There's nothing I can say about Penzey's that hasn't been said before. If you love to cook and are looking for inspiration, this place will always manage to give you new ideas. Having relocated to Phoenix from San Francisco, I was ecstatic to find a Penzey's nearby (less than 10 minutes away as opposed to the 30 minutes I used to travel). This Penzey's is located in Tempe Marketplace near a mattress store and a health store, across the parking lot from JC Penney's. Like other Penzey's, you can smell the spices and read the label of the sample jar to get ideas on how to use the spice you're looking at. The people working at the store are really friendly and returns/exchanges are easy (at least in my experience). Finally, the customers are phenomenal. During my first trip to this store, I met this really nice lady who gifted me with a jar of shallot pepper! You gotta love it when the customers are equally as awesome as the store itself:)
