If you've ever drove by Penzey's and thought ... "what is this place?" then I feel better about myself. I walk to the neighboring Starbucks every weekend and asked myself that same question, yet never took the extra 30 steps to check it out. I actually thought it was restaurant for a while! Then my neighbor turned me onto it when I was looking for smoked paprika. Duh, Store named spices... maybe they sell um I don't know, SPICES! I've only been there twice, but will continue to return until I move far far away or they shut down. This place is awesome; they have every spice you can imagine and then some. I thought everything would be loose and you would have to jar or bag it yourself, but that's not the case. It's also very reasonably priced, about $4-7/jar. They also have some special mixes for rubs, etc... If you're going to be in the area, it's a must see. You will walk out of the store with more than you came for, but your food will thank you for it!
