Great market in the heart of Poulsbo! Minimalist in their decor of the place and it totally works. Truly one of the best grocery stores weve ever been to. The produce selection is pretty amazing, the seafood choices vast, but the true magic here is when all this is combined with the beer selection. The selection of darks, Belgians, German brews, microbrews, classics and anything else youre looking for was incredible. Weve only been a couple places that have a larger selection and its all they do. The wine selection was impressive as well. A favorite spot was also the chocolates area which included a number of truffles shaped like animals. Cute and delicous = Win! Theyve got just about everything youre looking for here and they do it will satisfying the pragmatist in you, your adventurous side and, if youre into it, the hippie in you that desires organic things that lack addition nutrients, but make you feel warm inside and cost more. Overall, this place is simply spendid! More practical than whole foods or trader joes, but with a lot of the same feel and selection. More expensive than walmart, but l comparable to most places in the area. Truthfully, its really like Safeway and Whole Foods had a baby. In any case, whatever your shopping preference, this place will fulfill it - Awesomeness abounds!

Its true that you can find anything here and the selection is great. But the people who work there are ok in attitude. Theyre not amazing. Ive been in customer service and its hard, no doubt about it. Customers are more entitled/rude than ever. But I always want staff to be friendly. Some cashiers are fine. But no one is welcoming/super friendly. This is especially true in the pharmacy. - The pharmacists (Dave especially) are super. But the if theres an issue, its like the assistants in back seem to be gritting their teeth in order to make it through the day. I understand how frustrating people coming in can be, saying their prescriptions should be ready and arent or they give the wrong last name. I just want them to smile and not feel almost apologetic for wanting to pick up an RX.- I have to say the exception to this (aside from the pharmacists), is the petite woman and other staff in the supplement area. THEY are friendly and helpful and know their stuff. - I didnt have any terrible experiences and have thought about writing this for a while, so its not in response to anything negative. Ive been in Poulsbo for 7-8 years and have always felt that way about this store.

Another arbitrary closing by the pharmacy department. I went to pick up prescriptions this evening and arrived shortly after 7pm only to find a typed notice of new hours??? I have a wife who needs medication when she needs it and we time errands accordingly. Fortunately we have enough until tomorrow at which time I will pick up my last prescriptions from Central market and go to Safeway. They have a responsibility to the community to provide medication within set hours and this is the second time they adjusted their hours without letting customers know. No store is that good. Im done.

This place is just fantastic. They are open 24 hours a day, 364 days out of the year. The only day they take off is Christmas day! Great selection of fresh and organic foods and produce, and one of my favorite places to get coffee in North Kitsap. The deli has great options for a quick meal, the pizza is good, and they have some excellent heat & serve options avaliable around the clock. Seafood counter always has fresh shellfish and salmon, just all around wonderful place to shop. Be sure to say "hi" to Dexter, the resident starfish!!

The best grocery store on the Kitsap Peninsula. Amazing live seafood department that smells clean as a whistle. Crab, clams, oysters, and lobster alive and kicking. Produce department has rarely seen fruits and vegetables and extensive organic selection. Asian section, bulk bins, domestic and international artisanal cheeses, antipasta bar, and butcher department are all top notch. I feel lucky to have this grocery store in the area. On top of all that, they pretty good sushi inside and there is barbecue out front in the summer. Open 24 hours.

This is a great store. They have BBQ, hot dogs & pizza (take and bake or hot), coffee, a flower shop, homemade tortillas, a hot food counter, a deli with hot or cold food, sushi, a pharmacy, a bakery, a meat and seafood counters, a huge selection of delicious produce (organic too) and a wide variety of groceries (including organics, vegetarian, gluten free, vegan, ...all kinds of "alternative foods"). Plus theyre a local company, a chain of 3 stores in the area and they treat their employees well.

Love the wide variety of products they have here. They typically have harder to find meats like venison, elk, and boar. Plus a nice selection of raw bones and organs, great for my dog! Good variety of international foods and ingredients. Love the high quality and local produce and meats. The only reason I dont give them 5 stars is theyre pretty pricey. I wish theyd make more of an effort to lower prices a bit. Because of that I dont come here as often as Id like.

Central market had the highest quality of food and employees a grocery store can have. From their fresh sushi, to their 12hr smoked brisket. This store has it all. The beer and wine section is always stocked full, and the workers always have the prefect advice for a drink to match your meal. They even have a section in the store where cooks will show you how to use local, fresh, and on sale products to make the prefect meal. Lets just say, I could live here!

Being in this store is like a meditation for me; I lose complete track of everything else in life. I get totally lost in all of the amazing things, and have spent hours there by accident. So impressed with quality, selection, variety and service. Easily the best grocery store Ive ever stepped foot in. Try the pizza by the slice while youre in there. Best biscuits and gravy Ive ever had in the coffee shop.

One of my favorite grocery stores ever. Its like a giant Trader Joes. It has the most amazing live fish for sale... Its like buying fish straight out of the aquarium. Their produce section is vast, and their exotic foods selection can keep you entertained for hours. They have a sit-down deli with a wide selection of prepared foods. Youll have a hard time choosing among them.

Overall, a great selection of items, but many of the deli items could use some work. Like that Kung Pao chicken dish. Oh. My. God. The nastiest thing my taste buds have ever been acquainted with. Nothing like how it should taste...that dark brown sauce is something awful and pretty salty. Whoever thought this was fit for public consumption needs to re-think this one.

I was trying to find a place to substitute for Albertsons [my mother had gone there for 30 years], and I went to Central Market today, where I was helped by a LOT of nice people like Dave who showed me where the ant traps were, and the nice guy at the 20 items or less register who joked with me about paper vs plastic. I know where Ill go now! janetmarie

Simply a One-Stop shop for specialty, organic, fair trade, and local groceries. Of course the prices are very high but you get what you pay for. The service is fantastic and the layout so beautiful. This is the place to try something new. Its an amazing resource for gluten-free, no soy, no egg, no dairy, or Vegan Cooking.
