Ashley MowreyMay 12, 2016The staff are lovely. On top of that, their spices are fresh and there's an expansive selection. The spices come in multiple sizes if you're weary but want to be adventurous.- Ashley MowreyJanuary 21, 2016Knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly staff. The selection is huge and they have different size options in case you're trying out a new spice. The prices are reasonable & the spices are high quality.
