The Kosher Store @ H-E-B

The Kosher Store @ H‑E‑B, located inside the H‑E‑B on Village Center Drive in the bustling Village neighborhood of Austin, serves as the city’s most convenient kosher eatery. Operated by Chabad of Austin, the store is overseen by Rabbi David Cohen, who also acts as the culinary director. Signature items include the slow‑roasted kosher brisket sandwich on fresh rye, a house‑made falafel wrap with tahini sauce, and a classic bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese that follows strict kosher guidelines. The deli offers ready‑to‑eat meals such as chicken soup with matzo balls, beef stew, and a weekly “Kosher Meal on Wheels” package delivered to seniors. Opening hours are Monday through Friday 9 am‑8 pm, Saturday 10 am‑6 pm, and Sunday 11 am‑5 pm, with a moderate price range of $10‑$30 per entrée. Inside, the space is bright, with blue‑white décor, communal tables, and a small prayer corner for daily minyan. Families appreciate the child‑friendly high chairs and the nearby playground at the Village Center park. Visitors can also explore the adjacent H‑E‑B grocery aisles, which stock a full range of kosher products curated by Chabad. Whether you are looking for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a kosher grocery run, The Kosher Store @ H‑E‑B blends convenience, tradition, and a welcoming atmosphere in the heart of Austin.
