The people at Savory Spice shop are great and if you love to cook or just need a little bit of spice for a dish then this is the place to be. They have a large variety and you can smell and taste every spice before you buy it! The minimum purchase is 1/2 oz. (which is roughly a tablespoon) and for most blended spices it's around $1 for that amount. It can seem a bit expensive but it's a premium for good quality and smaller amounts. Each spice purchase comes with a labeled plastic baggy.
For the more shy yelpers, here's how it goes (although I'm sure they will offer to explain in store as well):
1. Browse spices
2. Taste and smell via the labeled taster jars! (seriously, you gotta know what you're getting into and each spice usually has multiple varieties)
3. Let an employee know that you've selected your spices and s/he will package it for you.
4. Wait or randomly browse more
5. Pay at the front.
I can't wait to stop here again.
