Usaj RealtyOctober 16, 2014Goto spot on a weekday for coffee or homemade faire for lunch. Little known secret, they said "no" to one of the larger financial firms in the world when they shut down Larimer for a private party!
RaynaApril 28, 2015Cozy place to study, relaxed environment. Nice change of pace compared to other cafes in Denver. They serve (pricey) alcohol and what seems like great food. Large selection of tea, plenty of outlets
Abdulmohsin AlobidMarch 15, 2012If you are in the campus and you wanna get some brunch and studying at the same time, The Market Cafe is great for you. Spring Fling cake is one of my favorite desserts they got, you must try it.
So many good things that my head was spinning. I can at least recommend the apricot pork loin sandwich and pasta salad with sundried tomato and goat cheese. Looking forward to my next lunch there.
Irina PinedaAugust 12, 2019My favorite: spring cake! Just the best of the best in cakes I ever had. Definitely my reason to comeback to Denver downtown.
Lesya KlymenkoMarch 19, 2013One of the best spots with atmosphere around the campus. The coffee is great. Plus, their food is delicious. It can get pricey, but the food and the ingredients are well worth it.
Jessica ToliuszisAugust 16, 2015As authentic as it gets. I felt like I was in a European cafe and market. Forget Snooze, go here for breakfast / brunch
Jillian WardMarch 21, 2013This place is great... It's affordable (yes, college students - you can afford it!) and hip and cozy. Great for drinking something to get you going in the morning while catching up on hw.
BigRyanParkDecember 18, 2013The city life, NY Jewish deli ambience is what makes this place a winner. Enjoy a hot cup of coffee and deli sandwich, and enjoy your surroundings!
Sarah ShouldersJuly 16, 2012The Spring Fling cake is the best cake in the world!!! Zucchini cake with layers of fresh fruit and cream cheese frosting. Delish!
Kate LampkinApril 15, 2012They carry Udi's gluten free bread for sandwiches, and are very knowledgeable about gluten free and cross-contamination concerns. They're awesome!!! And the sandwiches are delicious!
Kelly SchneiderOctober 9, 2016So cute! Breakfast sandwiches are big and prepared well. Coffee can take a while as there's always a line but cute spot for a quick breakfast.
Jenna WebbJune 11, 2013Found this place on Yelp while traveling. Great place with great food! Got the vegetarian sandwich and it was delicious! And I'm far from a vegetarian!
House Hunters ColoradoMarch 21, 2015Everything is great at the market! Enjoy coffee, pastries, lunch, wifi and great atmosphere.
Evan CumpstonMarch 14, 2012There are some quiet tables in the back that are a great study spot! I would love to see The Market Cafe do more promotions to students and incorporate deals through FourSquare.
Anne MarieMarch 16, 2012I love coming here on Thursday mornings and reading the latest edition of The Westword. It's peaceful, and the food/coffee is delicious. So close to campus... no excuse not to try it.
Doug McCreadyMarch 25, 2016Super good food, all homemade. They also sell local foods and vegetables, as well as several varieties of honey.
Really very good food and coffee. They have strange processes where to order, pay and collect your food though. I went twice and the staff was not very friendly and helpfull both times.
Jason AJuly 9, 2013Great atmosphere. Fantastic sandwiches. But DO NOT come here to get work done. I've tried many times, but their WiFi connection is always fussy and slow.
Thomas KapaunMarch 16, 2012I was impressed with the good, friendly service. Also the food is fresh and superb I recommend the roast beef sandwich followed by a fresh fruit tart, the best I've ever had.
Nica MulvaneyMarch 9, 2015I was confused on my first time there but the staff helped me and the food was awesome :)
Gabby CotteeSeptember 8, 2014The vegetarian breakfast burrito was so fresh and tasty. Definitely a cool place to do work and have a bite!
Tip#2 when ordering a spring filling cake make sure u tell them u want them to bake it on the same pick up day so it's more fresh and the bread is moist.- Jason AAugust 27, 2014Great sandwiches, pastries and coffee. Do not come to the Market to work online; wifi connection is always poor.
Jesse CallSeptember 2, 2014Hot portobello sandwich is delicious. Be prepared to wait an eternity, but it's worth it.
VallyriApril 28, 2016Lemon meringue cake is so good! German chocolate brownies run out fast during the week.
Holden UCDMarch 22, 2013Good coffee, and great environment for a lunch date or a good place to study with a little bit of ambiance.
Brittany BurtonNovember 3, 2012Highly suggest this place- very Euro in set up and great selection. Best sandwich so far in Denver!
Crystal McBradyDecember 8, 2015The hot chocolate is amazing. Definitely something to try if you're in the area.- Tip#3 If you want no pickle or a specific type of bread on your sandwich let them know 3 times and check your food before heading out the door
JoeFebruary 19, 2018Fairly overpriced, but so is everything in Denver. The ordering process is confusing and wonky, but the food is delicious.- Jared KeeleMarch 20, 2013Great coffee, great people. It has been in this exact spot for 30 years as of this last Sunday the 17th!
Try the black currant tea made with milk. It's one of the favorite things to wind down the day with.
Sal BlackfriendNovember 29, 2012A) get the Milky Way latte, it's worth it. B) don't come after 8, most of the staff turn into gremlins.
Aside from great ambiance and tasty grub they've also got an awesome selection of import/elite candies, chocolates, teas, balms etc.
Domenic RubioFebruary 19, 2011For a light snack grab a small bowl of the gnocchi salad.... You'll be haunted by the savory deliciousness for years
Leonardo De La RochaApril 8, 2012The Cafe Mocha Mint is scrumptious. The small is plenty for kicking off your day.
Conor HorriganOctober 7, 2011Essential breakfast spot. The coffee is divine, and the grub is plentiful, diverse and rib-sticking!
I was very excited about the Spring Fling from the comments, but it was underwhelming to me. Go for the cheese blintz instead!
Brandon WestJanuary 9, 2013Sandwiches are big! A half is definitely enough unless you're really hungry.- I wasn't impressed with the spring cake. But the chocolate croissants are great. Wonderful baristas!
Jon RaphaelsonMarch 25, 2011Table in the back corner by the back door is nice, quieter, and not as stiflingly hot as the rest of the inside.- Tip#1 make sure the person making your sandwich/food wears gloves and isn't eating behind the counter while doing it.
Reynolds W.October 2, 2010Love this place....low key, try breakie, coffee on porch. lunch selections good too.
