Max Market

We stopped in here for dinner — after first eating our dessert next door. There were two gentlemen working and they were both super friendly. The gentleman in the deli (he may have been Max) told us about the specials and pointed out a few of their other options.
I mentioned to said gentleman — (we’ll call him Max) — that it reminded me of east coast style shops. Max — who has lived in Manhattan– replied that it was their own bodega in Denver.
There were many interesting hot and cold grinder options, a soup of the day (broccoli cheese) a panini of the day (beef brisket I believe) and a pot roast and mashed potato dinner to go. You could also eat there as there were a few small tables in the corner as well as counter seating facing the street.
Grab and go salads, black and white cookies and pastries were also available. There was produce, toiletries and other necessities and the store was very neat and clean.
We chatted with Max, as he made my delicious turkey grinder on a Philly style roll, and he talked about how excited the neighborhood was that they were there — I can definitely see why. Max’s felt and tasted like home.
Bonus when you check in you get 10% off your order so they show some Unilocal love as well.

I work a hop, skip and a jump away from Max Market. My coworker visited a few times before I did and definitely had me interested with his lunch choices. I have yet to try their lunches, but I’ve had breakfast from there twice. The first time I ordered the country breakfast burrito. It was just the right amount of ingredients inside and very delicious as well. The second time I ordered the English muffin with eggs, bacon and cheese. The English muffin was toasted perfectly, and once again the perfect amount of ingredients were used. I spoke with Max and Dave and both of them were super friendly and informative about their products. I will definitely be frequenting Max Market for my soup and sandwich lunch. I love the variety of sandwiches they can prepare and the soup is delicious. Stop by and give it a try if you live or work in the area.

I’ve been waiting for a market like this to pop up in the neighborhood!
Awesome seleciton of hot foods (breakfast, lunch, and dinner!, coffees, pastries, and grab-​and-​go meals — perfect for on the way to work. AND a great selection of necessities that will help avoid a treck to the grocery story.
A much-​needed addition to this part of town.

Friendly service, great coffee, and to die for croissants. Even when they don’t have the croissant I want I still leave there with a smile. Customer service is the friendliest around.

For a small neighborhood market and kitchen I don’t think you can best what Max has going on. The selection of items on the shelf are obviously limited (compared to a super market), but very comprehensive all at the same time in terms of what they cover. Don’t see something you know you’ll buy often? Let them know! They seem to be very responsive!
Their deli/​kitchen counter has some awesome meals made by (most of the time) Max himself or one of his staff. The sandwiches are tasty, and made with some solid ingredients, the soups are out of this world. They even carry Little Man Ice Cream. (and are next door to one of the most amazing dessert places in the city — the Inventing Room)
But one of the biggest perks for me is the coffee… Max’s brews Box Car beans and its f’n fantastic. Worth every penny.
We are very, very fortunate to have a place run with so much care, and attentiveness to what the customers want so close by. This area of Denver was a bit of a food desert. But with the new King Soopers opening a few blocks away for your big grocery runs, and now Max’s for a quick errand, or a bite to eat… this is changing the face of the Ballpark.
I hope all our neighbors stop by and give them a try, we need to support local establishments like this!

Finally a place in the neighborhood to get fresh produce & quick, healthy food.
It is a small market where you can pick up your staples & they have a sandwich & hot food bar where Max preps a daily lunch & dinner specials.
This place is locally owned which makes it even better. Max is always there cooking up good hot meals & incredibly friendly.
There is a a lot of promise to this new little neighborhood gem.

Welcome to the neighborhood! Definitely a work in progress, but Downtown needs more small markets.
We stopped in since we were right there, lots of promise, we weren’t shopping or hungry, but will try them soon!
