Peppercorn Gourmet Goods

This store is so full of goodies that you need to make sure you have ample time to really get around and see what’s there. There are two floors and they are both ginormous. I personally love the kitchen gadgets and all of the Colorado specialty foods. There are lots of beautiful dishes as well and home décor items — it’s really a fabulous place to pick up gifts both big and small. My one pet peeve is that they often only have one person doing check-​out and it can take forever in line. But otherwise, great experience.

First, I’ve got to say that I’m not much of a shopper. I don’t go out seeking to buy things very often. Despite that, this place makes me very happy. The array of goods on offer is outstanding.
I do love to cook, and make most of our meals at home, so the aspect of Peppercorns that pleases me greatly is the selection of cookware. Real cookware, for real cooks, with quite a few obscure and interesting items (along with more standard fare). I always find something unusual and unexpected. (The cookware section is located in the back of the store on the east side. It is easy to pass by if you aren’t looking, or if you stay more towards the front of the large place.)
Peppercorns offers many other things besides cookware, though mostly kitchen and food related items– hot sauces, coffee makers, linens, cookbooks, jams, tea-​making gadgets, dishes, mugs, knives, and an endless selection of other goods as well.
At Peppercorns you will pay top dollar for everything. Full retail price, even when the MSRPs from the manufacturers weren’t meant to be taken seriously. On the flip side, however, this is a great place to go if you are seeking to find a quirky gift for someone. Despite the high prices of many items, there is also a vast array of little, fun things for $ 20 or under.
Again, I’m not much of a shopper, but I usually stop in Peppercorns whenever I’m walking along Pearl, just for the fun of seeing everything contained within.

What a gem of a store in Boulder on Pearl. There is everything you could possibly want for your kitchen and home in here. I love this store. While meandering through, you can spend a day here. There is something for everyone. I could get lost in here as well with two floors. I bought a couple of gadgets for the kitchen and enjoyed the entire shopping experience.

My boyfriend, Geoffrey, and I strolled effortlessly in and out of Pearl Street’s Mall stores and enjoyed Peppercorn’s unusual items. We browses leisurely, but I left my wallet in our vehicle so I vowed that we would return later. Geoffrey and I recently started trying different soda and collecting the bottles after we are finished. We bought two bottles with our lunch at Pizza Coloré and saved the bottles to take home. We went into Peppercorn again after seeing the interesting bacon novelty items the store offers. I chose some of the Maple Bacon Saltwater Taffy and we looked a little more before proceeding to the checkout. While we were looking around, a Peppercorn employee looked at us and said, «Can I help you with something? Like your trash?» Geoffrey politely refrained from needing their «help» and explained that we were saving the bottles for the top of our cabinets in our kitchen. Another employee behind the cash register started laughing at us. So, I put down my chosen item and walked out. Will not be going back. You all are very rude and I did not appreciate it in the slightest.

Holy hell this place is ginormous. I was hanging out on Pearl Street wasting time on a Sunday and this store looked fun. I didn’t actually end up buying anything, but I entertained myself for a good hour just looking at all the different home/​kitchen/​cooking supplies that Peppercorn has.
This store could easily replace a Bed Bath & Beyond for home supplies — If you’re in the market for those types of goods, I recommending checking out Peppercorn first.

My favorite cooking store in the history of the world. I could spend thousands of American dollars here — love it. All the equipment and recipes you need to make a beautiful mess in your kitchen.

Found fantastic items there! A bit of sensory overload at first, but I circled several times & then started shopping! Will be going back there soon!

Williams Sonoma + your favorite European home accessories store had a baby and this was the outcome. Never miss a chance to pop in here when I’m in the area. Terrific selection of beautiful and somewhat unique things for the home.

This place blows away any cooking store I’ve ever been to. The selection of kitchen gadgets is endless! I also love how they have a section for products unique to Boulder and Colorado, make for great gifts to take home. They also carry nostalgic candy, great gourmet foods and wonderful table linens and ceramic ware. I wish I had more time to check out the upstairs! Move over Williams Sonoma!

Great little shop on the mall. They have nearly anything culinary which is great. The coffee selection seems to have dwindled. Though definitely worth stopping in to check their unique selection of goods.

Peppercorn is one of those places that makes Boulder special. If you need a cool gift for anyone in any circumstance, go to Peppercorn, and it will not disappoint. They have fun, silly stuff but also really nice, quality stuff. The staff is nice. The upstairs floor is my favorite. If you haven’t been, definitely check it out!

This thing has everything a major bake-​holic would need for any recipe! Loved the selection of things as well as the odd things also carried by the store. Wish it were a bit more organized, but guess that has to do with the popularity of the store. While Sur la Table is great, it does not have anywhere near the same selection this store has.

I have been in this store several times in the year since I wrote my earlier review. Each time I have found what I needed or gotten the information I was looking for. I also have evaluated the scale on which I based by star awards in the past and given my greater awareness, really feel I should up the rating here.
Please do read the original for specifics, too.

I moved here from the NY Metro area and had a hard time finding decent ingredients and gear. As a professional I’m pretty particular about what I want. This place has it all and super helpful people to help you find it. it can get a little crowded sometimes but for good reason.
I rarely rave about shops and i hate shopping but this is one to get lost for hours in.

This kitchen/​gourmet store on the amazing Pearl Street Mall in Boulder has soooooo much potential, but definitely falls short. In the last 8 years it has gotten worse I feel. It is definitely a staple in Boulder, yet I find them so incredibly disorganized. I have had multiple friends register here for weddings, and they have lost some of their gifts purchased for them from out of state guests.
You walk in the store and you are immediately overwhelmed by WAY too much inventory. I mean, every single little crevice of space has an item. The window displays are terrible… there is no flow or charm or theme. I think Peppercorn needs to pay a visit to the Cupboard up north an hour in Fort Collins to see what a kitchen store SHOULD look like.
Worth a visit, but as a local — I can’t stand this place. They need to clear out half the inventory or come up with a better way to display everything. Also — you’ll notice that the shelves against the walls are crooked and looks like they will break at any second. I would hate to be that person walking by and getting killed by 300 glass plates falling on my head. Oh, and the carpet is old and gross and has spots everywhere. Really — get it together, Peppercorn. You have so much potential to be a wonderful store!
Oh, and put things on sale if they have already been out for a whole season. Quit recycling your goods season after season — it’s a bad look, and bad business.

Peppercorn is quite possibly my favorite store in all of Boulder.
Hard to find food items (think international favorites), any cookbook you could ever imagine, a killer selection of dishes, an entire wall of hot sauce and more make up this amazing store.
This isn’t your typical kitchen store, no sir, this is the kind of store you wish would outfit your home every season.
For me, no visit to Pearl street is complete without a stop into Peppercorn. I love looking at what new things they have in store. Close to a holiday? Come in here for one of the best selections of boutique décor and decorations for any holiday.
Insider tip: you can find CU pasta and even Christmas ornaments here at all times of the year!

Great little gourmet kitchen and food boutique. We were on a mission to find those candy wax mustaches and were having no luck until we stopped here. Did they have the item we were looking for? Hell, no. However, their sales associate thought out of the box and presented us with bendable straws with attachable mustaches. The family pictures we took later on the vacation were very humorous.
I was in amazement as I browsed this magnificent store. At the same time I was very thankful that my hometown doesn’t have a Peppercorn. If it did, my credit cards would be maxed out and my savings account would be empty. Every aisle I cruised down I found something I wanted. Did I need it? No, but that is what makes Peppercorn Gourmet Goods an addicting store. Their items are so unique, you convince yourself that you need them all.
My favorite section was the entire wall of hot sauce. I got heartburn just looking at all the different brands.
I may revisit Boulder just to be able to shop at Peppercorn again.

This massive kitchen collection is marvelous. I could spend forever in this store gawking at gadgets, browsing through all the books and dreaming about all of the décor. Their selection is better than any kitchen store I’ve ever been to. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for Shun knives, a baking book from Portland, Oregon, chopsticks with little owls on them, cocktail glasses with glass-​blown dragons or bento boxes shaped like penguins.
Multiple staff approached us as we were meandering through all the sections of the store to make sure that we were able to find what we were looking for. We ended up getting a beautiful santoku knife, the above-​mentioned owl chopsticks and a knife sharpener.
I really wished that I lived closer to the Peppercorn; regrettably I don’t live in the same city, let alone state (let alone time zone). It has an unrivaled selection. Also, it is hilarious reading all the ridiculous hot sauce labels.

Every time I visit Boulder and the Pearl Street Mall, I spend hours in this shop.
If you like to eat, cook, or need kitchen goods (including table clothes, placemats, napkins)… this is the place to go. Also a very cute infant/​baby selection upstairs.
minus one star for being a bit on the pricey side.

This place has pearl street prices and the excellent taste and selection to match. I suppose when you buy a million or upwards home in Boulder you have to have the kitchen to match. The kitchen and housewares are absolutely beautiful with an amazing selection of gourmet cooking devices and beautiful french linens. The tableware is also gorgeous.
Upstairs they have a lovely home décor section with trays, linens, bedding etc. Love!
They apparently have a wedding registry option which I feel fairly sure would be dangerous for any bride.
