Marczyk's in Denver

There is no more deserving foodie retailer to receive praise, admiration and awards than Marczyk Fine Foods.




Where else can you find duck fat ...

rosehip preserves ...



artisinal single crop Ligurian olive oil ...



a miniature version of the Savory Spice Shop ...



the famous single floral New Zealand honeys next to the infamous Marmite ...


escargot ...



local organic meat aging on-site ...



a stellar wine & spirits shop ...



replete with three selections of Hangar One Vodka ...



no, really ...



a wall of foodie casual wear ...



and a picture of your grandma partying ...


... nowhere but Marczyk's. I'm pretty familiar with the foodie haunts of San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and New York ... not an expert mind you, but nowhere have I found a corner store like this that just riles the foodie id so. Apart from Le Sanctuaire, you'd be hard pressed to find a more discernable foodie experience than a visit to Marczyks. This is the good life ... this is Marczyk's.
