An amazing collection of smells greets you the second you walk in the door. The shop is a big bright open space that is easy to move around in even when it's busy, which is often. If you are a cook or a bartender even in your amateur dreams this place is heaven. The selection of bitters alone is inspiring. Some great cookbooks (Vij) and I guarantee some spices you never imagined (vanilla lavender sugar). I also really like that you are forced to slow down! One till it's slow but the clerks are friendly, have good cooking suggestions and what's the rush anyway?
