Pike Place Market was definitely one of the things we loved about Seattle the most. It's on the list of our favourite markets in the world, for sure! We wish we could have eaten more, but our bellies and wallets did not allow it, but we'll just have to come back in the future. Do you have a favourite vendor at Pike Place Market? Let us know in the comments if we missed anything amazing! In our next video we'll be back in Europe in a new country (and one of the smallest on the continent). Make sure to subscribe, so you don't miss it! Thanks a lot for watching! 😊 - Brandon & Anja
Beechers is really popular in Seattle! We can get their cheese at just about any store up here. I think their actual cheese is better than their mac & cheese though, specifically the Flagship cheese!😍 And as a local in Seattle, I personally love Ivar’s Clam Chowder the best!!
That's nice to hear! We would have loved to try some of their cheeses on their own, but we had so many leftovers from both this video and the previous one, that we couldn't justify it. We would have loved to try out those curds and make a poutine at home. Hahaha. 🇨🇦 We tried Ivar's and a BUNCH of other local spots in the other video. You should check it out if you haven't already seen it. 😃
Also just gotta say I loved this video, many videos on food places in Seattle are of places I've never been to as a local and it's weird. But your visits were all of places I've been to and like, well done you two!
Thanks! That was definitely the goal. Locals always know best - so we wanted to actual try out places that were tried and true. It certainly worked out, given that everything was fantastic!
We were initially disappointed that we weren't able to get a bagel from Three Girls - but that meatloaf sandwich was an amazing substitute. And The Crumpet Shop was such a pleasant surprise! We frequent the UK, so we have them often, but we weren't expecting to find them in the US. Especially ones that good!
Thanks! We tried! Often at these types of touristy places, the food doesn't live up to the hype. We were so happy that this wasn't the case with Pike Place. There were SO MANY fantastic spots. Really hope can return some day for part two. We've been recommended a bunch of new spots to check out. 😄
Hey Brandon and Anja, cheers to a fantastic video. Enjoyed watching your experience in Seattle. Rain and cloudy skies in the PNW (Pacific NW) are just the norm here. Yes, you found the best of Seattle and it's tasty foods. The honesty of your food reviews are refreshing!
We absolutely loved the West coast! We visited Vancouver before this, and had an amazing time as well. It's quite different to the East coast, where I'm from. The weather being so temperamental made it a bit difficult to film, but the greenery and mountains make up for it. So many great food spots and bars as well! Thanks for watching!
Cute mic, folks. This video is appreciated considering my wife and i are planning a short trip to Seattle next year right around this time of season. The market will be on the agenda and hopefully a Seahawks game. Safe travels
We loved Seattle! Such a nice city. We have another video as well, where we try a bunch of other local food spots. You may find that one helpful as well. We recently upgraded both our camera, and mics. Now we've got a lil' mic each. So much easier. Thanks for watching, and enjoy your future trip!
The look on Brandon's face when tasting the hom bow from Mee Sum is the exact face I make eating those! lol! So delicious and glad you both liked them!
I’ll be in Seattle next weekend and your video was so helpful! I appreciate you adding the price for each food on your caption. Mee Sum, donuts and Piroshky are on my list. I was hoping you included Le Panier and the Paris-Madrid store. Those fish shirts (23:37) are cute, I have to find it!
We're glad you found it helpful! Those Mee Sum hom bow were SO GOOD. There were too many good spots in Pike Place, it was honestly hard to choose what to put in the video. Some places were a bit pricy, but overall, we absolutely loved it there. We're sure you will, too!
this was fun to watch! I'm born and raised and still live just North of Seattle and haven't been to Pike Place in many years now due to... 2020 things... I am so glad you found the BBQ Pork Hom Bow though! I would recommend that to anyone wanting a delicious snack while there! I think one of the most West Coast doughnuts is a Maple Bar, but the bacon on top just makes it better - sorry you don't like bacon like we do ;) I personally haven't been to pike place to eat food, so thank you for the ideas and reviews! also worth noting: a "hot summer day" here is 70 degrees or more and clear skies, haha! PS. did you see the Gum Wall? I hear it's pretty minty still ;)
I feel like most locals so far have said that they rarely visit the market, but they all still seem to have great memories of the delicious food there. We've also gotten so many great suggestions for next time as well! That sounds like our ideal kind of day! We're not big heat people. Despite the fact that we're currently in the UAE and headed towards SE Asia, where we will be for the foreseeable future. 😂 We did see it! We actually filmed it as well, but I didn't manage to work it into the video. 🫣
It was so good! We had so many other things to eat, but I wish we had grabbed two. One wasn't enough. If we return to Seattle, we will 100% be returning there for round two!
Been a seattle-ite for 20some years. Good on ya for finding some gems, especially the Crumpet Shoppe and the good ole OFM! Also, about time Filipino food got its come-up, yeah!
Both of those spots were amazing. We love Filipino food! We're actually currently making our way towards SE Asia, so we'll likely be visiting the Philippines at some point in the New Year. Can't wait!
As a local, the only reason I'd brave hanging out at the Market is for Beecher's, the Crumpet Shop, and the street performers. And Ivars clam chowder is the default. The Market was also an amazing second date spot (back when I was single)... "Lets pick up salmon and vegetables at the market, and I'll cook you dinner."
Yeah, the crowds are pretty nuts, but I feel like we'd still brave the madness every now and then for some of the spots we tried. Especially for those hom bow!
Meatloaf sandwich was pretty fancy. Salmon pate probably did have cream cheese in it. People in the PNW will put cream cheese in anything. I find it odd in sushi rolls. My family is from NFLD, mom was the first born in US. I'm from Weymouth MA. Our clam chowder is on the thin side. Feel thick chowders have too much flour as a thickener. That was a lot of food!! Hi from sunny Oregon.
I'm not really a fan of cream cheese in sushi either, even though I do love cream cheese. Cheese cake is probably my favorite dessert! The meatloaf sandwich was delicious. It was just really tough to eat because it was so big. Felt like we had to dislocate our jaw to get out mouth around it. Hahaha. That's awesome! I'm from Nova Scotia. Anja is German. I feel like it's own if it's thin, as long as it's stacked with seafood. The two we had in Seattle were good, but they didn't compare to what we recently had in Belfast. That thing was FILLED to the brim with fresh seafood. 😍
Molly Moon's ice cream is from here and is amazing! Come to Fremont to check them out! I really liked salt and spoon's snicker doodle ice cream but it's so expensive. And I'm not a fan of weird flavors so Molly Moon's is my favorite.
This is the third Molly Moon suggestion! Wish we had known about it at the time. We would have chosen something local over Salt & Straw for sure (though it was also delicious).
There’s a bakery at Pike Place called Le Panier which I think you guys would like. I always get their tuna sandwich (grilled) which sounds basic but it’s made with nice, fresh tuna, the bread and fixings are nice and fresh and prices are decent. They have a wide variety of yummy sweet baked goods, too. Highly recommended for your next Seattle trip. I definitely need to try the salmon pastry from Piroshky! Where in Canada are you from? I’m from Saskatchewan but live in Seattle now.
@GeminiAroundTheWorld That sounds good! I'm from Halifax. Anja is from Berlin. I lived in Saskatoon for half a year once! Haha. Recently we made some videos in Alberta after visiting for the first time to see family. That's how we managed to make it over to both Vancouver and Seattle to film. Glad we got the chance.
Awesome that you guys tried the Oriental Mart at Pikes! People always ask me about the Filipino spot at Pikes. Of course most of us Filipinos aren’t gonna go to Pikes and get Filipino food but it’s a nice introduction to our cuisine. You hit a lot of great spots. Try the Confectional cheesecakes next time, Storyville upstairs for coffee and the empanadas at El Mercado Latino
We love Filipino food, so when I saw it was being recommended online, I knew we had to try it in the video! Have you been to Vancouver? We actually included a Filipino spot there as well-- a place called Shameless Buns. SO GOOD. We are actually currently making our way towards SE Asia. We lived there for two years previously, but never got to visit the Philippines the first go around. We will be visiting in 2025 for sure. 🇵🇭 Oooooh..we love cheesecake! And empanadas! Thanks for the suggestions. We've had enough amazing suggestions to make a part two video if we ever return. 😁
A lot of people seem to agree! We should have tried it, but we went with the salmon chowder because we knew we planned on having chowder at Pike Place. Should have went with clam! 😅
Wish we could have seen more of Washington while we were there. We didn't get out of Seattle this time around..hopefully we can come back again and see more!
We tried the Ivar's salmon chowder in our other video. It was pretty good as well! Rachel's Ginger Beer was great. As someone who's typically not the biggest fan, I would happily go back and try literally anything else there. So good!
Y'all missed out on the great Reuben sandwich the Pike Pub has to offer, as well as the giant caramel apples in the sweets shop just above the Pike Pub.
Hi guy's omg the food is to drool over and ok ok it's better than are Greggs over here which I've seen all your vlogs, I've had diabetes for just over 40 years and it's so frustrating that i can't eat anything like most of that 😪 and i also never knew that they did crumpets over there, a great vlog even though I'm left starving now and I've just eaten my dinner, take care guy's 🍻🙏
Sorry to hear that! 😞 The food was all great. Expensive, but good! We have crumpets in every grocery store in Canada, but I don't think they're very common in the USA. We were really surprised to find that spot, so we had to try. Glad we did! Thanks for watching, as always. 🍻
I guess when you live in a place like Washington you take it for granted. I've eaten at almost every place you showed. I wish you got the lobster on bun instead of the chowder that's an experience ❤❤❤.
one thing to note.... while there are obviously visitors/vacationers at the market, it is also a staple for locals that live or work in the area. that is why the businesses last as long as they have.
That's good to hear! We weren't sure how popular it was with locals, but we did our best to find out which places locals would recommend. What did we miss, that you would have recommend?
Sounds familiar! I haven't spent much time in Canada lately (where I'm from), but every time I visit, things get more and more expensive. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. We're headed to SE Asia soon, not just to grow our channel, but because it's one of the few places we can afford to live right now. 😂
@CarlsGuitars-kd6ld We tried the "red/salmon chowder" at Ivars. It was decent! We were told we should have tried the OG clam chowder. How the hell do you get it all the way in Palm Springs??
I know it was a rainy day but you missed out on getting Helenika. It’s also a newish place so there might not have been as many mentions of it online. But it’s absolutely incredible and really unique. Next time!
Thanks for the suggestion! We had ice cream in our previous video, but at Salt & Straw. Not from Seattle, but still so good! Not that we'd say no to ice cream two days in a row. 😂 We will have to check it out if we ever return!
Glad you could make it to Rachel's Ginger Beer. They do a phenomenal job. I recently completed a challenge where I ate French fries at 24 different restaurants around Seattle over 24 hours. It was madness, but I made sure to visit a location in the market as well. Would love for you to check out the video and drop a comment!
It was pretty tough to film the inside of the market. It was SUPER packed in there. Where would you recommend we try shrimp cocktail?? We absolutely love them.
@@TheCookieDoeDeer That wasn't really the complaint. As she clarified - the complaint was that she prefers mac & cheese with melted cheese as well, rather than a cheesy, bechamel-like sauce. Either way, it was still good!
I go to the market often enough that I figured there'd be a non-zero chance I'd spots myself in the background at some point but I don't think we crossed paths. Oh well!
Yeah, pretty nuts! You can definitely find cheap coffee in Seattle though. In the last video we went to Cafe Allegro, and my drip coffee was half that. If suppose it's because it was a "specialty" coffee. Their drip coffee is $3.50 for a 10oz coffee. Still expensive compared to what I'm used to..😅
@@wherearewe-yt Ya know, here in Italy we usually just get an espresso at the bar in the morning with a croissant or something and for that little coffee we pay now $1,67 which is pretty expansive too
wwwweeeellllll..... no local Seattlite goes down to the place unless you live downtown... which are most transplants to Seattle, buttttt... cant call yourself a Seattlite local/ resident if you haven't explored it in whole. Some very strange and novelty stores in the place.
Full disclosure!!!!! pikes isnt open 24/7. maybe some bars in the area are open until 2am depending on events. Although**** areas round will have things open late, but not pikes.
I can imagine most locals don't frequent Pike Place often. It's so dang busy! But it's worth stopping by for sure. A lot of great food spots in a small area. I think if we lived there, we'd stop by once and a while..but on a weekday, for sure!
I think that I speak for most English people when I say Earl Grey tastes like hairspray that your grandmother used in the 70s. Monstrous stuff that we keep for the tourists to pretend to like. To add coffee to it is a further abomination. For shame.
Hahaha. My parents drink Earl Grey, all the time. This drink was actually super tasty. The lavender was a nice touch! Not for everyone, but I loved it.
Pike Place Market was definitely one of the things we loved about Seattle the most. It's on the list of our favourite markets in the world, for sure!

TIM BITS AHHHHHRG my neighbor brought me some for by birthday (live in washington state). I fell to my knees and cried. Probably nostalgia
Ivars...I'm local

Amazing... You are the first UA-camrs that didn't call it "Pikes Place".
Hahaha. Didn't know that was a thing. Now I'm going to have to check out some other videos!
Not the first to say the real name. But many do call it Pikes Place that's true.
Also just gotta say I loved this video, many videos on food places in Seattle are of places I've never been to as a local and it's weird. But your visits were all of places I've been to and like, well done you two!

3 Girls Meatloaf is my all time favorite, ate that since I was a kid. The Crumpet Shop, Salmon Pate wtih slice cucumber, love it.
We were initially disappointed that we weren't able to get a bagel from Three Girls - but that meatloaf sandwich was an amazing substitute.
And The Crumpet Shop was such a pleasant surprise! We frequent the UK, so we have them often, but we weren't expecting to find them in the US. Especially ones that good!

I still think about those! So dang good.
Born & raised Seattleite, great 👍🏿 video so glad you enjoyed Pike Place
Thanks! And we really enjoyed it. We're not one for large crowds, but it was 100% worth it for the food selection. 😄

Ivar’s definitely makes the best clam chowder.
A lot of people seem to agree! We should have tried it, but we went with the salmon chowder because we knew we planned on having chowder at Pike Place. Should have went with clam! 😅
Best clam chowder is at the Downrigger restaurant in Port Angeles. Washington
Wish we could have seen more of Washington while we were there. We didn't get out of Seattle this time around..hopefully we can come back again and see more!
Seattle local and you hit alot of the good spots but gotta say I'm and Ivars fan for the chowder. Rachels Ginger Beer is one of my absolute favorite!
We tried the Ivar's salmon chowder in our other video. It was pretty good as well!
Rachel's Ginger Beer was great. As someone who's typically not the biggest fan, I would happily go back and try literally anything else there. So good!

Hey guys missed out on a bunch of good clam chowder and sushi spots. Also got a lot of good seafood and steak spots
At Pike Place? This video was just about eating there. We do have another Seattle video, though, where we try a bunch of other food. Check it out!
The steep prices at some of these places is exactly why we just eat somewhere else before we visit Pike's Market.
We didn't find the prices too bad (for the most part). Though we're also not from Seattle, so we don't exactly have a lot to compare to. 😅
Daily dozen was a go-to for me when I worked in downtown Seattle back in the day when Seattle cool p it was not that price either
I'm pretty sure it was 2.95 for a half dozen
Sounds familiar! I haven't spent much time in Canada lately (where I'm from), but every time I visit, things get more and more expensive. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. We're headed to SE Asia soon, not just to grow our channel, but because it's one of the few places we can afford to live right now. 😂
Ivars clam chowder is the best in the world, I can even get it in Palm Springs
@CarlsGuitars-kd6ld We tried the "red/salmon chowder" at Ivars. It was decent! We were told we should have tried the OG clam chowder.
How the hell do you get it all the way in Palm Springs??
I know it was a rainy day but you missed out on getting Helenika. It’s also a newish place so there might not have been as many mentions of it online. But it’s absolutely incredible and really unique. Next time!
Thanks for the suggestion! We had ice cream in our previous video, but at Salt & Straw. Not from Seattle, but still so good!
Not that we'd say no to ice cream two days in a row. 😂
We will have to check it out if we ever return!
Glad you could make it to Rachel's Ginger Beer. They do a phenomenal job. I recently completed a challenge where I ate French fries at 24 different restaurants around Seattle over 24 hours. It was madness, but I made sure to visit a location in the market as well. Would love for you to check out the video and drop a comment!
We loved Rachel's Ginger Beer. We'd have loved to try some other flavors, but there were just too many other things to try.
We'll check it out!
Interesting but u should have highlighted inside the market more or got some shrimp cocktail
It was pretty tough to film the inside of the market. It was SUPER packed in there.
Where would you recommend we try shrimp cocktail?? We absolutely love them.
as a seattlite, beechers is higher quality than whatever your mom is using lol
How do you know? Maybe she's using organic award winning cows cheese, forged in the mountains of Nova Scotia! 😂🧀🐄
@@wherearewe-yt even if she was, beechers has won quite a few awards, so the complaint about it not being real stuff is nuts

ha, you caught that pos behind you at 2:18 putting his garbage on the ground then strolling off
Hahaha. We didn't even notice! What a jerk.
1 thing.. Lox IS salmon :p
Hahaha. What did we even say??? We do know that, but we mess up all the time. Once that camera comes on, we forget how to even speak.😂
@@wherearewe-yt it makes it perfect if you mess up words sometimes lol
"We're budget travelers."
*laughs in Washington native* Bad choice my friends. Bad choice.
At least the food is good.
We had a free place to stay, so it made up for it! We wouldn't have been able to go to Seattle otherwise. 😂
@@wherearewe-yt In all seriousness, I'm very glad you could go. But yeah, the cost of living up here is stupid high.
Should of got the lox for breakfast
We came for the lox bagel, but they were out of bagels, unfortunately.
Not sure if there are any other options with the lox on a sandwich?
@@wherearewe-yt blazing bagels does Lox! Better alternative to the pike place one! But pike place one is good for the experience if you’ve never been!
$6,25 for a coffee ? It's a robbery but I understand that coffee in the U.S. is not cheap at all
Yeah, pretty nuts! You can definitely find cheap coffee in Seattle though. In the last video we went to Cafe Allegro, and my drip coffee was half that.
If suppose it's because it was a "specialty" coffee. Their drip coffee is $3.50 for a 10oz coffee. Still expensive compared to what I'm used to..😅
@@wherearewe-yt Ya know, here in Italy we usually just get an espresso at the bar in the morning with a croissant or something and for that little coffee we pay now $1,67 which is pretty expansive too
wwwweeeellllll..... no local Seattlite goes down to the place unless you live downtown... which are most transplants to Seattle, buttttt... cant call yourself a Seattlite local/ resident if you haven't explored it in whole. Some very strange and novelty stores in the place.
Full disclosure!!!!! pikes isnt open 24/7. maybe some bars in the area are open until 2am depending on events. Although**** areas round will have things open late, but not pikes.
I can imagine most locals don't frequent Pike Place often. It's so dang busy! But it's worth stopping by for sure. A lot of great food spots in a small area. I think if we lived there, we'd stop by once and a while..but on a weekday, for sure!
That’s not true. Many Seattleites love going to the market and do it regularly. We go on weekdays, especially in the offseason.
Boring!
Thanks for watching! 😊
I think that I speak for most English people when I say Earl Grey tastes like hairspray that your grandmother used in the 70s. Monstrous stuff that we keep for the tourists to pretend to like. To add coffee to it is a further abomination. For shame.
Hahaha. My parents drink Earl Grey, all the time.
This drink was actually super tasty. The lavender was a nice touch! Not for everyone, but I loved it.
When did pikes open ? Correction , it opened in 19zero7 , not oh 7 , thank you !
But...that's literally the same thing. 🙃
