We've been dedicated to the appreciation and enjoyment of cooking and eating since 1973. We have deep relationships with many suppliers, and lots of experience sourcing, which translates into our customers getting great and interesting products at fair prices.

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 love to cook and we use what we sell. And, we love sharing our experience and knowledge with our customers. We source and curate interesting high-quality ingredients for cooking: spices, teas, resins, wild mushrooms, aromatics, small-batch organic and sustainably-produced specialities. We also carry the occasional 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.

Everyone is welcome! 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 being our customer! And if you're new here, welcome!
