Clarks Market
700 W Colorado Ave, Telluride, CO
Crema's Take
“Clarks Market is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot that punches above its weight with the largest coffee and specialty food selection in Telluride, backed by a genuinely warm staff that makes every visit feel personal. Beyond the fresh-roasted coffee, you'll find a full hot bar with reasonably priced lunch options, made-to-order pizza, local baked goods, and plant-based groceries—everything a mountain town needs without the chain-store feel. It's the kind of place where locals actually want to linger, whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in with a sandwich and a sense that you've found the real heart of the community.”

They have the largest selection in Telluride and their hot bar is super reasonably priced for a quick lunch, but the best part of shopping here is the staff. Everyone is friendly, and there’s a woman named Corianne who is always so sweet and helpful, she knows where everything is and is happy to help you find stuff, she makes me laugh and makes shopping here feel like you’re a neighborhood celebrity. Wouldn’t usually say this about a grocery store, but the vibes are excellent!
I stopped in during my roadtrip in the area. The deli sandwich’s were delicious and the staff very friendly. This place was pretty busy but I was in around lunch time so it made sense.
Well stocked conventional grocer with items supporting plant base cuisine. Cashier friendly and welcoming. Was able to grab a few products for on the go. Exiting can be challenging if taking a left. Construction nearby for now.
I love coming here. It's a quaint neighborhood market with most necessities available . They have fresh coffee, baked local goods, pizza made to order, a hot food bar and salad bar. I don't buy chicken often, yet their organic chicken breasts in the meat dept. taste amazing. The prices aren't all that much higher than other nicer grocery chain stores. Also if you're struggling with altitude adjustment, they have supplies to help.
Probably the best market in Telluride. It's one of only two. Very cosey, well stocked and plentiful! Prices may be a bit high, but for being in Telluride, what would you expect? Locally owned, beats any big block store, and can pretty much get anything that's not too exotic. Easy to walk to and lots of parking.
