Whole Foods Denver - Cherry Creek is Busy!
November 25th, 2009 Categories: Life In Denver
Shopping at Whole Foods in Cherry Creek can be an exercise in frustration. Trying to pick up a few last minute items there on Thanksgiving Eve is completely insane.
The store has lovely displays, great produce, hormone-free meats and amazing cheeses. It also has parking issues and high prices. Nonetheless, I find myself there at least twice a month picking up a few things that Safeway or King Soopers don’t carry.
I was there this evening. Next year, I need to plan ahead better. The time it took to get into and out of the parking lot was more time than it took to do the shopping.
I did manage to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers and picked up my favorite tuna salad with cranberries.
If you need a few quick items, you may prefer the Whole Foods on Colorado Boulevard or on Hampden Avenue - fewer parking issues. If you want to pick up some information on Denver Real Estate - read the latest article in the Denver Post. I was quoted about yesterday’s Case Shiller report and what the trends bode for our local real estate market.
Real estate sales in Denver are up from last month, prices are down just a little. The price reduction is most likely due the change in seasons from summer to fall. It’s also a reflection of what specific properties have sold.
Enjoy your holiday and stay away from the crowds on Friday!
In Short – Whole Foods is a vegetarian’s dream grocery store, with a focus on natural and organic goods and a gargantuan selection of fruits, vegetables and vegan products. But carnivores won’t feel neglected, as stores also boast a vast selection of top-quality meats, poultry and fish. Also expect fresh-baked goods, housewares, a floral department and a well-stocked vitamin and personal-product section. Deli offers hot and cold prepared foods and artisanal cheeses.
haha yeah vegemite is the best, when did you come to Australia, how do you like your vegemite, some people I have meet like it thinly spread, and others like it thick.The best way is the toast some bread drown it with butter and thinly spread vegemite on it, oh yes!
Vegemite isn’t something I’ve acquired a taste for. Not sure they even sell it here. I do love Nutella, though!
Thanks for this post I will be forwarding it to my sister.
A loud, busy, faced-paced place is Cherry Cricket. The food is predictably decent, priced cheap. The service is pleasant. The place could be cleaner for sure, but it is a bar! What do you expect?! It is a fun place for a quick (not health-conscious) bite, where the beer flows like the chatter at the bar.
Hi Crossbows! The Cricket has great turkey burgers too, and an expanded patio. Perfect this time of year.
