Sawa Meat & Sausages

This is a decent sized Polish market. If you are looking for meats then this place will definitely cover that need. However, if you’re looking for cheese or baked goods then it becomes very limited. They have some other types of Polish products but not a whole lot. I thought the quality of their meat was good and the staff was very friendly and efficient.

Went in because I had heard good things, and they didn’t disappoint. I bought one of each type of kielbasa, plus a blood sausage; personally recommend their standard/​original kielbasa, and the blood sausage if that’s your thing. Well priced based on how much you get.
They also have a nice little selection of dry goods and jarred foods like most ethnic shops around here, as well as deli meats, cheese, and smoked fish. Plan on trying more from the cold case next time.
The frozen pierogies were also a nice investment, since they’re locally made and better than anything you can get normally (short of making yourself). I plan on returning when my stash of meat and dumplings run out.

This is a really small store about five minutes from our house. I’ve pretty much stuck to only getting kielbasa’s. I haven’t always been a huge fan of sausages but these are seriously good. For starters they are HUGE, enormous huge. Won’t even fit in the largest pan we own without cutting in half.
The sausages have a perfectly crisp exterior if you cook them slow and over low heat. The flavor is outstanding.

Sometime the best stuff come from those un-​noticeable street mall shops, Sawa Meat & Sausages is one of those great street mall find. It has great cured and smoked meat collections, from salamis to headcheese, from blood sausage to cold smoked pork-​loin (moist and delicious).
The best part, it is in my hood: P

I don’t understand all the great ratings, perhaps I came on a bad day. I have been here once and will not return.
This Polish market had a small selection, the smoked sausage was frozen and when I asked the lady behind the counter how long it had been frozen she said she didn’t know and then said well it’s not like I sell old stuff.
In addition, when I told her I was glad to find a place like this as I grew up in Chicago and bought sausage there she told me I don’t care go back to Chicago. Not sure if she really understood what I was trying to say, but bottom line — she was terribly rude and will never get my business again. There are plenty of other places that I can try and make my Polish item purchases from.

If you are used to the sugarless deli meats this is the place. Their sausages, salamis and hams are smoked, very garlicky and not the least less pricy than what you usually buy from the big sharks supermarkets.
For the connoisseurs a must have is the headcheese !!!

nice selection of fresh euro-​meat products

I returned to this store this afternoon with my partner and two kids and we bought more sausage, cheese, bread (last loaf!), bacon and some treats. We had the same lady that waited on me earlier this week and she was very friendly and talked with us.
The only reason I took a star away: My partner noticed (she was a deli manager at a big grocery store in the area for several years) that the employee cut the sausage, cheese and RAW bacon on the same cutter, without cleaning it (really, they’re supposed to have separate slicers for raw and ready to eat foods). She also kept the gloves on that she used to cut the bacon… when she rung us up and bagged our purchases.
This concerns me because it’s cross-​contamination and is a BIG health code violation in food handling. I want to return because I totally dig the sausage, but the cross contamination thing is scary, especially since my kids eat the stuff I buy!
Also, the bread and cheese are way less expensive at European Delicious and Ukraine Market. Big sad for us, but cross contamination pretty much kills it for us!

You can’t complain about this deli’s sausages. Sure, they are about double the price per pound from what you’ll find in Chicago, but getting good Polish sausage in Colorado is next to impossible if you don’t have this place available. I was impressed with their smoked Polish, it reminded me of the stuff I get in Chicago at Bobak’s. Very nice smoky flavor, meaty – not fatty, with a good casing. They also have a small, but decent selection of other Polish goods like chocolates, sauerkraut and beets.
When in Colorado, this is about the only place you can go to get truly great Polish sausage. Just wish they were a bit friendlier inside!

Great selection of Polish Kabonosy and Keilbasa as well as Polish chocolate bars. My wife is Polish and this is one of the few places we can get decent bread and deli items and spreads. I have been to both locations and they both need to be updated and spruced up.

The closest I get to being Polish is my husband’s Ukrainian heritage and being fond of Gogol Bordello, but I love this market and shop there often. He absolutely loves their garlic sausage — to him no camping trip would be complete without it. I prefer the hunter sausage — it’s drier than the garlic and perfect for travel. Gypsy ham is great as well and another item that works well on a camping trip (hmmm…perhaps there is a new list brewing here…).
They also have a wide selection of other sausages, cheeses, uncured bacon, dried/​smoked fish, etc in their deli. Dry goods, toiletries from the old country, delicious kraut and great frozen pierogi are also available.
I have been to both this location and the one on Colorado and the service is always friendly and very helpful.
On the way to the mountains, take a short detour off of I70 and grab some sausage, kraut and bread from the Italian place next door and you have a great meal for a campfire that beats hot dogs any day!

Excellent sausages and cheese at great prices. The hunters sausage and krakowska are phenomenal. Try the Polish cheeses also. They’re not as good as the best Swiss and French cheeses, but at less than half the price, that’s OK – they’re still better than almost anything at the standard grocery store.
Their frozen pierogies are pretty good and light years beyond the Mrs. T’s cardboard and sawdust versions.

Very small with not a big selection. I only stop in once in a while because almost everytime I used to go, they would STiLL be out-​of-​stock of something I was looking for. What they do have is okay, like the instant polish and some German Soup mixes, cookies and some candy. I didn’t care for the measts, so I cannot say how they are.

Call Me ignorant but when I think sausage, Poland doesn’t come to mind. I can hear it now «what about Kielbasa!» yeah well we’re off the boat Sicilians we don’t eat Kielbasa. But I digress, On a cookie and pastry run to Dolce Sicilia (Denver’s Best Italian Bakery) right next door, Sawa Caught my cousin’s eye. He being a little more worldly than I drug me over. I honestly can say I have never eaten much polish food so I didn’t know what to expect from the strange little market next to the local casket store. I must say I was pleasantly surprised, they have a large selection of dry goods and home-​made sausages. The beautiful eastern-​European girl behind the counter helped us pick out a few different sausages to try with the perogies and sauerkraut we bought. One of my Favorites was the «Hunter’s Sausage» shaped like a slim jim she told us it was made with elk. There are two things you never want to see made, sausage and legislation so I left it at that. It tasted delicous and definitely home-​made. the pre-​packaged perogies were also delicious, unfortunately the kraut never made it past falling on the driveway. If you are interested in a traditional variety of exotically named sausages from Poland, Germany and elsewhere in Europe give them a try I believe they have been open for 8 years now so they are well established.
