| - So, I stopped in with a friend today after lunch because he had wanted to grab some spices for some dishes he was going to cook and I got to tag along. I admit, I need to step up my cooking game a bit, and I think this place gave me some motivation to do so.
I had never heard of this place before, and when my friend had mentioned it, I admit, I was intrigued. A store just for spices? My brain lit up at this idea. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when I entered, but I can tell you, this is one heck of an interesting place. Upon entering the place smelled like a spice store, but in a good way. Clean, well organized with a huge selection of just about every spice possible.
Each bottle comes not only with the ingredients, but ideas on how to use it as well. Some of the spices seemed unique to me, and I found it interesting to see what things can be used to spice up dishes. The spices themselves come in a variety of sizes and ranging in prices. I saw some that were just a few dollars for a small container, and over $40 for others. The jars they sell them in are reuseable, so if you buy a jar of a certain spice, you can purchase the bag to reuse the same bottle. I like this idea. Plus, they also sell empty bottles in the corner of the store if you want to bottle your own spices if you should have a garden at home, or make a special concoction.
Overall, I was really impressed with this place. Well organized, staff was friendly, prices were fair and there was an ample selection of items to choose from of all kinds. If your in the area, I would suggest checking this place out. Really cool, and you don't have to be a master chef to shop here.
