $35 & up--they're beautiful and would add to and be perfect for any celebration, get-together, or as a gift with a bottle of wine!!! Impressive!!!

If you have trouble locating it, they're by the cava - behind the cava - and then just a little further to the left. If you see HEB go to the other side behind the HEB. Epic find! And it's cute inside. The vibe is perfect all around.
