One of the top tourist spots in town, Central Market features an 18,000-square-foot produce section, a 75-foot seafood counter and a bakery stocked with 60 varieties of bread--not to mention an immense selection of fruit and hard-to-find gourmet items like Thai coconut milk and fat-free cranberry granola. In addition, the Central Market Cafe serves up a kid-friendly menu of all-American favorites like macaroni and cheese, burgers and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

User Reviews for Central Market

Was once one of our family favorites. Seems to have gone down in quality lately. Our sandwiches were little more than cold-cuts on pre-sliced bread. They also seem to have lost some of their really good employees. There was low turnover there for a long time. Now it's a different group every time we visit. The french fries are still good. But we were especially disappointed in our ceasar salad. The lettuce was old, and the entire salad seemed to have been made the day before. Great location - hopefully they'll pull it back around.
Pros: good location, convenient to shopping
Cons: prices have increased, quality seems to have slid, parking congested.

Central Market is a great place to go, whether you want to order off a menu or create your own salad or pasta dish. It is always a great quality and I would definatly recommend it to anyone that I meet.
Pros: Food, Variety
Cons: Cost
