This place is a joke. The coffee is disgustingly bad, it taste water down the staff is not train correctly overall horrible experience recommend to go to Walmart and by your own to make. The grocery store people please be careful this scumbags like to sale damage things and then when you realize that things are damage or scratched the owner doesn't give refunds for substandard merchandise and if the employees refund you item he goes and takes it out of their paycheck directly. I couldn't believe it until all the employees told myself and my wife. We would not support garbage people or businesses so people beware of these scam artist at pier 33 grocery I wish I could give them a negative starts because I would have rated them minus 5 starts read more

I just paid $10 for two pieces of chicken (leg & thigh). The chicken was terrible and they may as well just put a gun in my face and straight up robbed me...the most ridiculously expensive place I've ever been in my 40+ years if traveling....I will NEVER patronize this place again, if you go to Pier 33, you're going to need to remortgage your house... read more

A Gulf Shores staple. Pier 33 has been serving this beach community for nearly 50 years. It's a quick walk from the beach and offers a plethora of grocery items, souvenirs, and bait/tackle. There's stuff everywhere! We were enjoying our final day on vacation and needed a final round of adult beverages. We popped in, found what we wanted-- in and out, no problem. Parking is a non issue, staff wasn't super friendly, and pricing was a bit steep but with very few walkable options-- it was as expected. Grab a bite or a drink at Pier 33! Open daily. read more

Coffee store upstairs is great! Girl needs help but coffee gets 5 stars. The store down stairs has Everything you will need at the beach read more

Convent store on steroids!!! You can get milk to Wisconsin cheese to fireball and Dubai chocolate all at once! One of the spots to open late and offers everything you need last minute. You can get late night munchies snacks like pizza as well. It was literally in and out. Different beers and wines inside as well. So it's like a one stop shop! read more

Super sweet staff!! This little market took care of everything I needed for breakfast and then some. It's a bit pricey, but sometimes you just have to pay for convenience. This was convenient! read more

Pier 33 - two people sitting at a picnic table - Grocery Near Me - Gulf Shores, Alabama

Absolutely the best coffee and homemade biscuits! Great staff, cool atmosphere and anything you need for the beach essentials.

This place is awesome! Has anything you might want and more. Fountain sodas, shoes, snacks, food, cleaning supplies, beach things, AND it's open late. Great business and friendly people. read more

Customer service was amazing and they even had all I needed in the store for my friends vacation needs.

We stayed right across the street so this being a grocery store / coffee shop was very convenient. However the service was terrible, they were rude, slow and forgot our order both times we went to the coffee shop. The grocery store cashier wasn't any better. The prices were about average for the area. The drinks being good is the only reason they got any stars at all. read more

Convenience at its best, within walking distance from many condos and apt complexes as well as Bahama Bob's and other restaurants. Service is nice, decent selection of local and popular goods, and there's a coffee joint upstairs! Great place for the basics we always forget. read more

They charged my son $79 for one case of Natural Light and one case of Miller Light. He didn't realize it until he walked out. We will never go back. read more

I recently wrote a review for a place just like this from the same trip to the beach. This type of store located close to the beach follow the same mode of operation. So I will steal from my last review to describe what I think about that: I think the Yelp rating system says it best... it is just A-OK. As a person who has been coming to the beach his entire life, I have experienced plenty of places just like this. With property values so high on the beach, the grocery stores are typically much further out. So when you forget something for you beach weekend stay, these places exist for sheer convenience. Everything is extremely overpriced and the selection is usually pretty limited. But in all fairness, they have to stock such a WIDE variety of options, it is hard to get anything too extensive. As for Pier 33, they had a more extensive selection than some other place. I even saw some local honey in here. But the fact stands... there is not a vast selection and you are paying for the convenience. Would I shop at Pier 33 again? Yes if needed. Would I shop here if it were back in Birmingham? Probably not. It served its purpose and always will. I don't love having to use this type of place. But I will continue to do as necessary. read more

Great place to grab some chips and condiments for the dogs, also noticed tons of souvenirs items and some fishing items. Great little stop in walking distance to our place. Nice cooler section and wine selection as well. read more

It's a great one stop shop for just about everything you need. It's amazing how they have fit so much in such a small space. Everyone is friendly and there's a coffee shop above the store. read more

Great little shop for picking up things you need or forgot. Right across from the beach in a convenient area. Has the essentials we needed (deodorant and toilet paper) as well as souvenirs, coffee, snacks. read more

This place is so over priced! Of course it's very convenient but with that comes the inflation in price to stick it to you! Also the prices inside are not the actual prices once they check you out. They like to make up their own prices. They will add two surcharges for their convenience. Save your money and go to Publix or Walmart. read more

A very conveniently located corner shop. It has every thing you would need except fresh produce. We didn't have to drive to the grocery store because of this. We enjoyed browsing through souvenirs. read more

This is a nice little local run tourist store. It's a little pricey but it is right across the street from the beach. You know the saying, "Location. Location. Location." They have pretty much anything you could possible want including friendly employees. read more

Very convenient. Had everything we were looking for with no crowds and no lines. We got groceries, kid got a minnow net, and we got some sunblock and jellyfish sting medicine. What else could a person need? Prices were a bit high for the convenience, I'm ok with that but it is the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. If I could give half stars, I would of gave more. read more

Every single employee is so rude. I've gone there 3 times since I've been on my vacation. I've tipped generously when I get coffee upstairs (not that that matters). Every "good morning" I've said has come with a disgruntled sound in return. I'm on vacation with multiple children and it is already stressful enough. I won't bother wasting my time and money on this place. read more

A true West Beach landmark. Pier 33 has just about everything that anyone might need on their beach trip. All at a family owned and operated little spot. read more

Nice store with just about everything a person on vacation would ever need . Glad it was so close to us to use

This place literally has everything.......except for liquor LOL, which you have to buy at the liquor store! This place is convenient and incredibly friendly read more

Great store that seemingly has everything. Souvenir store meets, general store, meets beer cooler, meets mini mart. Friendly folks and easy to get to from West Beach Blvd. Prices are a little higher but you pay for convenience. Much nicer than losing half a day from your life down the parkway back to larger stores. read more

Established in 1978, Pier 33 is Gulf Shores oldest grocery store. Pier 33 has everything you need. Groceries, bait, tackle, water toys, and souvenirs. It is in a convenient location, as it is right across the street from the public beach. Great for last minute needs or an afternoon at the beach! read more

The ladies that work here were so nice and gave us some great suggestions on where to eat and what to do. We picked up a few things we needed inside and they had what we were looking for. read more

Fun little store with a lot of variety! Groceries to household goods to beach toys. Very nice staff too!

Very convenient location and lots of things for sale. From cute souvenirs, food, alcohol, and personal hygiene items. A great one-stop shop for vacation needs! read more

Great little grocery store. Obviously more expensive than you regular large grocery store. Has a great variety and the people are always very nice. If you need some last minute additions to a beach trip it's a great place to stop. They have already inflated floats, ice, and other essentials! Great gift shop for last minute gifts too!! read more

This place was the best place by the beach to buy snacks and food. Prices are better then the others and has a good variety. If your at the beach and need to grab some quick food to cook. This is the place to stop. read more

Super nice lady named Deb and was within walking distance from our condo. Gave recommendation on where to eat while in town.

So tbh let's be fully real, no one does food correctly on vacation. Like never, it's either you buy like 50 packs of ramen or 1 pack of turkey and bread. There's no middle. But some of us want to be able to make our mistakes at any time of the day and in walking distance from the hotel and beach. For those very distinguished folk, Pier 33 kills it. Sure, there are markups, but the convenience deserves it. And the workers are as polite as pie, or some other polite thing. It's a great time there, but avoid the shot glasses. $5 for a shot glass? Hell no, that's the only reason there's a star off. But beyond that, try to find a better beachside base for the foods and the booze. I dare you. Good luck. read more

We loved this little shop while we were visiting Gulfshores last week. Very convenient and had everything you could need. Our son fell and skinned his knee pretty bad and they had all necessities needed to patch him up and get him back to playing. It is not a go and buy all the groceries but if you need a few items it is worth going in. read more

I went in to get a few things like bread lunch meat milk chips ect. After seeing the prices I walked out and went to a real grocery store. The prices here a literary double the normal price. $6 for a gallon of milk. $4 for bread. read more

Prices like a convenience store. Much less variety as well. Better to drive to Walmart market in Orange Beach.

Neat store that has everything you need! Very friendly and helpful staff to direct you to anything you are looking for. Prices seemed very reasonable for the convenience of being right there on the beach. Will definitely be back to Pier 33! read more

Useful and fun store with everything you forgot to bring with you for your condo stay at the beach. Friendly staff!
