If you are tired of shopping at one of the big chain grocery stores and are looking for something…read moreunique 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!

Place is neat, well stocked One thing I'd recommend: DO NOT GO ON WEEKENDS, if you can avoid. This place is packed. No way to leisurely browse on a weekend.

My friend did say this is one was smaller than others she'd been too. She also said the others usually have a food court where you can get different foods. They did have some food situation going on in one of the corners but did not go out of my way to look.

I walked into GW Supermarket looking for one thing -- mango puree -- and walked out having found…read moreeverything except that. That's the honest headline of this place: it's enormous, and it's stocked with sections for African, Indian, Jamaican, Japanese, Korean, and half a dozen other countries' pantries, and somehow the one basic thing I came in for wasn't on a shelf anywhere. I asked two different staff members if I was missing it, and both actually walked the aisle with me to check rather than just pointing and shrugging. No luck that day, but the effort mattered. Most of the packaging in here isn't in English, and if you're the type who needs to read every label before buying, budget extra time. But that's part of what makes it worth the trip -- this isn't a store dumbing itself down for anyone, it's a store built for the communities it actually serves, and the labels reflect that. If you get stuck, staff will come find the item with you instead of just gesturing toward an aisle number. Heads up walking past the seafood section: there's a real smell there, but it's the honest smell of fresh fish, not anything spoiled or off. If you've spent time in any proper seafood market, you'll recognize it immediately and it shouldn't put you off -- it's not a red flag, just a strong one. Prices are genuinely good for the volume and range of product you're getting, and the sheer scale of the place means you could shop here weekly and still find something new every time. It's a little chaotic in the best way -- more discovery than errand. Who it's for: anyone cooking outside the standard American grocery aisle, anyone who wants ingredients for a specific regional dish and is tired of substituting, and anyone who just likes wandering a store that clearly wasn't designed by committee. Go in with time to browse, not a tight list -- and maybe don't count on the mango puree. 4.5 stars, rounding to 4 -- knocked half a point for the miss on a pantry staple in a store this size, not for anything the staff did.

Thank goodness they have something set up with regard to parking in the lot without hitting your pocketbook. You have to go around the block to enter, but it is a great option. 2 hours of parking is covered with a min $10 purchase. Just make sure you have your license plate info. Parking is tracked by that. No parking tickets to grab on the way in or out. Checkout folks were there and ready. Seafood guy was helpful. But I missed seeing staff members throughout the store to help with product locations and feedback. At this point I know which products we like, but am always curious about new ones. I still love Kream Kimchi that they have there. When they were first adding it to their product like, I met a "live person" who was there providing samples. That was enough to hook me in. Excellent brown rice, Kream kimchi, furikaki, red bean mochi, fresh fish, Portuguese sausage (frozen), lau lau (frozen), guava and passion fruit jelly, organic seaweed, and so much more! Also love their non-food items. One of the best places to pick up ramen bowls, tea cups, nice chopsticks, etc. With cashiers being all new this past visit, and missing folks within the store, I also realized it was about community too and not just buying food/products! It also is a bit of a drive there for me, but their consistent high quality products they carry is really appreciated. It just hits the pocket book a bit more and visits are not as frequent unfortunately.

I do have to remember next time to bring my own reusable bag. They have bags but as most places in Colorado now they will charge which is understandable. It was a nice reusable bag with handles. I bought tea, shortbread cashew cookies, chocolate puff pastry rolls, Indian style sesame brittle, two different kinds of mango pickles in jars, tandoori paste for chicken, green tea, quick chai cardamom flavored mix, jackfruit chips snd sweet banana chips.
