The Scene
Light, airy, spacious warehouse with aisle upon aisle of delectable edibles. You'll find fancy soups, crusty breads, imported pastas and olive oils, hard-to-find mustards and condiments, an impressive selection of alcohol-free wines and dozens of cocktail mixers. A refrigerated section offers beer, sausages and cheeses. It's all set to a tropical soundtrack, heavy on tunes by Jimmy Buffett. The owner is a former supplier to venerable West Coast gourmet discounter Trader Joe's. It shows.
The Goods
Selection is vast, and prices are good. But the real booty lies in the specials: imported pasta for 50 cents a pound (regularly $.79 to $2.69); Volker's sourdough baguettes for $1.50 (regularly $3); Desert Pepper salsas for $2.25 (regularly $4.15). There's a large selection of curry pastes and chutneys by Patak's, and six-packs by microbrewers McStiff's, Squatters, Red Hook and Boulder Ale. Highly recommended: Frisch-Gurken pickles by Krugermann and Cantare's fresh black-and-green olive tapenade.

This store is probably the funnest, coolest store around. It sells candy and products from all over the world, with a large portion from European countries. The first time I went I spent 2 hours just looking at all the different items, it was so much fun. And I was excited to see that they sold candy, like chocolate Smarties and ketchup flavored potato chips, that I had eaten while on my LDS mission to Novia Scotia, Canada. If you've ever lived or travelled to other countries, or even if you are interested in other cultures you will love this little, quaint store. PROS: Food Products from All Over the World CONS:

If you've been missing Trader Joe's, don't despair. Pirate O's has all kinds of gourmet goodies at acceptable prices--and they run sales! If you're coming from a long distance for a particular product, be sure to call ahead, though. These folks have a tendency to understock, or sometimes one boorish customer will come through and buy up all the Orangina (you know who you are, miscreant!).
