I enjoy visiting the many clusters of Asian supermarkets and restaurants along Federal Boulevard here in Denver. But I’ve traveled Colorado Boulevard countless times and never knew this small market was here until I visited with a Bulgarian friend of mine.

East Europe Market, run by a Bulgarian family, carries specialty foods and brands imported from the Eastern Europe region including Bulgaria, Albania, Turkey, and Greece.  About the size Pappa’s (my local place) they carry a bit of everything from meats, crackers, beverages, and dairy products.

We visited Saturday night and bought some sausage and meats, some small wheels of cheese, and boxes of tasty Russian soup mix. The staff is friendly, and quick to help if you can’t read the packaging. If you want to transplant yourself to Sofia for your dinner shopping this is the place to be…

They’re located on the east side of Colorado at East Arkansas, conveniently located next to Hooters.
