Cook’s Fresh Market

Be careful with catering. My non-​profit (that serves women struggling with homelessness) decided to use Cook’s Fresh Market for a Thanksgiving party for our clients. When we arrived to pick up our 3 turkeys for the 1:00 — 3:00 party, the staff at Cook’s had the wrong date — they were expecting us the next day. They told us they could still have the turkeys to us in 45 minutes, so although they would be late, they would still arrive during the party. Long story short, the turkeys arrived after 4:00. Party was over, most all of the women left without eating any turkey. To salt the wound, the store manager Dana blamed us for the incorrect date, and charged us full price. If you use this company for catering, make double, triple, quadruple sure that the staff has the correct information on what you need and when. And don’t expect the business to take accountability for mistakes. I would strongly discourage anyone from using this business for catering if reliability and customer service are qualities you value.

I came in around 7:30am and it was packed! It took about 20 minutes for my friends and I to get our hot breakfast sandwiches but it was worth the wait. Breakfast burrito, scrambled eggs&cheese on croissant, and ham&cheese panini, all scrumptiously delicious. They came with hot sauce on the side which was a nice surprise!
Then, I came back 3 hours later for coffee (the line was unbelievable at 7:30) and twice baked chocolate banana bread (see pic ;)). It’s a really chill and cute place to hang out, there’s free wifi and at leeast one outlet by the booths, and plenty of seating.
The prices are reasonable and there are so many snacks and groceries you can buy as well (Definitely coming back to buy Denver pickles to take home). The only problem I see is that there aren’t enough people working. There was one person working the coffee stand inside (taking orders and making the coffee), as well as only one person working the register. If you have time to wait, it’s worth it… but most people slipping in before work or between for lunch won’t have the time.

In town for business and staying at the Sheraton. Stopped by this cute little market to pick up some dessert and water. They have a good selection of home-​made sweets (Chocolate mousse, peanut butter brownie mousse, salted caramel brownies etc) and a small selection of usual grocery items like yogurt/​milk/​cheese/​crackers/​chips. Convenient for picking up essentials and the staff was very friendly.

I travel into Denver for work and dirty water dogs and chain places get old. Along comes Cooks Fresh Market to save the day. The food is well made and fresh. It’s a little pricy, but I don’t have a problem paying for it.
I usually get the Steak Salad and the Spicy Pasta Chicken Salad. The individual Veggie Quiche was a very pleasant surprise. I had the Steak Quesadilla that was very good. Could have used a little more steak, but it was very fresh, tasty and good.
They have a small frozen section, produce cooler, grocery and a meat counter that will be visited my next trip. My inner carnivore was happy to see the quality. They have a salad bar, sandwiches, soup and a fresh pastry section.
And from the folks behind the counters, to the checkout folks, it is a pleasant interaction that is not forced. Extra points to the chefs that double checked to see if I had a food allergy, due to a ticket confusion, and explained that he has separate bowls and utensils so my salad would not be cross contaminated with cheese or dairy. Bravo!
There is an inside and outside dining area. They have a coffee bar and salad bar.
All in all, this place is a culinary comfort zone for me. Always a pleasure to come here.

While in Denver, CO this past weekend, I discovered this cute, upscale fresh market while walking down 16^th Street. This higher end café/​deli market has not only fresh soups, fresh salad bar, made to order sandwiches but quality sweets as well. The pasole soup and hot duck sandwich with slivered onions were fantastic!!! The market is a smidge pricey but worth it if you’re looking for a change of pace from say Paradise Bakery, Kneaders or other chains.

After coming here WAY more I have to change my tune. I’ve gotten breakfast burritos, sandwiches, and dessert catered for my office, and lunch for myself quite a few times and it is a pretty solid spot. The Vegetarian toaster is SO. GOOD. the pesto aioli is amaze and I love that every sandwich comes with fruit or chips and a pickle.
I love what they are doing though they can skew a little expensive but at the end of the day, great take out lunch in Denver is $ 10 and this comes in a little under that.

My wife and I were looking for a lunch spot and went inside to check this place out. We each ordered the Super Salad — one with chicken and the other with salmon. Both were excellent with fresh ingredients.

Awesome, fresh, plentiful salad bar. I love that the change it up too. Last week they had roasted broccoli, which was a refreshing change of pace. It’s a bit expensive, but high quality ingredients.

Bomb!
Attended Aveda institute for over 1 yr and this place has become a staple since stumbling into it one early morning when Starbucks and einstiens was way overcrowded!
Can’t pass up there pasta salads!
There baked sandwiches are so yummy!
Nice selection of fresh handmade chocolates and cookies
Great nut and fruit snack selections, love the cheese they carry. Great rolls, yummy soup but not always vegetarian! But they do tend to stay away from pork inspired items and that is a HUGE PLUS FOR ME!

Great place to get a snack or a meal before watching a show at the Paramount. I ordered a small steak dish from the market and heated it up using the microwave provided at the front of the store. There are several tables where you can enjoy your purchase or take your food with you.

In town for a conference and stumbled across this place on a cold, snowy day. I was pleasantly surprised by the extensive selection of lunch items. Everything was super fresh and yummy! Had the combo with a butternut squash soup and half of a vegetarian toaster. Both were very delicious! I wish I had gotten a whole sandwich! Will be back for sure!

This place is great for throwing together a gourmet meal at the last minute, there are not a lot of grocery stores downtown, but if you miss something on your grocery list this is definitely the place to come to pick up those little extras, And if you’re not in the mood to cook their menu is really good I recommend the bacon and egg croissant for your morning commute to work, And now that they have remodeled it it’s a lot more room for wheelchairs :-)

Delicious fresh baked bread, baguettes, crossiants, cookies and other yum yums to go. (The peanut butter cookie is the BEST I have ever had in my life.) We just got back from Paris and got really spoiled by the abundance of corner eateries offering fresh baked bread everyday. Cook’s may not be Paris 5 star rated, but still the breads are still fresh and delicious. So glad Cook’s is right on our corner. Oh, and try the pistachio canoli! Holy Moly! Ps: The grocery items are great too, but very expensive.

FIVE star (extra star for being downtown) products for downtown urban living on the run. A Nordstrom of ⁷⁄₁₁.
Clean friendly super fast and tasty stuff.

This place always has something delicious! So many options– soups, salads, hot or cold sandwiches, baked goods, coffee, breakfast burritos and sandwiches in the morning, etc. They also have a deli counter with several different prepared foods that you can purchase by the pint/​half pint. It can be a bit pricey, but it’s quality food!

This is a great place for getting fresh meals made to order. It reminds me a little of Bristol Farms and Whole Foods but more intimate and delicious.
They have a short list menu on the wall. Order your meal and as you wait for your order, walk around… they have cheese, meats, fruit, breads and a variety of sundries.
Once you get you meal… a ordered an awesome Florentine Chicken quesadilla… awesome fresh flavor… get in line and pay for all the good stuff… i got some cheese, chips and chocolate to accompany my meal.
I definite gem on 16^th street… Please visit… yum yum yummy…

Went to a convention this past week, and decided to stop here every morning and buy lunch stuff to bring with me to the CCC. So glad I did! Cook’s Market was quick, clean, and had delicious chow choices every day for me. I bought little pre-​made sandwiches from the cooler, but there was also the option of ordering at the deli counter. There’s a coffee counter to get your caffeine fix at while you wait for your sandwich to come up. And the morning checkout lady was personable and friendly, and even got to remembering me after the first few mornings I stopped in.
After going to my conference and seeing people waiting in long lines to pay exorbitant prices at the Colorado Convention Center’s various food options, I’m really glad I chose to go to Cook’s instead. Much better food, at better prices, and I was in and out in a flash every morning. Would definitely go this route again if I ever find myself back in Denver.

Went in there around 5:30. We ordered a Denver BLT sandwich, which came with chips or fruit, and for a limited time, a taster’s portion of vanilla or chocolate fro yo. Also got 2 salads, the duck and the steak. Service was courteous. The salads were drenched in dressing, and tasted anything but fresh. Maybe they were better at lunch, but these were jacked up. The Missus is a spendthrift, and takes any leftovers to go – no matter how big/​small/​tasty/​tasteless. She threw out her salad after 5 bites. Denver BLT was fine enough, not great (and not a traditional BLT, so if that’s what you want, this isn’t your sandwich). Good bacon though. The retail section of the place had some great foodie brands, and a great ice cream that is pretty hard to find. But don’t eat here unless it’s lunch hour rush – when the food is hopefully fresher.

It’s a cute place in the middle of 16^th street.
But most everything is overpriced.
The sandwiches and salads and the best deal and pretty tasty.
The cheese options are interesting and delicious, but still pretty costly.
There are some fun bottles of oil, vinegar and yummies…
Its a good options for foodie things, if you need them quick and can’t get out of the city!

Great selection of snacks, salads, pre-​made deli options, sandwiches, and drinks. I like the fresh options. Unfortunately, for me, I picked a pre-​made salad and it was not good. The lettuce underneath the top layer in the container wasn’t super fresh and the other stuff in the salad wasn’t very crunchy. The dressing was fantastic however… If I had another option and was willing to spend more money — I would have gotten a freshly made salad. Also, there is a self-​serve salad bar in the back that I didn’t notice until after I had already bought my food.
Anyhow, the best thing I got from here was some advertised locally made fudge pieces bought on a whim at the register. Definitely reminded me never to discount mini treats.
Hint: if you want to use the bathroom — you have to buy something and then they give you a code for the door on the receipt.
