Cissi’s Market & Wine Bar opened in early February 2007 in the heart of South Congress. The goal was to be a market that serves its neighbors’ needs: whether they love to cook, or love to eat or just love to hang out. Sleek, yet homey, full of light and energy, staffed by happy, helpful, imaginative people. Before you even step inside, you know you want to be here. That unique South Congress energy, the tantalizing smells, and the murmur of happy people draw you in. Guests will find gourmet sandwiches, fantastically prepared foods and recipes rotating frequently, an in-store bakery with fresh baked goodies, a juice bar, designer Kohana coffee, an impressive beer & selection that compliments a meal or turns a casual encounter into a great memory. If you are one of our DIY guests, you’ll find gourmet groceries and organic produce, impeccably fresh fish and a wide variety of fresh meets. Cissi's is as casual or as elegant as you need us to be, whether you love to cook or simply love to eat. But we're much more than a market. We're a front porch, a back yard. A place to recover from a bad day or to celebrate a good one. A place to meet friends and make friends. A place to plan a meal, share a meal or simply discuss a meal. The preparing and sharing of food is not only an act of love, it is social currency, and it is always time well spent. We look forward to our time with you. Tell us what your dream is and we'll make it happen: whether it's cocktails for two or a multi-course banquet for heads of state. Our catering staff has the experience and imagination to make your party the talk of the town and your guests insist you do it again. We love when that happens.
