Congress Park Market 2620 East 12th Avenue, Denver, CO 80206

"Awesome addition to the neighborhood. Great local selection. Makes it easy to get whole bean coffee from our favorites without having to trek."

"This is a replacement for the long-time 12th Avenue Market & Deli. Owners Shaun and Stephanie Johnson are retiring after 18 years of ownership of the 40+ year old business. Fortunately (now this is complicated), John Moutzouris, who bought Spinelli's Market (Park Hill) from owners Jerry and Mary Ellen Spinelli in 2014, made local chef and sandwich guru, Jake Riederer, and his wife, Cecelia Jones, his partners in Spinelli's. The group then made a deal with the Johnsons to take over their space which reopened December 5, 2023 as the Congress Park Market. Whew! The space is undergoing a massive refurbishment as I write, but the work should be finished shortly. The plan is to maintain the traditions of the 12th Avenue Market, including the contract Post Office counter, with some enhancements. The Post Office is moving to the front of the store and a deli is going into the space in the rear. There will be a full deli department plus fresh produce. Spinelli's has long been noted for their fantastic fresh sandwiches. Five of the most popular will be available here plus five new creations. A wine and beer department is also promised. The 12th Avenue Market was getting a little tired, along with its owners. The space was originally a Piggly Wiggly (a long-defunct supermarket chain) and I'm glad to see it enjoying yet another life as a vibrant neighborhood market. The new owners hope to develop other neighborhood markets like this one around Denver."

"The staff are friendly, prices reasonable. The smell inside made my mouth water, with fresh cooked food wafting throughout. Definitely a place to stop by if you are in the neighborhood."

"So glad y'all are open! I work nearby and it's great to have a place where I can stop and grab lunch (love the Japanese egg salad sandwich!) or a snack and even pick up an item or two to bring home so I need not make a stop at a huge grocery store. The Market has a great vibe and your staff is super nice and helpful! (Yes, some items are pricy but it is quality stuff and I understand the concept of a small neighborhood place.)"

"Market was gorgeous! Loved the Turkey, Cranberry, Gouda sandwich! Excited to see the selection of products. Major addition to the Congress Park neighborhood."
