The Market — Restaurant in Aurora

Price/Quality: Best coffee shop I've ever been to! First off (let's get money talk out of the way), prices are amazing. I paid $7 total for a medium "The General" latte and a medium black drip coffee. I didn't realize their card reader doesn't allow for a tip, so I'll be more prepared to tip in cash next time! The taste was fabulous 👌🏻 10/10 (coming from someone who is picky about their lattes and used to be a barista herself).

The Experience: I walked in and was greeted quickly by the nice man working there. He took my order and made my two drinks in less than 3 minutes, just enough time to have pleasant small talk. I was informed that the owner is not only a veteran, but a pastor, and also owner of Legacy Meats (if I remember correctly). Plus, double plus, and triple plus! How cool! He passed my drink over and thanked me for visiting the place, also welcoming me to my new favorite coffee shop. I imagine this kind man is very personable and we will spark up conversation like this often. My favorite part of being a barista was seeing my regulars and remembering their orders/asking them about their life when they stop by. Leadership, coffee style. I can see that happening here, and it warms my heart.

The Atmosphere: The Market is very quiet, in a good way. Just the right amount of decorations, mostly sticking with the military theme, but not being too overbearing for those who aren't interested in that. The Market also has their local meat along the walls displayed very nicely, and in a positively subtle way, it adds to the "vibe" of the place. There are a few seating options, which I can't accurately speak to, because I was too excited to try my coffee than to explore more, but I can see this being a great hangout spot for weekly rounds of cards or Bible studies.

Overall Recommendation: I will 1000% be back, probably weekly. Okay, maybe a few times a week (guilty)... If you want to support local + veteran owned establishments, this...

Update 10/2/24: this place is still awesome! The staff is really friendly and helpful. Their coffee is so delicious. I only buy meat from here I will not buy meat from the traditional grocery stores. We have tried a variety of their meat. With all of the meat we have bought there, we have not been disappointed

Love this place! I've bought steaks, brats, a roast, and some chicken... All really good! Their beverages are really good. The scones are amazing too! Very reasonably priced. Very friendly and laid back. I think I've found my new...

This is the only place I buy meat now! The best beef and lamb you’ll find anywhere. If you don’t like lamb because of its wild or “gamey” flavor, you’ll love this lamb. It’s mild tasting and melt in your mouth tender. I highly recommend this market. Everyone there is very focused on great customer service and the atmosphere is...
