What People Are Saying About Market

In Short – Everyone from businesspeople and pierced students to families and in-line skaters frequent this sidewalk cafe. This dessert heaven features cookies, cakes, tortes, pastries and muffins prepared on-site. Sandwiches are made to order with high-quality meats and cheeses. More than 60 salads, including mango-strawberry, are available. Allegro coffees and a wide selection of teas are prepared in fine European coffeehouse tradition: Rich and satisfying brews are served in ceramic cups and thick glasses.

A million delicious choices
by caphillgirl at Citysearch
I really enjoy the Market. If you cannot decide what you want to eat, or you are with a group that can't come to an agreement, this is the perfect place. There are sandwiches, hot food selections, a salad bar, many pasta salads, cakes, ice cream, and pastries. The Market also has a large selection of beverages from a coffee bar to wine to soda and juice. I think the sandwiches may be a bit overpriced, but the rest of the food here is very fairly priced and the portions are huge. I work downtown and regularly go here for both lunch and dinner, the Market is open late. I have recommended the Market to many co workers who wanted to go to lunch together but could not agree or did not know what the others would like to eat, and they always come back happy. Also a great place for kids!
- Cons: uncomfortable seating and average staff

Overpriced, over-rated mediocrity
by AnotherBostonTransplant at Citysearch
I am very surprised to read all of the rave reviews of The Market on this site. I work right around the corner and have stopped in many times for coffee, other beverages, or sandwiches. Every time I have gone here I have been beyond disappointed with the quality of the food, the service provided and the value for the price. Although the store itself is very charming and has great outdoor seating--good for people-watching and enjoying the sunny Denver weather--the prices here reflect more on their probable high rent rather than the quality of their food. A basic turkey sandwich with lettuce, a slice of cheese, mediocre bread and yellow French's-type mustard ran me about $7-8. The bread tasted like a supermarket roll, the lettuce was plain old iceburg (not even some Romaine?) and it did not even come with anything other than a wilted pickle--not even a deli pickle. I know that CO is not a mecca for deli's and as an East-coaster I should not have the same expectations as I would of ones in NY, Boston or Philly,--but really, how can they charge what they charge for this mediocre food? It honestly is overpriced Subway. I paid over $3.50 for an iced coffee this afternoon, and I even brought my own travel mug. The Tattered Cover does not even charge this much and they tend to be a little pricy as well. When I asked if the price of the coffee was inflated for the DNC I was told that their cold-brew 'Toddy' process was more expensive. I own a Toddy coffee maker-it is essentially a plastic bowl with a hole on the bottom. You steep the coffee in cold water and then let it filter through. It is absolutely not more expensive than brewing regular drip coffee. Service at the coffee bar is better than at the deli or the bakery counters--prepare to wait in a long, slow and inefficient lines for overpriced sandwiches and baked goods. I wish I could say something positive, and I do occasionally return in hopes of a better experience but today's visit will likely be my last.
- Pros: Pretty building, nice ambiance, great outdoor seating
- Cons: Pretty much everything else. Price, quality, slow service, very poor value for money

The Experience
by kenzie333 at Citysearch
I started going to the Market with my mom when I was a little girl for our ?coffee dates? and have always loved it. Over the last 15 years Larimer Square has gone through numerous vendors but the Market has remained in tact. They have a wonderful coffee bar and deli, and a great selection of sweets to enjoy with your coffee or after your meal. It?s a great place to meet friends, people watch (especially outside in the summer), read a book, or bring your laptop to catch-up on work. If you like variety, this is the place for you. This is one of my favorite spots in Denver and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a fun experience.
- Pros: Ambeince, Variety, Cheap Eats, People Watching, Experience
