New spice importer who will be popping up around New Orleans…read more I found them on Saturday at the Hollygrove Market. She had a variety of peppercorns, Hungarian paprika, black sesame seeds, dried ginger root and more. I like that the spices are dated and that you can buy small quantities to ensure peak flavor. She had a square for her phone if you wanted to charge and of course, she accepted cash. Follow on FB to find out where they will be next. Their website still says coming soon.

The reason for the lower rating is a lot of the inventory was out. A lot it's a bit on the pricey side but I love supporting local businesses.

We popped in after wandering around the French Quarter for a while and the first thing we noticed was the ability to sample all the sauces...and off we went! Through that we found a few sauces that we definitely needed to get back home, so the tasting was a success! The store is well laid out, bright, in great condition and very clean. Staff was helpful and friendly from entry to exit, and you could tell they enjoyed talking all things hot sauce! Overall, cool spot to pop into when in NOLA, if for nothing else than a little sampling of the goods!

Monica was at the register and she was so funny and sassy. She said the best candy in town is the one they make in house! So I said, "Where are they then!" She said, "They are right over there!" I said, "Well let me have them then!" She rang us up and the rest is history. Monica was very fun and I would definitely return. We tried one of the homemade pralines a couple of days ago and oh man....they are SO GOOD!

The sauces listed as spicy are no joke! Flavorful but HOT! They also have a lot of other knickknacks to choose from. What convinced us to buy some items was the top tier customer service. I wish I would got the name of the lady who helped us. She was engaging and funny. The prices were similar to other shops we visited but I would definitely come back here to shop.

The owner, John, was inviting and the passion he had for his craft was intriguing - from spices, hot sauces, salsas, butters...they have it! Theres an option to sample the products they have, and they offer chips and various sides in addition to mini spoons. We ended up choosing habanero salsa and cajun kiss hot sauce. My other favorites were the Adelina's hot sauce and Bourbon St Burn !! If you are traveling and want to buy several things, they offer $5 flat shipping fee to mail it for you anywhere in the US! By the looks of a stack of boxes in the corner, its a great deal to make use of!

I was planning to do a crawfish boil and was searching high and low for an acceptable seasoning. I had two requirements 1) that the seasoning is good (obviously) and 2) that said seasoning did not have MSG. I kid you not, it is darn near impossible to find something without MSG. Well I happened upon a Youtube video that recommended Cajun Land Brand seasoning (Cajun Land is Deep South's retail line) and I was interested. So I emailed them and asked about MSG. They said theirs did not have any. Yessss! I placed myself an order for 8 lbs of seasoning for our boil and boy I tell you, this stuff is LEGIT! You cannot go wrong here. Fast shipping, great prices, excellent product. I'll be ordering again and again!

What interested me the most was the outlandish price of socks. Socks? Brightly colored, locally inspired and very costly. $15.99 a pair. Wow. Other than that prices were commensurate for the area. I still gave it four stars. I just couldn't bring myself to photograph these socks.

The variety of local and housemate product is simply amazing. Most of it looks delicious and they carry a wide variety of food. From coffee to prepared food, to bottled and even ice cream the local presence fits New Orleans perfectly. It was immediately decided that this would be tomorrows dinner spot! The aisles are great to perused and search for unique things. I wish I could take a shopping cart home with me, but, alas merely a pipedream. There's plenty of parking lot area, in front and across the street.
