Central Market on North Lamar is Austin's definitive specialty grocery store — a sprawling, sensory-rich destination with one of the best produce sections in Texas, an exceptional cheese counter, a serious wine department, and a prepared foods bar that rivals many restaurants. Locals treat it as both a grocery run and a food experience. Prices are higher than a standard grocery, but the quality and selection justify it for special ingredients.
