I love this store they have a vegan cookbook with a playlist in it including James Brown, Charles Mingus, BADBADNOTGOOD, Miles Davis, MF DOOM etc. Coolest cookbook ever. I got a small spoon here made out of olive wood, cyprus black lava sea salt, Nigella seeds, French thyme, the most delicious vegan cookie mix, and a lot of other special herbs and spices. The brand of the cookie mix is Renewal Mill, a vegan chocolate chip cookie mix. They also have vegan brownie mix at this store by the same brand, also delicious. There's everything you could ever need here for cooking, tons of chillies too. The spice associates are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Another thing I really enjoy about this store that added a personalized touch is that they have little recipe cards for you to cook some delicious meals with your new spices.

One of a kind spice shop with a huge range of interesting spices and custom blends. A great place for stepping up your home cooking game or for finding a thoughtful gift for family or friend.

I was afraid I would never find a high quality spice shop like the one in my hometown. I found that, and then some here! They have a beautiful, well thought out selection. The quality is amazing. The gift boxes are a great and unique for those people that are super hard to shop for. The folks who work there are super kind and knowledgeable. Added bonus: their covid setup is fantastic! On one side there are menus, and if you don’t want to pick up a menu there are QR codes to pull up it up on your phone. You order from behind the plexiglass, they take your contactless payment, and then go assemble your order. When your order is ready, they bring it to the other side (the pickup window). If you’d rather shop at home, you can order online and pick up at the store within a few days- they also offer free shipping over $75.
