I loved that he has a sample bottle of each of his own spices to smell. If you love to cook or know anyone who loves to cook, this shop is sure to impress! Special side note - you can tell this shop owner really cares. I am not a family member or friend of his. I saw him personally advertising outside a few days before and appreciated his commitment to sharing his products. I really hope if you've read this whole review that you stop by!
