Inside Truffle Queen - super friendly staff!
Sean K.

This is a super cute, small shop along Pike Pl between Pike St and Pine St. The friendly staff were very engaged and desired for customers to sample their products as they are confident that a taste would result in a sale. They were right! I tried the lemon curd and apple curd - both were delicious, but alas, the jars would require that I check in my bag at the airport on the flight back home since they are more than 3 oz and technically liquid, so I opted for a non-liquid product to try. Truffle Queen's truffle salt is AMAZING! It takes a minuscule amount of the salt to add a huge punch of flavor. I sampled a few grains and was sold! I'm looking forward to sprinkling this on my homemade popcorn when I get home. It makes for a great gift as well. This is a must-visit shop if you're hanging out in Pike Place Market. But beware if you sample something - it's so good that you'll need to buy something and bring it home to enjoy. And it's not cheap but worth the $$$$.

Create your own charcuterie $15, truffle cheese and truffle honey were my favorite paired with the prosciutto and red wine tasting

Walking through Pikes Place Market and stumbled upon Truffle Queen. So happy that we did, from the moment we walked in we were welcomed with a menu and some recommendations. The menu had a wide variety of sweet, white, red and sparkling wines to choose from. We decided on a Cab, Malbec, and Super Tuscan. All three reds were delicious and the pour was perfect. There was also a create your own charcuterie menu for $15, totally worth it everything paired so well with the wine. It's a beautiful store, I was blown away by the experience. 10/10 would recommend if in the area. Perfect date night spot especially if you want to get a bang for your buck.

This is a small shop that specializes in truffles. They offer truffle tours with tastings. There was a tour guide with a fairly big crowd when I was there, so I felt the owner's attention was focused on them and I did not even receive an acknowledgment that I was present. I asked about prices and got the hand "wait." After looking around for a bit, my colleagues and I left.

5 stars for this awesome store across the street from Pikes Market in downtown Seattle. We stopped in to smell the delicious truffle infused products and sampled the intense truffle salt which we bought a bottle of plus an $11 bag to throw in my purse. Everything is imported from a Italy and they ship anywhere in the USA and probably internationally as well. You have to stop by!!

Wine slushy

Service was great! Greeting upon walking in! Lady was super friendly enjoyed the slushy wine and the peach Bellini here wish they had it slushy style too. They have all sorts of truffle things which I absolutely love! Come and try out the slushes as you explore pike place market!

$10 tastings per person. 3 different pours!

Our wine-tender was great 10/10! Wine was amazing 10/10! Cute little bar top to sit at with your friend or partner right in the heart of Pikes Place market. Small spot but great finds! Try the Lili red sparkling wine, it's delicious!

Black truffle - great on cheese or for use in making truffle aioli

Truffle Queen is a fun place to visit in Pike Place Market. In addition to truffle-focused goodies (olive oil, nut brittle, hot sauce, mustard, pesto, etc.), they have a ton of other non-truffle items for purchase. Check out their pasta, red sauce, infused olive oils, balsamics, chocolate, caramel sauce, and of course wine. The staff are really friendly and knowledgeable about the products in their store. I really like going to TQ to taste product samples as well as for wine tastings. I've found some really delicious products and wines that just had to come home with me. If you're heading to Pike Place Market, make a point to stop at Truffle Queen. You will be glad you did!

Wine flight!

Great wine selection, super fun truffle options, plus you can sit outside and have a wine tasting flight!

My friend and I visited Pike Place Market on a hunt for truffle oil, so we stopped by Truffle Queen (we learned about it on a local food tour). Marcus was super friendly and introduced us to the world of truffle products! It also happened to be during a time where they offered $5 glasses of wine on happy hour. I loved that I could explain exactly the type of wine I was looking for, and Marcus quickly identified the perfect one. Because I visited right before the COVID-19 food business closures, people did not have the ability to sample products on their own. Instead, Marcus served my friend and I samples of all the different truffle products at the counter. It was great sitting at the bar, drinking wine, and learning about each of the different truffle products. I ended up getting the Arrabbiata spicy tomato sauce, truffle salt (now a household staple), truffe pesto, black truffle oil, white truffle oil, white truffle cream, and a bottle of wine! The pricing might be considered high, but it's good quality pantry staples that will be long lasting, for at least the next 18 months. The pricing on the wine is very fair, and Truffle Queen offers wine specials: 3 bottles for $65, 6 bottles for $125, and 12 bottles for $225. This is because all the bottles of wine are similarly priced, so they can offer this great deal! Truffle Queen also offers shipping services, so I packed a box for my mom out of town to enjoy on her own. The package arrived at her home in Alabama in less than five business days, which was great. Now that I've visited Truffle Queen, I am addicted. While the product itself is fantastic, the customer service is equally as wonderful.

We tried truffle salt, roasted red pepper pesto, a tapenade, and a hazelnut paste that puts Nutella to shame.

Another Pike Place Gem! Wines of Washington Tasting Room is a must try. This is easily one of the…read moremost unique tasting rooms I've been to. Amazing wines, creative cocktails, solid snacks, great service and even games. You could wander in "for one flight" and somehow emerge six hours later wondering where the time went (in the best way.) On the wine side, they offer several thoughtfully curated flights, or you can build your own adventure. Which I highly recommend. The dessert wines alone are incredible, and the selection of aromatic whites is seriously impressive. No matter your palate, there's something here that will make you pause, sip again, and nod approvingly. And then there are the wine-based cocktails that deserve their own standing ovation. A wine tasting room doing cocktails this well is rare. We tried the Espresso Martini, the French 125, and the Lavender Lemon Martini, and every single one was better than I expected grape-based cocktails to be. Like, pleasantly shocked. Bottom line: if you're anywhere near Pike Place and enjoy wine (or cocktails, or fun, or all of the above) this place is a must. I can almost guarantee it'll become your new favorite spot.

I rarely leave one-star reviews because I usually choose places I genuinely enjoy--but this…read moreexperience was beyond irritating and disappointing. This used to be one of my favorite spots at Pike Market. For years, I made it a tradition to bring out-of-town guests here. Over time, I have brought more than 100 people here. It had a charming, warm, and welcoming feel--like a hidden gem in the city. It oozed with kindness and fun. Unfortunately, that has completely flipped! Since the new manager, Anthony, took over, the entire atmosphere has shocked me. What was once inviting now is rigid, cold, and unwelcoming. The biggest issue, however, was the way I was treated. The interaction felt unnecessarily rude and dismissive, which was both surprising and disappointing given my long history with this place. Great establishments are built not just on food or ambiance, but on how people are treated--and that piece is clearly missing now. It's especially unfortunate because the rest of the team still shows glimpses of what this place used to be. Jordon, was genuinely kind and pleasant, but one positive interaction couldn't outweigh the manager's miserable attitude. It's hard to see a place that once felt so special lose its charm like this. I know the winemaker Paul is a great person - so it is hard to leave such a terrible review, but at the same time, if this was my place -- I would want to know what was happening behind the scenes at my establishment. I truly hope leadership reflects on how customer experience is being handled moving forward. Don't give money to places that have toxic attitudes and are joy crushers! Life is too short and far too precious! In the meantime, there are many nearby spots that consistently deliver both quality and incredible hospitality. Skip this place, and instead go to Browne Family Vineyards Tasting Room, The Lonely Siren, The Pink Door, Place Pigalle, or Maximilien. Those places are working very hard to create an exceptional experience!

You can choose to sit on the main floor, outside, or upstairs. Got a flight of red wine, a flight of whites, and a flight of chocolate (which comes with a glass of wine specifically as a pairing. This was my favorite wine). AND a free snack bowl was provided! The workers did an excellent job. They brought out the wines one at a time- describing each one in detail, even pointing out which were their favorites. The service was very personable, which is something I don't always get at other places that do wine tastings. The chocolates were melt in your mouth, with unique flavors, making it extra fun. I must note- getting the flights that we did was pricey, but I know, most wine tastings and fancy chocolates are going to be expensive. I also wish there was a little more chocolate in the flight. It was difficult to cut up and share. However, this was a wonderful experience that I'm happy to have tried once, and they deserve the 5 stars!
