Inspiration For This Shopping In Central Denver Shopping Guide


When I first came up with my idea for a series on shopping around the Denver area. I thought it would be short and sweet. A few posts with 2-3 shops and I'd be done.


Well, I was very wrong. This is my first of 6 posts regarding shopping in and around Denver. Originally, I was just going to share sustainable and refill shops. I've lived here for seven years, and there are so many stores I've never shopped at. I'm definitely not a shop-till-you-drop person; rather, I'm a shop-and-see-what-they-offer person.


In 2025, I decided to take days off work to explore the stores I've heard people talk about, but I've never visited. It was a fun adventure! My field trips took me as far north as Windsor and as far south as Littleton.


Read this post, and follow along for my future Central Denver area shopping posts!


Angie's Favorite Shops In Central Denver


  • Joy Fill – 4340 W. 35th Ave., Denver

    • Parking: Street parking (parallel parking), in a neighborhood area, I've not had an issue parking

    • What's Available: Sustainable goods, refills (shampoos, soaps, essential oils, laundry, and more), dried tea

    • Why I Like This Shop: This medium-sized refillery offers so many items. Whether I need a refill or another swedish sponge, they have me covered!


  • Nude Foods Market – 3538 W. 44th Ave., Denver

    • Parking: Very small lot with parking spaces (maybe 5 parking spots)

    • What's Available: Pretty much any kitchen food item, from produce to spices to snacks. A small sustainable product section as well as a few refillable items. The majority of items are sold in glass jars. Check out their site for all the details.

    • Why I Like This Shop: Tiny but mighty! A very small footprint compared to a typical grocery store. Takes a while to peruse the aisles to see everything they sell. Relatively easy to shop, and since everything is packaged in a glass jar with a simple label, it feels less intense.
