Uncommon Grocery Shopping Experiences in Houston

Yes, we like our groceries in Texas.  Austin is home and headquarters of the Whole Foods phenomenon.  And the Hill Country-based Howard E. Butt family grocery chain, HEB, arguably reigns as the king grocer in H-town.  But here are some not-so-common grocery shopping experiences that help make a big city like ours feel like a cozy hometown to so many of us Houstonians....

 

 

Heights General Store @ Harold's on 19th Street

• Locally-sourced, organic, and eco-friendly staples for the discerning shopper
• Cozy, farm-to-market shopping environment
• Full-service in-house casual restaurant upstairs with rotating seasonal menu
• Family-owned and -operated... stop by and be sure to meet owner Ali Jarrett

Revival Market - White Oak Dr. @ Heights Blvd.

• In-house coffee bar and deli
• Yummy soups and sammies

Central Market - Westlayan @ Westheimer

• Yes, it's become a bit mainstream, but we still only have ONE Central Market in town, so it still makes the cut
