Gastronom in Arvada

It's one of the larger European stores I've been to, but that doesn't mean much. The staff was friendly, and the prices are good with a nice selection of different foods. However, the place was dirty. There was stuff all over the floor. The glass on the coolers and deli was dirty. They did have Kinder Eggs which brought me back to when I was a kid in Germany. Staff doesn't seem to speak English either. I asked if they could place specialty orders from their supplier, I've been having a hankering for some Austrian soda. She didn't understand. I said my thanks and left. I'd go back around Christmas just to see, if they have anything else. It's an alright little European market but it could use a good cleaning.

Wonderful Russian store. They have a good selection of items and always pretty well stocked. I wish they carried more variety of pre-prepared Russian goods like salads and such, otherwise a great place.

I was very pleasantly surprised with this store. Usually Eastern European/Russian stores are pretty tiny but Gastronom has a wonderful space packed with all the delicious goodies! Their deli section does seem a bit smaller than I am used to seeing at other Russian stores but they do have a different selection of fish, sweets, and marinated goods that I haven't seen anywhere else. Everyone was very friendly and helpful as well! I wish the store was closer to me so I would visit it more often as it does have some items that you can't find at other Russian stores. I definitely recommend checking it out - if you are not sure what to get, just ask for help or go...
