I visited Denver for a weekend. The 3 days that I was visiting, I went to The Denver Central Market twice! Once for breakfast, and another time for dinner. This place is so cute! It has a little bit of everything and lots of seating. Located on a great street - Larimer St. When you walk through the door, Creama is located directly to the right. I would recommend their vanilla latte! Then walk over and get a pastry at izzio bakery! I had their pudding croissant and it was delicious! I dont usually like pudding, but this one was a winner. I didnt get a chance to try their ice cream shop or chocolate shop, but I will when I come back later this year. For dinner, I tried Silvas the seafood shop. Yum! So fresh and delicious. I had the poke and clam chowder. I would recommend. Theres a whole other side of the market that I did not get to try. They have sandwiches, pizza, a small green market and hot comfort foods. Restroom review: When you walk through the doors, walk straight back, pass Silvas and the restrooms are located on the left. The womens restroom was cute and clean. White subway tiles to give it that charm. However, the two times that I was in here, I encountered very interesting people. The first time, there was a lady who seem to be struggling with the restroom. She must have been in there 20 minutes or so. Many people came and gone yet she was still in the stall. Then when she was finally out, she was struggling to put her pants on. The second time, there was a young girl in one of the stalls and she was singing. She was singing soft and then it got louder as the duration got longer.

Im so elated that the hipster food hall scene has made its way to Denver! The DCM is absolutely adorable with its grungy gentrified exposed brick steampunk vibe that is so in these days, and it almost doesnt feel like real life when you walk in. The space is on the smaller side for a food hall, but I like how it makes for a cozier and quieter vibe. There is a little bit of everything-- seafood, italian, baked goods, coffee, and libations. I had a caramel latte from Crema (mm a tad overpriced and just okayy) and a nutella "queen" from Izzio Bakery (probably the best kouign amann ive ever had -- yes, even dare I say compared to Dominique Ansels... and it was still delicious 3 days later when I finally finished it off back in Texas). I will have to come back next time when Im hungrier and actually try some of the food! It would be so much fun to live in the area and have DCM just be around the corner. My question is-- who actually buys their groceries from that far-too-perfect, picturesque little produce booth in the back corner? Im sure everything they sell costs a fortune. But hey, I guess if youre gonna live the true hipster life, you gotta go all in, right? Even if it means heading next door from your $2200/month studio apartment and paying $5 for an avocado. ;) By the way, be sure to drive around and check out the amazing street art on the buildings and alleyways. Tons of cool photo ops!

This place is amazing- great vendors offering great products in a beautiful open communal space. Crema Bodega- multi-roaster beans available for purchase as well as all fresh coffee to enjoy. They have a little mini mart setup as well. Culture Meat and Cheese- a finely curated assortment of cheeses and cured meats available as well as an assortment of items you would hope to find in accompaniment (crackers, etc...) Wonderful sandwiches and platters available to enjoy on-site. Curio- the gorgeous well stocked bar. Green Seed- Fresh produce and awesome salads. High Point Creamery- if you like ice cream, youve found nirvana. Vegan flavors available as well. izzio Bakery- I buy all my bread here. This place is a pastry and bread wonderland. They also serve brunch on weekends in addition to a massive breakfast burrito and some lovely toasts that are available every day. Silvas- fresh, delicious fish. Great ceviches, oysters, calamari, and rotating seafood specials available for order as well. SK Provisions- the deli elevated. Temper Chocolates- edible art that you almost feel bad eating. Until you do and then you forget about how pretty it was because its so damn good. The Local Butcher- Meat paradise and the best deal on pastured eggs in town. Vero Italian- wood fired pizza, fresh pastas and small italian grocer all wrapped in one.

Experiance ForEver

The interior design is ok, this is why I give 2 stars. The market it is actually very snobbish plase. And it is not market but mainly a plase to eat very expensive food. And buy "organic" veggies or meat or spaghetti and salsa if you like, I believe I saw also fish, this is one stand each, which make it like 4/6 stands. But is just a bad copy of European markets. After a small walk I decided to buy croissant... they didnt have the classical one with nutella(chocolate), so I buy 3 empty ones and 2 covered with Edmonds! The girl behind the bar did make me repeat my order like 5 times! Very rude! She denied to give me napkins indicating the stand near buy. This pleasure of having a rude person and 5 croissants cost me 20$! Ones I walked away I remained with a bitter feeling, thanking:"never again"...Probably she was mentally retired, or I give impression to be one, despite I speek 4 languages. So walking access I noticed that it is extremely noisy and stressful around, there is a lot of glassrd , plates smashing and people talking loud. Me personally I didnt like it. I walk away with my treasure bag,...the croissant was fine...But I was thinking that in Italy the same thing cost 0.90 cents.... I guess the flour in America cost way more!

Wow! What a great addition to not only RiNo, but Denver in general. Went on opening day, so it was pretty busy, not too much to ruin the experience. Plenty space and seating. I tried the "pappa" pasta from the Italian joint, along with iced coffee from the coffee shop. The pasta was amazing, and the coffee was good as well. Tried a couple scoops of coconut creme brule ice cream and it blew my world away! I wished so badly I could try more but I was full at that point. The atmosphere is amazing, and it fits so well on that block with adjacent businesses and street art. Definitely worth checking out, whether you are on your way home from work, or need something to do on the weekend.

Denver Central Market is so much fun, tasty and visually engaging. There were 5 of us from the age of 3 to 69. There was food for everyone, drinks for everyone (a nice bar and knowledgeable staff) and the variety of seating (bar height and regular tables) worked for us. We tried the meat and cheese board from Culture Meat & Cheese (very good), chicken and pork tacos and fries from SK Provisions (good too), fried calamari (great with the coleslaw) and sashimi from Silvas Fish Market, and chocolates (some were very smooth and good, a few were somewhat dry) from Temper. We will definitely be going back, and going early because seating goes quickly.

I was waiting for my $15 truffle drenched pizza with two over easy eggs nestled into its center when I over heard a women calling to her flailing child. "Lincoln, you LET GO of my scarf!". I snorted, "Lincoln" I thought, what a yuppie name. She turned to her second child and yelled "Nixon, lets GO!" My jaw dropped. While still catching flies I made direct eye contact with the father holding the third child. I couldnt look away. A disapprovingly glare drilled into my soul as I thought "Ford? Jackson? Probably Jackson...". They serve Genesee on tap and the pizza is delicious. Great place to meet white people.
