NOW CLOSED...Formerly: eatZi's is the queen of all markets, offering nearly anything you could want, prepared any way you could want it, and available from before dawn to past dusk. It's a concept that's perfect for today's on-the-go but health-conscious society, and it has so many options that you may find yourself stopping in multiple times a week, if not in the same day.
With five markets scattered around Texas, Georgia and Maryland, this mini-chain offers real chefs and bakers (i.e. culinary school grads) and about a dozen different "stations." These areas range from a bakery with European-style breads to a cheese cave to a make-your-own sandwich and salad station to a display that's stocked daily with nearly 100 freshly pre-prepared foods. The eatZi's people want the market to be your refrigerator, and with restaurant-quality food for cafeteria-quality prices, their wish just might come true.
It's hard to internalize how many different foods are in front of you let alone pick out what looks best. In the bakery, the white chocolate apricot bread is to die for, as is the chocolate oblivion cake. For a more hearty meal, try the flank steak (you pick how it's cooked) and the wild rice and pecan salad. eatZi's pale yellow and sea green walls, free wifi and seating for more than 100 invite you to sit and relax with a cup of coffee on a day off or as relief from the office during your lunch break.
