I cannot say enough GREAT things about The Pickle Guys!! I have ordered from this company in the past and their products are so unique and versatile!! I love that they are a smaller shop too, mom and pop if you will, so the attention to detail is impeccable and the customer service is out of this world!! Not only do they respond to your emails very quickly, they go above and beyond to make sure that you are happy with your purchase. Something that is virtually unheard of with companies these days. When I saw that they were doing a collab with Cook It Erica & Morgan, who are influencers on social media, I knew I HAD to give it a try!! I have followed these women for years and absolutely LOVE them, and I have mad respect for The Pickle Guys, so, match made in heaven, am I right? However, I was also very intrigued with WHAT they were coming out with. Morgan’s Certified Yes Ma’am Veggie Mix and Erica’s 10/10 Watermelon. I was curious about the watermelon because the way it was described, it sounded like nothing I’d ever eaten in my whole entire life! As for the veggie mix, I will be the first to admit, I am not a veggie girly! I wish I was and I’m always trying to find ways to get my veggies in, because they are so good for you. Side note, I had seen a ton of confusion online about the pricing, so as someone who actually purchased these, they are $64. That is the final price, not a penny more!! I am so happy that I got to try these incredible products. The watermelon is so unique, It’s a little sweet, a little sour and the crunch is out of this world!! I really enjoyed wrapping it in a fruit roll up with a little Chamoy and Polvo. It’s also top-tier paired with popcorn and it’s honestly amazing to snack on, all by itself. My next step will be incorporating the brine into a watermelon martini! This is what I’m talking about when I said earlier that The Pickle Guys products are very versatile! Now for Morgan’s veggie mix, as previously stated, not a veggie girl, so tell me why, when I’m wanting a snack, I go to the refrigerator and start munching on, VEGETABLES!!!! I am so blown away! Brussels sprouts, in particular, are something that I absolutely loathe, my motto is, if bacon can’t save something nothing can! Y’all, I’m literally searching through the jar, looking for brussies!!! All of it is mouthwatering deliciousness!! The cauliflower, carrots, string beans, jalapeños, brussels sprouts, pickles, sweet pepper, I cannot pick which one is my favorite because they are all stunning! With this one, I’ve literally just been eating it straight out of the jar and drinking the brine, but I’ve seen a number of people talk about chopping them up a little bit smaller and putting it on a pizza! Best believe that’s going down!! I’ll also be making a lasagna with all the veggies included. I understand that this price point is not something that everyone can afford. However, we ALL make accommodations for the things that are worth it to us. For me personally, the effort that has gone into making both of these products taste incredible, coupled with the five star customer service of The Pickle Guys and their work ethic and commitment to excellence and the genuine care that they have for their customers, it is worth it to me. And I will be purchasing both products again. And again and again, for as long as they...
Read moreGoodbye, Pickle Guys… It is very disappointing, sad and discouraging to see a great idea and business deteriorating because of incompetence of personnel. What’s happened to Pickle Guys at the Essex Market? It was a highlight of my journey to travel every time all the way downtown from the Bronx. Not just the tickling and biting experience from the variety or bribes and fermented goods, but to be greeted and serviced with care and witty hospitality by humorous, generous and open-hearted sellers at the market’s stand. They were alive and smiling like their Pickled mangoes and onions. Their humor and smiles were crunchy like those delicious cucumbers. All that is gone… sadly. Today, my anticipation to get some pickles and have a nice conversation with the sellers was completely destroyed and probably buried under heavy weight of totally rotten attitude and open hostility from a selling person. It’s not the fact that both were deeply in social-media-scrolling disease that even raising a head to say at least a “hello” to a customer, it was the fact that I was blatantly accused of not asking them “How they can help me…” the quote was “you’re diving in, you’re not asking questions, you are supposed to ask questions, not grabbing whatever you want.” My attempts to apologize, noting however, that I wasn’t even greeted, were met by a person’s even more impressive inner confusion: “it is ridiculous, right?” - asked bitter seller the colleague standing nearby. Colleague at least was showing signs of uncomfortable silent apology, yet the signs have never transformed into words… there was biting by the barrels with cucumbers and onions today, but the biting was rotten and by people, trying to sell them… cucumbers and mangoes as usually were radiating shining smiles… but we still had to part… they were not allowed to join me on my way back to the Bronx, by a bitter, unhappy and angry seller. I think the person was tired, maybe upset, I understand… times are hard… goodbye,...
Read moreFirst, I have to mention that this is my first time ordering from the Pickle Guys. I initially heard about them from TikTok. Being that I love everything having to do with Pickles, I was super excited to try them. The flavors I ordered were, The New Pickle, Half sour Pickles and The Horse radish pickles. They came out to around $11 and some change each. When I recieved final invoice I was shocked to find out that my total was $89! I was charged $56 for shipping. That was way more then my order itself. I immediately called the company to ask if I could cancel my order due to the outrageous shipping cost. The gentleman I spoke with informed me that because I didn't choose one of there package deals witch includes shipping for $58 , and did the flavors individually, it was costing more. The gentleman was very accomidating and refunded me the difference and gave me free shipping. He just asked that in the future, when ordering to choose from the packages instead. I am thankful for that. He also mentioned that because they were a little behind in orders, that my package wouldn't be shipped out until the next week. I told him I was ok with that and that I would wait for it. To my amazement, I received the package 1 day later! I was so excited to taste them I immediately unboxed them. They were individually wrapped in selifain pretty good. There was some leaking but that is to be expected coming so far in the mail. I give a 4 star rating because to me all 3 flavors tasted the exact same. I will try chilling them to see if the flavors improve hopefully. Overall, great customer service and...
