Pike Place Nuts

We were interested in buying nuts and I should have walked away when the cashier ignored us and kept talking to a friend. He said to us «When were you gonna get my attention»? Seriously? He didn’t ask if we wanted to sample anything so we paid $ 8 for Caramel cashews. They were super sweet, I thought they needed a hint of salt. Wouldn’t go back here, there are so many incredible places in the market with people asking how you are doing or if you need help.

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 ½ 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 ½ 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.

Very rude. We stood at the counter will the staff person sat there in front of us texting. Even when we commented. He just sat there. Believe the other reviews. These people are arrogant and rude. I don’t care if the nuts are good nothing is worth the attitude.

I have been getting my roasted nuts here for over a year. Nuts are always fresh and warm (when they are suppose to be). If you have a sweet craving, this is a great place. I got the cashews today and they were really good. I have always had friendly service, Brock is pleasant and welcoming. I will keep coming back on my Friday trek through the market.

Excellent roasted peanuts! Love this place. The 4 stars are for the nuts but service gets about a 1 star, but I am here for the nuts and not the service. Sure service could use some help but I would hate dealing with tourists all day too, so I give them a break. :) Go here and get the nuts, very good! :)

This is not a 4 star restaurant — it’s a nuts joint. Which means, they roast nuts, you get them in a bag, and it’s a reliable, tasty treat.
I loved the flavors and variety of the nuts they have, the sense of humor of the staff, and the fact that it’s a family owned business.
You know, after reading all the reviews ladened with possible sexual innuendo I can’t go on to describe the nuts or even say the word «nuts» without peeing my pants, so i deliver my point succinctly: the best nut stand with the most variety in Seattle, hands down.

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.

Do not go here!!! I totally believe the other postings about how terrible this women is; I went there today and the women who runs this place was extremely rude. With a smile on my face and love in my heart, I asked if she had boiled peanuts by chance but in short she basically put down the south. The remarks that were made also made me think that she didn’t like the fact that I had some samosa’s from another vendor in my hand. I planned on buying different nuts but after her unnecessary rudeness I declined. No one deserves to be treated that way!!! Don’t support this behavior.

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

Have really liked this place in the past. The nuts are good and the price is just ok. The person working there on the day we were there obviously wanted to be somewhere else. We bought some cashews and orange almonds.

These nuts SUCK EGGS. People who work here are STUCKUP! The minimum purchase is $ 7 &the guy who served me pound my nuts on the edge of the table!
I mean seriously, if that nut bag fell down I would not pay for it. The nuts are not full crunch either, it is basically roasted with crap on top. Mostly pure sugar, I did not taste any flavor.
Almond nuts, roasted peanuts, pistachio, they all taste the same. The display looks good but when you eat them they taste fake. More like plastic of some sort.
don’t even bother coming here, the people here ignore you. Don’t even say hi and act as if you are a ghost or something.

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 ½ pound bag is pricey. I may stick to my Costco raw almonds.

Pike Place Nuts is a great name and perfectly fit the way they were the other day (Thursday). I was at the market with our Granddaughter and we decided to buy some Fresh Roasted Nuts. I have shopped there many times and they have never been overly friendly but Thursday was ridiculous. Joking I asked the lady in the booth — what is the time frame for Fresh Roasted. She commented, «We put the F”“ing» nuts in the F”“ing” over at exactly 425 «F”“ing» degrees”. She kept going and I and my 15 year old G Daughter just stood there in shock. I couldn’t believe it — so I told her I was just making conversation. Her reply was then, «Say hello and place your order — don’t question our sign». OK I will not do that again.

This is by far my favorite Pike place stop. Definitely a must go!

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!

Whoa hello! This place is yum! This is one of those stands that reminded me of the good ol’ time I had back in New York with all the street stands roasting sugar/​honey covered nuts.
Except they have such a big selection and really large nuts (har har) as well hanging from the ceiling. You can’t go wrong :)

Pike Place Nuts — nutty goodness in a sack!
The –1 star is for the raise in cost for ½ of nuts (hey, I’m a student!). It used to be $ 5.00, but now it’s $ 6.00. Remember to bring cash and that you can mix and match your nuts (har, har) to your preference!
The selection is great, and the sweet crunchy coatings make it so much better to get your omega-​3 oils than just boring, old plain unsalted, unflavored nuts. Don’t forget to get a drink somewhere too, because the sweetness will make you kind of thirsty after munching on these.

Sometimes you really have to have hot nuts in your mouth.
You can’t find too many places with hot nuts for sale. And since I’d just bought tea bags (really!) from MarketSpice down the corridor, it seemed only appropriate to buy a sack. A nut sack.
We sampled some of the nutkeeper’s nuts and decided immediately which ones we wanted to get. Oddly enough the nutkeeper completely ignored us by pittering around his nuthouse for a couple minutes (no doubt playing with his nuts) while we waited to order.
I’m used to hot salty nuts in my mouth and these were a little too sweet. We ate them for a couple days and then threw the rest away. There are only so many nuts a girl can put in her mouth after all.

The measure of a good city is its street food. Though Pike Place Nuts isn’t quite on the street, close enough.
A five-​buck bag of warm lightly salted cashews — cashews as big as a baby’s elbow — that’ll take the chill off of any cold, damp day.
I see they’ve got other things (think I tried the pecans once). I’m all about the cashews. I think I’ll grab a bag on my way to work.
(i’m so proud of myself. I made no jokes about holding a warm nut sack in the palm of my hand… oh wait…)

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.
