Supermarkets in Aurora, CO

“If you are tired of shopping at one of the big chain grocery stores and are looking for something unique with tradition behind it, Tradishn Market & Café might be for you. As I was able to finally utilize this Eastern European/Central Asian store early afternoon on a beautiful Monday, I felt compelled to write about my experience. It's located in this quiet strip mall in the southeastern corner of E Smokey Hill Rd and Chambers, its existence is somewhat overshadowed by the sports bar next door. Had I not come to this mall to work my side gig shift at the very bar, I don't think I would have ever found this cute market/deli/café. Small markets such as this tend to sell the normal groceries with higher price tags. I think I at least saw a review left by one of the past users who said it. And yet, based on my shopping experience this afternoon, I somewhat disagree to that opinion. I didn't buy much. As my refrigerator still had good variety of foods left, I only wanted a few to several items: namely rare finds. When I try a business that I have never used before, I bring my authentic self with curiosity bigger than one of the 14ers in Colorado. Hence, I arrived to it with so much expectation and anticipation. The store looked quiet at 12:50pm. Instead of the workers, one of the patrons who said he lived across from the street said a pleasant hi to me. He was enjoying his little him time at one of the tables upfront. Inside is quite modern. And cute/adorable as well. After passing the café area where they can make drinks, I proceeded to what appeared to be the deli section. Then I immediately saw their "prepared" foods. After carefully investigating each one, I grabbed the attention of one of the ladies all the way to the meat section for assistance. I picked what appeared to be rolled cabbage meat (so no cabbage around it; it appeared to be chicken so chicken hamburger meat type thing), stirred fried veggies that included eggplant, cauliflower, red pepper etc. and grape leaves (and yet, per the lady, what's inside the leaves was ground beef.) She carefully placed all of them in two separate containers for me to take home. I had no clue how much the per pound price for the prepared foods was but I really didn't care to be freak. And for the next 15-20 minute or so, I walked slowly to browse each aisle. The items they carry at this store were quite unique where some of the packages are/were written (I believe) in Russian language. Quite intriguing indeed. As much as I wanted to immerse myself in the foods that I have never had before, I exercised discipline by not buying all those "unknown" items. It was hard though! Like I said, it was my uncontrollable curiosity that drove me nuts while walking around! I ended up with only 4 items in the basket. When the lady upfront rang them up, I realized that the per pound price for the prepared foods was only $5.99 so between the two containers, it was only $10 with some change. Wow! This was not expected. I thought each one would be easily $10 so I was expecting to pay close to $20 for both. As soon as I got home, I tried all the prepared foods. And all of them are/were well-seasoned/prepared/cooked in a family style cooking. As I got to savor the "Tradishn" of the cuisines they boast about at this shop, my happy tummy was literally smiling with joy. This place didn't disappoint. This somewhat tiny in size but mighty in quality market quietly exists in a little space in the city of Aurora. And as the store's name says it all, it does carry the authenticity with modern twists. I quite fancy this place!”

“Sad this store location is soo small I would love to see this in something like 10 times the space to see what they could bring to the table! Over all I love this store I got often enough they most likely know me by now....”

“Very friendly and helpful; prices on many items are excellent. Focus is on helping individuals be more prepared personally for difficult circumstances similar to those we're experiencing now such as supply-chain disruptions, employment challenges or interruptions, etc.”

“Their prices are a little high, they are supposed to be fruit and vegetables ex-export, but their prices are a little high. It seems to me that the person setting the prices is not quoting correctly, but other than that, everything is fine, the service is fine.”

“Great source for fresh produce and middle eastern food
This is the store where you want most of "our" products, the prices are very fair, the employee's mistake is caution...goat ribs instead of cilantro..code 001 and goat 011...always check the bill..."our" products have been gone for a long time On the shelf.. cucumbers from Egypt instead, the attitude of the cashiers is no longer what it was...”
