This place is great for sandwiches but You should come to see the Pirate ‍ O's store. If you ever want to throw a charcuterie party, this is your place! I literally could've spent thousands of dollars here and might in the future! Lots of yummy items to try, white elephant gift options and candy from all over the world. read more

Wow. This place is pretty huge on the inside and it is chock full of stuff! Yeah, they have small grocery carts because it is difficult too pass up any of their items. International. Iconic. Novelty. Chocolate, snacks, candies, cheeses, meats, drinks, pastas, etc. etc. etc. etc. You just have to come and take a look for yourself. You may want to keep your credit cards and cash at home so you will not blow it all in one visit, there's so much that will tempt you to buy. Employees are very proud of their store and they are very helpful. The prices were surprisingly very reasonable and from what I could tell, not any more than what you would find in other stores. I thought that they would have jacked up the prices, particularly on the international items, but everything is priced reasonably. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

I'm in love with this place. All the foreign treats: chocolate, chips, cookies and did I mention snacks?! If I can, I would love to try all of them. Before your basket is full, you have to stop by the deli counter and order yourself a sandwich. I had #11, the bread was hot pressed croissant panini, but it's savory and a hint of sweet. I can't wait to try the others. Mine comes with fresh mozzarella, cooked spinach, pesto sauce and more... you'll have to try it. read more

Pirate O's - #11 the Honey Roquette - Specialty Food Near Me - Draper, Utah

Such a unique place to go. We tried lots of different snacks from different countries so that was fun. I was hoping for more snacks made directly from these different countries but that wasn't the case. But still fun nonetheless. read more

GETTING HERE: Pirate O's Gourmet Market is located in Draper, Utah at 11901 S. 700 East. REVIEW: You haven't done Utah right until you've come to Pirate O's! What an amazing place to spend too many hours and too much money. :) I am still amazed that I got out of there for under $100! #Winning It's hard to explain what Pirate O's actually is, and if my Utah friends had tried to explain it to me beforehand, I probably would have passed on the visit. But, I am super glad I agreed to go! If nothing else for the Bear Lake Raspberry Taffy from Taffy Town experience. Buy it in bulk is my best recommendation and best review I could provide! There's a little bit of everything here. Literally. Service was friendly and kind. I would probably still be there exploring the nooks and crannies if I could. It's now a *must visit on my next trips to Utah. Thanks for the neat experience! read more

I love Pirate O's so much, it feels like a place tailor-made for me. The coolest thing is that it's just sitting smack dab in the middle of an unassuming suburban neighborhood. Blink and you'll miss it. This store has all sorts of cool stuff! Grab a basket when you get inside, you're gonna need it. Here are some of the neat-o finds I've purchased over the years: original strawberry BB Bats taffy, super spicy pineapple hot sauce, Italian olive oil, chopsticks shaped like a T-Rex, a Sylvia Plath stuffed doll, vomit-flavored jellybeans, imported gingerbread from Germany, local creamery cheese curds, a miniature Christmas train set, atheist-themed mints, a butter sculpture shaped like a rabbit, a coffee mug that changes color, a pirate hat, a kitty cat flour sack towel, a dress-up Jesus magnet, sugar free vanilla soda, lemon flavored lip balm, and so much more! The real reason to come here is if you love candy. Pirate O's has an amazing selection! They import candies and other goods from all over the world, and you will likely find what you want here. I can't even list all the stuff they carry: toys, games, trinkets, pasta, sauces, home goods...the list goes on and on. I could easily spend hours just browsing here. The shelves are packed full with all sorts of good stuff. Do take note of the expiration date before you buy. With such a well-stocked store, employees can sometimes miss things and you'll buy an out-of-date item. Another pet peeve of mine is that while they carry an impressive selection of craft sodas, there are only a handful of sugar free or diet flavors. It goes without saying that Pirate O's is one of the best places in the world for gift shopping. They have gag gifts, useful gifts, and gifts that will suit any taste and budget. If you can't find something here that a person will love, then there is no pleasing that person! One of life's simple pleasures to me is grabbing an artisan soda off the shelves, popping it open, and sitting outside on the store's front porch on a lovely Utah summer afternoon. You can also grab snacks at the deli or even candies, cheese, and more to enjoy on property. Their parking lot is all dirt and the store ain't fancy, but it's a Utah icon. This is a must-stop if you're in the area. read more

If you love discovering unique foods, snacks, or specialty ingredients, Pirate O's Gourmet Market is a MUST-visit in Draper. This place is an absolute treasure chest -- every aisle is packed with global treats, imported chocolates, artisan cheeses, specialty sodas, unique pastas, hot sauces, cookies, and nostalgic candies you can't find anywhere else in Utah. It's the kind of store where you walk in planning to grab one thing... and suddenly your cart is full because everything looks too good to leave behind. The selection is unreal. They carry items from all over the world, and everything feels curated with care -- from European chocolates and Japanese snacks to rare sauces and gourmet pantry staples. Their deli is fantastic too, and the staff is friendly, helpful, and always happy to recommend new favorites. Visiting in December makes it even better. The holiday treats here are unmatched -- limited-edition candies, Christmas chocolates, peppermint goodies, advent calendars, and festive imports that sell out fast. The store feels cozy, lively, and full of holiday spirit. Pirate O's is one of the most charming and unique markets in the Salt Lake Valley. Whether you're a foodie or just love exploring, this spot is absolutely worth the trip. Check out our video https://linktr.ee/reessroots read more

Pirate House is just one of those strange local stores. I've lived here all my life and never been. I can't say I was anything more than curious. Although there were some good Italian food choices everything seems somewhat. Random. Service was great. Ambience was definitely a local feel, mom and Pop shop read more

What a neat place! Looking for candy, special ingredient, specialty snack? Come here I can see myself coming to buy chocolate or a special snack or gift for someone. Some items are more expensive than regular store. I enjoyed coming here. Id like to try their sandwiches next time. read more

Other than their all-rock parking lot which has big dips & pools of ice/water/mud sometimes - this is one of my fav Utah secrets! The cheese/drink cooler room is the best. The European candies & food can't be topped. Their crisps selection is so yummy. The prices are pretty high so pave your parking lot please! read more

This place is freaking amazing! It looks unassuming and small from the outside, but every time you turn a corner there is another room CHOCK full of ingredients and packaged goods from another country. I had a blast going through it today and picking up some fun items. They have items on sale usually under a dollar. They call these plunder alerts. Most are in the candy aisles (YES! There are aisles and aisles of candy from other countries!). I bought most of these plunder alerts just so I could try something fun. I also bought spices, coffee syrup, and horse radish cheese! Oh my gosh! I've lived in Utah for 10 years and I have sorely missed horse radish cheese! I used to buy it periodically in Washington state when I lived there and I was so excited when I saw it I had to stop myself from buying it all! (And yum, I've already had some of it!) And, I found Coffee Crisp. Which is a candy from Canada. I used to buy that all the time when I traveled in Canada all the time for work in the 90s. So fun to pick up items of nostalgia and new things to try! It is pricey, but you have to figure most of this stuff comes from other countries. If you haven't been here, be prepared to spend a while just looking at all of the amazing types of food! (And yes, I bought a lot of junk food, but there is lots more stuff there!) read more

Pirate O's - Fun candy from other countries, spices, horse radish cheese, cookies and coffee syrup! - Specialty Food Near Me - Draper, Utah

This store is fun! I like that they carry Abigail's Oven sourdough here. There is a large assortment of sweets and imported treats here, but they also have some common domestic items. The reason I knocked off a star is that the items that are not imported and I can find in a harmons are overpriced/marked up. I had minimal interaction with the employees here, but they seem generally nice but not quite as keen as talking to customers as compared to other specialty stores. I visited the store in December, and it felt very Christmassy and in a holiday mood, which was nice. They carried quite a bit of holiday-themed product for the season. There were many other customers in the store, and the aisles are rather close together so it was often a tight squeeze to get past people or try to get what I wanted. Overall, I would come back, even if only for Abigail's Oven sourdough bread. read more

4 star since it was so busy and could really look around like we wanted to. I will come back during off hours and really look. First thing I noticed were the workers here hustle and bustle. They were busy! Walking up and down isles, stocking and restocking. Sometimes could be a little much especially when the place is busy. They had tons of stuff including German candy I haven't had in years. They also have the Cat clocks in different colors which are pretty cool. The place is smaller on the inside and a bit cramped, but again, going to try and come during off hours so I can take my time and look around. read more

Loved the old Isetta out front! One of my friends that I grew up with had one in their barn that we loved to see when we would go over to play. Definitely brought up some fond memories before walking in to the specialty store that is Pirate O's. Pirate O's has some vintage and unique candies, chocolates, condiments, cheeses, and more! The store can be overwhelming with the amount of people and products inside, but it is definitely a fun place to look around and find old favorites and discover new treats and tastes. Great place at the holidays or any time of year to make fun gift baskets or find special things you aren't able to find at many other stores in the area. There is a huge parking lot on three sides of the building, but even when the lot is partly full, the store can seem busy and crowded inside. read more

I have yet to enjoy a sandwich here, but I will say this. If you are looking for that one ingredient you can't find. They have it. It you miss a certain candy from another part of the world, they have it. I, in particular, enjoy all the Haribo options. I also love all the imported cheese. I have yet to be disappointed. read more

I've had a really good experience here, all the good food, and wonderful stuff they have I would recommend

Great choices but a little overpriced . I wish they had chinotto ( Italian drink) or some biscotti del mulino bianco cookies

Giant sandwiches! This is the perfect meal for the working man. We love it. Do a bit of cheese gathering & enjoy a big bite. read more

Hidden Gem Alert! I was just driving to nowhere and look what I found nestled in this residential community Wow! This is truly a specialty eclectic gourmet food store that has food, beverages, unique salsas, candies, edible crickets and worms, amazing sandwiches and I got a large iced latte with 4 shots! I am gettin' stuff done today for sure. They also have smaties and a variety of other European snack candies. People are super nice both customers and staff. This is a go to destination for all you foodies. Outdoor seating on the porch with gorgeous views of the Wastach Range. Lots of parking available read more

The best hidden gem in the valley! You never know what wonders you are going to find when you walk into Pirate O's but it's always worthy the stop! If you're looking for international, imported, unique, local, or delicious this is your stop! From their wall of hot sauce to their cheese and beverage cave everything is a hit and service is ALWAYS friendly. read more

This was a cool market. Everting you thought about brands like Cadbury and Milkas is nothing. They have 1000s of items you probably never heard of or thought they weren't around. We walked in to browse and ended up buying almost a hundred dollars worth. From Gourmet Cheeses and Meats to Chocolates and Hot Sauces you can find it here. Finally got a store nearby that has my favorite hot sauce Ring of Fire! Friendly store owned service and smiles. Definitely gonna be back. read more

What a great find! Truly one of the most comprehensive English products found outside the UK ... all the Christmas treats from home. Great staff, friendly atmosphere and well organized for a smallish store with so many products. Wish I could find a place like it in Chicago! read more

Amazing place! Brother brought me here while I was visiting from out of town. So many cool and not so common things for sale here. They had Bazooka gum which I hadn't seen since I was a kid! They also have an awesome selection of craft sodas. Definitely a great place to find unique foods, candies, sodas and other things. Amongst the items I bought was a cane sugar Dr. Pepper (glass bottle) which I have never before encountered. If you are in the area, you should check it out! read more

A prolific taste of global culture in a single food store and cafe, with an exhaustive array of items you both want desperately and never knew you wanted. A veritable gem in the boring, cookie-cutter foodscape that Is conglomerate ubiquity. The customer service is very hood. Need something? Just ask. I buy the Voss water bottles (glass) and use them indefinitely to chill water in my fridge after I drink the original. My last time there, I wanted the larger 27 oz bottles but they weren't on the shelf. So I asked the owner, who spins around, grabs the wall phone, and asks his buyer to order some in. Damn, I've never had service like that! The walk-in cooler room has cheeses from around the world and a bizarre collection of unique sodas and drinks. Check. Incredible spice and sauce aisle? Check. An obnoxiously impressive wall of hot sauces yo probably hand never heard of? Check. This place simply rules. TIP: the cafe has arguably some of the best paninis in the SL valley. They use the high-quality products they sell on the shelves to make them, so they don't downgrade your sandwiches. Smoothies kick butt too. But get there early as they aren't open for dinner hours. read more

This is a hidden gem in Draper. Highly recommend a visit if you've never been. It's a one of a kind international grocery and specialty food store with lots of fun Knick knacks, toys and novelty items. They have a huge selection of European goods, candies and treats... even down to cans of Heinz beans from the UK and crumpets. So many hot sauces! And a full lane of items for dog lovers like socks and kitchen towels. They also have an amazing deli. I ordered the Turkey avocado sandwich on grilled rye bread and frozen strawberry lemonade and both were delicious! read more

This place is awesome!! So many novel items, I drive down from Layton just to shop here! The deli is also delicious

After driving by for years I stopped mainly to get the turkey shaped butter for our thanksgiving table and secondly to explore. The minute I walked in the door I was greeted by several employees. I immediately began exploring one of the many candy isles. They have so many options of unique candy including many I'm not familiar with and some forgotten from my childhood days. Being my 1st visit, I literally spent over an hour in this unique little store - walking each and every isle to take in everything. I found my turkey butter as well as some fun candy and goodies that I plan to use for stocking stuffers. I look forward to returning again for another exploration of their unique offerings. read more

Came down to get some things for a charcuterie board. Ordered lunch while I was there (the place smelled so wonderful). Got the #14 Marinara Sub on a fresh soft Vosen Italian roll. The meatballs are amazing and thsauce has just a natural tomato sweetness and just the right amount of heat to peak through but not over power. Delicious...just absolutely delicious. read more

Need an exotic chocolate or novelty candy from a far flung nation? Looking for a whole room full of pasta? Want a walk-in fridge with various meats, cheeses, and every kind of soda available? Have a hard-to-find ingredient on your shopping list? Ahoy, matey--you may just need a trip to Pirate O's. But what is it really; is it a grocery store? Or a chocolate shop? Or an international market? Yes. I mean, no to any one of those things individually, but yes a little to all of them a little bit. I came in not looking for anything at all and I think that's why it was entertaining--no agenda, just a perusal. We ended up getting a few stocking stuffer type sweets, and I grabbed a Grape Nehi for someone who's a big fan of Radar O'Reilly (if you know, you know). A total delight and a good way to spend some time shopping for things you never knew you didn't need. read more

Well I would love to give this cool store 5 stars, but I can't based on the size of the place and for the atrocious smell when you walk in that is so bad you can't get used to it. The space is way too small for the amount of people. You can barely look at things due to feeling rushed and from people cutting in front of you, but the SMELL...ugh...it will be why I don't return. I saw people holding their noses so I know it isn't just me and my husband. It put me off buying things as I didn't know what the stench was, it just tainted the place for me. I'm surprised (shocked actually) other people haven't a review about the smell. The 2 stars is for variety. It's also $$$$$$. read more

I would rate more than 5 Stars if I could... They have a little bit of everything here. Such a great selection of treats, drinks, gift and more. There are so many items that you will only find at Pirate O's. The atmosphere is relaxing and my favorite place to browse in Draper. The service is great. The workers are always so helpful. Love going here! read more

Lots of great European items. They have everything there that I need to cook my German meals. Cute place. Sandwiches are very good too. We were craving a sandwich on a Sunday and we found out they don't make sandwiches on that day and they don't make sandwiches after 3 pm. Nice place to sit on the porch to eat sandwiches read more

Fun place to try out imported candies and snacks that aren't always available at other stores. They have a deli as well which is good.

Rad small business that's locally owned and had a super unique and eclectic variety of goodies. There are a decent amount of cute home items you can get for decor as well as animal style some kind of farmhouse chic type vibes going on. Really cute and has some super nostalgic food items. I've gotten rum cake that's from Jamaica and I haven't seen it anywhere else since I was a little girl. I remember it because my dad had employees that would always give it around the holidays every year and it was the highlight of my Christmas! read more

I have always had an affinity for the wild, crazy and unique! Well, I found it all, in my new FAVORITE store and it's called Pirate O's ( @pirateosgourmet ), in Draper, UT! It's a gourmet grocery store and deli. If Cost Plus World Market and Archie McPhee's stores got married, their baby would be Pirate O's! Packed with unique items, like hot sauces, marzipan, licorice, pastas and every baking item one can need, it's every baker's dream store! They also have a deli and espresso area too! Named after the owner Orian, who started it, in 1997, he wanted to "bring great food, to the Salt Lake Valley area!" And, boy...did he!!! When you a enter the gravel parking lot, it's very unassuming, but when you walk in, it's almost like walking into a European grocery store, full of vibrant items and a super friendly staff! Everything is reasonably priced too! They have their own brand name unique items, like a Six Cannon Salsa, but also proudly carry lovely European delights, like all the proper Easter goodies, from Cadbury, Smarties (the chocolate, not chalk candy) and Kinder! It was like getting transported back to Italy! I love it there so much already! Can't wait to load up for the kids' Easter baskets there! Cheers! xx read more

I could write several tomes, full of odes to Pirate O's. The exterior is horrendous and not at all indicative of the treasures waiting inside. If you have ever thought to yourself "wow, I really miss that one thing I tried in that one place that's o it carried there" whether that place is Virginia, Canada or France, it is also carried at Pirate O's. If you're ever in the mood to find something wacky and new, this is the place. When I am feeling down, I literally just go to the very large soda and cheese room and just pick something out there. They have an incredible selection of everything you dream of and also did not know existed. Do not go here to get apples, go here to get inspired. I really love this place read more

Crazy variety of products from all over the world. Very sweet staff, that answered all the questions I had and more. Awesome vibes. We will definitely be back! read more

Oh how I love this place. A massive selection of all things foreign fare from a variety of countries including where I grew up. It was very nostalgic for me to see candy and various foods that I grew up eating, some I've not seen it years! Keep in mind, this place is PRICY! Even things you can get at Walmart, Smiths and other grocery stores is sold here at 3x the price. I did splurge and dropped about $150 on candy, sauces and a variety of things to try :) but sadly the sandwich deli was closed for the day (on a Saturday, which I thought was odd) but this should be a go-to spot for all things foreign: Meats, cheeses, sodas, candy, pastas, cookies etc. They have it all and it's well worth the visit and hopefully for you, worth the crazy cost! read more

Also I'm excited to try the German sausage and liverwurst that we purchased, not to mention the British bangers and pies ! My daughter loved the vast selection of British and Germany candy and cookies read more

How do I describe Pirate O's...... unique, unusual and absolutely delightful! This fun store has an assortment of candies-and not the boring stuff you'd see at any other store. Nope, these are things you might remember from your childhood or perhaps from your world travels. Lots of variety! And even some candied insects, if that's your thing. In addition to candy, there are other kitchen treats. Teas, crackers, pasta, sauces and even a deli. Really, this place has a little bit of everything. The service is exceptional-everyone that I interacted with was very pleasant. Nobody acted at all like a pirate. This is a cool little place that I look forward to returning to when I want something just a little out of the ordinary. read more
