Always liked visiting the store for a unique experience. Looking forward to visiting again when open.Ordered online and as usual wonderful marinades and sauces. One bottle was broken, but Pete came through with a replacement. Thank you Pete for keeping my taste buds aflame.
Okay so the first thing anyone has to do when they walk in here is talk to one of the attendants and do the hot sauce tour. It starts easy enough but as you work up through the levels of heat it becomes (almost) to hot to handle. I was impressed enough to walk over to the glass case and buy one of the atomic sauces that requires you to sign a waiver to purchase. Shout out to Halli for giving me a hell of a tour through their hot sauce.
Great place to find different varieties of hot sauces, spicy jams and other spicy morsels to spice up your life! My brother is somewhat of a hot sauce connoisseur and loves hot sauce more than anything and we were able to find some great gifts for him! The staff is great, sarcastic and lively! If you’re a snowflake and offended easily then you probably need to grow up a little to enjoy it to it’s fullest...if not then this is an awesome place!!!
Great little hot sauce joint, I went in the morning and did an extensive tasting of everything from the mild habanero sauces to the 8,000,000 SCU sauces. Lots of fun, and picked up a couple bottles of good stuff. They’ve even got some very rare bottles of sauces that are 16,000,000 SCU which is just plain insane.
We were disappointed to find the store was closed while we were visiting Key West the week of 10/19/20. It was one of the few places my husband was looking forward to going. He loves anything spicy, and trying new sauces!! Only giving the 3 stars because it says the store is open online, but when we walked to the store, there were signs notifying us that the store was closed.
I have never visited the store but I felt compelled to write a positive review based on the online ordering experience. I found the sauce I was looking for (Susies) that was out of stock everywhere else (Even their official website) and the package arrived very promptly with everything neatly packed and intact. For any future hot sauce needs I’ll be checking here first!
We decided to buy a local hot sauce from every place we visited on our trip to the US and Peppers of Key West did not disappoint in our mission to find a sauce from the Florida Keys. As well as having an amazing selection of sauces from all over, they also make their own range of sauces at varying heat levels. The staff were all really friendly though Tess in particular did a fantastic job at giving us a taste tour of the different sauces tailored to our preferences. She was clearly so passionate about her job and the products and we really enjoyed chatting to her. We bought a selection of their sauces from the ghost pepper to a pickle hot sauce! Reasonably priced, exceptional service and a fun experience to choose your sauces.
Peppers of Key West is one of the best hot shops Ive ever been to. The staff is very helpful, and personable. They are good natured, knowledgeable folks that love to talk about the variety of sauces they sell and are happy to help you through tasting the whole variety. They also offer shipping to anywhere in the world. We are from Chicago so this is great for us. Thank you guys for a great experience and keep it up. We cant wait to come back again. Ask for Hailey and Will, they are awesome.
We visited Peppers last week while in Key West. Originally went in the find a “different” kind of gift to take back to a friend. The Sales Associate Halli was impressive! Her knowledge of the huge selection of sauces was astounding! The selection is huge, the atmosphere is so very nicely decorated and very inviting. We enjoyed the tasting before we bought option. One taste lead to another and so forth. We had the option to have them shipped and we opted for that. Received our package Newark’s packed with a handwritten “Thank You” note from the Owners! The money was well spent and I can’t wait to try the sauces we selected! We will definitely order from here again via website!
Had an great time at Peppers! The staff is very friendly and the location is very clean. We were given our own chips and they poored the sauces on small spoons to not cross contaminate. Pete helped us. He was very attentive and funny. We had a great time with him and I left with three hot sauces. I would have bought more but I didnt want my luggage to be too heavy.
This place was a hot sauce lovers dream. They’ve got a big but still curated selection of sauces, rubs, extracts etc. And immediately served my wife and I a long line of delicious stuff to taste - bought a bottle of their first sauce we tried. Their stuff is spicy but doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Can’t recommend it enough. Shout out to Lisa for being our hot sauce guru.
I really want to thank the wonderful folks at Peppers of Key West. I ordered Hot Pepper Raspberry Preserves as a surprise for my daughter’s birthday, not only did my order come in record time, it was a big hit. I will definitely order again!
The service was excellent. The lady working at the stand was super nice. We tried tons of samples and my friends bought some hot sauces. Their selection incredible. They even have very rare sauces on display(they aren’t for sale because they are so rare). Overall amazing experience. I walked out with my mouth on fire and enjoyed it.
I order products and get them shipped to me! GREAT selection of products, fast shipping and amazing staff and owner! Keep up the great work guys!
Such an amazing and knowledgeable staff!! They can really handle the heat! Let me sample everything I wanted and really give my taste buds a run for their money!!
This establishment is a definite must see if you are in Key West. The staff is extremely courteous and knowledgeable. The amount of sauces is unbelievable but the staff will direct you to what your taste is. They are more than happy to let you try the sauces as well as test your pain threshold.I brought home 3 of their brand name sauces and am enjoying every last drop. Looking to order more from their website.
My favorite place on Earth :) super helpful and knowledgeable staff. Huge selection of hot sauces. I can’t wait to go back and fill my stock up again. It is really a sweet (spicy) spot. I can only recommend. Must visit!
The staff that runs this place are fun to talk with. They will let you try all kinds of hot sauces. They range from sweet to spicy and mild to blazing hot. Its a fun place to checkout. If you are a hot sauce enthusiast, they have a lot of limited edition extracts by Blairs. Check it out!
Great selection. Tessa was very knowledgeable and you can sample everything. Will definitely go back.
We stumbled by accident into this shop. It was sauce heaven so many different sauces. Hot, sweet, fruti you name it, they have it. You can try it all. The best, they even take care of shipping and packing for you. Nice staff 👍
Amazing selection of unique and great hot sauces. The free samples and tastings really help you understand what you want to buy. The staff is as friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable as anyone could be. I never walk out of there empty handed. Defiantly recommend this place if you are going to visit Key West!
Absolutely great experience here. Cant even begin to describe the amounts of sauces we tried - all very good. Did the hottest pepper challenge which was fun - theres a vending machine with nice cold Gatorades just in case. The lady who helped us was so patient in us trying everything and was very knowledgeable. That enthusiasm is apparent through everyone who works there too. Prices werent bad either!
Great establishment, super friendly staff. The young lady who helped us spent 20 min providing and explaining samples of their products, and also gave our young daughters samples of honey. My fav was the Cayenne Pepper hot sauce, but tons of great sauces to choose from.We purchased several items, and mistakenly left them on the counter when we left (dont ask). We left a message with the owner when we got home, and he promptly called back and arranged to ship the items to us.Great sauces, great service. Really enjoyed all of it. Well be ordering regularly from the website, and well definitely be back!
Cute little spot, has a HUGE selection of sauces and spices and they have a tasting bar so you can sample anything they have. Bought some fantastic sauces and seasonings, I would definitely recommend stopping in, very friendly and helpful staff and this is a fantastic place if you love to cook and are looking for some unique seasoning blends. They also have delicious dips and salsas ranging in all different levels of heat.
Great Store with Lots of choices you can try! Very helpful staff! Tell them what you are looking for and taste test untill you find what you like!
A must-do for any hot sauce fan. They give you a little joke-filled sales pitch where ask about what you like and give you samples. I always end up finding a few sauces I cant live without.
Awesome selection of hot sauces! You can sample practically their entire collection which is not only fun, but a great way to decide on what to buy.Shipping is very reasonably priced if you dont have a carry on.
This is one of the best special things to do in Key West. This store is across from the Hyatt. They have a sauce tasting bar, where you can sample sauces for free. They provide chips. Be sure to bring your own drinks, or you have to buy them from their machine. The sauces they have include hot & sweet sauces, but also peanut butter & some jams. My wife & I spent over 30 minutes here & enjoyed the experience, ending up buying a variety of sauces. This was truly fun. My wife got to one of the hottest sauces, but I had to stop in the mild range. Our server Alfred was really helpful in finding sauces for our taste & that were vegetarian.
Great experience, expert sales advise, and gut laughter...Hally is their premier Ambassador, I suggest you buy her cookbook, lol.
I went to key west with my family on vacation and while walking around we went into Peppers of Key West. I bought their chicken wing sauce cause there was a really cute girl working there and I was being an awkward mess. Three days later I had the wing sauce with my French fries and it tastes really good. Id defiantly recommend going there.
If you like very spicy things you need to go here. You can try the hot sauces, there are some with absolutely amazing flavors. Highly recommend coming here
Samples galore! Taste everything before you buy! Oh, and their house sauces are delicious... I bought a few. Looking forward to next time I get a chance to visit.
Great selection of hot sauces made with a huge variety of peppers and degrees of spiciness. The tasting bar has samples of almost every one of the sauces on the shelves. Individual bottles of the stores own brand can be kind of expensive but a box set of 5 is relatively cheap. I was able to mix and match which sauces I added to the box, too.
We were initially excited about the free samples and were delighted by the service and selection this shop offers! The employee gave everyone multiple samples and individualized per everyones taste. Unique souvenirs! And you can buy more online too!
Great place for anyone who likes hot sauce, Halli was very helpful
The selection was very wide and they let you to taste before you buy. We stopped by just to check place out but some of them treated so good ended up buying 2 bottles. If you like hot souces I think you will love this place
Great place !!! Knowledgeable staff, bought loads for everyone, and me 😁👍
Me and my wife were walking by and seen the pepper sign out front. We walked into to find a amazing collection of hot sauces. We sat down to do some tastings. My wife is not big on hot sauce with alot of heat. But our professional hot sauce consultant by the name of Will hand picked a bunch of sauces that my wife would die from the heat for her and she ended up liking a bunch of them. My hot sauce tolerance for heat is pretty high. I tried pretty much all of the sauces and they were all excellent. There in house sauces were all really excellent with alot a flavor and not so much of the heat but some do still have a good kick. Would most definitely recommend this to anyone. Thanks Will you did a great job. Will be returning next year to pick up more sauces.
Go here to try out tons of different spicy sauces!! They serve you sauce at the bar to help you find the best sauce for your taste. Very friendly staff.
Large variety of sauces ranging from mild to you may need a doctor. They have a tasting bar where they will let you sample a variety of sauces. Very friendly staff and very helpful. If you are brave try their hottest sauce and get a button!
This is a cool place to go to for fun. You can taste different hot sauces before buying them. Love the idea and its nice that they give chips to taste the sauces..fun place!
They used to carry more salsas than they do now, so it was a bit of a disappointment to not find the array of salsas that they once had. Was not happy when the person working asked what flavors we liked, proceeded to pour a garlicky sample onto a spoon, and we tasted it. . .expected it to taste like garlic and the only thing we tasted was heat. Usually you get a nice garlic flavor and not the kind of heat. I like my sauces to have flavor, not burn. They should certainly ask if you like things with a lot of heat. Thats what we had been used to from Peppers as well as similar places in other tourist spots, like the Pepper Palace in St. Augustine. Maybe that was my mistake for not asking how hot it was, but I think the onus should be on the staff. Didnt find any salsas that we couldnt find at home, so didnt buy despite the fact we were willing to had we found something that had flavor and not just heat.
Had a blast trying new sauces. They know their stuff. Highly recommend
Got the House Cayenne Pepper Sauce for my GF and she loves it. Very laid back atmosphere and they let you sample all of the sauces. Loved the rating experience a lot. Aloha!
A charming little hot sauce emporium that fits right in with the quirky Key West vibe. A must-visit for any spice aficionados. Their homemade sauce makes a great gift!
It’s awesome! Leora was so helpful and happy to help us! I loved it even being allergic To pepper 😅
Good stuff! Totally fun experience! Great place for your pepper needs and good for a saucy little gift! Definitely visit!
Huge variety of gourmet hot sauces, unlimited, guided taste testing. Online ordering from the website for convenient reordering.
Really fun place to stop by for some great hot sauce tasting. Plus everything is not that expensive here. Watch out for those ghost pepper sauces!
Miss this place, because the store front is no longer open.
SPICY!!!Palo Alto Pepper Sauce, seriously. Awesome sauce, nice heat, some smoke and A+ flavor, support the firefighters.Colon Cleaner, it does work💩
This is a great place to try some hot stuff. Very friendly and lots to choose from. Watch the little ones with some of the names of the products. They like to position the bad words inappropriately.
Great place to stop in and sample different types of hot sauces. Staff was very friendly and helpful!
We visited Peppers for the 2nd time during a recent trip to Key West. The sales person that helped us (Katie) was very helpful, and let us try a number of different sauces. We ended up spending about $40 on this trip. Cant wait to go back!
Pretty nice shop. Large assortment. Even had some rare high test Blair’s sauces. I will be visiting again.
Great hot sauce! Go in there on a full stomach! They will feed you many delicious spoonfuls of spicy stuff to try!
I am in Key West regularly but had never been to Peppers. The staff was knowledgeable and very friendly. The sauces were out of this world. If youre into seasoning, cooking, or just love something thatll light you up, This is THE place to go.
Huge diverse selection - fun friendly staff
By far one of the most fun tastings I have ever done, and I am not even that big of a spice fan!
They are extremely nice, but I do not be satisfied with the variety of Hot sauces, I was looking for something difference than the Super extra Fire Chili Salsa! However I like visit this store!
Staff is very friendly and theyll let you try as many sauces as you want. They have more sauces than you could imagine. Fun little shop in Key West, would go back for sure.
Reallly great place for picking up hot sauce. Ask for best sellers and u wont be disappointed. Oh yea, bring water! Ask for sales girl Ika. Shes the best!
If you like hot sauce at all a must visit. You can try them all to decide which you like the best

They literally werent willing to serve us. Immediately when we walked in, they said they wouldnt serve Boy Scouts. This is an example of a business that has low morals and prejudice, to deny service to a group or organization.
