Penzey's is a great location for all the spices your heart desires! The company is based in…read moreWisconsin and has had a location in Old City for about a decade, moving from The Bourse to 3rd and Market after 2020. The location is pretty large. They carry all the spices, usually in at least 2 sizes of every spice. The store is clean with a solid layout. The staff is always very friendly. Sign up for the newsletters to be the first to know about sales. Bill Penzey, Sr. was a legend and Jr. is his own legend. If you receive the newsletters, you will know exactly where he stands on kindness, humanity, and general goodness. If you're liberal, definitely support Penzey's. It's a win-win.

The aisles are narrow. They do gangbuster business seemingly from open til close. Individually weighing and bagging stuff takes time. There's not a lot of room for the checkout line to form without everyone kinda getting squished. And there will always be one person just chatting on their phone in the aisle or not waiting for their partner outside even though they should. If you want a more comfortable, leisurely shopping experience, they also have a location in Ardmore.

THN is a small and cramped store with shelves everywhere stacked high with so many loose products. There are hand-written signs everywhere with some advising not to open the hundreds of tea leaves and ask for assistance, but when I did I was told it was ok unless "you go overboard." I certainly didn't because the prices are high and didn't want to accidentally dump a whole bucket of tea. There are coffees, nuts, teas, candies, oils, honeys, soup mixes and lots of other surprises to find as long as you can avoid knocking things over. Cash discounts here of 10% on Thursdays, 3% all other days. Staff were friendly and helpful. I ended up with "Peaches and Flowers" and "Blood Orange Fruit Blend" loose leaf teas. 1/4lb each and it was just over $20. Hope they're good!

They even carry Spanish saffron! There are so many interesting tea combinations. The staff is wonderful. They told me that if you don't see the size you want, they may have in the back or they can make it for you. The teas are loose leaf and are displayed in both large containers and in plastic packs of 2 oz or 4 oz. We purchased a 4 oz pack of Victorian chai which has floral undertones ($24) and a pack of 2 oz jasmine pearl tea ($14). The jasmine pearl buds are supposed to open up when you infuse it in hot water. (A friend of mine gifted me this from Singapore many years ago and I was happy to have found this again). Prices are steep but it's a nice occasional treat.

And then 24hrs until friday. This market is cool but they should govern all these trucks and dropped trailers to a 24hr period if spaces are hardly available because you know how people be.

Penn Herb Company - Mixed Feelings, Honest Take…read more I was really looking forward to checking out Penn Herb Company, especially thinking it might offer more variety than what I've seen at Reading Terminal. And to be fair, they did have some cool options, a few new brands, and unique finds I hadn't come across before. Definitely a good spot if you're into wellness and herbal products it helped to take some time and read up on a few things. When we first walked in, the vibe seemed friendly and calm. My family and I (just the three of us) were really just browsing, not touching everything, and stayed together. But the energy shifted a bit. Only one older staff member acknowledged us--but she also seemed to be following us. We'd change aisles, and she'd change aisles too. At one point I asked, "Are you following us? If so, can you help me find the chlorophyll?" She did show us, but the experience rubbed me the wrong way. The price wasn't clearly marked as member-only, which I only realized later. Then, after she left, another staff member appeared in the same area--which made me feel profiled. Not a great feeling. At checkout, I gave my number to sign up for the membership, thinking I'd get the discount but I never received it, and no one explained why. Left feeling confused and a bit disappointed. This was just my personal experience, and maybe others have had better luck. But as someone who values both wellness and respectful service, this visit left me feeling a little let down.

Beware, there's a lot going on. There's bulk spices, bulk candy, bulk trail mix, a WIDE selection of bulk coffee. There are cookie decorating supplies, a plethora of hot sauces, regular sauces, dried fruits, nuts, and the list could continue on and on. Flours, spices, chips. There's a little coffee bar. They have a bathroom. The aisles are narrow, fitting two people down them would only happen in the event that one of those people was flat Stanley. Things I left the store with: 1 pound of wasabi cracker mix 2 pounds of coffee 1 bottle of Crystal brand steak sauce (never seen it before, had to try it) 1 jar of Better Than Bullion mushroom soup base and 1 pound of trail mix It's basically like a store to fill your pantry and I'm quite jealous that we don't have anything like it in the DC area.
