We've been dedicated to the appreciation and enjoyment of cooking and eating since 1973. People love the experience of using exotic spices, the aromas of food cooking, having unique things on their tables and shelves, and enjoying the process and the experience of cooking and eating.

We sell what we use. And we love sharing our experience and knowledge with you. And as it happens, we're one of America's oldest spice and ingredient stores, now in our 2nd half of a century in business!

We source and curate interesting high-quality spices, teas, resins, wild mushrooms, aromatics, small-batch organic and sustainably-produced specialities. We carry unique, limited supply objects and gifts, mostly kitchen-related. We make efforts to buy from sources who we believe use fair and sustainable practices in producing what they sell us.

We welcome everyone! Whether you're an eager enthusiast just playing around, or a professional chef who knows it all, we serve everyone with respect and commitment to quality and service.

Thank you for continuing to support us! And if you're new here, welcome!
