 Cozy grocery |
4403 Avenue B Austin, TX 78751 United States +1 512 453 3921 http://www.avenuebgrocery.com/ |
Located in Austin's first planned suburb(Hyde Park) is Avenue B Grocery, Austin's oldest grocery store. You know how things were simple back then, when the name of your establishment was simply the street name. The grocery store stocks all your necessary items, but apart from the practical and aesthetic appeal, it has one other attraction. A big sign outside the store says 'home made sandwiches.' Tip toe across the groaning porch and call for a King sandwich. Roast beef and cheese will never taste the same again. The establishment accepts cash and debit cards. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Buy it fresh off the farm |
3414 Lyons Road Austin, TX 78702 United States +1 512 926 4650 http://www.boggycreekfarm.com |
This fully functional organic farm has won many awards for its urban farming techniques. Purchase fantastic fresh vegetables on Wednesday and Saturday mornings (9am-2pm). Or, let your kids experience real farm life right in the heart of the city—animals and tractors are some of the biggest attractions for the little ones on market day. While shopping for produce, take a peek at the historic farmhouse, noted as one of the oldest existing buildings in Austin (built in 1838). Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Large organic selection |
4001 North Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78756 United States +1 512 206 1000 http://www.centralmarket.com |

The 75-foot seafood counter, packed with both salt water and fresh water delicacies, often includes up to six sorts of salmon. You want cheese? Be prepared to choose from over 700 varieties. Plus the wine section includes over 3,000 domestic and imported bottles. For the time-starved or kitchen-phobic, there's also a stunning array of fully-prepared dishes (starters, main courses and desserts). Review © 2007, Wcities |

A sense of belonging |
1718 South Congress Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 462 7220 http://www.fm1718.com/ |
Angela Atwood and Peg McCoy have devoted a large part of their lives to developing their communities. Farm To Market is just another means to that end. The grocery involves local growers, and all the produce(from apples to zucchini) are grown in and around Austin. Farm To Market also sells handmade cards and an assortment of gift items. Make a suggestion and the grocery will stock it. The flower stand outside the store catches your attention; enter, and one's greeted with warm smiles and hugs. If there's anything that embodies the phrase "of the people, by the people, for the people", it's Farm To Market. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Flowers and artwork |
3100 North Lamar Blvd Austin, TX 78705 United States +1 512 453 6692 http://www.theflowerbucket.com |
This shop is an unusual spot, selling both flowers and South American art under the same roof. Alongside roses, mums and other traditional floral offerings, you will find a good selection of folk art from Mexico and Guatemala, terra cotta pots, collectibles, vases and other gift items. It really is quite an interesting place to explore. The staff members make lovely arrangements, and local delivery is available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Hip grocery store |
3913 Todd Lane, Suite 618 Austin, TX 78744 United States +1 512 440 8449 http://www.greenling.com |
Farmer's markets have fresh food, but you need to get there early. A grocery store has variety and value, but the quality of the products may not suit your requirements. Neither of the places may deliver to you. What do you do? Contact Greenling. Greenling supports local farms and makes the organic foods movement accessible to all. Every aspect of the online shopping cart can be customized, and the delivery day is area dependent. Greenling offers variety, quality, value and delivery, all on one platter. And the platter's organic too! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Meatometer! |
619 North Colorado Street Austin, TX 78644-2110 United States +1 512 398 2361 http://www.kreuzmarket.com |
Ever since it was first established in 1900 by Charles Kreuz, this market has built up a reputation of being the best meat dealer in the city. No wonder residents of Lockhart and its outskirts swear by the quality of Kreuz's products. Apart from selling raw meat, the market also has a wide variety of barbecued beef, and other pre-cooked products like pork and sausages. Kreuz also offers online marketing on its website.

915 West Mary Street Austin, TX 78704 United States +1 512 326 3133 http://www.pkgrocery.com/ |
Somewhere between the around the corner neighborhood store and the upmarket mega mall lies P&K Grocery. Step into this cheery establishment which stocks everything that can make your house a home; a somewhat eclectic home. The grocery store really backs the health bandwagon, and a lot of their produce is guaranteed to be organic. Separate sections for frozen foods, dry goods and home accessories make it easy to spot your Mexican beer from your Chinese ginseng. P&K also delivers, but that would mean not getting to taste the delicious hot dogs at the deli counter. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Organic foods and more |
525 North Lamar Boulevard Austin, TX 78703 United States +1 512 476 1206 http://www.wholefoodsmarket.co... |
Whole Foods began in the early 1980s in a small flood-prone site farther north on Lamar. The store has since expanded to cities across the United States and into its current limestone home thanks to its healthy success. Of course, the store carries tempeh, tofu, miso and a plethora of fresh fruits and vegetables, but customers will also find organic wines, natural beef and free-range chicken. The quick carryout deli offers a variety of worldly foods including Greek dolmas, grilled eggplant, Mexican empanadas and chicken salad. Shoppers will find much more than just food; also offered is a full line of organic cosmetics, skin and hair care products, essential oils, fresh flowers, jewelry, hemp clothing, a good selection of books and magazines and many home accessories.
