Whether you enjoy preparing savory dinners or your grandmother’s time-honored pie recipes, Austin specialty food stores have you covered. They offer a wide range of ingredients, so your creations turn out perfectly every time. The shops near our Austin apartments include:

Antonelli’s Cheese Shop 

Two years after their honeymoon, John and Kendall Antonelli proudly opened Antonelli’s Cheese Shop. The store began from humble beginnings. It has since grown to offer private events and public cheese tastings you don’t want to miss. The varied selection features something for every recipe. You’ll find choices like L’Amuse gouda, cheddar, and plain chevre. You can also shop for olives, wine, and so much more. 

Central Market 

The Central Market designs every department to delight the senses. One of the top-rated Austin specialty food stores, this friendly team knows all about food. They’ll gladly answer your questions and help you find the perfect ingredients. The varied selection includes fresh produce, Chilean sea bass fillets, and chicken broth for hearty soups. To save time, shop online and pick up your order curbside. Along with the groceries, the Central Market also offers a cooking school. Skilled instructors lead every class, and they’ll help you learn new techniques while perfecting your pairings. 

Dia’s Market 

An Austin fixture, Dia’s Market is a locally owned micro-grocer. It works to meet your food needs in “a unique, healthy, friendly, and convenient way.” Co-owner David always dreamed of opening a specialty food store. He earned a business degree and worked in the grocery industry before opening the shop. As you wander the aisles, you’ll find a wide range of high-quality products. Choices include spices, pasta, and yogurt. 

Austin specialty food stores are the perfect place to plan your next gourmet meal. When you want a night off from cooking, treat yourself to some lobster rolls at a local restaurant.
