On Tuesday next week my order status was still processing When I called, Customer rep couldn't find my order. All of the time when she was investigating, she was interrupting me, extremely rude. I was told that they had computer program doing wrong things and it is my responsability to check my order and call to inform them that something is wrong. I was told that maybe by Friday my order will be delivered. But rep and her supervisor refused to send me email with the results of our conversation. I was told that Friday was hypotetical day. After the order will be processed , packed and ship within may be 48 hours, I will be contacted to provide more information. Customer rep and her supervisor ciontinued telling me that they have no time to resolve my issue (their computer program doesn't work and it is my issue), that I ask too much from them, if I will continue asking for something that they do not want to do, they will never have time to process my order. Of course, this is my LAST time ordering from these absolutely unprofessional people. Was my mistake to go with them. Highly nor recommended!

I am a big tea person, but also don't know a lot about different varieties and want to try new things. I figured it would be OK to ask questions in a tea shop.

Stopped by Penzey's in Menlo Park to stock up on a few staples, cocoa powder, Mexican vanilla (it's…read moredelicious and our favorite), pumpkin spice, and a couple of other blends we wanted to try. You can smell the spices as you walk in! The customer service is okay - hence deducting 1 star. For most spices they have, you can smell them as they keep a test container, which was fun to go around sniffing a few that we wanted to check out. The cocoa powder is incredibly smooth and deep in flavor (though hard to sprinkle out of the bottle, not sure why that is), and the Mexican vanilla adds such a beautiful aroma to my coffee every morning. Their pumpkin spice might honestly be the best I've ever had - it's perfect for making it at home without any sugar (I just add a dash to an espresso shot, froth almond milk with a bit of vanilla, and it's perfection). The store is well-organized, easy to browse, and located right in downtown Menlo Park. Plenty of parking in the back. The spices are expensive than traditional stores FYI, but you only need small amounts, and they are good quality.
