get your nuts on
Kaliko P.

I went and got these nuts as a request from someone else who liked the nuts, otherwise I would have never found this place and I normally eat nuts out of a tin from Costco anyhow. First time I went I couldn't find the nut house. Second time I went I found it by picking up a touristy map near the bathrooms. Pike Place Nuts is directly off the left of the main Pike Place Market entrance sign in building 1 as you are facing the sign. The nuts were $8 for a 1/2 lb so I got one lb. I didn't want to buy $32 worth of nuts and have them go stale so I only bought two 1/2 lb packs. The man selling the nuts was super cute, and unlike the other reviewers saying the service is bad, he was super polite and made me even feel all giggly and stupid silly. I think he hypnotized me.

The place - VN

Of course after you're done eating the freshest seafood, you'd want something to snack on while walking around, or in your hotel room, or your flight out, or on the ship for your upcoming cruise to Alaska. The latter was us. ATMOSPHERE: The stall is located in the section of the market on the bend in the road. You can smell the nuts in the air, but its not as enticing or powerful as if they were being roasted and made to order. They're pre-made and displayed in clear plastic bins. NUTS: There was a wide selection of varieties, but the mixed sweet nuts stood out. The mix consists of almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, and cashews. Its mildly sweet but all the nuts were stale, and some were difficult to bite through due to the heavily candied coating. OVERALL: The product looks, smells, and tastes okay, but the texture was a downer for me.

My glorious nut sack

When I got here today, and saw what they had to offer, one thing became clear: I just had to get my hands on a huge nut sack immediately. The employee thrust out the nut sack, and seeing it hang there before me was breathtaking. It weighed a whopping full pound. Then it was in my hand. The nut sack was suffused with oil, and radiated the heady aroma of nuts. This was one aromatic nut sack! As I made my way through the city, I could sense that people all around me were hungrily eyeing my nut sack. I could tell that many of them would be overjoyed to get their hands on my nut sack, eat my nuts and savor the salty goodness... As I sit writing this, I am gobbling nuts, and I know that my nut sack is going to provide me with lots of tasty protein over the next couple of days. And for that, I give this establishment FIVE STARS!

I ate them all!

I love this place. It's my treat before I wander about the market. Five bucks and I get a bag of delicious nuts. And he will mix up the flavors if you want. I usually get the caramel cashew and banana walnuts. Toffee peanuts, caramel cashews, banana walnuts, hot plain cashews, orange pecans... And while their staples like caramel cashews and plain cashews are always there, some of the others will rotate and offer other wonderful flavors. Sorry no pictures, these things don't last long. And as for gifts, giving anyone a bag of these will put a smile on their face.

Roasted cashews still warm!

This is the only place I've ever come across in America that sells genuine, Bavarian candied nuts. Understand, these are handmade so they aren't cheap ($10 1/2 pound). I've been by many times when I'm in the city and the younger employees are very nice and friendly. My favorite I've ever tried are the Carmel cashews and this is the only place I have seen that makes candies cashews. Cashews are so delicate that you get a lot of little pieces and broken cashews in 1/2 pound but I don't mind because they are so good! I hope they start selling online soon so my family in Germany and Austria can try them!

Lemon Pepitas

After sampling the majority of the nuts they have displayed, I couldn't make a decision. I decided to go with the sweet nut mix. I was happy with my choice and even found a pecan in the bag even though they weren't selling any pecans. Not sure how I feel about that yet, although it tasted great. Probably the best nut in my bag. The coated almonds were too hard to bite into and you probably have to be careful if you want to keep all of your teeth. The next day I came back to try the lemon pumpkin seeds only because the owner said that was her best seller. It was a good salty change. Although the nuts are good, $7 for a 1/2 pound bag is pricey. I may stick to my Costco raw almonds.

Yay for sampling, but yay for whatever bag of nuts I ended up getting. Nuts are great in general, and this places provides 'em.

Love these small spots in Seattle that are very surprising. It is a little busy and hectic here on…read morea Sunday during the farmers market, so you gotta be very patient. There isn't really a system for ordering or receiving your food/drinks. It's kinda like when you go to a family's house and they're busy making sure all the food and drinks have enough love, so you gotta wait for them to do their thang and just quietly enjoy the process. The owner is suuuper kind and greets you as you enter and you can tell he really cares about his customers. He will let you know if he's busy and around how long to wait. I just gotta hand it to the owner, it sounds like he has a lot of regulars who come in for dosa, lentils, and chai. It smelled good every time he made some dosa! Masala chai: got mine with oat milk (he has to brew a new batch if you want a different milk), he usually uses half and half I believe for his chai. Love the spices! I like my chai pretty spicy and this is really good. He sells packs of loose chai so you can brew at home also Note: their masala chai is made with black tea and their pink chai is made with green tea and has pistachio Will come back to try the food and pink chai when it's not so poppin!

So, for his memorial, my hubs and I went to order two fresh orchid leis for his mom and his widow. It was easy as pie. One of the friendly staff members showed us all the different leis they had in their refrigerator. We chose the two we wanted and gave them the date we would pick up (they recommended the day before the memorial). We paid at the time of ordering. The day we picked up, I just gave them my name and they brought the leis out in plastic takeout boxes for me. I had my receipt just in case, but I didn't need it. The leis were beautiful. It's a great little shop full of fun gifts, treats, and aloha shirts. If I ever need some more leis or Hawaii-themed gifts, I will definitely come back. Mahalo, Hawaii General Store!

Mahalo for a great experience!

I'm honestly disappointed to write this review…read more I've been shopping at Goodies for about six months now. They sell dukkah (along with other condiments and seasonings) that are hard for me to find, which saves me the time of making them myself. I've also been buying my lamb from them. On July 3, I purchased two packs of lamb chops. One pack was perfectly fine, but the other was clearly spoiled. I still cooked the good pack, but it wasn't enough for everyone to have. I've been cooking lamb for years--I know how it should smell and how it should look. This meat was off. I called the next day to let them know, and they told me they would replace it. I explained that I live over an hour away, so I wouldn't be able to come back until I was in the area again. They assured me they would still honor the exchange. When I came in today, I was met with so much rudeness that I was honestly shocked. I felt embarrassed by the way I was treated. I had really enjoyed supporting this small business up until this point. Because I was so shaken by the interaction, I didn't even realize until I got home that I had originally purchased a six-pack of lamb chops, but I was only given a four-pack in exchange. When I returned the spoiled meat, the woman behind the counter insisted she would "never sell meat like that." I tried to show her the timestamped photo I had taken of the meat when I purchased it, but she refused to even look at it. At one point she said she "didn't know what my deal was," and then suggested it was somehow my refrigerator's fault before asking, rather dismissively, "Well, what do you want?" I'm a very understanding person. When you're selling raw meat, sometimes things happen. Products can spoil. I wasn't looking for an argument--I simply expected for the issue to be handled professionally and with kindness. Instead, I was treated as though I was trying to cause a problem. I'm sure many people will continue to shop here without issue. However, left feeling like I wasn't afforded the same courtesy or respect that other customers might have received. Maybe I would have been treated differently had I looked different. I can't say that for certain, but I also can't think of another reason I was met with such hostility when I approached the situation politely and respectfully from the very beginning. No customer should leave feeling the way I did. The top pack of lamb pictured was perfect. The bottom pack smelled bad and was greenish in person. As you can see via time stamp - I purchased the lamb on the 3rd and began to cook it on the 4th of July.

This was the first spot I checked out on my recent visit to Seattle…read more I was already a fan of Beecher's, having gotten a frozen box of their "World's Best" Mac & Cheese from Costco and loving it. Not surprisingly, the Mac & Cheese straight from the source, served fresh and hot, was far superior to the frozen version. It was nothing fancy, but incredibly creamy, savory, and flavorful. While here, I also tried the Grilled Cheese sandwich, made with their Flagship and Just Jack cheeses. Put simply, it was gooey deliciousness. The bread, which was not buttered, had a nice crunch to it and allowed the cheeses to really stand out. The meal here was a perfect start to my culinary adventures at Pike Place Market.

Our last visit to Beecher's was in 2015, so I was curious to see what we'd think of it in 2026…read more The store is looking pretty hip these days, with a great display counter and plenty of cheeses to choose from. And considering the Pike Place location, I thought the takeaway menu was surprisingly reasonably priced. We got two large Mac & Cheeses. We'd also grabbed some takeaway from another Pike Place spot, and were glad we had--the "large" macs really aren't all that large. The mac and cheese was good, but honestly, if I went back, I think I'd skip it and grab a couple of their more interesting cheeses and some good bread instead. With that whole cheese counter sitting right there, that seems like the more exciting way to do Beecher's.
