The Milk Pail Local Market & Drive Thru

We just found this hidden gem doing «drive thrus» of area strip malls. Color my wife and I happy that we found it. Small? I prefer the word intimate. Very friendly and knowledgeable owner. Nice selection of gourmet items that you’d have to travel to Central Market to find and probably some aren’t even there. Some standouts, bread baked at Dallas’ Empire Bakery and Milk Stout from Longmont, Colorado’s Left Hand Brewery. Can’t wait to run out of the things we bought so we can go back.

Great store with a surprisingly good selection. Prices were fair, especially on basic grocery items (specialty items come with a specialty price tag). As the other reviewer said, the owner is super nice and helpful, which makes it a pleasant experience. Next time I’ll try the drive-​thru. Apparently they have events too. Like this week, (May 22^nd) they are having a complimentary wine and food tasting. You can sign up for their newsletter to get updates.

Very very nice owner! We go in to buy chili like peanuts often and the owner is so nice. We will be going back. They get bread delivered from an awesome bakery in Dallas on wed and sat. So be sure to get it while it’s fresh and still warm :-)

I really liked this place. It had a lot of interesting things I hadn’t seen before like Strawberry Jalapeño Preserves or Pumpkin Butter. They had some samples in the front for their salsas, pickled beets, the aforementioned pumpkin butter. Everything tasted really good. I especially loved the salsas. The red one is delicious. The green one, I think it was a tomatillo avocado salsa, had a bit of a kick. I wanted to buy a lot of stuff, but I was flying out in a couple days and I wouldn’t be able to take it with me. I bought a jar of chipotle olives and my boyfriend got a jar of the red salsa. I’m really only talking about one shelf of items because that’s mainly what I looked at, but this place had a lot of interesting things for a small shop. Definitely worth checking out.
