| - I will echo a former reviewer in saying, frustrated that THEY HAVE MOVED TO TEMPE MARKETPLACE! They are over by the Men's Warehouse now.
That said, as a foodie, it was nice to find a store dedicated to the spice of things. I was not overly impressed with the individual selection of common A-Z spices. Most of what is carried will appeal to the masses: Spice blends for certain types of foods, e.g. fish, baking, dips.
I did find and purchase a couple of spices, most are available in 3 or more sizes and even bulk refills in zip top bags. I believe the spices to be fresh, cannot tell as the dates are in Julian format. I cannot speak to the quality of the spices yet as I have not tried everything I have purchased yet.
I went specifically looking for cumin, oregano and turmeric. They had no turmeric, I was not impressed with the choice of cumin or oregano; it just seemed, by smell, to lack that "ooh, I love this" mouth watering gotta have.
There were an abundance of staff on hand, not overly pushy though, but ready to answer a question if need be.
Final Rating: 4.3 Stars for the difficulty in finding the place, and hoping for a larger selection of single variety spices. Also disappointment in not finding spices that I can get even in my local Supermarket.
