What’s not to love about an aesthetically pleasing store that solely sells unique spice blends with the friendliest staff? It’s such an experience coming in to this store and each time I feel like a kid in a candy store because I go crazy over spice blends. Highly recommend this store it’s great as gifts and staples in your pantry. I cannot recommend the volcanic salt and LSD seasoning enough!

“I am OBSESSED with this shop.”

I am OBSESSED with this shop! It’s super cute and everyone there is very helpful. I can no longer eat popcorn without the Vulcan’s Fire Salt. I also really like Lake Shore Drive as it’s super versatile!

This place has really unique blends. The staff are helpful at making suggestions. I got some new herb blends and also some flaky salt — there were lots of salt varieties. Will be back as I need more spices!! Also they have a unique line of Japanese spices as well.

“A staple for those who know.”

A staple for those who know. Honestly some of the best most fragrant spices you can get here. Sister location in Evanston is where I was introduced but this location turned out to be just as good now that the up north one is inconvenient. Of particular note: the roasted garlic is very potent. The various dried citrus peels are fragrant and fresh smelling. They have a wide variety of peppercorns for millers. It's in a dense and popular area so a car is perhaps not the best option here. There was a convenient bike lock out front. I seriously miss the old jars with the fat black lids though. New jars and labels are disappointing and uninspired compared to the minimalist beauty of the old ones. Store is fairly small and (appropriately) there is only one staff member at a time (at least when I've gone) so your best bet is to have a plan ahead of time. Thankfully the store is very well laid out, and spices are organized well. My understanding is that their premade spice blends are quite good, but I take cooking seriously, so I don't use blends, so I cant speak personally other than a Vulcans Fire Salt I was gifteda while back that is admittedly rather good.
