The Smoked Salmon Pate is a must. Thank me later

Great chowder. Pro tip: You can always order in advance and pick it up from a window that’s located inside the building. Great on any day, warm or cold!!
Pike Place Chowder - Seattle
This, in my opinion, is a criminally underrated place for lunch. Great sandwiches and soup for an affordable price!
Michou Deli
Located a few blocks away - these chocolates are a bit pricey, but so delicious. Try the peanut butter cups!
Fran's Chocolates
This is a bit further away from Pike Place, but the walk is worth it. A great place to get Vietnamese coffee - and the food isn’t bad!
Aroom Coffee
Can’t miss it, this place has great cheese! Their Mac N cheese is great on a cold day
Beecher's Handmade Cheese
Great place for a dessert with unique flavors
Hellenika Cultured Creamery
Amazing pizza and sandwiches, this place is a local gem that’s hidden away from the hustle and bustle of Pike. Go, go, go!
Post Alley Pizza
This is below the main street of Pike Place, but for you comic book and board game aficionados, this is a great shop to visit
Golden Age Collectables
Parched? Grab some ginger beer next to Pike Place Chowder! Nice refreshment on any day with a kick of ginger!
Rachel's Ginger Beer
Cute Asian store outside of Pike Place Market, get all the cute stationary finds that you can send to friends (or use yourself!)
MochiThings
Another great Asian-based store to buy home goods!
MUTO
This is located closer to the water front, but a small but humble store to get some souvenirs and prints!
Pike Street Press - Letterpress Print Studio
Looking for a great view with great drinks to enjoy the sunset? Look no further than the Nest! This is the top floor of a hotel, so just head to the elevators and head on up!
The Nest
This place is a bit hidden past the stall where they throw fish, but a great and intimate spot for some Italian food
Pasta Casalinga
There’s always a line out the door, but for good reason! Great macarons - definitely worth a try
Le Panier
A small food stand with pretty powerful flavors. This is relatively new, but the owners are lovely and their food is pretty solid.
Lands of Origin
This is also on the outskirts of Pike Place, but Cloudburst has great beer and a great vibe to check out! One of my favorite breweries in Seattle
Cloudburst Brewing
Great spot for some local ciders!
Market Place Taproom
Did you know there’s different types of sourness in sourdough? I had no idea - but you can check it out here!
Three Girls Bakery
Go to the back of the stand and you can find some seating for some great Filipino food
Oriental Mart
Kind of hidden, but a nice place to grab a cocktail or two and enjoy the company of your friends. Food is pretty good here too!
Zig Zag Cafe
Cute space in Pike Place to get lost in books. It’s not as big as some commercial bookstores, but it’s quaint and does the job for book lovers!
Lamplight Books
Fancy some crumpets? This unassuming store has the crumpets for you!
The Crumpet Shop
If you’re willing to drop a bit of $$$ for some great sushi, look no further!
