This place is so awesome I can't say enough. Everytime I go in, the staff soooo helpful and patient with me. Whether I am looking for some spice I've never used before trying a new recipe (and always knowledgable), or suggesting a something different when I buy spices for things I make regularly (like chili), they have always been a pleasure to work with. They also work a lot with local groups and organizations, and that's something that you can't put a price on. They are always willing to help you find something, and have tons of ideas if you dont know what you are looking for. They also have a rewards programs that is pretty sweet too. And sometimes they have a deal where they will take your old generic spices and give you a small credit towards your purchase. Of all the places I frequent in Charlotte, this is one that I never get tired of. There are so many options in here it can be overwhelming -- but definitely in an awesome way!
