Britt’s Pickles

I am an absolute FAN!
Britt’s Pickles are not just your average run of the mill pickled items… they are FERMENTED!
so are all of their other fantastic products. Which means the products are beyond vegetables soaked in vinegar then processed to can… these products provide natural little bacteria that provides your tummy with not only yummy food but essential gut health!
This little store front is nestled in downstairs at Pikes Place and a little bit of a challenge to find but so worth it.
Seriously my first and last stop when I am in Seattle!

Free brine shots. You read that right. If they have the kim chee brine in stock buy it all up. It’s worth more than gold. Tastes better too.
Tiny shop in the bowels of the Pikes, in the back of the building across the street from the throwing fish guys. Friendly and super excited about pickles (who wouldn’t be) they serve up some classics and fresh takes worth stopping by when you’re in the neighborhood.

This is a favorite find as of late at the market!
I love that it’s tucked away and so you are able to get out of the hustle and bustle of the crazy tourists! And, it’s pickles and kimchi and sauerkraut! All the salty goodness you need! The various pickles are good, but what keeps me coming back is the kraut!

Great pickles!!! You open the jar of the sour and there are some onions over the top and some spices. Solid pickle! They have kimchi, pickle brine, spicy, preserved lemons. The lemons were good as well. More of a lemon taste than some of the saltier preserved lemons I have had in the past. As others have mentioned you can do a shot of pickle juice as well!

I’m obsessed with pickles. I’m constantly eating them. I was so excited to come across this place. They have a bunch of samples for you to try before you buy.
They also have a pickle juice shot dispenser, which I thought was awesome.
Went with the hot and spicy pickles. They had a great kick to them!

Not sure why this place is so highly reviewed. Tried a variety of the pickles including the hot and sour pickle and to be honest I didn’t care for any of them. Maybe because I’m used to NY pickles which are fresher in texture and flavor. The people that work here are really nice though.

Had the hot and sour, and tried the ginger pickle. Just enough kick to be enjoyable. I love pickles so this place is right up my alley. Hidden but worth the trek.

I was once given Britt’s Kimchi & Ginger and pepper pickles as a gift. Best I’ve ever tasted. As soon as I arrived to the Market I made a beeline to Britt’s. Free pickles shots and a variety of samples… yeah, I spent some time here sampling everything they had to offer. And they have lots to offer. Super friendly staff and they know their products well (I ask a lot of questions.) Still the best pickles, kimchi and sauerkraut I’ve ever had. I put that sh$t on everything!

Awesome people, great product!

Very good pickles made the right way.

I was doing a bit of research before my latest road trip and found Britt’s Pickles. I was really excited to check them out because I was traveling with some major pickle connoisseurs! We were actually wandering around Pike Place market looking for a place to sit down and eat and ended up finding Britt’s pickles first. We arrived at the counter where they had samples of shooters of pickle brine! I tried the hot and sour and the pepper ginger. Both were very good but we decided to buy the hot and sour. Before leaving we also each took a shot of pickle brine. I was a bit hesitant to drink it but it was actually really tasty and not as vinegary as I thought it would be.
When we got home from our road trip we cracked open the bottle and ate the whole pickles. They were tasty but we found that we like our pickles crunchier. These pickles were softer. Overall, there pickles and the brine are really good but I wouldn’t recommend them for people who enjoy crunchy pickles.

You can buy single pickles! So great when you want the pickles but don’t want to carry the huge jar around the market!
I tried then once at a farmers market I am so happy to know they have a shop in the market!!!
The pickles are so good!!! They also have other fermented items but I have yet to try them!
The pickles have a unique flavor! And they have flavors besides just boring dill! They are crunchy just like a good pickle should be!
Also if it’s your thing you can try their pickle juice!
The staff was great!!! Beyond helpful and sweet! Also you can sample their variety of items!
The price is a bit high for normal pickles but these my friends are not normal pickles!

We accidentally stumbled across Britt’s Pickles on our way out of the market a while back and now make a point to stop there whenever we’re nearby. These are a bit pricy for pickles, but worth every penny and the staff is excellent if you have any questions.
If I had to pick a favorite, I’d go with the Hot & Sour, but every flavor is pretty delicious — make sure to sample them all! The worst part is having to ration the pickles once you get home, as it would be easy to kill the entire jar in an evening.

Black Market Kimchi.
They use their Black Garlic that is divine.
One of the best kimchis you will ever have!
And their samples of brine are absolutely out of this world.

This is my new go to pickle place. The pickles are delicious, but the pickled garlic and onions are the best! Also, try the shot of brine at the counter and you’ll understand why this place is the best.

Britt’s pickles is exactly what a foodie would expect from a world renowned market (unlike the Flea-​market quality of many other vendors in the area). Excellent brine pickled products from kimchee to kraut.
The staff are as smart and helpful as the pickles are tasty. After getting a bit of the caraway kraut for a rustic market lunch + baguette + cheese, we loved the kraut so much that we went back for more to fly home with. They mostly sell in bulk so you can try things without a huge commitment, or buy goodness for the whole family.
We will definitely be craving Britt’s pickles from afar for some time to come.

Hi I’m david I am a pickle additct… HI David.
Britts Pickles are the bomb… their Spicy Dill is soooooooo gooooood.
Nice folks working the stand will sit there and take the time to explain their whole process. I believe I talked with the owners sister… she was great.
They make sauerkraut, kimchee… and it is allll good.
But I was their for the pickles… and they do deliver the goods. If you like pickles… you will love this place. It aint cheap but it is damm good!

Go for the full sour pickles!
Yes full sour sounds a little daunting but they are delicious!
I saw this store the other day tucked behind the can can and just had to get some pickles to try. They had a tour group taking up the guys attention but once he saw I was serious about buying some pickles he came over to help me out.
I bought two of the full sour pickles (I wanted to try them before ocmmiting to a full container). The pickles are sold by the pound. He packaged them in a plastic togo container with the brine so they didn’t dry out before I ate them. The lid must not have been secure because the container leaked in my bag.
If you bring your own container it is 10% off!
When I ate a pickle with dinner that evening I was impressed with the flavor. I will be back with my container so I can buy a lot more pickles!

Fancy pickles? Who knew?
Well, sorta fancy, I mean, they have everything (kimchee and meyers lemons!) besides the standards as well, but the most important thing was the great friendly service and the straight up AWESOME PICKLES.
Yes, pop in while you’re in the market, it’s about $ 4 for three huge pickles and they are great about the way they package so no leaking in your market bag.

OMG! PICKLES!
My friend wanted to buy some meat from the butcher in the market, and while waiting I found myself thinking «Wait. Isn’t there a new (ish) pickle shop in this market??» Good thing that came to mind, because I quickly learned that the Britt’s Pickles shop is next to the butcher shop.
We walked over to the pickle area and sampled… well, everything they had to sample. I was surprised that they were also letting people sample their pickle brine and letting people purchase a bottle of just the brine. Turns out it’s delicious! He said he’s about to start approaching local bars with it because it’s great in a Bloody Mary. Why is it so good? Well, I’m guessing «no vinegar» has something to do with it. I looked at the label and saw things like sea salt, coriander seed, and mustard seed instead.
Did I buy anything? Heck yes! I love their full sour pickles. They didn’t last two days in my kitchen. :D
