Central Kitchen Features Blended Personality

Tailored, classic details give Central Kitchen a uniquely blended personality that reflects the character of its Corpus Christi locale and feels like home - or in owner Richard Lomax's words: “A really damn good bakery that meets people where they are.” 

To complete the 3,500-sq.-ft. remodel, he turned to Houston-based gin design group. The award-winning firm has spent the last decade shaping Houston's burgeoning hospitality scene.

The interior is clad with floor-to-ceiling green and white handmade tile. Warm wood tones abound, accented by terracotta and greenery, and touches of nostalgia, like individually sourced vintage flour sacks framed on the walls and a custom collage of cutting boards and rolling pins by local artisan Hannah Bailey. Copper pots stand out against the green tile over the wood burning oven, and roomy upholstered banquettes invite guests to hang a while.
