Westgate Shopping Center — Attraction in Austin

Lots of parking space, inside is rather small and super crowded - all kinds of brands and foods that you can buy if you're on a special diet or just prefer exclusivity. It's definitely a different vibe from the Dallas Central Markets - this is more like a glamorized version of when trader joints first opened. Produce is very fresh, fresher than anything in Austin! Meat selections are subpar but they have a wonderful array of seafood. Food isle are confusing and the signs don't really tell you wants down them so a lot of items are bunched together but not displayed on the signs. Frozen food section is only 4 cases and it's mostly prepared foods but all in all a great little place to shop. Won't stop me from going back...

How does Central Market just get better and better?? So many delicious options at the dip bar, olive bar, salad bar, Gelato stand, Cafe, deli, yum. I was so happy to be asked if there was something I was looking for. There was something I found at Costco once and have looked for it for 2 or 3 years. THEY HAD IT!! They also had a Canadian brand of noatmeal that was delicious. Going here is restorative for me. Service is top notch. People are so kind. And honestly they have the best bands in their cafe on the weekends. Iblivebto watch the people dance! Go here. Have the Mediterranean salad or shrimp salad or just enjoy some Gelato. Life is short. Find some joy. Go to...

If you want to go somewhere loaded with Foodies and a staff that really cares about the sections they curate then this is your store! The floral department is des pas de resistance. Quirky and traditional options lots of fresh flowers all priced fairly and I've never met a flower person that was not helpful and delightful. Another section that really deserves extra praise is the wine and beer area where I always seem to be able to find an expert to make the perfect choices for whatever event or small gathering I am throwing. The in-house roasting coffee area is also delightful love to try the samples and talk to the guys behind the counter they seem so passionate...
