Central Market - Dallas

Pretty good! The prices are fair. I prefer the vegan options at Whole Foods I think, but central market has a great salad bar at this location.

The most amazing market I have seen coast to coast. Most varieties of produce, coffee, olives, potatoes, everything. Juices, ice cream, chocolate, bulk section, sushi. 5 dollar smoothies bar. Fresh ground nut butters.

There pre-made foods to-go. You will find vegan options. Just ask. Also their salad bar or sandwich shop also offers vegan options. I’m frozen food section you’ll find vegan tamales, burgers, etc. The product section is the best! They carry the best fruits and vegetables.

I'm surprised to see the low ratings of Central Market on here. There's a lot of vegan options here not to mention their huge, beautiful produce section. There's a whole wall dedicated to different types of apples. There's a buy by bulk seasonings section. Every type of seasoning you could imagine. Great place to get your nutritional yeast (also in the bulk section). Great place for nuts. If you're into vegan eggs, sprouted grain bread/tortillas, daiya products, vegan burgers, vegan desserts, kombucha... um... healthy stuff this is a Mecca for it. Plus it's fun to just explore.

IMHO, all Central Markets can be a little pricey, and this one is no different. On the plus side, if you need it, they probably have it, even if it is kind of random. Case in point, I often go here for buckwheat because WF's bulk buckwheat is often still a little green, not the ripe brown color it's supposed to be. They've got a wide selection of bulk products ranging from herbs, spices, teas, candies, grains etc. You can easily go to town with all of their great selections and then get a surprise once you get up to the counter (I got 3 or 4 items and I'm up to $50? . Hit or miss with the staff. They're usually knowledgeable but not always super friendly. I'd honestly rather go to the farmer's market, WF or TJ.
